About Us

“Original Path represents a new journey for us too. As Co-Founders, we feel deeply a commitment to our spoken sentiment that we are on this journey together. And we thank you for joining your story with ours.

The journey to barefoot shoes is a personal one for Paul.

As an exercise physiologist by day, Paul is not just interested but professionally invested in how the body works and moves. After suffering his own ankle injury, Paul made the transition to barefoot shoes, and has never looked back!

The opportunity to take functional barefoot shoes into the world of the casual, stylish everyday adventurer, rather than being stuck in the limited imagination of exercise or water sports, was an opportunity too good to miss!

It’s a desire that’s become our passion.

We hope your barefoot story is as transformational as ours. It’s a privilege to be part of your journey and to have you as part of ours.
We wish you the very best: be strong and courageous!”
