I am up 13 hours a day when I work. I'm a barefoot fanatic. However, these shoes are not "barefoot sandals". The level of arch support in them is low. It feels like someone put a large piece of plasticine under the tops of your feet after putting on real sandals. While I think they would be good for hiking loose gravel, they don't feel as free as some of the others. They have pretty thick soles.
