TSLA Lightweight Athletic Barefoot Minimalist Men's Shoes for Athletic Review

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…

The size is a bit large, but otherwise everything is fine. Comfort is what you would expect from a minimalist shoe. However, after a few months, the sole began to separate from the upper in some places. The shoes are still functional but if that's less than a year away I'm not sure how long they will last overall. For the price I can't complain much but I'd rather pay more and get a shoe that lasts.

I started wearing sandals a little over a year ago and this is my fourth pair. This pair is very similar in look and feel to my Merrell Vapor gloves, but they are more comfortable straight out of the box due to the softer upper. The variety of colors is a delight. I chose brown and orange which pair well with denim and khaki work pants - I'm lucky to work in a tech company where everything is very casual. That being said, if there were more traditional color schemes or solid colors (I have a…

I've had these shoes for almost a year now and they are holding up great. I had a small area where the factory glue came off, all I did was apply some Gorilla Glue and it's perfect. I use these running shoes for both running and everyday wear. Will definitely buy another pair when they wear out. I am very happy with them. I was looking for a pair of casual shoes that didn't look like five toes. And that's exactly what I was looking for. They protect my feet from stones, sticks and sharp goat…

I have 12 in Merrell Vapor Gloves and most other shoes are 12.5 or 13. So I bought TSLA for 12 at first and ended up with 11! It's almost the same size as the Merrell 12 I have. I also have a Whittin that was a little shorter than a size 12 and I had to go down to a size 13 as there were no half sizes. The TSLA is much closer to the Vapor gloves in terms of feel and ride, with good midfoot support. The Whittin has less midfoot support and moves more on your foot. They also have a wider toe box.

After getting used to more expensive sports shoes, I was naturally skeptical. I'm really glad I gave them a chance. I wear them on the treadmill and other equipment at the gym. They are virtually weightless so traveling with them is very easy and after a very short period of getting used to the 'barefoot' experience they are really comfortable. point size. I recommend.

I've tried many sandals over the past few years and TSLA fit me perfectly. I prefer Vivoborefoots, but I'm a curmudgeon at heart and don't want to pay $160 for shoes. I first bought TSLA in January 2020 before moving to Europe. I've walked in them a lot. Good help getting up. I feel I have benefited a lot from them. Almost two years later I rubbed the heel of my left boot and created a hole in the top of my right boot where the sole meets the fabric. Overall, I feel like I got more than my…

My first minimalist shoe. Can't comment on durability as I've only ridden it 50 miles, if that. They appear to be decently made and look aesthetically pleasing, better than other similar shoes that I have ordered and will be returning. In normal shoes I usually feel pain in my right knee, right shinbone and some discomfort in my hips. By being careful I was able to avoid injury, but it always seems like I have to artificially influence the goal. I didn't have that kind of pain or any signs of…

I have had several pairs of Tesla and Merrell Vapor Gloves and for the money the Tesla is better. Take the Merrell name from a shoe and there isn't the slightest difference between these two shoes in terms of comfort, durability, fit, durability or mileage that you can get out of them. Bottom Line: If brand awareness is important to you, get the Merrell Vapor Glove. If price is important to you, go with Tesla. But if you think you're spending 2-3 times more on a well-known brand than a…

I love these shoes. I've ordered from this company for years and have ordered this particular shoe at least three times, but this time I had a problem. The photo shows that the label does not match the product in the box. I have ordered a size 10.5 (three times now) and have received a size 9 each time. So if someone could contact me and send the right product I would be very grateful. These are the only shoes my son will wear and they work wonders for balance and sensory input. They are also…

On the advice of other reviewers, I bought a half size smaller than my usual size. Mistake. Human feet are not half that size! My feet must be on top of those who can wear 9.5s well because the 9s I bought are SO small and my toes dig into the front of the shoe. My advice? Measure your feet before ordering! However, the shoes were very profitable. The sole is firmer than the Vibrams on the Merrell they replace, so not as quiet when walking, but they can last longer. Tongue is ok, laces are ok…

I'm a die-hard user of the Merrel Vapor Glove 3 (VG3). I searched ebay, poshmark and the FB market for another pair of nines. The stock is exhausted. As much as I love these shoes, the durability has been terrible and the price unjustified considering how quickly they wear out. I found these TSLAs a few days ago and they are a very close interpretation (fake?) of the originals - at a greatly reduced price. Fit: Turns out half a size larger. I wear 9 in VG3, Adidas, Asolo, VFF and combat boots…

I ordered 10 - I usually wear a 10.5, the fit seems perfect. Definitely feel grounded with them, I may need more time to transition. Luckily I bought a pair of Saguaros a few weeks ago, which are significantly more padded. I have not worn them outdoors because I wanted to return/exchange them due to a defect/imperfection in the right finger guard adhesive. There appears to be a dent in it and I immediately noticed that she rubs her big toe lightly. The left one is fine, my toe fits perfectly…

For many years I've been trying to find casual, ultra-light and comfortable shoes for a bike ride. I wear heavier cycling shoes when I ride during the day, but need something to wear in the evenings and on tours. These TSLA sneakers look stylish enough to wear with my casual outfit, but they weigh next to nothing and don't take up space in my shopping cart when I commute all day. They are super comfortable and appear to be well made. Too bad I didn't find her 10 years ago. SUPPLEMENT: I wanted…

I've been walking barefoot in Vibram shoes for many years, but it takes a bit of a toll on my feet. These shoes fit the bill as they offer a little more cushioning but share the same zero-drop design. Also a nice added bonus is that you can wear socks with them in cold weather and your feet won't get cold when running in cold winters. I like this a lot as Vibram has no insulation and their winter boots are very expensive. These shoes have held up well and I would buy them again and probably…

It was my first exposure to minimalist shoes and the only TSLA shoe I could afford. You really have to get used to it, you really feel everything under your feet. Lots of room for toes. These were my favorite shoes last year, they are very easy to put on and very comfortable. However, they didn't hold up well. The upper of the shoe came off at the toes (see photo), first on one foot after about three months, then the other boot came off soon after. Then shortly thereafter the tongue on one of…

This shoe looks attractive, but the general Tesla material in the front is very thin, I wouldn't use it for running, it's like water sports shoes, little protection. The color of the material inside is white, so it is easy to get dirty when wearing. The inner soul is also a hard, flat surface for users accustomed to moccasins. Now the slow transit return is another problem that has two weeks on its account.

It felt like there was a plastic tarp on my leg. Have better quality and comfort at the same price from other sellers at Best Buy

This is what you are looking for! I'm fed up with the rising costs and falling quality of famous branded sandals. Tried them on a whim, lots of toe room, good dirt/pebble/rock resistance. But they are really barefoot, contrary to some tricks. zero drops. Get them and get them after your runs for less than half the price of these other brands.

I like the comfort and flexibility of the shoe. Very light weight. I wear them often. Let's see how the quality holds up. May not be machine washable.
