These are EXACTLY what I've been searching for! The name brand barefoot shoes are a waste of money in my opinion, since no matter what, a small amount of rubber on a shoe means it's going to wear out faster than conventional shoes. So these are the right price! I even forewent a pair of Merrell Vapor Glove 6's for these. I tried 14 different pairs until I landed here. They are outstandingly comfortable and accommodating. Light and very breathable, yet just sturdy enough. It has the padding in the ankle of a regular shoe, the upper is very similar to a water shoe, and the bottom rubber is a minimalist barefoot shoe.I'm buying a second pair just in case they ever stop making them!NOTE: These DO run small, at least in the size 10-11 for men. The size 10 mens came with a "42" tag which equates to a size 8.5-9! The size 11 mens came with a 43 tag which equates to a 9.5-10! If you're, let's say, normally a size 10 or 10.5 in mens, I would order a size 11 and 12. Then return the one which doesn't fit the best. If you're normally a size 10.5-11 in mens, I would order a size 11 and 12 and do the same. Get the gist?If you can get the right size, I swear these shoes are awesome. I've tried several of the reasonably priced barefoot shoes on here (Orangineer, Whitin, etc), the Merrell Vapor Glove 6 and Trail Glove 7, and several of even the water shoes!I live in Arizona and it rarely rains here. So if you're often in warm-hot weather, these are the bees knees baby!

Just bought a second pair because these shoe are great and worth every cent! Way better than those you see advertised claiming to be developed for the military. Yep, bought into that one too and regretted paying 3 X the cost to get basically poor quality shoes! Love the wide toe box!

My first barefoot shoe was a Hike Footwear product. I loved the barefoot style, highly breatheable, wide toe box and 'barely there' feel of them. They were a gift and cost something like $55. To my chagrin, I realized the holes in the soles weren't really about moisture control. Well sort of. They're water shoes and the holes promote quick draining of water. LOL. Anyway, I learned early in life, if the shoe fits, wear it. But it's gonna be Winter soon and I don't fancy rapid INTAKE of water through the holes when I step in a puddle. So I looked for alternatives and found these babies for half the price. Slightly thicker sole, no bottom holes, nice ankle padding, Slightly denser mesh uppers. My feet stay drier in this style of shoe than less breatheable shoes wearing socks. The lack of moisture accumulation also keeps my feet warmer, despite the mesh uppers being 'breezier' and even if rain or dew gets in them, which it surely does. But my body heat evaporates the moisture instead of trying endlessly to warm a mass of water trapped in a solid lining that is determined to reach equilibrium temperature with the great outdoors. At $25 it's a great basic barefoot shoe. Not a lot of color or design options and the pull loop on the heel is fit only for a small child's finger. But for half price, I'll live with the compromise.

I was nervous about ordering these due to the low cost and having little experience with this style of shoe. However, within just a few weeks of regular use I find myself really liking these! They are very easy to put on with the stretchy material and laces, but still stay on my feet very well. No rubbing, no squeezed toes, durability seems good. The minimal cushion on the bottom was a different experience from normal shoes, but is also something I have realized is a positive for me. My walking and running stance are improving noticeably. Would buy again!

These shoes are great. They are comfortable, and I like the pattern very much. They are easy to walk in, and it didn't take long to acclimate to the zero-drop feature. They do run small. I bought two pairs; I got the normal size I would buy in any other shoe. Although they fit and could have been functional, they felt too short and tight. I exchanged both pairs for a full-size larger, and they fit great.

I was really hoping these would work for me. Wanted them for work shoes. They are comfortable but just a tad tight. I ordered 8.5. Need a 9 but they jump from 8.5 to 9.5...no size 9. These are also not anti slip as it says. I just wore them in the house for a few and was slipping on my floors, which are clean. No way I could wear them in a restaurant. Otherwise, for the price, these are very nice for normal, everyday wear, just not in slippery places. Jmo

I think these shoes are a hit because they are light weight, easy to put on, cheaper at the time of purchase than other similar, and quite comfortable. The only thing I was bummed about was they were out of the color I wanted. I opted for a light colored one that I should not have gotten bc I get them dirty quickly.

Size runs small. I normally wear 7.5 & needed an 8.5. Perfect fit. I bought these in 2 colors because of comfort, easy on & off, & they are light weight. My feet & ankles are typically swollen & getting shoes to fit is a problem. These shoes have an extra wide toe box & elastic laces which have made my walking life much more comfortable. I do recommend these.
