That's what everyone else says, it's a Merrel steam glove clone that's a little tougher. Sandals are really hard to evaluate because they do literally nothing for your foot other than protect it from the occasional shard of glass and nasty tree branches that would likely ruin your real bare foot. that the laces are quite long, so in combination with the wide toe, this will definitely create a clown shoe effect. And if you go barefoot, it's going to be quite frustrating as the laces bounce up and down and bang against your ankle. I would recommend buying other short laces or tucking them in. UPDATE: ATTENTION FOR ANOTHER MODEL OF THESE SHOES! I'm deducting a few stars because of a caveat. There are several color options here, which are actually intended for an older shoe model. You can tell it's an old model because the inside of the shoe says 'Tesla' not 'TSLA'. This "Tesla" shoe has a much narrower toe box, a much stiffer sole with much less flexibility, and is generally a bad time to wear. Don't buy things that sound like variants of an existing color, such as B. "Dark Brown" or "Green Tone".
