Ursus CLTG2 Arctic White Shoes | Bearfoot

Get the stable ground connection you want for serious strength training without giving up the comfort and versatility of an everyday sneaker. The Bearfoot Ursus CLTG2 Arctic White combines an extra-wide toe box, zero-drop platform, minimal cushioning, and flexible construction with a lightweight canvas low-top design built to move easily from the weight room to daily wear.

Designed for powerlifting, strongman, functional fitness, CrossFit-style training, and general strength work, 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 eliminates the elevated heel and thick, compressible foam found in many conventional athletic shoes, creating a direct and stable foundation under load.

Gen 2 also strengthens one of the most important parts of the Ursus platform: durability. Bearfoot upgraded the shoe with a more robust rubber outsole, raised perimeter wall, and stitch-down construction for greater longevity while maintaining the flexibility and ground feedback expected from minimalist footwear.

Finished in Arctic White, the CLTG2 pairs performance-focused barefoot geometry with a clean low-top silhouette that works just as naturally outside the gym.

Built for Heavy Lifting & Everyday Versatility

The Ursus CLTG2 is designed for athletes who want one minimalist shoe capable of handling both training and everyday life.

Its flat, zero-drop foundation provides a stable platform for exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, carries, and other strength movements where excessive cushioning can interfere with direct ground feedback.

Minimal cushioning further reduces the amount of compressible material between your feet and the floor, while the flexible outsole allows the shoe to move more naturally with your foot.

Once your workout is over, the classic canvas low-top design makes the CLTG2 easy to transition into everyday casual wear.

Wide Toe Box & Gen 2 Durability

The CLTG2 uses Bearfoot's EEE-width platform, providing considerably more room through the forefoot than a conventionally tapered athletic shoe.

That additional space gives your toes room to spread naturally inside the shoe instead of being compressed together. Combined with the zero-drop geometry and thin outsole, the design emphasizes natural foot positioning and close-to-ground feedback.

For Gen 2, Bearfoot uses a slightly thicker and more robust outsole with a raised perimeter wall. The updated design increases protection around the shoe and is intended to improve durability while helping reduce slipping during dynamic movements.

Bearfoot also replaced the cemented sole construction used on Gen 1 with stitch-down construction, mechanically joining the upper and outsole for increased longevity.

• 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 natural foot movement 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 choosing your size.

Proper barefoot-shoe fit should provide adequate space for your toes without excessive movement elsewhere in the shoe.

If you're transitioning from conventional footwear to zero-drop minimalist shoes for the first time, gradually increase wear time to allow your feet and lower legs to 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 cleaning 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 instructions when selecting cleaning and protective products.
