BRIQ Black

Our BRIQ Black is our noble business shoe and the plainest of the range. It does without any decorative stitching or broguing, which makes it absolutely timeless. Nevertheless, it is still as elegant.

We used a classic derby shoe as a model for our BRIQs. We took the main elements from the original and manufactured them on our barefoot lasts. The result is the shell of a noble business shoe with the filling of a comfortable barefoot shoe.

The sole is absolutely unique in the world of barefoot shoes. As with all our ZAQQs, it has no heel and is absolutely flexible. However, a sole with a heel looks just that little bit more elegant - and we wanted maximum elegance for our business shoes. After a lot of pondering and fiddling, we managed to create an optical illusion. We cut out a wedge-shaped part and thus conjured up a heel in the sole that doesn't actually exist.

Thanks to the timeless, simple design, you can combine our BRIQ Black with all outfits. It is your companion for the office and for all festive occasions.

Feel free, feel ZAQQ.

Great shoes. Great workmanship.

The shoes offer similar comfort to other barefoot shoes, but thanks to their elegant design they can also be worn with a suit without any problems.

Nice shoes

Since I only wear barefoot shoes, I've been looking for leather ones. These are comfortable to wear and look classic, so you can wear them with better clothes.

Very high satisfaction

Great product, well made. Very good customer service.
The shoe keeps all its promises and is very comfortable.

Good shoes, feel very comfortable, new running experience

The shoes look good and are very comfortable to wear. A - of course - different running feeling, but pleasant. Possibly a little far out. Size 45 (44 is probably too tight)

ZAQQ BRIQ Black

Everything perfect, as always. The fit, weight and, above all, appearance are almost indistinguishable from “normal” dress shoes

Very happy with the product

Maximum comfort. Stylish. I had been trying for a long time to find shoes to wear with a suit or blazer. I am very happy with the product and will definitely buy more in the future. The perfect size. Using the size guide on the website, I chose the right size.

Excellent shoe

The BRIQ Black is the ideal shoe for me if I want freedom of movement for my foot, but at the same time I am looking for a shoe for official occasions. The quality of leather and workmanship is excellent and delivery was quick.

Very comfortable shoe

Looks good and is extremely light on the feet. For me, size 39 is almost a little big, but thicker socks can fit in if necessary.

Very high quality

They are really high-quality shoes that are also comfortable to wear. They fit in very well into everyday life and do not attract any special attention. Perfect if you're traveling for business but don't want to miss out on comfortable shoes

Good shoes

Good quality shoes with lovely soft leather. Look very formal, nobody has noticed that they are minimalist shoes. I bought them slightly too large, so they are a bit too long and have too much volume in the mid foot, but I just wear two pairs of socks which makes them nice and snug. Would recommend these shoes.

Best quality

Sufficient space, no pressure points, great workmanship. As a diabetic, I have been looking for a shoe like this for a long time because it is also available in large sizes.
Gladly again!

Unbelievable

Absolutely suit-suitable, elegant and extremely comfortable shoe.
The feeling is not like wearing socks like some other barefoot shoes. Nevertheless, my gait automatically switched to ball walking. Since the "thick sole" is only external cosmetics, you have enough space in the shoe to play with your toes without being noticeable from the outside.
My first, but definitely not my last, shoe from Zaqq.

Brilliant shoe

The shoe exceeded my expectations! It doesn't look like a barefoot shoe, it has this optical heel that isn't and it's super comfortable. Perfect for wearing with a suit without getting sore feet.

First impression: great!

The shoes arrived today. The size fits and is consistent with other minimalist shoe manufacturers. The build quality is excellent at first glance. The shoe is very flexible (both leather and sole) and light and looks great.
I have already tried many pairs from other manufacturers. I find my first pair of Zaqqs to be very convincing both visually and in terms of quality. I think it won't be my last pair.
