Barefoot meets Protection! The Bare-XF Pro is designed to move freely while being protected during your workout. The Bare-XF Pro incorporates our NATURALFIT wide toe box, allowing your toes to splay as if you were barefoot. We also added even more protection to the shoe, like midfoot and toe bumpers , ensuring your foot is protected at all times. We've also kept our superb grip and ROPE-TEC protection consistent in the new outsole mold design, which, if you can believe it, is lighter than its predecessor. This has no insole, so you are as close to the ground as possible!
