Barefoot Dress Shoes for Professionals

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

Free Your Feet

Our aim is modern comfort. We redesigned the dress shoe from scratch to be wide toe & zero drop allowing your toes to splay and your gait to strike naturally.

Timeless Style

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.

Soft & Sustainable

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

Zero Drop

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.

Wide Toe

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.

Flexible Sole

Our whole shoe is soft and flexible for comfort and foot mobility, unlike rigid traditional dress shoes.

Anti Slip

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.
