The Ursus SHTG2 is a high-performance barefoot shoe specifically engineered to enhance strength training and seamlessly integrate into your everyday wear. As a true minimalist shoe, its design prioritizes natural foot function. It features a zero-drop, flat sole that promotes proper posture and balance by ensuring your heel and forefoot are at the same height, encouraging a natural gait. The wide toe-box is a key component, allowing your toes to splay comfortably and naturally, which in turn strengthens intrinsic foot muscles and improves overall stability. Whether you're engaged in heavy lifting or navigating your daily routine, these barefoot shoes are designed to foster better biomechanics and long-term foot health by encouraging a more natural foot strike and significantly improving proprioception—your body's ability to sense its position and movement.
Crafted from lightweight, yet exceptionally breathable heavy-duty canvas, the Ursus SHTG2 ensures your feet remain cool and comfortable throughout the day, even during intense activity. Its inherently flexible design moves harmoniously with the natural mechanics of your foot, making it an ideal gym shoe for serious strength athletes and casual users alike. This superior flexibility is absolutely crucial for exercises that demand a full range of motion, providing unrestricted movement vital for squats, deadlifts, and other foundational lifts. The updated outsole significantly enhances durability without compromising the essential flat, flexible feel required in a high-quality lifting shoe, offering improved longevity and unwavering grip during intense workouts.
Key performance benefits include:
A zero-drop sole for natural posture and balance, which actively promotes alignment from the ground up, benefiting your entire kinetic chain.
A wide toe-box to actively encourage natural toe spread, a feature that not only strengthens foot muscles but also fundamentally improves stability during all movements.
A flexible, flat outsole designed to optimize ground contact, providing superior sensory feedback to the user and directly enhancing lifting performance.
A durable canvas upper that ensures breathability and long-lasting wear, guaranteeing both comfort and resilience for daily activities and rigorous training.
A minimalist shoe design focused on all-day comfort, effectively reducing bulk and allowing your feet to move and function as nature intended.
The Ursus SHTG2 expertly combines the most crucial features of a dedicated lifting shoe with the everyday practicality of a versatile sneaker. This unique blend supports natural movement patterns and contributes to long-term foot health. Its highly functional design actively encourages natural stride mechanics and offers reliable comfort, transitioning effortlessly from demanding gym sessions to casual daily wear, thereby making it a truly versatile minimalist shoe. Choose the Ursus SHTG2 if you are seeking a barefoot shoe that consistently delivers exceptional performance, unwavering durability, and remarkable versatility in one sleek package, empowering both your strength training endeavors and daily activities.
The updated Gen 2 design meticulously retains the foundational functional principles of the original Ursus, while introducing a significantly more durable outsole for increased longevity, ensuring your valuable investment in optimal foot health lasts considerably longer.

I bought my new red shoes because I loved my yellow ones SO much! You see I have bunions - too many years of stilettos maybe? Anyway these little shoes just mold to my feet like a slipper and look fabulous too!
I bought these shoes for casual wear with jeans but it turns out they’re polished enough to look like patent leather so I’m wearing them for work too. This is a bonus since they’re so comfortable!
