Ursus CLTG1 Black Barefoot Shoes | Bearfoot

Build your lifts on a flatter, more connected foundation with the Bearfoot Ursus CLTG1 Black Barefoot Shoes. Designed for strength athletes who want minimal material between their feet and the floor, the CLTG1 combines an extra-wide toe box, zero-drop platform, thin flexible outsole, and lightweight canvas construction in a versatile low-top training shoe.

Whether you're powerlifting, training strongman, tackling CrossFit-style workouts, or working through a general strength session, the Ursus CLTG1 keeps your feet close to the training surface with a thin 7mm stack height. Its flat platform avoids the elevated heel and thick, compressible cushioning found in many conventional athletic shoes, creating a stable base with direct ground feedback.

At just 8 oz in size 10, the CLTG1 keeps unnecessary bulk to a minimum. Its breathable cotton-canvas upper and classic Black low-top styling also make it easy to transition from demanding workouts to everyday casual wear.

Built for Strength Training & Ground Connection

The Ursus CLTG1 is designed around the demands of athletes who prefer a flatter, minimally cushioned training platform.

Its zero-drop geometry keeps the heel and forefoot at the same level, while the thin outsole maintains a close connection with the floor during squats, deadlifts, carries, presses, and other loaded movements.

Minimal cushioning reduces the soft material beneath your feet, providing greater sensory feedback from the training surface. Flexible construction allows the shoe to bend and move with your foot instead of locking it into a heavily structured platform.

The result is a simple, lightweight training shoe that can handle serious strength work without becoming a specialized piece of footwear you only wear for one lift.

Wide Toe Box & Lightweight Canvas Construction

Instead of squeezing the forefoot into a narrow, tapered shape, the Ursus CLTG1 uses Bearfoot's EEE-width platform.

The extra-wide toe box gives your toes generous room to spread naturally inside the shoe, while the flexible construction allows your foot to move with less restriction.

A lightweight cotton-canvas upper promotes breathability during training and helps keep the overall shoe weight down. Combined with the low-top profile and understated Black finish, the CLTG1 works equally well as a minimalist everyday sneaker once your workout is finished.

Its thin, flat, minimally cushioned platform is particularly well suited to training where direct ground feedback and a stable base are preferred over an elevated heel or thick, compressible cushioning.

Fit & Sizing

The Ursus CLTG1 uses an EEE-width platform with an extra-wide toe box designed to provide generous room through the forefoot.

Because minimalist footwear can fit differently from conventional athletic shoes, measure both feet and consult Bearfoot's current sizing guidance before selecting your size.

Proper fit should provide adequate room for your toes to spread comfortably without creating excessive movement elsewhere inside the shoe.

If you're transitioning from conventional footwear to zero-drop minimalist shoes for the first time, gradually increase your wear time to allow your feet and lower legs to adapt to the reduced cushioning and different footwear geometry.

Care

The Ursus CLTG1 features a cotton-canvas upper and suede leather insole. Proper cleaning and maintenance can help preserve the appearance and condition of both materials.

For routine care:

• Remove loose dirt and debris before deeper cleaning.
• Use footwear-cleaning products appropriate for cotton canvas.
• Use suede-appropriate products and brushes on suede components.
• Avoid unnecessary saturation during cleaning.
• Allow footwear to air dry naturally.
• Avoid direct high heat while drying.
• Follow Bearfoot's current manufacturer instructions when selecting cleaning and protective products.
