The Barefoot Planet Store Revival

Hi Barefooters! I’m very excited to announce that, after nearly 2 years in hiatus, I have revived the Barefoot Planet Store with the introduction of 3 new designs for my apparel collection.

These designs, as well as my older collections, are inspired by all barefooters and their share of experiences and interests I have encountered over the years.

Check out my online store at: barefootplanetstore.com

I hope you all enjoy the new designs, as well as the old favourites I have kept in stock. I’m aiming to add even more designs soon. Feedback and ideas are always welcome as well!

Keep ‘em bare, keep ‘em happy!
