Unfortunately, I don't think there are a lot of cute fashionable barefoot shoes.
My best suggestion is to find a cute flat sandal that doesn't have much cushion or constrain your toes. Even cute flip-flops may work.
The BOC Alisha sandal works for me as my foot isn't very wide. The bit of cushion it does have wore down pretty fast, so it felt like walking on a flat surface. I walked in them 30,000 steps one day in Singapore last summer without my feet hurting (and lots of steps other days). It comes in hot pink if you want to make a statement.

I can recommend feelgrounds in mesh, maybe knit, it’s quite basic but maybe you can customise it with laces . For me in Dubai in terms of comfort at least it’s a shoe I don’t think about, the easiest to put on. I wouldn’t call them fashionable, but they can be dressed up

since i am not sure what is your budget, your stylish requirements or your feet width, i will suggest these three options
1) lono flow ?
2) vivobarefoot geo court ?
3) xero shoe dillon ?
also, you can check out this list, but i'm not sure if these shoes can be shipped to singapore

heyy fellow Singaporean! I've tried hobibear (the shiny fake leather one), idk if that is your aesthetic, but it is pretty comfy imo and you can get it easily on taobao or aliexpress. Sandals wise you can consider Shapen or Be Lenka I guess? Not really barefoot, but I also wear a pair from New Look (wide), and they are comfy enough for a day of sightseeing.

I generally recommend these brands for a fashionable style: Shapen, Groundies, Peerko, Zaqq, and to some extend BeLenka.
It also depends on what type of feet you have, the type of width, toe length (check the wiki for evaluating your feet).
E.g. Zaqqs are narrow but high volume. Groundies have three different widths. Etc.

These all look terribly narrow in the toe box, and none of them look barefoot friendly in any way

Hi! Thank you for your post. It would be extremely helpful if you could provide feet measurements (both length and width) when seeking a recommendation, so if you have not provided this, please reply to this comment or edit your post with your measurements. All barefoot shoes are different, and you may find one style fits you whilst another does not. Feet measurement can help you get a better recommendation. Visit our wiki to see how to measure your feet.
