Ursus CLTG2 Black Barefoot Shoes | Bearfoot

Build your training on a stable, close-to-ground foundation with the Bearfoot Ursus CLTG2 Black Barefoot Shoes. Designed for serious strength training without sacrificing everyday versatility, the CLTG2 combines an extra-wide toe box, zero-drop geometry, minimal cushioning, and flexible construction in a breathable canvas low-top.

Whether you're powerlifting, training strongman, tackling CrossFit-style workouts, or lifting in the gym, the Ursus CLTG2 keeps your feet close to the floor with an 8mm stack height while giving your toes generous room to spread. The flat platform avoids the elevated heel and thick, compressible cushioning found in many conventional athletic shoes, creating a direct connection to the training surface.

Gen 2 strengthens the Ursus platform with a more robust rubber outsole, raised perimeter wall, and stitch-down construction for improved durability over the original cemented Gen 1 design. Finished in classic Black, it's a versatile minimalist training shoe built to handle demanding workouts and transition seamlessly into everyday wear.

Built for Strength Training & Everyday Wear

The Ursus CLTG2 is designed for athletes who want a minimalist shoe capable of handling much more than a single type of workout.

Its flat, zero-drop platform provides a stable foundation for squats, deadlifts, presses, carries, and other strength movements where excessive cushioning can create unwanted movement beneath the foot.

Minimal cushioning keeps you connected to the training surface, while the flexible outsole allows your foot to bend and move without the rigidity of heavily structured athletic footwear.

Once your workout is finished, the breathable canvas upper and timeless black low-top silhouette make the CLTG2 easy to wear throughout the rest of your day.

Wide Toe Box & Gen 2 Durability

Instead of forcing the forefoot into a narrow, tapered shape, the Ursus CLTG2 uses Bearfoot's EEE-width platform with generous room through the toe box.

This wider geometry provides space for your toes to spread naturally inside the shoe, while the zero-drop platform keeps the heel and forefoot level.

For Gen 2, Bearfoot upgraded the Ursus with a slightly thicker and more robust outsole featuring a raised perimeter wall. This construction increases durability while helping reduce slipping during dynamic movements.

Bearfoot also replaced the cemented sole construction of Gen 1 with stitch-down construction, creating a stronger mechanical connection between the upper and outsole for improved longevity.

Recommended Uses

The Bearfoot Ursus CLTG2 is designed for versatile strength training and everyday use, including:

• Powerlifting
• Squats and deadlifts
• Strongman training
• General strength training
• Functional fitness
• Cross-training
• CrossFit-style workouts

Its flat, minimally cushioned platform is particularly well suited to activities where a stable connection with the floor and direct ground feedback are preferred over an elevated heel or heavily cushioned athletic shoe.

Fit & Sizing

The Ursus CLTG2 uses an EEE-width platform with a spacious 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 enough room for your toes to spread comfortably without creating excessive unwanted 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 so your feet and lower legs can adapt to the reduced cushioning and different footwear geometry.

Care

The Ursus CLTG2 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 when drying.
• Follow Bearfoot's current manufacturer guidance when choosing cleaning and protective products.
