A classic Oxford. Room to move.

The Varo pairs a familiar lace-up silhouette with room for your toes, a flexible sole, and natural leather. For days at work, evenings out, and everyday wear.

Black leather for a clean, versatile finish that works with everyday and more dressed-up outfits.

What is grounding?

Grounding means making an electrical connection between your body and the Earth. The Varo has a pure copper plug through its leather sole, creating a conductive path when you stand or walk on a conductive ground surface.

The copper connection is one part of the design. The wide toe box, zero-drop heel, and flexible sole are what let your feet move naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should the Varo fit?

The Varo fits true to size. Use our size finder to check your foot length. The laces adjust for a secure fit while the wide toe box gives your toes room.

Will the leather soften with wear?

Yes. Natural leather stretches and breaks in. A snug fit can relax, but do not rely on break-in to fix toes that feel jammed. Try your pair carefully indoors first.

What makes the Varo a barefoot Oxford?

A wide toe box, a zero-drop heel, and a thin, flexible leather sole let your feet move naturally in a classic lace-up silhouette.

How does the copper plug work?

The copper plug passes through the sole to create a conductive connection with the ground. Grounding depends on contact with a conductive surface; the plug does not make every surface conductive. Learn more about grounding.

What if I need a different size?

US shipping and size exchanges are free. Try your shoes carefully indoors and keep them unworn if you may need to return them. Read the full return policy.

How do I care for the leather?

Brush off loose dirt and wipe gently with a soft cloth. Allow wet shoes to air dry away from direct heat. Test any leather care product on an inconspicuous area first, especially on undyed leather.
