Barefoot Dress Shoes for Active Professionals
Traditional dress shoes weaken feet, cause joint pain, & degrade balance.
At OAKA we redesigned the dress shoe from the ground up to improve health, mobility, and comfort.
As Featured In
Walk Naturally
We developed a unique faux heel to create a zero drop dress shoe that allows your feet to walk flat to the ground like you're barefoot.
Improve Foot Strength
Traditional dress shoes do not allow your feet to move and cause your foot muscles to weaken over time leading to joint pain. OAKAs allow for foot mobility and strengthening from your natural movements.
Professional Silhouette
We developed a shoe mold that gives the typical dress shoe look from the outside but in fact is actually a faux heel derived from special cut outs allowing your foot to stay flat to the ground.
Zero Drop
OAKAs have a zero drop inner sole. What that means is as you walk your feet stay flat to the ground rather than at an angle like with almost all other shoes. Most shoes, not just dress shoes, have a 8mm to 16mm height difference between the toe box and the heel making you walk at an unnatural angle and can contribute to changing your gait, poor posture, shortening the tendons, and foot pain. A zero drop sole allows you to walk more naturally and strengthen your feet over time.
Soft, Breathable Fibers
The whole shoe is soft and flexible for extreme comfort. The upper is made from rPET, upcycled fibers that are sustainable and help reduce production waste.
Slip On
Laces can be necessary but are often just annoying to deal with on a constant basis, so we made the whole shoe an easy slip on.
