Origo x Anya Huaraches and 4 More Barefoot Sandals
Spring is here, sandal season is upon us, and the best-selling collab is back
The Origo x Anya Huarache collaboration is back this spring, and they're selling out again. I've got info on them, plus recommendations for four more barefoot sandals to cover all the bases.

- Another leather option: Duckfeet Ringkøbing
- A vegan option: Earth Runners
- A Teva alternative: Saltic Trek Light
- For outdoor activity: LUNA Sandals Middle Bear Winged Edition
Origo "The Huarache" by Anya
Huaraches are such a good shoe. Everybody say thank you Anya for adding a specifically barefoot version of them to the barefoot shoe catalog. The intricate Mexican sandals are a versatile warm weather piece, suitable for outfits from very casual to smart casual.
I missed out on these last year when they first came out as a more limited run. They've already sold out in multiple sizes, but Origo said they're getting a restock soon on IG.
New for this year is a white color, a version that's 4mm wider and higher volume, and for the regular width, you can get them with an external leather strap to secure the shoes to your ankle or as a buckle strap version.
Check out Anya's post for a deep dive into the collab.
Duckfeet Ringkøbing
The fisherman sandal is a classic, and this one has a wide toe box and comes in a million colors, what's not to like? They have a little heel (not a dealbreaker for me, personally), but a cobbler can remove it for you.
Earth Runners
Woven cotton footbeds are something I didn't realize I needed until I had them. They feel great underfoot, wick sweat, and stay grippy when wet. Pictured is the Alpha model, which has a 10.5mm sole. Earth Runners also come in 7.5mm and 9mm models with 11 different laces to choose from.
Saltic Trek Light
These are perfect if you love Tevas but don't love arch support. The funky patterned straps come in three colorways: gray/black, light blue/black, and fuchsia/black/white (sold out). In case someone out there was wondering, Saltic also makes barefoot climbing shoes.
LUNA Sandals Middle Bear Winged Edition
A 14mm stack height and mean lugs will have you climbing over and gripping all kinds of surfaces. Get them through the LUNAcycle program to save money and avoid buying new.
