Roadaround 2 Women's

The Roadaround 2 Women's is the catalog's five-toe sneaker. Ultra-breathable airy mesh, reflective panels, and ivory or black colorways: it's the model in the toe shoe lineup that looks the most like a classic sneaker, with separated toes on top.

Technical specifications

The model that doesn't stand out as a five-toe shoe

Looks are often what stops people from switching to minimalist shoes for everyday wear. The Roadaround 2 solves that by borrowing the silhouette of a retro running sneaker, airy mesh and reflective panels included. In the city, on transit, or at the office, it passes for an ordinary sneaker. The 12 mm total sole, split between EVA, midsole, and Ecostep Recycle rubber, provides the cushioning needed to handle a day on asphalt. In exchange, ground feel is more filtered than on the lineup's 3 or 5 mm models.

This model or another

The men's version of the Roadaround 2 offers the same construction in 14 sizes, 37 to 50. If you prefer a direct feel and lightness for running, the V-Run Women's switches to a thin sole and a perforated upper. To see all the lineup's city silhouettes, browse barefoot sneakers.

Which size to choose

The sneaker cut doesn't fit like the technical FiveFingers models. Measure your foot standing, at the end of the day, from heel to longest toe, add five millimeters, and check the measurement against the size guide. Each toe should reach the end of its compartment without jamming. The rest of the women's lineup is grouped in women's barefoot shoes.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Roadaround 2 real barefoot footwear?

No, and that's by design. With 12 mm of total sole, it goes beyond strict barefoot, where the rest of the catalog sits between 3 and 5.7 mm. You keep separated toes and zero drop; you trade some ground feel for cushioning.

Can it be worn all day in the city?

That's exactly its purpose. The 12 mm split between the EVA, the midsole, and the Ecostep Recycle rubber absorb the asphalt, and the airy mesh limits heat buildup by the end of the day.

Does it pass unnoticed like a sneaker?

It's the lineup's closest model to that, with a retro running-sneaker silhouette and reflective panels. The five toe pockets remain visible up close, but the overall line is that of a sneaker.

What's the difference from the men's version?

The construction is identical. Only the size range changes: 9 sizes from 35 to 43 for women, 14 sizes from 37 to 50 for men. If your size falls right on the boundary, trust the measurement in centimeters rather than the label.

Is the sole recycled?

The outsole is a Vibram Ecostep Recycle, made from at least 30% recycled rubber, at 4 mm thick.
