These barefoot dress shoes feel sooooo different than conventional dress shoes! The Cameron from Magical Shoes is flexible, soft, and unstructured without looking like slippers.
They have an oxford feel to them but with a moccasin topstitch that eliminates pressure points. They can even be slipped on without undoing the laces, unless you have high arches (in which case, elastic laces would be an easy swap).
They work great in a business casual environment – my husband Robby has been reaching for them often because they’re just so undeniably comfortable! But of course they can be worn casually as well with leggings and a flannel, or denim.
Real Barefoot Feel
The insole is vegetable tanned leather and the can be worn with or without socks. I love the toe construction that allows for plenty of vertical space in the toe box (no toe envelope here!) so there’s no downward pressure on my big toes and no dreaded “toe poke”.
There’s lots of ground feel with the 5.5mm rubber outsole that is flexible in all directions. Gray and Cognac colors are shown in this review, but they also come in beige, black, and marine.
Sizing & Fit
Magical Shoes runs small so my husband and I both chose 1 size up from our regular closed-toe shoe size and they fit great. In general, the fit type is:
- Mountain Shaped toe box, but also works for Plateau or Slope
- High Volume over the arch and the toes
- Runs small – size up
- Wide, straight fit – not good for narrow heels
In the photo below, you can see how my extra wide feet (most of my width is at the ball of my foot) spill over the edge a little. Since the upper leather is so soft, I don’t find this uncomfortable or irritating at all. So even some extra wide feet can find a good fit in these. I also think these could be a good option for someone with bunions thanks to the tall toe box with the seam on the top of the foot rather than the sides.

I’m wondering if you can speak to the durability of these shoes? I really like the look of them but given the softness of the leather I question durability…..Thanks!
Hi Alexis! Robby has been wearing them consistently since last summer and we haven’t had any issues with durability. The leather is wrinkled from wear, but they’re holding up just fine.
The sole sticking out beyond the shoe on all sides, especially the front, makes me hesitate about this shoe as I tend be fairly active, even when I’m dressed up. Do you or your husband find the sole to trip you up or catch the ground because of this design?
We have not had that issue. The extra lip around is pretty minimal and since the whole shoe is lightweight and very flexible it really moves well with you and doesn’t feel bulky.
