I was a little skeptical about these shoes when I saw them. I have always had traditional running shoes and wore them 90% of the time. I have bad arches and needed the support they gave and maybe a bunion starting. A friend talked me into Barefoot shoes and thank Goodness she did! When I got them I thought maybe I should have gotten a size bigger because I have Morton's Toe and thought it was going to push against the end of the shoe. I got my regular shoe size and have never had a problem! I was painting the other day and didn't want to drip paint on my new shoes so I put on my old shoes. After an hour I had to change back because I was almost crippled in my old shoes! They squeezed my toes together and boy did my feet hurt! I just ordered another pair in a different color just to have variety! You can't go wrong with these shoes!

I'm finding these extremely comfortable. It really is almost like walking barefoot. I rated 4 out of 5 because I probably needed a 1/2 size bigger. They aren't tight I just typically like a little wiggle room for my toes.

Decided to try these reasonably priced shoes after reading good reviews and having already returned 2 pairs of higher priced minimalist shoes. Needless to say, I did not return these. They are cute and different, the toe box is wide enough to accommodate my Barney Rubble feet comfortably (I do have good arches, but my toes don't like to be squished), lightweight & not bulky around the ankle, the toggle tie is easy-peasy & secure. I walked 5 miles in them the first day, but I also am usually barefoot at home & have worn another (no longer made) brand of barefoot tennies for awhile, so it was perhaps easier for me. I've done step aerobics in them and they worked just fine. Some reviews mentioned they are slippery on wet surfaces, but I walked on wet pavement no problem. Wet rocks might be another story. They are still rather new, so I can't attest to long-term wear & tear. Depending how these do, I see a couple other colors in my future. I did notice that some colors were different style....some had elastic band around the ankle, some had a strap covering the laces. I personally preferred this style. I'm trying to talk my flat-footed husband into giving these a shot.

Update: after wearing these over a month to work everyday, I bought these shoes is an 8.5. I have worn a 7.5 in almost every other shoe, but found the 7.5-8 to be too snug lengthwise by the end of my shift. For me, sizing up really helped with these shoes & I probably could go another half size up.

TLDR: these are now the only shoes I wear!

I have mild to moderate bunions and spent 2 years buying, trying on, & returning shoes desperately trying to find shoes to alleviate my foot pain, all to no avail. All of the shoes I tried pushed my big toe further in & exasperated the bunion pain on my big toe.

I was hesitant to buy barefoot shoes as I thought it would cause more pain with so little cushion, but I finally took the plunge & bought these. I'm so glad I did!

I work on my feet for 8 hours a night, so I really need comfortable shoes. The first full shift I wore these, my entire body hurt, but it stopped when I took the shoes off and my big toe didn't hurt.

The second night was much better. Now that I'm a few weeks in, I can't imagine not wearing barefoot shoes. My feet feel better, my hip pain is gone, and my back pain is gone! My walking posture and sitting posture feel better as well. I can also put weight on my toes now (I used to keep my toes lifted off the ground more when walking or standing due to bunion pain).

The one con for me is that they seem to run a tad bit short. I wear a 7.5 in almost every shoe I own, so bought the 7.5-8. I am unable to wear toe socks to keep my toes separate (bunion thing), but I am able to wear a toe separator on my big toe & thin socks. I think 8.5 would be too big. They are still very comfortable & do not feel too tight, just snug. They are also fairly warm and if they get wet, they take a while to dry out. We've been in a drought, but the one time I wore them on a wet surface, they seemed a bit slippery.

Still 10/10 would recommend. I'm so glad I found these. I gave away all of my other shoes & am a barefoot convert!

The sneakers are cute and pretty comfortable. I am typically a 6.5 or 7 with pretty wide feet so i got the 37s, but looking back, i think i would go for 38 next time. The toe box would probably feel great to someone with normal width feet, but to me they just feel like normal shoes. I have considered removing the insoles, as they do come out easily, but im very heavy on my feet for a small person, lol. I just wear thin socks with them so my feet dont feel claustrophobic. I also love that the laces are like a bungee, so no tying! And they have velcro to secure them in place. Would definitely recommend, with the caveat of size up one if you have actual wide feet.

Update: Came to update after wearing these shoes for several months and to add pictures. I do love these shoes. I do wish i had gone up a size because they're definitely not wide toe box if you have wide feet. I wear them primarily for gym shoes, and they are great for treadmill and lifting. I love the all white, but i may get a second pair in a larger size too, just so i can confirm my own advice. When i do i will come back and update again!
