Barefoot Rangers

Our Barefoot Rangers take our rugged Ranger boot and rebuild it for natural movement. Same attention to detail, same Ranger silhouette — now with a zero-drop, ultra-flexible sole and a wide, foot-shaped toe box, so your feet can move the way they were meant to. The uppers are cut from our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials), double and triple stitched into that classic Ranger silhouette. Five metal eyelets run up the lacing with two speed hooks at the top of each boot, and they come with the signature Ranger boot lacing: extra-long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester) with metal lace tips, long enough to wrap around the backs through the lace loops. Inside, Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) lines the boots — breathable to help air circulate, and a lovely place to nestle your feet. The toe box is wide and anatomical, built on an extra wide EE fit, giving your toes room to splay, flex and stabilize naturally. No squeezing, no tapering. Underfoot is where these differ most from the original Ranger. The thin, flexible TR outsole sits level from heel to toe with zero drop, and bends in every direction — giving you genuine ground feel while still protecting you from rough terrain, with just enough underfoot protection to take the edge off stony ground without dulling what your feet are telling you. The tread runs edge to edge across the full foot-shaped sole, for grip on wet sidewalks and packed paths without the bulk of a heavy lug. They're light on your feet too, at 900g for the pair. It means you can go barefoot through fall and winter — proper boot coverage over the ankle, with nothing between you and the ground but a few millimeters of flexible sole. Wear them walking on or off-road, doing your day to day, or pack them in your bag for your next epic trip. They're finished with an embroidered WVS pull tab and a WVS emboss on the tongue and outsole.
