Barefoot Shoe Fair: For manufacturers, retailers and enthusiasts

Last year, the first the "Barefoot European Shoe" trade fair was held in Offenbach, Germany, and was very well received by shoe manufacturers, retailers, and consumers alike. The 2nd Barefoot Shoe Fair will take place in Offenbach from 24 to 26 July 2026.

This shoe fair is the first platform in Europe dedicated exclusively to barefoot shoes. More than 70 exhibitors representing around 80 brands were present at the first barefoot shoe fair 2025, organised by Messe Offenbach in cooperation with the Federal Association of the German Footwear and Leather Goods Industry (HDS/L). The portfolio ranged from women's, men's and children's shoes to trekking and safety shoes. „It was a sensational start”, sums up Arnd Hinrich Kappe, Managing Director of Messe Offenbach. „We really struck a chord with this fair!“ Visitors from 41 countries came to the Barefoot European Shoe Fair 2025.
