Product Customer Reviews
I bought a pair as I loved the minimal design. I still wear them after sliding an arch support insole into it as otherwise it was like walking barefoot. Can feel every single stone or pebble outdoors. Not sure how that is comfortable. The material looks durable, but I would suffer without insoles. Can someone let me know if you use it as it is? Surely lightweight snd compact.
These sandals are incredibly lightweight and easy to carry during my 14-day TMB trip. They were so comfortable after a full day of trekking, and switching to them in the refuges is an unforgettable memory!
Bought these for beach holiday. Wished I tried these on in shop , they were easily 2 sizes to large . I am size 46 , ordered 46. I preserved with these unfortunately they were not practical , flimsy .
Straps not quite long enough for nature feet. Okay for walking short distances if you’re not used to bare feet shoes. Not quite as light as expected.
If you made these 50% narrower in the heel and 59% wider in the toe they'd be perfect. The thin soles are great but they're not shaped anything like a human foot. Also please offer shorter unisex sizes without changing the shape to a narrow women's design.
The product is barefoot and thin sole which I am looking for for barefoot feel. Overall moderate wi the some tips to improve 1. The velcro straps not adjustable which is too long and over extended the distance so not firmly stick which I need to modified by sewing with extra Velcro . As other feedback before. If there is a slight arch on insole will be perfect.
Definitely needs a bit of getting use to as there’s no support whatsoever.

Nice and simple.
Spent the early summer mornings walking my miles in these. Really thin and responsive, and very little wear to show on them. My feet and toes are grateful, I feel like I've more stability down there now. Can't recommend enough for your first foray in to the barefoot movement.
3rd item I've bought of this site and there ability to provide exactly what I'm looking for at a very competitive price remains unblemished. I have only just had them but it obvious stuff. Very packable, lightweight, seemingly durable sandals. Muted color's, minimum amount of water repellant straps needed to secure a tight fit designed in a way there are no hard plastic parts digging in your foot and zero faff putting or taking them off.
Despite what other reviews say I found these run really small. I'd suggest at least a full size larger than normal size is required.
I wanted to love these sandals. They feel well made, they are light, great value and they would be comfortable to walk in if they fit me well. I have wider feet than average, and I found that in my normal size (46) that the sandal was slightly too long, but the toe strap was too narrow and crushed my little toe inwards. Barefoot shoes/footwear typically have a wide toe box, but these sandals don't (or at least, much less so than my Vivobarefoot shoes). Unfortunately, I had to return them as they are just not the right shape.
These are great, really comfy, feel strong for hiking in, pack away really small. But beware the sizing is really big. I needed to go down a size and a half to get ones that fit.
I bought these to help me walk with a more natural foot/toe spread. I absolutely love them. I find them comfortable to walk in all day, have used them on various terrains and can't fault them. I will definitely be purchasing a few more pairs as they have become my daily footwear.
