My Favourite Shoes

These are among the most Barefoot shoes I've ever had. They are wide, foot-shaped and very comfortable.

Almost Perfect, but the Big Toe Taper Is a Real Problem

The stack height delivers exactly the ground feel I was looking for. Unfortunately, the shoe’s shape holds it back from being a true barefoot option. The big-toe section of the toe box noticeably tapers inward, which restricts natural toe splay—even though my feet aren’t particularly wide. When walking, your big toe should be able to spread outward for balance and stability, but this shoe doesn’t allow enough room for that. Going up a size doesn’t solve the issue either. This restriction also affects proper arch activation, which is a key part of barefoot-style movement. Overall, while the ground feel is excellent, the lack of a truly foot-shaped design defeats much of the purpose of a barefoot shoe.

i like how light the shoe is and compared to my other barefoot pair of slip-ons, they are wider and fit my fit perfect so far. very happy with them.
