STIMULUS V2 Lightweight Shoes – Minimalist & Breathable 

Lightweight shoes, the Stimulus V2 has a versatile design that gives a lightweight and comfortable feel on your feet from the gym->coffee shop->work->dinner. The enhanced features offer an even more lightweight and comfortable feel than before.

Includes all the typical features in a barefoot shoe to give you strength with every step of your day. For those that are new to the non-chunky shoe world, that means it has a wide toe box, zero drop, and a thin/flexible sole. 

So why a Stimulus V2 instead of the Stimulus V1? We listened to our founding member's feedback, and made improvements to create and even better feel. Here's what's new on the V2:

-Improved structure to eliminate a pinch point on the top of the foot

-Decreased the amount of material used to feel less bulky and more snug feel on your foot

-Increased durability of insole, 0.5 mm thicker

-Lower ankle height

-Grippier laces

We have also added some new sizes to give you a better fit. If you were a Women's 9-9.5/Men's 8-8.5 in the V1, for example, you should order the Women's 9.5/Men's 8.5.

Ready to feel the difference?

 

Size Chart

The Stimulus line runs slightly big. For example, if you are typically a women's 8.5/9, size down to the 8-8.5 size. If you are more of a women's 9/9.5, the 9-9.5 will be perfect. Reach out to info@minnemals.com for help with sizing.

Care Guide

We recommend spot cleaning. If necessary, you can machine wash cold on the gentle cycle, preferably in a garment bag. Air dry only. *We do NOT recommend machine washing the latte color. Baby wipes or dish soap work well to spot clean them*

Best shoes ever!!

I’ve been wearing my Minnemals regularly, and they’ve quickly become my go-to. On the first full day, I walked about a mile—my left arch felt a bit fatigued, but no pain at all. They stayed comfortable all day.
The fit is form-hugging but broke in fast. The padded tongue and heel cup make them super easy to slip on and off. The toe box is wide enough for natural toe splay without looking goofy—though I wouldn’t mind a tiny bit more width. I can't wear them with my toe spacers, but it's a small trade-off.
They strike a great balance between barefoot and traditional—enough ground feel to let your feet "feel" without discomfort on uneven surfaces. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the style, and I love the overall look.
The only downside is the warmth—there’s not much airflow, so some breathable mesh panels would be a great future mod. Still, overall these are fantastic shoes I’ll be wearing often. Stylish, comfortable, and a great transitional barefoot option.

Best looking Barefoot shoes and very comfortable

I have been looking for more minimal/barefoot shoes for quite a while. Most of the ones I see are honestly very ugly and couldn't bring myself to pay $160 for something I didn't even like how they looked. Minnemals look great and they are very comfortable. I have been using during my strength training and have even ran in them a few times. Very impressed, will likely purchase more. I hade some issues with my first pair with the sole coming off too early, but customer service was amazing and took care of the issue.

We love these shoes!

great all rounder shoe! Love the latte colour way, works great with any outfit really. The retro style is really trendy too! It has some padding which is good when walking on concrete or hard flooring all day.
A great minimal shoe with toe box space for any activity! highly recommend

Obsessed 🤩

- I have been wearing barefoot/minimalist shoes for 3ish years (I lost track) and these are one of my favorite brands! I wear a women's 12 and Minnemals accommodates feminine shoes.
- I noticed a ton of upgrades between V1 and V2. My favorite upgrade is there is less fabric throughout the shoe. And of course, the new beige color.
- If you are on the fence about buying these shoes, do it! You won't regret it!
