So comfy & affordable, buy 1/2-size bigger!
After reading many reviews, i ordered “True to size”, but it was 1/2 size too small. Got rapid refund of this order & simultaneously placed order for NEW pair that was 1/2-size bigger than my actual foot size. Fits PERFECTLY!Have only been wearing these approx. 1-month (and not continuous wear, as it’s been occasionally freezing & wet in NYC this winter, and these are mesh sneaker!) No insulation or foot warmth – but I bought these shoes for flexibility, NOT foot warmth! I have leather shoes for that. Unsure how long they’ll wear … will try to remember to report back in a few months!PROS:- V. flexible (forward/backward, twist!) & v. light, which is what i was looking for! Much more work felt by muscles of my feet, esp. inner-arch, which was exactly my goal.- Shoe sole & cut is designed to shape the inner-arch area, but there is MINIMAL support (forces inner arch muscles to actively work, rather than passively resting on shoe-supplied arch-support!)- Super-comfy from the moment i put these shoes on … which is how i evaluate shoes, now. NO “wearing-in” period!- Roomy toe-box, but not too roomy … I usually wear New Balance & Saucony sneakers (wide fore-foot, narrow ankles/heels). This shoe’s toe-box allows full movement of individual toes, but mesh-uppers keep shoes securely snug to foot, without excess toe-space.- Individual toes NOT separated (i prefer this), only LOOKS like individual toes.- Included elastic “speed laces” (no tying shoelaces needed) with ** extra VELCRO DETAIL ** (prevents long-end from flopping around during run/walk)- Strong & secure back-of-heel Pull-on Tab (sewn-in all-along back of heel & under rubber sole … avoid tab pull/break-off (EXCEPTION: “Black Stripe model” has only little pull-tab)- Good, grippy soles (non-slip on wet surfaces)- Also, GREAT price & v. fast delivery!CONS:- A little bit of fraying on edge-of-tongue of one shoe (may not last more than 3-6 mos, which is OK).- Possibly Interrupted Supply: Once you find the size that works well for you, perhaps order a couple back-up pairs. When Trump requested additional shipping tariffs on goods from China, these products went out-of-stock for a few wks.- City streets: Made to run/walk on DIRT TRAILS, so City-streets/sidewalks & subway-platforms can be a “sensory-challenge” (“Oh my gosh, with these shoes i feel EVERYTHING on the ground”). I generally walk 5-7 mi/day (sometimes up to 10 mi), so the balls of my feet feel tired/achy after 4-5 mi (due to less padding than most sneakers). I try to remember to bring an extra pair of more cushioned shoes, on those long-mileage days, to save the balls of my feet!FINAL TIPS:- FYI: Buy 1/2-size larger than true shoe size.- If currently wearing very supportive sneakers, gradually phase-in “wear time” of these shoes (same as all minimalist shoes). Start with 30-60 min for 1-2x per day for a few days. Alternate with wearing other flexible sneaker that’s a bit LESS flexible than this shoe (e.g. Nike “Free”, Puma “Ignite Netfit”, Adidas “Boost”, etc.) AND do Heel Raise-and-Hold for 10-count (standing on balls of your feet) with toes pointed /, | |, / . Strengthens inner-arch & calf muscles, so they’ll be strong-enough to support foot in minimalist shoe.If feet fine after 2-3 days, try doubling time, 2-4x per day, for several days. Do another foot check-in … if feet still fine, should be OK to wear all-day.

Barefoot Sneaker
I was looking for a shoe that was easy to wear, lightweight and comfortable. Also shoes that added stability and felt more like walking barefoot but with protection. After reading reviews I decided to try this pair. Today when I picked them up from my mailbox I immediately put them on and I was extremely pleased with the fit and feel of them. I then hit the trail up our hill and could tell immediately that these shoes were everything I wanted. I instantly felt more grounded to the trail, was able to increase my walking speed without losing stability and the soles offered enough traction to avoid slipping. In fact I made it up 100 steps to the next trailhead so quickly and easily I was amazed. The return trip down the trail is always more challenging for me as it puts pressure on my knees but I felt no pain as I quickly made my way down. The one review that really sold me was made by a 64 year old woman and as I am the same age I was more inclined towards buying these shoes. I’m very pleased with my purchase, they were on sale when I bought them so that was a bonus. I got the color pink and I love it!

Sizes are inaccurate
The sizes are WAY too big for the number. Ordered 9 men, got something like 11 men.

Very comfortable
I love these shoes. They are not tight or small so order your regular size or closest to it. I wear a size 8, 8.5, or 9 depending on the shoe and I got a 8 1/2 in these shoes and there’s so much space just enough. Please get close to your regular size. People who say that they run small, probably are not getting their right size.
