Types of barefoot sneakers

Sneakers are divided according to their purpose into:

• outdoor sneakers - suitable for trips and the outdoors
• athletic sneakers - for all types of sports
  

According to the design we distinguish mainly:

• slip on sneakers and loafers - simple slip on shoes
• closed sneakers - canvas, cotton shoes and other solid materials
• mesh sneakers - breathable airy shoes

According to the fastening especially:

• lace-up sneakers - with traditional laces or rubber laces with brake
• Velcro sneakers - for easier fastening

Sneakers vs. low top shoes

We perceive the following differences between sneakers and low top shoes:

• Sneakers are for warm weather, all-season low top shoes for colder days
• Sneakers get wet or completely soaked in the wet, all-season low top shoes don't mind rainy weather
• Sneakers are worn at the end of spring, summer and early autumn, all-season low top shoes can be worn at any time, but in summer your feet may get hot, while in winter you will probably miss the insulation of winter shoes when moving outdoors
• Sneakers look sportier, all-season low top shoes slightly more formal

How to choose men's sneakers?

Buy barefoot sneakers online and try everything from the comfort of your home. The choice is easy:

1. carefully measure the length and width of the foot (e.g. with stops)
2. add 5-7 mm oversize to give you a free space in the sneaker
3. add both numbers and filter the desired internal dimensions of the sneakers
4. optionally add other parameters to the filter, such as color, manufacturer, etc.

Benefits of barefoot sneakers

Barefoot sneakers have the following advantages over regular sneakers:

• thanks to the wider toe, they give the fingers enough space for active functioning
• flat sole keeps the body's centre of gravity in a healthy position
• lightweight and flexible construction allows for proper walking technique and easy response to uneven surfaces

Types of men's athletic shoes

By athletic shoes for men we mean in particular:

• fitness shoes for exercise
• indoor and gym shoes
• running shoes for recreational running
• tennis shoes for various outdoor sports

Characteristics of athletic shoes

The athletic shoes differ from other barefoot sneakers in particular:

• appearance
• a sole that lasts and does not slip (or, in the case of indoor shoes, does not leave streaks)
• good fastening in the ankle to keep the foot in the shoe during movement

What are outdoor shoes?

Outdoor shoes differ from regular sneakers in that:

• they have a more durable sole that you can't just tread through
• their soles have a more rugged pattern that better prevents slipping
• better protect the toe, thus extending the life of the shoe and keeping the toes safe
• they are structurally and functionally designed for longer movement in rugged terrain

What does slip on mean?

The term slip-on means in English slip-on, most often a shoe or garment. It is a closed sneaker that you can easily slip into and use without dealing with laces, Velcro or other fastenings.

Other names for slip on shoes

Slip ons generally include several types of shoes that you may know more by another name, for example:

• ballet flats - women's slip on pumps without heel
• moccasins - flat Indian leather shoes
• espadrilles - canvas summer shoes (canvas shoes)
• sailor shoes (boat shoes, deck shoes) - canvas shoes with rubber soles to prevent boatmen from slipping on the wet deck

The question may arise whether slip on shoes also include slip on shoes. While the name would fit, the designation belongs to sandals with buckles, which as open shoes are not slip ons.
