Not a normal shoe... and that's good
Just got em and love em. Still have to see how they hold up, but they're easy to put on, and look pretty normal (not like the weird "toe" shoes).They're not like normal shoes... wearing them is like getting a "foot massage"... It feels really good, but it's different from a normal shoe. Foot is free to move freely. No constraint.ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: They don't fit as advertised (they run about a size too small), so if you wear 11 men, order a 12 men. At least, that was the case for me.I'm going to try hiking/rucking with them (for short rucks) to see how they hold up. I know a couple of other folks who do this with other brands of barefoot shoes.

Order a size bigger/ prefect substitute for flip-flops
Let me start by saying they run a size small. I wear an 11-11.5 in men’s. Ordered a sizes 12, prefect fit.Shoes wise: good tread and grip, flexible, breathable, and ease to put on. Huge fan of speed laces.So far they worked well at the gym and I did a 3.7 mile hike along dozer trail, then took the side walk back, no problems.If I had to describe how they wear, I say like a pair of flip flops, without the flop and toe scrunching. Extremely lightweight with soul protection front hot pave and your basic ground cover.

Fit extra wide feet, poor lace quality, surprisingly good for price
Fit my extra wide feet, much to my surprise! Shoes were great but the laces were cheap. One of the locks holding the elastic laces in place were broke on my left shoe and wouldn't hold the elastic laces in place and constantly became loose. I'm planning to cut the laces out in the near future and replacing with a higher quality one.The arch support was minor but I guess technically there. Zero drop and minimal shoes are just like wearing no shoes at all, works great if you're moving around but can be painful if standing in a single position for a longer period of time. Super surprised these shoes fit me and for the price I paid they were worth it.I haven't been able to test the waterproof capability, but after wearing them for 10 hours I would recommend.

Very Good Comfortable Shoes!
I've switched to barefoot shoes because of their incredible comfort. I also use toe separators to help restore my feet's natural shape. I no longer buy narrow shoes from brands like Nike – they actually damaged my feet over time.These barefoot shoes are exceptionally comfortable for walking, running, and even playing VR games (Meta Quest 3) outdoors during intense physical activity. They keep your feet comfortable while allowing full natural movement – a huge improvement over restrictive Nike shoes.Plus, they're breathable, functional, and come in various colors. I plan to buy another pair to rotate for outdoor activities rather than wearing just one pair constantly. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable
Barefoot shoes are not high tech shoes and therefore not expensive either, so a shoe that is closer to nature and cheap should be every body’s choice. These shoes are not expensive and do what they are supposed to do. It took a few months for the feet to adjust to the flat thin soles that would not cushion even a small pebble. The bones, tendons, muscles and ligaments went through 2-3 months of groans and pains adapting to the new form, but now they feel very comfortable and are my go to shoes. I have a mild arthritis of my big toes. My regular well cushioned shoes were a pain in the neck. With these shoes i quite often forget that i have a joint problem. No pain. They don’t hold up to the beating of daily jogging though. It’s understandable because of the thin rubber sole so be prepared to replace them earlier than the regular ones.

NOT WIDE & RUNS SMALL
I have difficult feet (Achilles tendinitis, rotated lower tibia, and an old injury on one side due to a break that’s developed arthritis) that are long and narrow at a glance but splay extremely wide when I step. I also have arch issues with fallen high arches. I’ve been wearing zero drop shoes for a while with a wide toe box and frequently purchase Altra Lone Peaks and recently tried Topos (which had too much cushion and upset my tendinitis). I do have to use a medical molded arch support on my injured side. My ortho told me to make sure I buy shoes that are wide for my feet and without cushion so I can have stability, avoid pain, and mimic barefoot. Altras have been having their soles worn extremely fast and I needed something that I could have as an alternative sometimes.I was pleased to see the shoes I ordered arrived new. Construction seems fair but not something to write home about, and appear passing like normal shoes (rather than functional beach/water shoes).I am upset they’re not as wide as the photo depicts them nor as they’re marketed. They’re definitely a regular width. The sides are very easily manipulated so if you have wide feet that can push the edge you should be just fine. My feet are not and even socks annoy me so I assume that pushing on my smallest toe will become annoying and will probably become an issue for wearing them for long periods.They also are smaller than expected. Granted I have big feet and sized up. Usually I wear a 9 in men’s, so an 11 in women’s. I ordered what would give me room at the tips of my toes and it just doesn’t. I’m right there at the tip.As expected there is no support. I know some folks said it hugs the arch which I thought would be beneficial due to my injury on my one side but they really don’t offer anything. They’re too soft to offer any structure.They’ll make fine water shoes should I decide daily shoes just isn’t working out so I’ll keep them. Definitely thin (as expected) and would probably not be good for cold weather.Pro:Expected constructionWas new and cleanAppear like a normal shoeCons:NOT A WIDE TOE BOX LIKE DEPICTEDSmaller than expectedNo support like advertised and other reviewers mentioned (which I expected)
