The Fair For Healthy Walking.
The BAREFooT European Shoe Fair is the first platform in Europe dedicated exclusively to barefoot shoes. Together with the growing community, we are setting new standards for healthy, natural walking. The 1st Barefoot Shoe Fair will take place in Offenbach from 31 July to 3 August 2025.
Messe Offenbach is proud to present the premiere of the BAREFooT, bringing together manufacturers, retailers, and enthusiasts. In partnership with The Federal Association of the German Footwear and Leather Goods Industry (HDS/L), we are offering a platform specially tailored to the needs of the industry.

It's high time to take a closer look at this important shoe segment. And to offer the growing barefoot shoe community its own platform.

The rapidly growing barefoot shoe segment needs its own independent platform where manufacturers, retailers and everyone involved with barefoot shoes can meet, inform themselves and exchange ideas. The broad spectrum of barefoot shoe brands will become visible in Offenbach.

HDS/L Chairman
We are creating a cool platform for a cool community here. The HDS/L is the right partner and Messe Offenbach with its central location is the best location. I also find it very exciting to open up the trade fair to end consumers on two days. This gives us a lot of new impulses.
