The Bosky brand needs no introduction within the barefoot community. Handcrafted in the Czech Republic, Bosky sandals are known for their functionality, premium quality, and thoughtful design.
We’re often contacted by customers who aren’t sure which model to choose – whether it’s based on strap style, fastening method, or sole thickness.
That’s why we’ve put together this simple guide to help you navigate the Bosky lineup and find the perfect pair – for city life, nature walks, or everyday wear.
Bosky Barefoot Strap Styles: X, Y or Z?
🔹 X-strap – the classic comfort of barefoot sandals
The X strap is a more classic design that doesn’t run between the toes – ideal for anyone who finds toe loops uncomfortable.
The straps are wider, comfortable, and wrap securely around the foot and ankle.
The fastening uses traditional Velcro, allowing for a quick, firm, and adjustable fit.
This model combines the comfort of trekking sandals with the lightness and natural feel of barefoot footwear.
❯❯❯ If you don’t like straps between the toes, the X strap is your go-to option.

🔹 Y-strap – the closest feel to walking barefoot
The Y strap runs between the big toe and the second toe, offering the most minimal style that gives your foot maximum freedom and natural movement.
You can choose between quick-lacing (Y-tech) or manual adjustment with buckles, depending on whether you prefer speed or precise customization.
❯❯❯ Great for daily wear, city walks, or summer trips – when you want sandals that stay out of the way.

🔹 Z-strap – comfort without a toe loop
The Z strap (Z-tech) is the perfect solution for those who want the secure feel of the Y-strap, but without anything between the toes.
It’s based on the same strap threading system as Y-tech, but goes across the instep instead.
It fits securely, adjusts quickly, and works well with a variety of foot shapes.
The fastening uses a quick-lacing system (toggle + cord).
❯❯❯ Ideal for those who prefer fast, simple, and stable barefoot sandals – with no toe loop.
