The Poppyseed is our answer to heavy, restrictive footwear that slows you down. Engineered with Free to Be technology, this slip-on shoe weighs approximately 50% less than conventional sneakers, so every step feels effortless.

Whether you’re running errands, traveling, or spending long hours on your feet, the Poppyseed delivers cloud-like comfort that lasts all day. The streamlined silhouette pairs beautifully with leggings, jeans, or casual skirts.
What makes the Poppyseed so comfortable
Free to Be Technology & Lightweight Construction
The Poppyseed achieves its remarkable 50% weight reduction through our proprietary Free to Be engineering. We eliminated unnecessary bulk by integrating air-infused materials throughout the sole unit while maintaining structural integrity.
Every component serves a purpose. The Cloud Technology outsole uses micro-air pockets to deliver cushioning without added weight. The upper’s stretch knit construction flexes with your foot instead of fighting against it, reducing material mass while improving comfort.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
The Poppyseed runs true to size for most wearers. We recommend ordering your standard U.S. women’s shoe size for the best fit.
The stretch knit upper accommodates a range of foot widths, from narrow to wide, without feeling restrictive. If you’re between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up half a size. The Dynamic Flex zones at the forefoot and midfoot expand to conform to your unique foot shape.
Care & Cleaning Instructions
Machine Washing Made Simple
The Poppyseed’s washable construction simplifies shoe care. Remove the insoles, place shoes in a mesh laundry bag, and machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
Air dry completely before wearing – avoid direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, which can damage the air-infused sole components. Most dirt and odor wash away completely, restoring the fresh appearance and feel.

A typical size 8 Poppyseed weighs around 4-5 ounces per shoe, compared to 8-10 ounces for conventional sneakers. You’ll notice the difference immediately – customers describe the feeling as walking on air or barely wearing shoes at all.
Yes, the Poppyseed is fully machine washable. Remove the insoles, place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag, and wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
Air dry completely away from direct heat – don’t put them in the dryer as high temperatures can compromise the air-infused sole technology. Most customers wash their Poppyseed shoes every 2-4 weeks to keep them looking and smelling fresh. The materials are designed to withstand repeated washing without losing shape or comfort properties.
The Poppyseed includes a cushioned insole with moderate arch support suitable for most foot types. The removable insole design allows you to replace it with custom orthotics if you need specialized support.
Many customers with plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or high arches wear the Poppyseed successfully, either with the included insole or their own prescription orthotics. The Cloud Technology outsole provides excellent shock absorption that reduces stress on arches and joints throughout the day.
The Poppyseed runs true to size, but the stretch knit upper accommodates a range of foot widths. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a roomier fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks or have wider feet.
The stretch construction provides some forgiveness, so a half-size variance typically won’t cause fit issues. If you have narrow feet and prefer a snugger fit, stick with your standard size. The slip-on design with elastic collar holds the shoe securely without pressure points regardless of minor size variations.

With proper care, most customers get 6-12 months of regular wear from their Poppyseed shoes, depending on usage frequency and terrain. The durable stretch knit upper resists tearing and maintains its shape through repeated washings.
The Cloud Technology outsole provides excellent tread life for casual walking on varied surfaces. Rotating between two pairs extends the lifespan of each, as it allows materials to fully decompress between wears. Machine washing as needed helps maintain the fresh appearance and hygiene without degrading the materials.
Yes, many customers wear the Poppyseed barefoot thanks to the antimicrobial insole that helps control odor. The soft stretch knit lining is comfortable against bare skin and doesn’t cause chafing.
The breathable upper and moisture-wicking properties keep feet relatively dry during sockless wear. If you prefer socks, the roomy toe box accommodates thin to medium-weight socks without feeling tight. No-show socks work particularly well with the Poppyseed’s low-profile design.
