THE DO-IT-ALL BAREFOOT SHOE

The Ascent is everything you love about barefoot shoes, but with a stylish leather design that can be worn beyond just the gym - blending seamlessly into your business casual outfit at work, walking around the urban jungle, or enjoying a night out. 

This shoe was designed and built with comfort, performance, and durability in mind-we intend for it to last you for years to come and become your new go-to favorite.

ZERO RISK

  • We offer a forever guarantee (yes - literally FOREVER) - no time limit! If for whatever reason, you are not fully satisfied with this shoe, just send them back for an exchange or full refund!
  • Example: 6 years from now, you change your mind and the shoes are worn in: Contact us, send the shoes back, and we will refund your money!

DETAILS

  • Premium Full-grain Leather Upper: Durable, warm, water/stain-resistant, the leather upper will gradually mold to the exact shape of your feet, increasing fit and comfort with every wear
  • Foot-shaped Toe Box: The wide toe box allows natural toe splay; this increases foot stability, improving foot performance and health
  • Sewn Rubber Outsole: Made using a highly-durable rubber material, our outsole features a herringbone tread pattern for maximum traction, even on slippery, or wet surfaces. This one-piece rubber outsole is glued, pressed, and then stitched to ensure it will never separate.
  • Zero-Drop: Our outsole is a consistent 5mm thickness from heel to toe - this ensures you're standing on a flat surface, preventing pelvic tilt and ensuring natural body alignment

INCLUDES

  • 3 pairs of insoles: Each pair of shoes includes 3 removable pairs of insoles you can swap depending on your desired level of support and activity!
    • Thin Minimalist insoles (Zero-drop; 3mm thick) For those seeking a true barefoot feel and increased performance when lifting
    • Medium Mid-ground insoles (Zero-drop; 4mm thick) The middle ground between the Max-Energy and Minimalist insoles
    • Thick Max-Energy insoles: (Cushioned heel; 5-11mm thick) Our thickest insoles offer maximum impact absorption to protect your heel from repeated impacts on modern surfaces like concrete and asphalt. Great for long days in the urban jungle, skateboarding, or if your feet aren't ready for "barefoot" levels of support.
  • 2 pairs of laces - Each pair of shoes includes two pairs of laces in two different colors, so you can vary your look!

SIZING

  • These shoes run slightly big. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down. Please reference our Sizing Guide before purchasing!

Stylish and amazing fit

They look cool, especially if you swap out the included red laces, and the feel is very minimalist. The inclusion of multiple footbeds is a wonderful feature and I wish all shoes had that.

My favorite shoes!

I’ve been looking into getting into barefoot shoes for both my foot health and exercise. However, I couldn’t find any that I really liked the look of, until I found Icarus. I’m typically a size 9.5 so I took the advice to size down and they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. The quality of the leather and overall construction of the shoe is very nice. They look great for both training and casual wear. Everything just comes together to make one fantastic shoe, you won’t be disappointed. Will be buying again.

Good after short break-in

It might be a personal problem, but the back part of my foot (kind of the Achilles tendon area/behind the ankle) was rubbing against the back collar of the shoe. It was really uncomfortable when I was driving and that's where I noticed it most, since pressing down on the gas pedal would push the back collar into the tendon area.

However after pushing through that and wearing it for the rest of the week, I think the material got softer, or that area of my foot/ankle got stronger, and I don't notice it anymore. The shoe is very well made, and I will probably buy another pair!

A New Standard

These shoes are simply incredible. I've been a barefoot shoe junkie for years now and have owned all of the major brands. I'm a few months into owning these shoes and they are holding up better than any of the competition, plus they look incredible. Well done! Looking forward to more colorways so I can grab another pair.

Solid shoes

These shoes are incredible . Even when comparing other wide toe box shoes, their design is superior. Pain from my bunions has significantly decreased after a week of wear. Can’t wait for new colors!
