Sizes are US. Size down if a half size.
Traditional dress shoes cause joint pain, poor posture, & toe squeezing.
OAKA's give you all the comfort & benefits of barefoot shoes while remaining stylish for the office and special occasions.
As Featured In
We created special cutouts in the outer sole to mimic a professional heel without actually adding any height. We combined this with classic styles to provide comfort and a clean look.
These cutouts double as outlets for our hidden tread system, normally found in sneakers, that helps prevent hydroplaning.
We use soft, premium upcycled rPET fibers originally derived from plastic bottles to form our upper. This creates an incredibly comfortable feel and allows for extra toe flexibility while also being eco-friendly.
Freedom Through Natural Movement
OAKAs have a zero drop inner sole allowing you to walk as if barefoot. This means your toes and heel sit at equal height to each other to the ground.
This improves posture and aligns your gait.
Our shoes come with a wide toe box allowing your toes to splay as they naturally would helping to improve balance and reduce foot pain.
Our whole shoe is soft and flexible for comfort and foot mobility, unlike rigid traditional dress shoes.
We also made OAKAs anti-slip through a hidden open tread outer sole that reduces hydroplaning.
Similar to sneakers however we use our faux heel cutout to allow water to displace without having to show the treads on the outside.
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 87 reviews.
A little too long but I’m in Canada so can’t order a smaller size and then keep the best fitting pair.
This is my second pair. They have become my default business show to wear with suits - super-comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on them
one size smaller as suggested, worked for me. My use case is orthotics these work fine.
I'm very happy with these shoes, and will buy more from Oaka.
