Where the directory is heading

Everything I plan to add to The Barefoot Directory, in the open. Upvote the things you want most and I will build those first.

Building now

Next season's shoes before they launch: Brands upload their upcoming models and lookbooks ahead of each season, so you can see what is coming, plan your next pair and get a heads up on release dates. Brands already on the site can send me their catalogues today, and a proper upload space for them is next.
Brands can claim and update their page: Makers and shops can claim their page for free, keep their details right and add their codes and events. Clearly labelled featured spots help pay for the site without changing the honest notes.

More brands at barefoot events worldwide: Try-on days, pop-ups, expos and meet-ups everywhere, not just the big European shows. Brands can say which events they will bring shoes to, organisers can list their events for free, and you can see what is on near you.
Community forums: A friendly place to ask fit questions, share your transition story, swap tips on kids' shoes, running and hiking, and get answers from people who have been there. Moderated and family friendly.
Live chat with other barefooters: Quick chat rooms by country and topic, so you can find people near you, arrange meet-ups and get a fast answer when you are stood in a shop wondering about a size.
Your own fit notes on every shoe: Members rate how a shoe fits (length, width, toe box and instep) and say what size they took, so everyone gets real sizing advice from feet like theirs.
Size finder across every brand: Measure your foot once and see which size to order in each brand, worked out from the makers' own size charts.
Price drop and restock alerts: Save a shoe and get an email when it goes on sale or your size comes back in stock.
Where to try shoes on in person: A map of physical shops and stockists, with which brands each one carries, so you can try before you buy.

Pre-loved barefoot shoes: Buy, sell and pass on outgrown kids' shoes and pairs that did not quite fit, so good shoes keep walking.
The site in more languages: German, Czech, Polish, Spanish, French and more, as so many of the best barefoot brands and readers are across Europe.

Fit quiz and brand fit research: Tell me your toe shape, width and instep and get shoes from makers whose shape suits your feet, with how each brand fits and where that came from.
Live prices, sales and codes in your currency: Every brand's range synced from their own website through the day, with sales and discount codes checked hourly.
Barefoot Dan's Weekly Dispatch: New releases, sales and codes in your inbox every Friday.
Community directory: Podiatrists, clinics, coaches, workshops and events from around the world, free to list.
