These are very comfortable shoes and as I’m new to barefoot shoes, I think that they’re a good introduction as they have a thin inner sole which gives a bit of padding but you can definitely still feel the ground under your feet unlike normal footwear. I would certainly recommend them.
Most comfortable shoes ever!!
I have never had a pair of barefoot shoes and after a full day of wearing them at work where I spend a lot of time on my feet, I can see I huge improvement. No more sore feet and legs!!!! Great shoes!
Love these
Looked at a lot of different barefoot shoes and decided to try these. They’re very comfortable and it’s suprising how quickly you get use to them. I ordered my usual size and the fit was great, would definitely recommend these.
Life changing.
Have solved all of the problems in my life. Everything is perfect now that I have barefoot shoes. As soon as I put them on I was given a new job, the woman of my dreams, so many friends and family reunited. Barefoot shoes will change your life like you never thought they could.
Very comfortable shoes
I liked that they fit well and lots of room in the toe area. As I wore them I found there was not enough support in the arch area and had to add an orthotic. The shoes were still fine and I have worn them every day. I am thinking of buying another pair.
Finally actual wide fit pumps.
I’ve lost track of the number of “wide fit” pumps and trainers I’ve bought over the years. This is the first pair that actually deserves that title.
They are wide fit. Really wide fit. They’re comfortable and look good. I’ll certainly be buying another pair.
Love them
I wish. I’d discovered these years ago , suffered with bad arch pain , leg pain , foot pain you name it for years , tired arch fit trainers , insoles etc always only happy when taken trainers off at night , these shoes are so comfortable, can’t feel a thing , so far no pain anywhere
Comfortable
A nice wide fitting and very soft all round. would not want to walk miles in them but thats a personal choice. I bought them for driving in my car, They are perfect for that.
Comfy
I just got a pair of these and I am absolutely in love with them. They are very comfortable and absolutely gorgeous! I think I’ll get another pair in a different colour!!!!
Great barefoot shoes at a great price.
I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes for a few years now and always struggling to find affordable options in the UK. Came across these and at first I thought too good to be true at such a great price. Ordered a pair yesterday and they arrived the following day with free delivery. First impressions are brilliant. Fantastic shoes at a great price. I cant say much for their durability yet but I’ll definitely be ordering more styles and colours.
I’m usually pretty consistent in shoe sizes but these are a little snug so I’ll be sizing up for my next order.
A quality shoe, at a budget price
I decided to get back into barefoot/minimalist running, after many years of just buying cheap simple running shoes, I originally bought vivo barefoot when they first come out many years ago, but now the price, is outrageous, fundamentally at the end of the day, why should a minimalist shoe cost so much, I took these shoes for a slow 10 mile run, at a 9.50 pace, having not run in barefoot for years, I had no problems, I woke up the next morning, bit stiff round my feet, but in the evening, back to normal, don’t be fooled, by more expensive brands, this is probably the best, the most important thing is a 0mm drop, stay cheap and cheerful.
Not well finished
These are very comfortable shoes, wide fit as described. What I found disappointing was the detail – the finishing is a bit rough; a couple of the metal eyelets on the inside aren’t properly flattened so they rub.
I’ve suffered with Plantar Fasciitis for many years and had always been advised to wear supportive shoes with non flexible soles so this is a tad radical for me!!
Anyway, after a ton of research I thought it worth a gamble as it actually makes sense that this should help. It’s early days for me yet having only owned them a week AND I’m only just back walking since surgery on a badly broken ankle BUT. A week in I have to say I’m super impressed!!
These are super comfortable to wear both inside and outside (the latter worried me as I’ve always found uneven or stony ground painful on my soles). I genuinely don’t feel I have these on! My toes are enjoying their new found freedom and I definitely feel more balanced by their liberation too which is good!! So much so I’m happy walking without the aid of my crutches whilst wearing these in the house which is a huge improvement considering I’ve been glued to my zimmer for the last 8 weeks!!
Hopefully these continue to aid my recovery! I will definitely be purchasing more in different colours as I am delighted with these!
Haven’t worn them in the wet yet but if the lack of waterproofing concerns you just give them a good old spray with waterproofing spray and I’m sure they’ll be fine
I’ve been considering these shoes for a while and after two days wearing them I’m so happy I bought them.
I am a female with wide feet and toes that have compacted over the years. I’ve been wearing Birkenstocks for the last couple of years (sandals in summer and their very expensive boots during winter) but have noticed problems with my foot arch when barefoot, which it would seem is caused by a weakened arch muscle when you wear Birkenstocks consistently (or so I’ve read).
I’ve worn my new barefoot shoes for two twelve hour work days and can’t believe how comfortable they are. Weirdly, although they are flat I don’t get the arch pain when wearing them. They seem durable and are actually quite warm, which I wasn’t expecting. I ordered my standard size 7 and they are a perfect fit. When I came home tonight I didn’t want to take them off as they feel as comfortable as slippers to me.
Really impressed and now want them in all the colours!
So comfortable
So comfortable , toes no longer pinched in like regular trainers, no longer have tendon pain which was being aggravated by other trainers. Non slip. Would suggest go half size up.
Will definitely be buying these again.
Basic, but impressive
I have to say I’m very impressed with these. I think they’re very comfy with a lot of padding on the base. Very wide toe which is why you buy these.
They are a mesh top so any heavy running or walking I’d probably avoid as there’s probably not much protection but overall I’m really happy and I actually want to buy another pair.
Not very comfortable at firs
The shoes themselves are great, but the edges of the tongue are very thick and nearly caused a blister when I first used them. They seem a bit more comfortable the more I wear them. I do not know if the heat from my feet are softening the edges of the tongue, or if my feet are just getting used to it.
A great fit and good for standing all day
This is my first pair of barefoot type footwear and it has definitely been an experience – especially in learning how to walk in them. The space in the toe box in these is great as is the all round general fit and comfort. I like to stand when working and my feet are no more tired than when wearing Nike Air or Adidas Ultraboost. The thing for me is that there is definitely a learning curve (which I am still going through) when going from walking in regular padded shoes to barefoot shoes. When I get it right, I can really feel muscles I’ve probably used very little when walking in the past. Otherwise, I’m slamming my heel into the ground when walking. Sticking with it for now and looking to buy a few other brands of barefoot shoe
Bibear barefoot shoes
I’ve had em for over two weeks and they are holding up for everyday use. I don’t know if walking on pavement is for everyone but I am enjoying the sensations of feeling the floor.
Some of the almost best shoes out there
I like these a lot.
I worked with a guy who told me about this brand, as i had Vivobarefoot, but they weren’t black, so not acceptable for work.
I bought these and i could tell the difference, but also, since both are barefoot shoes, they’ve both helped.
Obviously, with the cold weather, these aren’t really wearable since they’re made for warm weather.
However, the reason I’m giving them a 4/5 is because the heel part is not very good. You feel some pain after standing for a while.
In all honesty, I was really surprised at how much I adore these shoes! Been pondering on bare foots for a while, but the prices for many brands were too high for comfort for a trial. I will be purchasing for me again. I’d give a 7/10 for bare foot experience ( – 1= might aswell be in Tn’s – 10= barefoot). The comfort is ridiculous and I’d say fitting is precise, heavily cushioned around the back of the ankle, not so much of a sniff of rubbing. No tightness anywhere but feel secure. One thing I would say, these are not the best in wet terrain. They are not waterproof. They are however extremely breezy, if you stand still outside (especially in this weather) they may get chilly. These shoes have deffo got the Croc effect, now I’ve put them on my feet. That’ll be what I wear 90% of the time. Bottom line… Worth every penny.
Very comfortable wide toebox shoes
Student on a budget, what shall I say. Was looking for barefoots, these are just a perfect match of quality and price while not breaking the bank. Comfortable to wear and do quite well on the outside. Obviosly not waterproof but no body expects that from a meshed shoe I hope.
Very Comfortable Shoe
I have had these shoes for 3 months now and they are really excellent shoes (so much so that i’ve ordered 2 extra pairs).
They are extremely light and feel like slippers when on. They are ideal for driving and cycling, having a flat sole and also for summer walking on flat surfaces (one minor note of caution: these shoes have a very thin sole and are not suitable for walking on stony or gravel surfaces).
These shoes are very breathable but not water-proof, although they do dry very quickly.
Worth a try
Cost-effective way to try the “barefoot” feel. The soles are thin and flexible and you get quite a bit of feedback through your feet. Lost one star for comfort because there is a thick seam inside which chafes without socks. Fit was spot-in, just the right shape for my medium-wide feet, however the laces were too short for a secure bow knot so I had to get longer ones. That happens a lot with other brands too.
Although they feel very light and comfy, I was surprised to find they are much the same weight as all my other casual shoes. That said I think they would be a good choice as a spare pair for travel because they can be squashed to half the size of normal trainers.
Amazing value for money!
Really comfy and a great way to get into barefoot shoes. Even if you aren’t after barefoot shoes, but are after a wide toebox these do the job. I have “wide straight” feet with a low arch and these fit me so well. I got a 9 UK M and there is about a CM in front of my toe which is great. Those with very wide feet might want to check out the trail runners from Hobbibear instead. Those only tie up around the top of the foot so there is less pressure on the little toe.
Comfy, wide fit shoes
I like the fit, plenty of room for socks. Bought to wear indoors in winter on stone floor. Only problem is that the soles squeak loudly when I move around! Very annoying but hope this will calm down after use.
Look good. Sizing is spot on. Comfortable, but.....
I bought three pairs – black, grey, white. I wear them as casual shoes and to the gym. I have worn barefoot shoes before these, so I’m familiar with the concept. Certainly they have plenty of toe space, but maybe a little more padding underfoot than some purists would like.
I have worn them to the gym, walking a mile each way in the shoes, plus 5k on the treadmill and other exercises to follow. Absolutely no issue with running in them (I do not heel strike), but I find perhaps a little discomfort from the heel at the end of a longer walk.
As casual shoes without a lot of walking (pub, visiting friends, shopping etc), but allowing freedom in the toes, I think they are good value. Just don’t go trekking/hiking in them, perhaps. Running (without heel striking!) is also perfectly OK.
Comfortable enough but very lightweigh
Foot still a bit swollen from a bunion op, these are very comfortable and have been wearing them daily for a about a month. They are very lightweight and look flimsy but have proved sturdy enough so far. I hope not to have to use them for more than a few months, so long term durability is not a big issue. The real problem is the soles, which are very thin indeed and also make an alarming squeaking sound on some hard flooring. I put in some memory foam insoles and that helps, but not with the squeaking.
Very comfortable footwea
These aren’t full on barefoot shoes but they are really well made with a bit of padding on the soles and achilles area. I didn’t want to commit to an expensive pair of barefoot shoes and these are proving to be a good buy . I’ve yet to do a big walk in them but driving and walking around the office all day they seem lighter and more comfortable than my usual trainers it’s like wearing slippers to work.
4 stars for making barefoot shoes that actually fit the width of my feet. My feet are a UK women’s size 7 in length and 10.5cm in width. The tow box width is true to their chart and fits great. The issue I have, is that although the length is true to their chart size, they have put extra padding in the heal of the shoe which constantly forces your feet forwards into the end of the toe box as you walk, so for that reason I would either size up 1 size or cut the foam out when you get them. The other issue is they have put a piece of material in the top of the toe box to prevent your toe nails wearing away the mesh, which is fine, however, this takes away height in the toe box, so even without the insole my toes don’t have enough room above them. The insole I think is EVA which just makes my feet sweat so couldn’t leave that in, and the material stitched inside the shoe that you put your foot on, I found wears a hole in it very quickly and is also synthetic so makes your feet sweat. The laces aren’t long enough to do a proper bow if your feet are the width of the shoe, and the laces aren’t very grippy so they kept coming undone, so I’ve had to tie a tight double knot and just leave them loose. Your feet will get wet in these so not great for wet weather. Also, I’m not sure if they are pure gum rubber, as I’ve had a few slips in these and gum rubber is usually super grippy. Without the insole in, the heal feels fractionally raised, sloping down to the toe box. I know these are barefoot shoes, but for me as I can’t use the insole and I do most of my walking on tarmac; the outsole height is a bit thin for me, although you could glue and cut a soling sheet if you wanted extra support. For the price, and overall I would say its a good start, finally a company making a shoe that fits the width of my foot straight out the box is great. Maybe a cork/latex or cotton insole could be made in the future. And I would definitely pay the extra for a leather version of these to wear in the wet. It’s great that they look like regular trainers aswell.
