They feel great after wearing them. The top is a bit stiff at the beginning. I walk a lot and even run in it. I ran 7 miles in them this morning. They have a good minimal sole. I know they're not meant to run, but they work. Update 5/25/21: I've had them for over a year now. I decided to remove the insole as shown in the picture and replace it with a flat, thin insole that is true to size. The shoe now feels even better because it is more flexible and has no sag. If you like minimalist shoes, try this simple mod. I should have done that earlier. You just feel a lot more comfortable and responsive now.
