FAQ

Q: Do your shoes fit true to size? Can I order my normal size?

As there are inconsistencies between different brands, it’s not always reliable to rely on ordering your usual size. We’d always recommend using our Size Guide to check the fit and avoid unnecessary returns, especially as our barefoot-style shoes do fit slightly larger than other brands offering this kind of product. Please read our other FAQs for more insight into sizing.

Q: I’m between sizes, which should I go for?

If you’re looking at our Recharge style we suggest going for the size up.

On all other styles, we suggest going for the size down.

Q: Are all your shoes the same sizing?

No, we have some different fits, so check the size chart that corresponds with the shoe you’re ordering.

Q: Is there a difference between the mens and womens sizing?

We have different size charts as the same shoes are considered different sizes between men and women in the US and Australia. The fit of both mens and womens shoes is the same.

Q: How much room should I have in front of my toes?

This is personal preference, however we suggest between 5-10mm. A good way to check is to put on a pair of shoes that fit you well and assess the space you have on these. You can do this whilst wearing the shoes, or even slip the insole out and place your foot on them with your heel at the back and check the space you have in front of your toes.

If checking the sandal size guide, please remember you’ll want space at the back of the footbed as well as the front.

Q: I don’t have a printer, what shall i do?

Not to worry, the next best thing is to stand against a wall and simply place your foot on a piece of paper and draw around it. Then to measure the length and ideally the width of your foot. Depending on preference, you’ll want around 5-10mm space in front of your toes, so check our size guide for the length that corresponds best with that.

A good tip is to draw around your foot whilst wearing the kind of socks you’d intend to wear with the shoes you’re ordering.

Q: The size guide keeps cutting off part of the shape when printing, what shall I do?

If the top part of the page printed OK then you can still check the width is a good fit. To check the length, we’d suggest following the method described in "Q: I don’t have a printer, what shall i do?”

Q: The size guide isn’t printing to scale, what should I do?

Without the correct scale the size guide won’t be useful for sizing purposes, but it’s always handy to be able to assess the general shape. To check your size we’d suggest following the method described in "Q: I don’t have a printer, what shall i do?”

Q: Should my foot match the length mentioned in the size chart?

No, you will need some space in front of your shoes. We’d suggest 5-10mm depending on preference.

Not flexibele enough

Dear Bahe Team,

I recently purchased a pair of your sandals ahead of my holiday, attracted by the promise that they were suitable for running and hiking. The fit and sizing are excellent, and I had high hopes for their performance.

However, I’ve been very disappointed with the flexibility of the sole. The sole is stiff and does not move naturally with my foot. When I lift my foot, my toes bend upward as expected, but the sole remains flat and fails to follow the motion. As a result, the sole drags along the ground and has even caused me to stumble — particularly noticeable when walking up stairs.

This issue has made me feel unsafe wearing them, and I haven’t dared to use them for hiking as originally intended. Given the price point of the sandals, I expected much better functionality and comfort.

I would appreciate it if you could look into this issue and advise me on possible next steps.

Kind regards,
Sandra Fraikin

Hi Sandra, thanks for your feedback, it's always welcome and appreciated. We've created the sandal to have a balance of good flexibility combined with a little cushioning, trying to be very practical option for sustained use which works well for most people. If the flexibility is you're main concern, we find that this always increases with more wear. Some simple sandals are a single layer, however ours combine a textured EVA top layer for comfort and stimulation of the foot with a rubber base for durability and grip. With the two layers, after a few wears you should find they adapt to your movement well.

Love them! Took a while to adjust the fit but now I’ve got them how I like them will be wearing them all the time. Very secure, could do with slightly more ground feel but great for all round use and lovely colour.

Transforming!

These sandals are so comfortable to wear, yet very firm and stable. They are also very stylish! I got many compliments about them. They really feel like walking barefoot, with the plus of protecting your soles.

Thanks Alexis for the great review. Functionality, grounding and comfort is what we strive for, we are glad they are ticking all the boxes for you.

Perfect fit. They said to downsize. I normally wear a 10.5, ordered a size 10 and they are AWESOME. very comfortable. Adjustable. A little heavier than I was anticipating. But I absolutely love these sandals. Huge upgrade from xero sandals. 😁🫶

Comfy!

With the help of AI I was able to navigate which grounding sandals would be the best fit for me. Bahe provides a neat texture on the inside of the sandals which is very nice to step on. The straps seem very durable as well. I was also looking for a sandal with enough grip on the bottom for minimal walking/hilking and Bahes sole texture is perfect for that. They do recommend you go down one size which I did not do. I think I could have gone down 1/2 a size but not a full size so I chose against what was recommended and it’ll just take some getting used to. The only downside with buying from this company is the tariffs but the sandals are such good quality it is worth the buy.

Hi Kylei

Thanks for your extensive review, as we are quite proud of our barefoot sandals. Having a great indepth review like this always helps us with understanding our customers and their needs. We do understand the US tariffs and hopefully something changes in the international marktet soon to relax this, we are glad that regardless of this you are happy with your purchase from us and we hope to see you back with us soon.
