We do not accept returns or exchanges on clearance shoes sold during this sale. We recommend using our sizing guide to find your shoe size before placing an order. Please contact us with any sizing questions before making your purchase.
Every pair of shoes in our clearance sale is a unique, single item sold on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If you click the "Add to Cart" button and see a red notice that says "Product that you are trying to add is not available," then somebody else just purchased that shoe and it is now out of stock.
If you are viewing your shopping cart page before checking out and a red notice below a shoe says "This product is out of stock," then somebody else purchased it after you added it to your cart. You must remove this shoe from your cart to proceed.
If you reach the final payment page and see a red notice saying "Not all of your products are available in the requested quantity," then this means somebody else completed a checkout and purchased one or more of the shoes in your cart after you began the shipping/checkout process. You must return to your shopping cart page and remove the product that is now listed as out of stock in order to proceed.
We understand that this can be very frustrating, especially during the busy beginning hours of the sale, but we have found this to be the most practical system to facilitate our clearance sale.
We cannot combine shipping for multiple orders of sale shoes.
We offer free USPS Ground Advantage shipping to destinations within the USA and free international shipping when minimum order requirements are met (the header of our website will display these minimum requirements in your local currency). If you have questions about our shipping options or the arrival time of your shoes, please visit our Shipping Page for more details.
Clearance shoes are either First Quality, Cosmetic Defect or Irregular.
First Quality: unless otherwise noted, a clearance shoe is First Quality. These shoes are in brand new condition with no defects of any kind. Most of our clearance shoes fit into this category.
Cosmetic Defect: shoes labeled as Cosmetic Defect have extra discounts applied because they show small blemishes in appearance only. These blemishes do not affect the fit, function or durability of the shoe and are often very hard to notice, such as a small dot of oil or glue on the exterior of the shoe. Read the product descriptions of these shoes for full details of their defects.
Irregular: shoes labeled as Irregular are discounted the most and contain flaws that may alter the fit, function or durability of the shoe. Examples would be a scratch in leather that may wear out and tear over time, or a stitching error that affects the size of the shoe. Specific details of a shoe's irregularity can be found in its product description.
Due to the fast-paced nature of clearance sales, we are unable to offer in-store pickup or in-store purchase of clearance shoes for local customers. However, we do offer free First Class shipping. Deliveries to our local zip codes are very fast!
No end date is set. The sale ends when all the clearance shoes are gone! This usually happens within one week of the sale start date.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I have purchased over 8 pair of 'minimalist' shoes in the past 3 years...none of them felt like walking barefoot to me......until now. Your leather is soft your soles are flat and my foot is relaxed!!!"
"My entire experience with Softstar has been nothing short of an amazing experience from beginning to end. Will not buy any other shoes...my feet no longer hurt at all."
"This shoe is exactly what you would hope it to be. High quality leather and workmanship in a simple, natural stance running shoes made of all natural materials. Glad I found them."
"I've never had shoes that have fit as well as these or received as many compliments… I wish I had found them sooner!"
"There are no other shoes like Softstar - strong, comfortable, pretty - the best choice of minimal shoes one can get. Thank you for making our lives easier and wonderful!"
"I am loving these shoes! They are just lovely to have on the feet. And I am not easily impressed... There's nothing on the market that I know of that allows full toe splay! To me, it's a beautiful thing to let the toes move with absolute freedom in the shoe. I cannot do that with ANY OTHER of the barefoot shoes."
"I spent SO MANY years searching for a shoe to fit my feet. At last, you have given me such a shoe! I am convinced that had I met this shoe 30 years ago, I would not have the deformed feet I have now, nor would I have had surgery done on one of them. Abundant thanks for this design that honors my feet."
"These shoes are absolute perfection… The toe box finally allows my pinky toe and big toe to splay naturally and has taken away all previous foot pain… My feet will accept nothing less now."
"Finally something I will wear to work that is truly foot shaped… I usually take my shoes off as soon as I arrive home. I was so comfortable in these that I didn't think about it, and I left them on for hours into the evening."
"These are fantastic. Softstar showed themselves as the best minimal shoe company on the market with these. Functionally, they are the best fitting shoes I own, and they are the most stylish."
"Blown away. These should be the standard. I work at a physio clinic and see multiple people come in with foot pain (bunions, flat feet, plantar fasciitis) and it's mostly because of the effects of improper footwear over time... These shoes are the perfect solution."
"These are the best shoes I've ever owned. FINALLY A TOE BOX SHAPED LIKE A HEALTHY FOOT… I can wear my toe separators in these without any squishing or pressure against the sides of the shoe. Finally, finally, finally... someone prioritized function over form in creating a shoe that feels great to wear."
