Minimal! Hurray! for my opinion

I prefer a shoe that allows my foot to work rather than be in a cast. This allows my foot muscles to do what they should do and minimizes fatigue as I work all day on my feet. The sole does not get in the way and there is none of the arch support nonsense that is crippling so many people. The uppers are a bit stiff but I can deal with that. They wash up great in the washer, and did well in the dryer also. I got two more pairs in other colors after wearing these for work a few times.

Pros
  • I liked the way the shoe fit, except it needs a tad more arch support
Cons
  • Limited color selection

Not as Wide as Expected

These are ok, however they are not as wide as the same style shoe from the same seller but in white. I order these yellow ones in size 38 for my daughter and ordered a size 37 for myself. Her yellow ones were delivered first and she wore them right away. When my white pair arrived they were obviously wider, which is more of the fit I wanted for my daughter since she has a larger, wider foot and really needs a true barefoot style shoe. Since she wore them already I couldn’t return them. I would…

Pros
  • Helps prevent foot problems caused by traditional shoes
Cons
  • Not suitable for individuals with knee problems

Not a true barefoot shoe, but….

They’re not bad for the price. I was looking to replace an old pair of barefoot style shoes and decided to try this brand first before I go off an pay $100+ for another pair. They are very comfortable and good if you’re wanting to start making the transition to a true barefoot shoe. I ended up removing the insole so I could make as much contact with the ground as possible in them. I planned on using these as gym shoes for now, but I do think I’ll be buying a pair of true barefoot shoes…

Pros
  • Promotes better body alignment
Cons
  • Inadequate mold and support to the sole of the foot

nice barefoot shoe best in my review

They are very comforting after all day in your work shoes. If I wear them for along time though, I feel like I need to put in light arch support. I am not flat footed and I don't use a lot of arch support but they are designed to be like you are barefoot. Your toes are very happy with room to relax!

Pros
  • Athletic
Cons
  • Not versatile enough for all types of activities

I rarely write reviews, but these deserve one.

I've had two fairly serious foot injuries in the last 18 months, die to the fact that I NEVER wear shoes. These feel like slippers, they let my foot move freely so it doesn't aggravate the injuries. I'm on my feet for work and sometimes warehouse type work so closed toe shoes are necessary. I hate closed toed shoes, but these are the best I've found. I've been home from work for over an hour and still have my shoes on. That is unheard of.

Pros
  • Enhances balance and coordination
Cons
  • Easily worn out after a few months of use

Great minimalist shoe

I bought this shoe to begin transitioning to minimalist/ barefoot shoes. They are working out really well! They are comfy with just a little cushion, but still flexible and I can feel the ground with my feet. They are zero drop and have a nice wide toe bed.

Pros
  • Great for people who are on their feet all day
Cons
  • Not suitable for individuals with wide feet

Great barefoot sneakers **Edited** Please read to the end

I purchased these in 8.5 white, and I am very happy. I usually fit in size 8 or 8.5, but, since I was buying these mostly for comfort, I went with the larger size. They are comfortable from the very first wear (which, in my case, was sockless, though they are extremely comfortable with socks, as well). The soles are very low profile, flexible, and grippy. This was important to me: I have rheumatoid arthritis -- including inflammation and reduced movement in my ankles -- so I tend to trip if I…

Pros
  • Walking
Cons
  • Slippery sole when walking on wet or slick surfaces

First time user good for me

Ended up returning these. First time trying these flat type shoe. I tried them for work, usually standing 10-13hrs daily. My feet hurt after. Also tried them for general walking 3-4miles and for light jogging around 1 mile. Didn’t work for that either, feet still hurt after and increased my knee pain.They were super cozy at first and pretty wide at the toe part which was something new. Just didn’t work for me.

Pros
  • Wide, comfortable fit and soft canvas upper Loafers for wear all day long.
Cons
  • Causes discomfort along the toes

UPDATE: Beware, there is no consistency in the sizing of these shoes! I was so excited to buy another pair in a different color, after enjoying my yellow pair for a few months. But the white ones arrived and felt like a completely different shoe. They were a horrible fit. Too small. My foot was touching the end and falling over the side. And the gum rubber was crazy noisy when i walked. The tongue seam was clearly sewed on different. My feet were so uncomfortable. I wore them for less than five

Pros
  • Doesn't restrict foot movement
Cons
  • Too expensive compared to the quality of design

most comfortable shoe I've ever worn

I sometimes forget I'm wearing shoes at all. super lightweight and they seem really sturdy for how little shoe there is. absolutely beautiful

Pros
  • Perfect for transitioning from traditional shoes to barefoot
Cons
  • Not comfortable when worn for extended periods of time

My CrossFit show replacement

Very wide toe box which is what I was looking for. Comfy and flexible with still enough cushion and rigidity for squatting and box jumps. I've been searching for a CrossFit shoe replacement for my Nike metcons which just feel too clunky without being barefoot minimalistic. Looking forward to trying to do this out.

Pros
  • Prevents injuries by providing a better feel of the ground
Cons
  • Poor design for individuals with high arches

Well, not the best looking shoe

I have to say, they are comfortable, but I also have to agree with another review-- that they look like clown shoes! They have an odd design and I feel like I am walking with Kleenex boxes on my feet.Update: I have worn them for a day, and I must say, more comfortable that I initially thought. They are just not pleasant looking.

Pros
  • Provides a great alternative to traditional shoes
Cons
  • Causes discomfort on the heel

Order a size up?: my feedback

I love the look of the sneaker. I have neuropathy in my feet so I opted for a soft shoe with a round toe.It comes in mens sizes. I was careful to convert the size to a womans 8. I had to remove the cushion inside so it would fit. My toes are right at the tip. I'm guessing a size bigger would suffice, but I was also concerned about them looking like clown shoes if they were too big. A little dissapointed. It's hard to wear socks with them. I resorted to wearing a ped.

Pros
  • March 29, 2021
Cons
  • Takes weeks to fully adjust to the minimalist design

So comfortable best in my review

Just a tad big I normally wear 9W and with thin sock they are a bit big with thicker socks on they are good.I have been wearing really cheap flat shoes and was thinking this was not for me but these are a game changer, very nice pair of shoes for everyday, work or church fit all occasions.

Pros
  • Rubber sole
Cons
  • Not enough flexibility in the shoe

Amazing just amazing

I have seen the benefits of a natural toe box and wanted to give it's try but not spend a ton or have weird looking shoes. These have become my go to shoes. Everyday all day. I'm on my feet teaching and these hold up and my toes aren't squish! I didn't even realize how much my other shoes squished my feet until I went to wear them after getting these. My other shoes are going away and I'm looking at investing more money in other natural toe box shoes

Pros
  • Can improve athletic performance
Cons
  • Not recommended for individuals with Achilles tendonitis

Super comfy: my feedback

This shoe is extremely comfortable great for a large toebox and zero drop, but is not the cutest shoe!Comfort first I guess! I’ve worn them for four hours walking around Gatlinburg, and had no foot pain… I ruptured my Achilles one year ago!

Pros
  • Wide toe box improves comfort and balance
Cons
  • Not recommended for individuals with high or low arches

I have a wide toe-bed and a very high and wide instep - difficult to find comfortable shoes that fit: these do! Well-made and super easy to wear. Look good and are fun.

Pros
  • Versatile shoes that can be worn with multiple outfits
Cons
  • No added cushioning on the shoe

Good fit for problematical feet

I was interrupted as I was trying a shoe on my left foot, the one with a bunion and overlapping toe. If a shoe fit despite those problems, I didn't have to worry about the right foot. But then I got up suddenly, and soon forgot I had the minimalist sneaker on one foot and an Uggs moccasin on the other. I was walking around the kitchen and bedroom before I happened to look down and notice that the running shoe felt as comfortable as an old moccasin! I add my own arch support to most shoes, as I…

Pros
  • 5.91 x 1.97 x 1.18 inches; 8.82 Ounces
Cons
  • Foot odor is easily detected due to lack of ventilation on the shoe

I was skeptical good for me

Walking barefoot isn't always comfortable for me, because as I've aged, I've lost some of the natural padding in the soles of my feet. So I was dubious about a shoe that claims to mimic being barefoot. And since I have moderate bunions, I have learned not to believe hype about shoes that are comfortable even with bunions.I have never been so happy to be so wrong! The toe box really does follow the natural shape of my splayed toes. The shoes really do feel like walking barefoot but have just…

Pros
  • Rounded toe design and flex & fold with a versatile structure, providing complete movability of the foot.
Cons
  • Lacking style and uniqueness compared to other barefoot shoe designs

Comfortable Wide shoe

The shoes are every bit as cute as pictured, and the shoes run true to size without being too wide! They arrived at my northern Michigan address this week, and I have not had a chance to wear them yet as we still have snow! Can't wait to try them out!

Pros
  • Conforms to the shape of your feet for a better fit
Cons
  • Exterior material scratches too easily
