Absolutely superb budget friendly barefoot shoe
EXACTLY what I was looking for! So glad I ignored the negative, uninformed reviews!Ordered my exact size and the fit was perfect. Toe box is wide which allows the toes to spread like a barefoot shoe should. It has a little bit of padding under the heel and fairly substantial padding around the ankle. Yes, you can feel the ground and whatever is under your feet… you’re supposed to because it’s a BAREFOOT shoe. No, it does not have a heavily cushioned insole…it’s not supposed to because it’s a BAREFOOT shoe. No, it does not have arch support…it’s not supposed to. These shoes allow your foot to move in a natural way and helps keep muscles, tendons and ligaments strong. Constantly wearing highly padded shoes doesn’t do that. I have Hoka, Merrill, and Clark’s and they all have their time and place but this is my go to shoe for wearing at home or in the water.

Great shoe
Helped retrain the way I walk. Feet feel a lot better. Bought multiple styles. Even tell my friends about it. Been wearing them for 2 years almost everyday and they are still holding up. I can be on my feet all day in a classroom and feel zero fatigue compared to Nike or adidas shoes. Your feet do not need the extra cushion!

very comfortable
I love these shoes. They are very comfortable if I had to have one negative it would be that my feet sweat, but I was able to take out the liners and wash them every night. I wear them all the time when traveling. They are so easy to slip on and off. I highly recommend them and have been telling and showing all my friendsI am a size 6 sneaker, but I bought the 5 1/2 because I don’t wear socks with these.

Good for Walking / Trying out Barefoot Shoes
I've just bought my 2nd pair of these (black). Bought the first pair about 18 mos ago and I wear them so frequently I've almost worn the first pair out! Originally, I bought these to try out "barefoot-style" walking shoes w/out spending a lot of money. I wear these almost daily for walking, errands and even light hikes. I'm now a believer in the benefits of a barefoot style shoe. One of these days I'll buy more expensive, higher quality (Xero?) barefoot brand shoes but these work well. I developed a painful metatarsalgia (sp?) issue in one foot and I can walk pain free w/these shoes.

Great for first time zero drop, barefoot shoe buyers
These are my first zero drop, barefoot shoes. The style is adorable, they fit true to size; I order a size 9 in all shoes, and stuck with that for these. They seem to be a good value for the money. I haven’t had traction problems, and they are easy to get on and off. Very comfortable! The inside of the heel is padded well. I use them for walking on flat surfaces only. The price is rather inexpensive compared to other brands, so the actual shoe quality and longevity have yet to be determined. Note* they are heavily vented, especially on the sides, so sand will definitely get in there if you’re going to use them in the water or at the beach.

Good fit and comfortable.
Ordered size 10 because I usually wear a 9.5 and still have a little wiggle room. These fit great, snug around the ankle and support the foot. I like that they can be adjusted easily, as my feet tend to swell in the afternoon/evening. Cute color! Would totally recommend these to family and friends.

Size down significantly
These are an ergonomic style but they offer no arch support. They also run a full size too large. I’m normally an 8 wide and I was absolutely swimming both on length and width in the 7.5 I ordered. Other reviewers are correct that you also feel all the treads of the soles coming through. These are grippy and probably best for short stints and/or folks with less sensitive, relatively flat feet.

10 out of 10 would recommend
I wear a 7 and the size wasn’t available. I read all of the reviews and they mentioned the shoe running a little big. I order the 6.5 and they fit perfect! 10/10 would recommend. I will absolutely be purchasing the black and the nude pairs next!
