Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerThey have a great feel. Enjoy the walks using them. However, the outer surface scuffs very easly.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerIt works
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerI have been wearing these shoes daily for just over a year, and they have not fallen apart yet. I will say these are good for beginners just getting into the barefoot or zero drop style. Coming from regular shoes, these took at least a month to break in and for my feet to stop hurting in them, I wear them at work 6-8 hours a day walking and standing. Once my feet adjusted to the this style of shoe, they felt amazing to put on, tho my feet still get sore from walking 6-8, but they never hurt the next morning. These are thicker, and not as flexible, than most barefoot shoes, and they provide a bit of cushion for walking on hard surfaces, like tile, or pavement. They are still too thin for winter, any weather below 40F, just make sure you aren't outside too long, I swap to a fuzzy zero drop boot for winter. I highly recommend giving these a shot if you are new to zero drop or barefoot shoes, BUT, I would personally price tag these around $80-90. I bought them at $120, they are now around $150, I'm sure the R&D may cost a lot, and inflation is, you know, but the quality of the physical shoe materials is seems the same as any other shoe. Due to the increase in cost I will not be buying these again once I need new shoes. If money is not an issue, they are still a great shoe to try!
Makes my calf’s feel strong and reactive
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerI prefer it more than my regular running shoe for training. I wouldn't wear it as a daily activity for like shopping or dinning out. The toes bend nicely backwards but not as well forwards so I tend to just take them off anyways when stretching
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerIve enjoyed wearing them for my workouts as yhe allow for a complete grounding if my feet when looking for balance, planting and strength.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerMy feet feel different when I walk or train in these. Good product! I would recommend!
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerGood shoes they were two big though
Men's Strand Lightweight Trainerpretty good. I'm not gonna lie a fair amount of people stare at my feet now. A lot thicker than I thought It'd be. not too much tho. There was no sore feet while getting used to it like some people said. Which is a plus. But I don't know how long the souls will last. I got them like a week or 2 ago, the spot for your heel were the peluva symbol is on the soul, is already looking a little damage. It's not super bad, it's just usually takes longer with other shoes I've had. overall very comfortable.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerHe says they feel odd when you first start wearing them but you get used to them and they are very comfortable
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerI've been looking for a while and finally pulled the trigger to get these shoes and they're great. I've only used them a half dozen times in my Kung Fu training so far (can't use them outside the dojo) so I guess I might have to get another pair for every other time lol. I ordered the trainers and if say my only issue I'd say are the laces. I've been trying to tuck under the tongue so they're out of the way but otherwise, I love em!
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerThe shoes are lovely. Yes it's going to take some time to retrain my toes to spread so that I can get each toe and each pocket of the shoe. And I will admit that it can be painful, squished nails and all. But once you're in, they really feel good. I'm still on my first week in them, so I'm taking it light. However I have good hopes for these.
Men's Strand Lightweight Trainertook some time before they went on easily
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerLove them. Put them on as soon as I get up in the morning.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerGood shoe. I don’t like the laces (string too short & vibram strings better)
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerThis is my first time using toe shoes and I knew it would be sometime before I got used to them. After wearing them around the house for two days, I took them out on a walking trail that had some pretty steep inclines. I was very impressed how the shoes gripped. I didn’t slip at all. I figured I would be a lot more sore after the 5 mile park in them, but to my surprise, my feet felt great the next morning. My only grip is I could probably use a half size bigger. I scanned my foot and it said I was a size 11, which is fine but doesn’t allow room for any socks.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerOverall the shoe feels very natural on my feet. The challenge is always so placement when putting the shoes on. I hope that improves over time.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerMy first couple of workouts and just going out have gone well. These are the first shoes or other toe separator devises that actually work for me plus for workouts I’m a lot more stable with balance.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerHaven’t worn toe shoes in a few years, I think they fit well but sizing could be better and the laces could be a little shorter as I double knot them they’re still bouncing around and hitting my shins and legs. I’ll use these till they’re worn out and probably try something different
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerI have worn vibrams for years. So when I saw a new company with five finger shoes, I had to give them a shot! I use these shoes for the gym, so I like being zero down to the floor. These pair are very much like sneakers. I like that the material is stretchy, but these are ones you have to wear socks with, I did not find bare foot as comfortable.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerLove them but the do need specific half sizes

Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerThe shoes were a little difficult to put on, at first, with the separating the toes to go in each individual slot. Once I got them on, they are very comfortable and have a solid sole that protects my feet on all the surfaces I have walked on so far. they are my favorite shoes to wear to the gym.
