Fit Notes
- If you wear 7.5–8 with a wide foot, size up to Large
- If you wear 7.5–8 with a narrow foot, size down to Medium
- Coral and Dark Shadow colors have a slightly more snug fit
- Black and Light Grey are the most forgiving for wider feet; all colors are designed to stretch
- For men up to size 10.5: choose Large. For a more forgiving fit, select Black or Light Grey unless you wear a smaller size.
- For proper fit, the performance skin should sit where the ball of your foot meets your toes. Gently tug the top edge where it meets the ankle and top of the foot for correct placement.
Why you'll feel the difference
Designed for Barre, Pilates, Lagree, Reformer & Yoga, these closed-sole grippy shoes deliver barefoot control with all-over traction.
Barreletics fit like a second skin—ultra-light, durable, breathable, and built for grip. Move confidently through Reformer sessions, Megaformer sequences, Barre, Lagree, and Yoga training. Natural toe splay and steady stability maximize results—smarter than a grip sock.
The Closed Sole matches the Open Sole design with full-bottom coverage.
One pair. No more socks.
