After reading many reviews, i ordered "True to size", but it was 1/2 size too small. Got rapid refund of this order & simultaneously placed order for NEW pair that was 1/2-size bigger than my actual foot size. Fits PERFECTLY!
Have only been wearing these approx. 1-month (and not continuous wear, as it's been occasionally freezing & wet in NYC this winter, and these are mesh sneaker!) No insulation or foot warmth - but I bought these shoes for flexibility, NOT foot warmth! I have leather shoes for that. Unsure how long they'll wear ... will try to remember to report back in a few months!
PROS:
- V. flexible (forward/backward, twist!) & v. light, which is what i was looking for! Much more work felt by muscles of my feet, esp. inner-arch, which was exactly my goal.
- Shoe sole & cut is designed to shape the inner-arch area, but there is MINIMAL support (forces inner arch muscles to actively work, rather than passively resting on shoe-supplied arch-support!)
- Super-comfy from the moment i put these shoes on ... which is how i evaluate shoes, now. NO "wearing-in" period!
- Roomy toe-box, but not too roomy ... I usually wear New Balance & Saucony sneakers (wide fore-foot, narrow ankles/heels). This shoe's toe-box allows full movement of individual toes, but mesh-uppers keep shoes securely snug to foot, without excess toe-space.
- Individual toes NOT separated (i prefer this), only LOOKS like individual toes.
- Included elastic "speed laces" (no tying shoelaces needed) with ** extra VELCRO DETAIL ** (prevents long-end from flopping around during run/walk)
- Strong & secure back-of-heel Pull-on Tab (sewn-in all-along back of heel & under rubber sole ... avoid tab pull/break-off (EXCEPTION: "Black Stripe model" has only little pull-tab)
- Good, grippy soles (non-slip on wet surfaces)
- Also, GREAT price & v. fast delivery!
CONS:
- A little bit of fraying on edge-of-tongue of one shoe (may not last more than 3-6 mos, which is OK).
- Possibly Interrupted Supply: Once you find the size that works well for you, perhaps order a couple back-up pairs. When Trump requested additional shipping tariffs on goods from China, these products went out-of-stock for a few wks.
- City streets: Made to run/walk on DIRT TRAILS, so City-streets/sidewalks & subway-platforms can be a "sensory-challenge" ("Oh my gosh, with these shoes i feel EVERYTHING on the ground"). I generally walk 5-7 mi/day (sometimes up to 10 mi), so the balls of my feet feel tired/achy after 4-5 mi (due to less padding than most sneakers). I try to remember to bring an extra pair of more cushioned shoes, on those long-mileage days, to save the balls of my feet!
FINAL TIPS:
- FYI: Buy 1/2-size larger than true shoe size.
- If currently wearing very supportive sneakers, gradually phase-in "wear time" of these shoes (same as all minimalist shoes). Start with 30-60 min for 1-2x per day for a few days. Alternate with wearing other flexible sneaker that's a bit LESS flexible than this shoe (e.g. Nike "Free", Puma "Ignite Netfit", Adidas "Boost", etc.) AND do Heel Raise-and-Hold for 10-count (standing on balls of your feet) with toes pointed \ /, | |, / \. Strengthens inner-arch & calf muscles, so they'll be strong-enough to support foot in minimalist shoe.
If feet fine after 2-3 days, try doubling time, 2-4x per day, for several days. Do another foot check-in ... if feet still fine, should be OK to wear all-day.
They look good，wear size 7 Women in U.S.A and bought size 7 ,it fit perfectly . I use it for running.They are super comfortable.
True to size and fits like a glove - they look great and materials are quality. Nothing negative to mention. Just took a train half-way across the country and I choose these to wear onboard, -- and they were a great choice. Just ordered a second pair.
I usually go barefoot around the house as it is more gentle on my joints and spine than wearing any type of heel. These shoes are the next best thing. Wearing them is as comfortable as being barefoot, but with a whole lot more traction and protection from the elements. I purchased two pair and will likely purchase additional pairs in the future. I believe they will be perfect for walking on the treadmill also.
No complaints on first impression. The insert is nicely padded, more than I expected based on the reviews. Sole is hardened rubber. I've been researching barefoot running and minimalist shoes for a while. This is a cheap entry point and appears to be made quite well. I wouldn't advise running on large loose rocks and stones but that has little to do with these shoes. If I stepped on a good size rock in my $120 runners it hurts... I would advise starting slow. If you're used to running with hard impact on your heels (you're doing it wrong) you'll want to adjust your posture and keep the weight on your calfs. It will hurt for a few days but it's better on your back and hips. Running a Spartan in a few weeks. Can't wait to get these dirty. 🤘

These shoes are what I was looking for. Plenty of room for my toes to spread out, no heel and my feet can feel everything I’m walking on but the sole protects against sharp rocks, etc.. a minimalist shoe for sure. Great for the price. My size wasn’t available because they only have half sizes so I went up a half. They are slightly too big but again, for the price the are keepers.
One bungee broke right away, but they are still useable. They are comfy and flexible. My first barefoot shoes so I have no idea of they fit properly or not, is there supposed to be wiggle room like normal shoes or should my toes be touching the ends? ETA ordered a second pair for my 10 year old they are the pink stripey ones and don't have the adjuster. They are super cute, I just don't like bright shoes for myself. She loves them and is super comfy.
These shoes are better than I expected them to be. I like the fit, and they offer a true "barefoot" experience. Yes, I feel the ground through them, but that is exactly what I expected! I have owned quite a few zero-drop and barefoot shoes, and these are at least as good as some of the expensive ones I have owned. I'm not sure how long they will hold up, but for the price, I will happily replace them with another pair of these!
As with all of my shoes, I immediately removed the insole. At first I thought this might make the shoes too roomy, but it was just right. They are very wide in the toes and super flexible. I have work them on a couple of short runs and they seem great so far. I don't expect them to hold up to a lot of hard miles, but they're cheap enough to buy again.
The product is cool and very comfortable. this is the simply the best pair of barefoot shoe available. Great fit, awesome materials and wicked colors!I tested them by walking over rocks, they passed. Ran around the property, through thick dewy grass. Some how I didn't get caught in briers and stayed dry, awesome.
