Hemp naturally doesn’t take dyes as well as some materials and therefore has a tendency to fade faster than cotton and synthetics.
Below are internal measurements between seams. Please note that these are hand made, and there may be some slight variance between measurements and each individual shoe. Also, keep in mind that the hemp does stretch and there is a break in period. The upper has a tendency to fold inward toward the foot for a few days while the shoes are broken in so it sometimes feels smaller than it is. These are not suited for people with a high instep.

Customer Reviews
I had a pair of Toms that I really liked but were far too narrow once I switched to barefoot shoes. These are definitely wider than Toms and I (fairly wide foot) feel that I have plenty of space in the toe box. Midfoot is a little snug but I expect that to stretch somewhat. So far it feels very durable. The sole is thicker than I expected with a more aggressive tread but that's fine with me. Upper materials feel great.
My only issue is the rubber insole. I don't find it very comfortable on the bottom of my feet if worn barefoot for longer periods of time, especially if my feet sweat. Leather or even a different texture would be an improvement but there's likely not enough room for a different insole.
I had to exchange for a different size and customer service was very helpful throughout the whole process.
Lastly, as maybe the only guy buying these, they definitely work for men too.
I purchased the Terra Vida in Natural and am so glad I finally got them! They were comfortable from the first time I slipped them on and they have only gotten more soft as I have worn them. The shoes are a timeless style that can be casual with jeans and dressed up with skirts / sundresses as well! Very versatile. I have gotten so many compliments on them in the week that I have worn them... I'm constantly sending the link to anyone and everyone that makes a comment:) Terral and his team have been wonderful in their communication with me throughout the ordering and delivery process as well. Overall, VERY PLEASED!! YAY!
Purchased a year ago. Spent 2 days stretching the canvas as I could hardly get my feet into them. The stretching worked but due to the way the canvas is sewn to the sole, they are narrow across the toes. No room for toe splay. I did keep them as they are the only slip ons that don't fall off my heel. I only wear for short durations due to narrow toe box. My Foot is medium width and low to medium volume. I was so disappointed.
Hi, Mckenzie! We are sorry that they don't work as well as you'd hoped. We have changed the sizing by 1/2 size up to give more room, since this was a common complaint. If you want to try our new sizing to see if it works better for you, or try our new leather vida or Forager models that stretch to fit your foot better we would be happy to work with you! Thank you for your feedback! It is valuable to hear for people who may be looking for a shoe that is suited to wider/higher volume feet, and not the narrow, low volume feet that these shoes fit best.
I love these shoes! They are so comfortable it's like wearing breathable slippers. Looking for more colors and maybe a pair of sandals now. These are my favorites!
These are pretty much the slip-ons I've been searching for: anatomical toe box, narrow heel, thin sole, durable and structured upper. They're comfy and stylish! My feet are 22.9 cm and I ordered a 6.5, but when they arrived I thought they were waaaay too small. But I remembered the tips in the descrip above, as well as from barefoot shoe reviewers who mentioned that they'll stretch out a bit to fit - and they did! They fit well now and I'm so glad I didn't exchange for a larger size.
One disappointment: the footbed isn't lined with fabric; my foot rests on what appears to be the backside of the plasticy/rubbery sole. I have clammy/sweaty feet, so can't wear these barefoot like I was expecting. Hopefully I can get a thin, breathable insole that won't take up much room...
SIZE CHART
Our sizing is based on standard shoe sizing and is typically true to size, however, we suggest measuring your foot and and using the shoe size chart below to determine the best size for you. Stand with your heel against a wall and place a ruler or measuring tape along your foot to measure the total distance from the wall to the longest part of your foot. If you already own a pair of Unshoes sandals, you will likely wear the same size but please check the chart to make sure.
