Awesome!
Fit perfect lit weight and comfortable
These are great
I was a little skeptical at first, but then I did more research and thought to myself I needed those. When it came to sizing I was scared that they were going to be too big but I did what the website said and got a half size bigger than my running skis and they work. I’m still working on reforming my foot. My pinky toes are practically underneath my other ones. I have owned mine only for a couple of weeks and I’m already starting to see improvement. I have a significant amount of control in my one pinky toe that I could barely move on its own before. I highly recommend this to anyone!
Super sensitive
I thoroughly enjoy the sensory feedback I experience while running and lifting. It's incredibly satisfying to feel my toes gripping and have precise awareness of where my feet touch the ground.
5 Stars
My pinky toe still isn’t spread out so it’s hard to get in the one side but I’m starting to see improvements. I have slightly more control over that pinky toe now.
Amazing
If I can wear them to bed, I would.
1st time Barefoot Shoes Purchase
I am a female and purchased these shoes because I wanted all black shoes and the women's we're sold out. I am happy to report, after reading the sizing FAQs, that these for true to size. I wore them all day at the hair salon, a simple way to break them in. Compliments are rolling in. Most importantly, I appreciate the toe separation which makes stretching and balancing exercises more feasible. I am a barefoot walker in any home and work from home having flat feet, Knowing that being Barefoot at home has actually REMOVED passion the my arch, is a confirmation that these shoes are necessary in my foot health. My podiatrist says so.
Super comfortable
I really enjoy these! I’ve worn barefoot shoes for a few years now, and really find these comfortable to walk on when on harder surfaces! Definitely a good addition to the rotation!
less foot pain
They are helping - significantly less pain in my feet!
3 Stars
Unique design but, the craftsmanship and construction appear rudimentary. Only time and use will indicate how well they hold up. Additionally, an increase in insole support and cushioning at the heel might help with comfort during high impact activities.
Super Light
Shoes feel lovely to walk in. As they are so light it almost feels like I don't have shoes on at all. I found it a bit difficult to get all my toes in the right slots since they are not used to being splayed. Hopefully this will change the more I wear them. The fit is pretty much perfect apart from my big toe which is kind of pushing against the end. When I look at the shoe itself the big toe and second toe are basically the same length. When I look at my foot however, my big toe is longer the my second toe. Either I have weird toes or hopefully the big toe section of the shoe will stretch a little the more I wear them. Have only had the shoes for 24 hours and I am sure they will become more comfortable to wear in the weeks ahead.
Feels natural!
So comfortable , my toes and feet feel great, so do my legs. I can wear them all day and my feet are comfortable, all day.
Like yoga for your feet
Love them. Make me want to climb things and jump on stuff. Feet feel rejuvenated after a walk with the dog . You should make a more trail orientated shoe that could stand up to more rugged condition.
Great shoes
I am getting used with them and love them…
Peluva
Great fit, nice spreading of toes. However , it is very lightweight. Would like to see a version that has a more durable sole for outdoor trail hiking
5 Stars
I think these shoes are very interesting but they feel better over a week or two. I do absolutely love them other than that.🙂
1 Star
I need a bigger size because the shoe is to small
Very happy with these
What I expected pretty comfortable. help me run faster and improve my posture a bit
Like the shoes: need bigger socks.
When I wear the shoes with socks, they are comfortable, but the socks tug on my toenails, which is not comfortable. Without socks, one of my toes rubs against the inside of the shoe, so I need to wear (a larger size) sock to make everything completely comfortable.
Viable Alternative to Vibram V-Run
Pliable/soft upper. Though proprioception is slightly compromised, shoes are ideal for long walks and distance running. Overall, very satisfied.
Peluva Love.
Comfort unrivaled!
Very nice
My feet were sore when I first used them for a long session but my feet adapted almost the next day and for most people it might take longer or there feet might be 10x sore because I go barefoot a lot but I do recommend.
Great shoe!
I was skeptical at first and it turned out I’m a huge fan! It took no time for me to acclimate to them and they are comfortable beyond belief, I can’t wait to buy another pair!
A pretty good shoe
Bottom Line: I like and would recommend this shoe, but probably never at full price + Comfortable + Nice support + Reasonably flexible + Nice presentation/packaging + Looks so great I didn't want to wear it = Long term durability is unknown = Priced somewhat similarly to direct competitors, e.g. Vibram = Special socks needed with this shoe, but socks are optional = The back arch of the shoe can be uncomfortable if you don't wear socks - Fewer sizing options than competitors offering UK sizing - Shoelaces are too long and may need to be trimmed - $140 (minus tax) is still a lot to ask for compared to alternative minimalist shoe options
