Review on πŸ‘£ Women's ALEADER Minimalist Barefoot Running Shoes with Fingers by Matthew Nielsen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not what I was hoping for, but probably more than I expected.

Nice shoe, but if you're trying to replace your favorite barefoot running shoe that starts with a V, this isn't it. I can walk in it with little pain; However, they are almost twice the weight of the shoes mentioned above. They have plenty of toe room, which is good on one level but doesn't offer the same compression in the right places as on another. For me it ended in severe pain and the need to treat cuboid syndrome. I like the look of the shoes; it's more like shoes. I will keep them as everyday athletic shoes but I wouldn't dare run in them again because the pain they caused takes weeks to heal. *Be aware that my feet are used to the other shoes mentioned; If you're interested in a barefoot runner but don't want to shell out for its insane price, I think these are a good entry-level shoe if you're not used to anything else, maybe even your shoe for life.
