The idea behind Shapen

Healthy feet are beautiful feet

Traditional shoes squeeze the toes together, lift the heel, and restrict the foot's natural range of motion. Over years, this can lead to shortened Achilles tendons, sunken arches, and twisted toes.

Shapen's barefoot shoes let your feet work the way they were meant to – spread your toes, feel the ground beneath you, and build strength with every step. But unlike many other barefoot shoes, you don't have to sacrifice style and trendiness for the sake of it.

Mia Štepanovská, Shapen's founder, has lived with scoliosis and foot problems herself, and she knows that the right shoes can make a difference. She created Shapen to prove that barefoot shoes can be both beautiful and functional.

Today, Shapen has customers all over the world. Their shoes are highly rated for design, comfort and durability. In 2025, their sandal "Orchid" won the Global Footwear Award - an international recognition that barefoot can indeed be both stylish and smart.

We at Tjåkko congratulate Mia and her colleagues on a well-deserved award!
