Product Customer Reviews
For those of us who like minimalism and walking barefoot, they are a good option. They are comfortable, light and fit better than thread huaraches. However, I have noticed that the heel hurts a little after walking for a long time (it could be a problem with my stride), but for the rest, I love them.
I tried to buy these sandals twice. The first time they were too big. I exchanged them for a smaller size but they were still not comfortable. For such a small and compact design they are surprisingly heavy. The lack of a connection on the side means that instead of walking in them you "walk" almost like in flip-flops. The lack of any cushioning was the last straw and I had to return them. If someone is expecting "bare feet" and can accept a relatively high weight, then maybe they will be ok.
Light and very comfortable.
I wanted to try barefoot walking at a low price, even if these shoes don't tick all the boxes. They are a good way to try walking without a heel (which for my part solved my sciatica problems!) They fit my foot very well (I took a 37. Usually I take a 39 to have a foot width that suits me, but I have a foot length of 37/38. That must be why people find that they are large. On the other hand, the relief in contact with the foot should be reviewed: it warms up the foot, and is not always pleasant in very hot weather. The water-repellent side is interesting, but the straps stay wet for a long time (in summer, it's refreshing! But it must not be great for the mountains in the evening) If you are not used to barefoot walking, you have to go gradually. I hope that this product will be renewed (with different and improved straps in different colors, and especially a softened relief for comfort.
As a starter shoe for barefoot, it is fine, although the front strap puts a lot of pressure on the metatarsals and there is not enough room for the little toe for feet already accustomed to barefoot.
Really comfortable sandals for everyday use!!!
I love them, they are super comfortable
Sandals are the perfect replacement for flip-flops when traveling.
Really great sandals. See previous review.
The husband buys the sandals. They are already second in order. The first ones could not withstand the load at the camp. They are such outdoor slippers, you cannot expect them to withstand kilometers of marches on difficult terrain. So it fulfills its purpose.
light and practical also for camping...
After a few weeks of use, my opinion is positive about it. It is very light, takes up little space, and looks strong. I don't know yet how durable it will be, but it has already proven itself on several tours, I also ran it in Zemplén. It is only used for hiking by those who have experience or at least knowledge in the field of barefoot footwear, but for those who don't, it can also be of great service: for airing your feet after a hike, instead of camp evening slippers, or even for walking a few kilometers on easier terrain with tired feet. I think barefooters can wear it even on stronger terrain.
Great purchase, just what I wanted: light and minimal, they protect the foot even on dirt roads.
The shoe is too big and hurts the heel (grooved plastic). The toe strap is poorly positioned and the back strap is not adjustable. The return was refused.
The front is narrow and forces the toes to stick together. Widening the strap doesn't solve the problem because then the sandal becomes too mobile. I would widen the front by half a centimeter at the Velcro strap
