Comfortable!
These are the most comfortable shoes! My toes have enough room where they aren’t being squished! They have great traction and are very breathable and will dry fast even if getting soaked. They also are supper lightweight and it doesn’t feel like you have shoes on! They fit perfectly too!

Great minimalist shoe for massage therapist you do need a break in period
As a massage therapist, I've recently started using these minimalist shoes for my work on LVF and carpet, and I wanted to share my experience.I was quite intrigued by the shoes, especially given their reasonable price, so I decided to make the purchase. They arrived promptly and matched the description accurately. Based on online reviews, I chose a size 10, which turned out to be a perfect fit for my wide feet, despite my initial concerns.Typically, transitioning from regular shoes to minimalist options requires a break-in period. However, many reviews suggested that this particular model did not, which eased my hesitation. To test them out, I wore them during a short four-hour shift at work. I was pleased to find that they felt comfortable without any slipping, allowing my toes to splay naturally.Over the next two weeks, I alternated between these shoes and other footwear at home, while spending approximately 25 hours a week in them. I did start to notice a slight pulling sensation on the top of my foot, traveling from the lateral to medial side near the ankle. While it was somewhat bothersome, it wasn’t painful at that moment. However, the pulling seemed to increase with continued wear, prompting me to reassess my need for a break-in period after all.To accommodate this, I've since adjusted my approach by wearing the minimalist shoes for half of my shift and reverting to my regular athletic trainers for the remaining hours. This strategy has proven effective.Overall, I felt inclined to give these shoes a five-star review. They are exceptionally well-made, providing excellent arch support and thoughtful toe protection.

Good shoes
I like them a lot. They’re true to size and comfortable. My toes have room and they passed the test on a trail as well as on nature terrain.Minus points for Amazon’s never ending fail of quality control. I received a used pair that was super dirty. In the last 3 months I had to return broken and visibly used items over and over and I am so sick of this. We live in the country and it’s not easy to quickly find a shipper to return items. So I sucked it up and threw them in the washer. (They’re definitely washable)Tip for the selling company: get after Amazon to fulfill their quality assurance and treat your product accordingly. They just cost you a star.

Balance restored.
I have read so many different claims about the barefoot shoes. I decided to try a few brands. These are, by far, my favorite. They don't cost a ridiculous amount, I'd actually say the price for what you get is great!I have MS and migraines, both of which mess with my coordination and balance. I have also sprained my ankles MULTIPLE times in my life so on top of the other medical stuff, my ankles are weak...well I should say they were weak. I haven't rolled either of my ankles in a couple of weeks, that's a record for me! I've only had these for 3 weeks and they've made a huge difference. It's even helped with my knee and hip pain. I may still have the medical issues, but at least I am not falling or tripping. My balance and coordination are noticeably improving.Also, did it mention they're also pretty cool looking and quite comfortable. I was worried about how they'd fit cause my foot is narrow, but these fit well. I actually forget I have shoes on.I wear between a 10.5 to an 11 depending on the brand and type of shoe. I got the 10.5-11 and they're great!

Light Weight, Great Fit, Comfortable
I was looking for a replacement for my everyday sneakers for trips to town and appointments.My regular wide toebox trail shoes are now running a bit over $150 a pair and I decided to go looking for a replacement. I watched the reviews and looked at the sole shape for a number of different brands and finally decided on these.They are wonderful. They are zero drop, so my calves aren’t shortening. They are nice and wide across the instep. I can see where my big toe and my small toe both have plenty of room to flex. They are easy to get off and on and I had no trouble adjusting the fit. I also like that the loop on the back of the heel is big enough to get a finger into, although I don’t really need it to pull these on. The little Velcro tab keeps the laces from flopping around, so that’s nice.I put these on, adjusted the laces and never had a break-in period at all. They were comfortable from day one! I wear them around the farm for most chores and for my morning walks. I haven’t tried them for hiking yet.Other than that, I really like the color options. I chose the purple because it was an absolutely glorious deep color. I may pick up a couple more pair in different colors.

Comfortable
These are so comfortable. I have another type of these shoes that are a great fit. I bought this pair a size up so there is more room for heavy socks. They have great traction and are very flexible. I’m not impressed with the length of the laces. They are really long and Velcro to the base of the flap. The laces are not designed to be shortened.
