Size Guide

Existing customers likely need a half size larger than their Archetypes*

Details

The Canvas High is the new, original athletic shoe.

Canvas shoes became popularized in the early 1900s, and their simple versatility has made them a timeless style that almost every brand has drawn inspiration from.

Made primarily from cotton canvas natural fibers, the Canvas High comes in white and natural.

Stack Height = ~13mm

Fit

If you have purchased Archetypes, try .5 size larger.
(Size 9 Archetypes = Size 9.5 Canvas Highs)

Our size chart was made for the Archetypes, and we did our best to match the sizing for the new shoes to that.

The Soleil and the Canvas Highs were built on equipment with identical length and width specs as the Archetypes, but the Canvas Highs feel slightly shorter.

If you have not purchased Archetypes, which fit most people "true-to-size", your best bet is your typical size +.5.
If you are usually a 10, start with 10.5.

Exchanges are covered with our $3.98 package protection at checkout, so use that to swap for the right size (tried-on shoes must be in "New" condition so we can repackage and resell them- we are a small company!)

Transition

Best for:

  • New to barefoot shoes
  • People who injured themselves from barefoot shoes
  • Barefooters who want more cushioned options
  • Court sports (Pickleball, Tennis)
  • Prolonged walking on concrete
  • Colder weather

~13mm in stack height (similar to Vans and Converse)

You may never transition to a thinner shoe than this, and that is fine!

    Comfort beasts

    These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, bar none. Mind you, I had injured the top of my foot prior to wearing them (2nd degree burn), and I could not wear anything else. Feeling what an actually wide toe box feels like was amazing, and they look stylish in the gym if paired with sweatpants. Highly recommend, 10/10.

    Excellent Fit

    Great fit and finish. Comfortable for everyday use. I also have done a workout in the shoes and it was fantastic since my feet felt so comfortable.

    Second pair of Tolos, even better than the first

    I bought a pair of Archetypes a couple of years ago, my first introduction to barefoot shoes. The transition was a bit rough, but eventually I grew into them. Over two years, I beat them up, mostly at the gym lifting but also walking around town (they are still in decent shape though!). When the Canvas High released, I knew it was time to get another pair of tolos. I’ve worn these shoes for lifting, walking, even trail hiking; they are comfortable, durable, and a great stylish option for casual wear. They do fit slightly larger than my archetypes, but I was aware of that before purchasing. I opted for “transition” over barefoot with my Canvas Highs just for a bit of extra support on longer walks around the city. They’ve been great for these first few months and I don’t see that changing. Looking forward to my next pair of tolos!

    Love the shoes

    I love the shoes overall. I generally wear a size 11 and these fit well with athletic socks but are a little too snug with wool socks. I would definitely purchase again I'll probably go up a half size next time so I can wear them with my wool socks in the winter too.
