Hear From Exhibitors at the 2024 Expo in Chicago:

"It's hard to express just how incredible this event is. People who recognize the benefits of natural movement often do so because our products have changed their lives. This makes them as passionate about what we do as we are. When you bring all of that passion and energy into one space, it multiplies exponentially, with consumers and vendors feeding off each other. The end result is show that you just need to be a part of. Thank you Team Anya!"

Joe Burnham
Community Engagement Manager, Xero Shoes

"Anya's Barefoot Expo exceeded all expectations we had coming in and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The strong community feel was felt from the moment we arrived, and it was enthralling to emersed in a room full of so many people who care deeply about foot health and are seeking to spend their time in more functional, healthy footwear. We will 100% be back next year!"

Simon O'Brien
Medical Marketing Manager, Altra Running

"The Barefoot Shoe Expo is the best thing to ever hit the minimalist shoe industry! It is an amazing opportunity for brands to network with each other, all brought together with the common goal of bringing awareness to foot health. The Expo was a sold out event, and was an amazing opportunity to connect with our target audience and with current customers who wanted to connect with our company face to face."
