Review on Women's Hiitave Minimalist Barefoot Running Trainers Footwear by Abhinav Drury

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No to running for athletes

NOTE: I usually wear Merrell Vapor Glove 2s My first impression is that they fit perfectly, there is a wide toe box, a comfortable tight heel cup and everything is elastic, tongue, upper and laces. Compared to the Merrel, they have a thicker, more comfortable insole and a deeper tread on the bottom, presumably for off-road traction. They are also significantly heavier than merrels, probably for the same reasons. Time for a test run. It was immediately apparent that there was more than usual between me and the ground, making the pebbles less painful for my feet, but also destroying some of the connection between foot and ground that barefooters enjoy. I also noticed that they are quite warm. ATTENTION: Due to the elasticity of the materials, my feet could move noticeably in the shoe, especially when cornering and going downhill, which I associate with blisters and injuries. I tightened the laces as tight as I could, but it still seemed too unstable. Overall, I don't recommend them for anything strenuous.
