Built for workouts, park runs and everyday movement, Active II combines a distinctive camouflage knit upper with quick-lock laces and a flexible rubber sole. The structured upper keeps the foot comfortably secure, while the roomy toe shape and zero-drop sole allow more natural movement from gym to outdoor trails.
Our machine-washable shoes are made with durable materials that can withstand a gentle wash cycle. To preserve their quality and ensure proper cleaning, follow these steps:
Pre-Wash: Remove the laces and insoles.
Placement: Put the shoes in a delicate wash bag (a pillowcase works too).
Washing Cycle: Use cold water with mild detergent on a gentle cycle.
Drying: Shake off excess water and air dry—avoid using a dryer.
Tip: The shoes will regain their original shape after one or two wears.
Non-Machine-Washable Shoes
For shoes that are not machine washable, gentle hand-cleaning is recommended to protect the materials and ensure longevity. Follow these steps:
Surface Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the surface.
Hand Washing: Mix a little warm water with mild detergent, and gently scrub the shoes with a soft brush.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess cleaning solution.
Drying: Remove the insoles and air dry the shoes at room temperature—avoid direct sunlight and radiators.
Note: Some materials, such as canvas or faux leather, may lose their shape or get damaged if machine washed.

Sustainable Materials
Natural Rubber Soles: Durable, slip-resistant, and environmentally friendly, supporting natural movement without compromise.
4mm Polyurethane Foam Insoles: Crafted for comfort and sustainability, these insoles are recyclable, biodegradable, and meet international environmental standards.
Multifunctional Woven Bags: Our versatile, reusable packaging eliminates the need for disposable boxes, reducing waste.
With a minimalist, animal-friendly approach, SAGUARO’s designs keep you connected to nature every step of the way.
The heel and forefoot sit at the same level, creating a stable platform for squats, deadlifts and controlled strength exercises. The low, flexible construction also helps you stay connected to the ground during walking and running.
Featuring a wide toe box, these shoes that look like feet offer ample space for your toes to naturally spread out in a fan shape, allowing for enhanced ground perception and grip. The lightweight design ensures a comfortable and natural walking experience.
Active II is designed for movement that changes throughout the day. Wear it for strength training, HIIT, park runs, daily walks, travel or light trail activities when you want flexible barefoot movement with a more athletic and supportive upper.
I don't think I've gone a day without wearing these shoes since I got them. They are the comfiest shoes I've had in a long time. So much that I don't even think to take them off when I get home. I usually wear a UK 6.5 or a 7 so I bought the size 40 and they're perfect. Will definitely be shopping here again.
I absolutely love these shoes. I have tried many different, very expensive, brands of shoes. I have barely worn another pair of shoes since I have bought them. They are the perfect pair of shoes for my small frame and very picky lower body. They are so comfortable. I can't wait to get another pair.
Fantastic fit. Different feeling so much more with the feet and certainly more of a work out for the foot/calf but muscles feel stronger as a result. Love the look and hoping to get more soon!
Active ||'s are soooo cool ! These shoes are obviously more durable than other brands,,, no mention 😉
I should know, I purchased 6 pairs
and I love them .
I'm definitely buying more Saguaro's !
That have a great line of bare foot & Winter shoes 😁❤️
These shoes are great for all around activities and playing pickleball ball!
I've been wearing five -fingers for over 10 years. So, adapting to these shoes was easy.
Loving these shoes so far. I’ve been using barefoot shoes from an expensive brand for almost 9 years, but wanted to try Saguaro. They’re super comfortable, lightweight, and give great ground feel.
I’ve had them for a week and already used them for a 5 km park run, a 5 km trail run, and a 6 km hike. The grip was spot on—no slips or trips, and it felt like my toes were really engaging with the ground.
Quality seems solid for the price—the sole still looks intact so far.
Good price for the quality and comfort. I wear it everyday for my long morning walks. However, I replaced the shoe pads for another with better arch support but otherwise the wide toe box is most ideal for my wide feet. I would suggest nicer and neater looking achilles loops like my Nikes on the left of the photo. Otherwise a great pair of shoes for the price. Will likely buy another soon.
I've purchased over 6 pairs of Barefoot by Saguaro. People always compliment and ask are they comfortable? This pair is the bestest, yet! I'm so shockingly pleased. I'm aching from a car accident, but my feet are so relaxed. The shoes are relaxing. Thank you for these. Perfection!
I can’t say enough about these shoes because; I bought barefoot shoes in the past that were very flimsy and rolled off my feet when I was exercising. These shoes are amazing, they are durable and they look great
I’ve been wearing the smart II shoe for a few weeks as was so impressed I thought I would try a different model, the Actives are an amazing shoe, same minimalist sole but with a more supporting upper, I couldn’t be more impressed.
I have to admit I was skeptical about these shoes! After the first few days wearing them in the benefit was obvious. The size chart worked wonders, they fit perfect right out of the box. Once I got use to my feet being freed from the restraint of normal shoes I felt unstoppable! I almost forgot they were on my feet. Long story short, these shoes give your feet ample protection without limiting your foot. After wearing them during work a few days I decided to test them out on my 20 mile day thru hike through the Enchantments. The traction and flex saved my life on the trail. Honestly I’d say these are worth the risk after how much they’ve positively impacted my day to day life. If you want to stop ignoring your feet and take the day step by step improving the health of your feet, these are for you! I know I’ve said enough, but what is more important than your foundation? If you’re curious about barefoot shoes, I think this is as good an entry point as any. Thank you Saguaro for making these not only affordable, but with our feet in mind! I am excited to see how durable these are and really put them to the test!
Such a fan of these shoes!!!! Great customer service when I ordered the wrong size. Super happy with them and will definitely purchase some more soon.
Super fast shipping time and was kept up to date on the delivery of the shoes.
The only thing that sucks is that I don’t have enough money to buy more.
🦶🏼👟❤️
Really very happy with this purchase. Before this pair of trainers I was in a pair of vivo trainers. I'd say the saguaro fit me much better. They're super grippy, very flexible and wide. The inner sole provides a nice layer of cushioning when I'm running and is easy to remove for a true barefoot experience. They're not waterproof but dry very quickly and I've already recommended them to several friends.
I am retired U.S. Marine, and I have CIDP, an autoimmune disease that affects the peripherals in my legs and hands. They are always numb, and it is difficult to build muscle because of the nerve damage. A year ago, I was using a walker. It has been a journey to recover my emotional and physical fitness, as my legs atrophied while going through treatment and therapy, but here I am! The Saguaros help me so much with balance and calf strength. My calves are sore- they are growing! I love the way they feel when I wear them, because I can feel the ground through the numbness. and they look so good!

loving them. I was dubious about how they would feel, but it's the closest to bare feet I've ever felt. I've always hated wearing shoes, and in summer, I go barefoot as often as possible.
Downsides? Well, there is one. Wearing normal shoes after these feels horrible. My toes have got used to freedom and going back to workboots, even my Oliver workboots that are the best I've ever worn, they still feel like a prison for my feet.
They are wide enough for those with size 12 feet. Feature a nice little insole. Need to get used to walking slowly or walking with a more rapid midfoot strike cadence as any heel striking is felt, but this isn't the fault of the shoe simply adapting to this kind of footwear.
I bought Vitality III khaki and Active II green and love them both. I keep the Vitality III for activities and for when the weather is a little cooler as the Active II are more airy and keep my feet don’t a little cooler. I guess Vitality III would fair better in wet conditions but both have inner soles which would need drying in the event of rain, sea or a river crossing. I have become a keen wearer of zero drop, wide toe shoes and these Saguaro shoes are comfortable, original and great value. The only hic is that the inner soles usually become displaced when you remove the shoes but it’s a minor problem so don’t cry 😎
Go these for my hubbie. He like how easy they are to slip on with the bungee cord laces. Comfortable and good grip. No more toe pressure like traditional narrow runners.
