If you have flat wide feet…these are the shoes for you
I had originally purchased a pair of sneakers from On Cloud, they looked great, felt good…but man once I walk in them for 5+ minutes it starts hurting the sides and soles of my feet. Unfortunately, I had to return them.I eventually found these and ordered a pair…for over $100 less. Ordered in my “normal” size. They fit great and they look decent. Quality seems to be good so far, no real complaints for the price honestly. I do wear them to the gym for weightlifting and the soles are SUPER grippy and stable. I originally bought a pair of laces for them but was pleased to find that the laces they came with were slightly elastic and best of all they’re “soft” and pliable so I kept the original laces.I will say, I walked in these for an hour a couple of times. The first 2-3 times I did that the ball on one foot started swelling a little. But from what I understand now with these “minimal(ish)” style shoes, you need to let you feet get accustomed to them. Sure enough, no issues now walking in them.Definitely considering buy another pair in a different color.

MUST HAVE
Bought these for my husband and he swears by them! He says that they are very comfortable, slick minimalist shoes with a wide toe box. He has been wearing them for about 6 months now during his workouts and they’ve held up very well. The style is a lot better than some of the competitors. He said that he highly recommends these shoes!

Not very durable but good budget barefoot shoes for walking.
These are a great first pair of barefoot shoes especially for walking. For running they don’t work for me but milage may very. If you have the money then I would get something more durable like Vivobarefoot, Feelgrounds, Groundies, Be Lenka, etc.Durability – I wore these delivering pizzas for around 30 hours a week. The tread went flat in a few months. I kept wearing them and they lasted me about 11 months before the soles split and water got in. At some point the sole also started rolling over itself a bit which I felt slightly while walking. On the outside the treading all looks good but on the inside it’s falling apart a bit. For $40 I can’t really complain, but it is a little wasteful to have to replace your shoes once or twice a year.Comfort – if you like cushy shoes then these are a big adjustment. Once you get used to them, they are super comfy for walking; they really feel sort of barefoot. For running they don’t really work for me because when I tighten down the laces, the tongue folds over and becomes a pressure point. They have thin, flexible, somewhat soft soles; I would not want to step on a nail in these but they provide great ground feel. The toe box is nice and wide so they don’t squeeze my toes.

Comfortable and easy to take on and off
They are comfortable slides on and of with the flexibility of the ankle part fit perfectly for the size chart and great quality material only downside is the ankle part of shoe has a little discomfort

A year later: still Great low cost minimalist option!
BOTTOM LINE: I highly recommend these! Comfortable, functional, ergonomic, and fashionable.I have had these shoes for over a year now and can say that they are fantastic! They are a great way to checkout minimalist footwear without breaking the bank.I am a teacher and am on my feet most of the day. These shoes allow your feet and body to work the way they were designed and have helped with my foot and back pain. You definitely need to transition into wearing these if you are not a regular user of barefoot shoes. It took me about 2-3 weeks or rotating them in with my regular shoes, but now I wear the 90% of the time.I also use these as my gym shoes for weightlifting and love them for that as well. The wide toe box and flat sole are great for lifting. I wouldnât wear them for running, but they are good for just about everything else!I normally wear a size 10.5 Mens and ordered a 10 in these. Perfect fit.To clean, I remove the soles and laces and was in the washing machine and hang dry. Have had 0 issues!

Needed Wide Shoes… CAUTION
Was looking to finally get into wide set shoes after having some foot pain and I decided to get these a try. I got size 13 which is my normal shoe size, but they proved to be clownishly too big (felt like Ronald McDonald walking around). I checked with the size chart and I decided to go on the smaller side, after having measured my foot. I got a size 11. Too small. Sent back and ordered a 12. Too small still. Got a 12.5. Finally felt good. The shoes themselves are comfy. I like how they “hug” your ankles. That being said, the shoes are not without issues. The sole is incredibly bendable, to the point where there isn’t really a lot of support. I took out the shoe inserts the shoes came with and I put in some Dr. Scholls. Felt much better, that being said. The shoes felt fine for a few weeks. But then the right shoe started to squeak whenever I walked. This wasn’t a surface issue, since the right shoe squeaked regardless whether I was walking on a hardwood floor, poured concrete, or out on the street. I’ve tried several things to help tone down the squeaking (including WD-40), but didn’t really prove helpful. I do walk a lot and I put a lot miles on my shoes. While these shoes are decent for the time being, I’m thinking next time I’ll get the real thing (Olukai boat shoes, which are over $100, but I think they’ll give me more support). Overally I’m happy with what I got for the $40 I paid for them.

Perfect for my wide feet and stylish.
These wide shoes are incredibly comfortable, offering excellent support for all-day wear. The roomy fit accommodates wider feet without sacrificing style. Ideal for those needing extra space and cushioning, theyâre perfect for long walks or standing for extended periods. A must-have for comfort seekers!

Son extremadamente cómodos, el color azul marino es sensacional. Al tratarse de zapatos que apuntan al Barefoot, la suela es delgada, por lo que piedras o cualquier objeto sobre el piso que sobre salga se va a sentir con más intensidad que en el calzado normal.La parte de los dedos es amplia y permite movilidad a los dedos. No los clasificarÃa 100% como Barefoot, sino como zapatos para iniciar la transición a calzado Barefoot estrictamente hablando. Una de las caracterÃsticas para denominarlos de tal forma es la ligera elevación en la punta del calzado.Sin lugar a dudas, por la calidad, estética y funcionamiento, yo recomendarÃa ampliamente iniciar con calzado como este, antes de hacer el cambio total a calzado Barefoot, como Vivobarefoot, que son mucho más costosos pero ya son zapatos zero drop en toda la extensión de la palabra.

I never though they would be this incredible. I wear them everyday for about 2 months now. You realise you need it only when you start wearing them. They’re incredibly comfortable ( probably my best pair of shoes). For the price, totally worth it. I could have pay 100 $ for them and i would have still bought them.

Muy buenos todos los dedos libres y la suela calidad
David S. –
The wide toe box and minimalist feel of these shoes is great. Great choice for an entry level to minimalist shoes. The removable sole can help ease you into gradually reducing the cushioning on your foot. I do not take them out in the rain or snow, the adhesive does look a bit iffy around the sole of the shoe. When they stay dry they feel and look great though.

Ordered half a size smaller and it was still too big. They also sent me green instead of the black colour I requested.
