Review on TSLA Lightweight Athletic Barefoot Minimalist Men's Shoes for Athletic by Adam Gardner

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Be careful with the size and narrow the little finger

I have 10 US, 43 eu, pretty much every brand I've tried and swim in these "10 sizes". Now the language says US 10 eu 44! so one is wrong. This wouldn't be a huge problem, except that the position/size of the rubber sock cup is such that when I lift my thumb, it catches on the cup for a moment. .which is particularly annoying because I like to wiggle my toes. I can't go back because I tore my tongue out almost immediately because the upper was anything but seamless. Also, I wouldn't want the width to go down because there's definitely Merrell-style arch support there. I'm optimistic for a test run, but if I feel even a "big toe hook," they need to be turned into sandals. Eventually I started converting them to sandals and when I removed the top I saw that the toe box wasn't wide enough and was pinching my pinky toe a bit. I think my forefoot width is very average so I downgraded my rating from 3 to 1 star.
