Review: Forget the expensive minimalist shoes - save your money and at least try these. - I've been an amateur running enthusiast for around 15 years. About 10-years-ago, I made the switch to barefoot (zero-drop) running. I was convinced of the data coming out of places like Harvard and University of New Hampshire. You have to realize that decades of million (and now billion) dollar ad campaigns and athlete sponsorships have muddied the waters of science to sell more sneakers. No running shoe is going to provide as much shock absorption or rebound as my calve muscle. I've run half-marathons on a whim and sustained literally no injuries that I can think of in years of running. Anyway, you're here looking at these so you're probably already onboard or willing to try. I've used several varieties of vibrams for years. They don't hold up. The fit is tough. The toe slots are unnecessary. Just get these. They last, they feel EXACTLY the same as vibrams, and are a fraction of the cost, and already have lasted three times longer. I've got everyone in my family from my younger sister who runs to adopt them to my brother, to my mom who has balance issues and LOVES them. CONS: - UPDATE: As others report, the sole material is very soft, to the point where it begins to *stick* to the treadmill or to the asphalt or get torn up in rocks as it begins to gum and melt with any sort of outside heat or friction. Because of this, they tend to wear out a bit sooner than they otherwise would. The material seems to degrade faster over time and my experience is that I get about 3-4 months of daily use out of these before they've got lumps on the bottom or outright holes. If they can use a slightly harder and temperature-resistant material, it would go a very long way to improving these. - They are NOT very breathable. If you run in hot climates, expect your feet to warm up fast and to sweat quite a bit. It seems my feet have adapted after a couple months of use. I hope in future iterations they incorporate something a bit more breathable on the top of the foot. - They might be slightly inefficient at sprinting paces since you can't tighten them down, but they still fit pretty snugly for my needs. Maybe they can widen the toe box slightly which would allow to go a half-size down. In any case they still feel snug like a sock. If you're concerned about efficiency loss I recommend perhaps getting "grip socks" that have rubber grips on the bottom to wear in conjunction with these. - Wash them frequently, for because they're not breathable and don't dry out they are a bacterial haven and smell quite quickly like a used sock. - The cuff of the sock (the top part above the ankle) loses its elasticity after a couple months of use. Be careful not to over-stretch. Hope they can strengthen this more. - Style: Well, some find them kind of neat and some think they're a little odd. I actually don't mind them but I'm not at the stage of my life where fashion is my priority. Overall assuming they fall within this similar price, I will continue to purchase this product.
Review: Exceptional Shoes - Extraordinary yoga shoes. • high quality and well made. • so comfortable - like being a kid and waking barefoot but with protection on the bottom • excellent winter shoes for barefoot runners •perfect for yoga • wear year round! I wear these even in winter and in the rain. • ZERO DROP SHOES - read up on barefoot walking and running. Especially if you have foot or ankle problems/injuries, barefoot walking can heal them. We use different muscle groups when we run barefoot vs in tennis shoes. With conventional shoes we heel strike with each stride, barefoot running we're on the balls of our feet the way nature intended and we've evolved for millions of years. Research "barefoot running." You must ease into it and the best way to start is by walking in these yoga shoes then slowly begin adding distance running in them. If you blister you're transitioning too fast. Healthiest thing you'll ever do for your feet. • FELT TOUCH - You can still get a bit of natural feel through these like, while protected, you can feel if you're walking on gravel. Our feet are sensory feedback machines. We're meant to walk barefoot because our feet are designed to give our bodies information about our environment. What are ground conditions? dry? slippery? gravel? It instinctively tells you're body how fast or slow you should be walking and prevents injuries. •Grounding and getting those healthy negative electrons from the earth only happens when we're barefoot with no rubber blocking our contact with the ground - unfortunately these shoes block that but they're easy to take off if you want to earth for a bit. •Washable: You can throw them in the washer and they hold up. Tip: if you have stinky feet put some Oxy powder with hot water in each bootie, shake and let sit for an hour or overnight before washing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be worn on a beach?**
A: Yes,This shoes cover the entire foot and have rubber soles. These features are essential for protecting your feet from hot surfaces and sharp objects, such as rocks and shells. Full-coverage, slip-on styles help guard your skin from the sun while keeping sand off your feet.

**Q: How much do they weigh?**
A: Size 8 mens pair weighs 12.6 oz

**Q: Since this is a narrower toe box, Do these allow for anatomical toe spread and foot contact?**
A: We bought it to so my husband's feet would not slip when he stands up from his wheelchair. He has late-stage Parkinson's. The bottom doesn't stretch at all, and the top part barely stretches at all. The entire sock is very tight and takes a serious effort to get it on and back off. So, it does what we need, but there is definitely no toe wiggle room.

**Q: Had no tags or instructions. How to wash and dry these?**
A: It used to be shoe makers always said "don't wash" and some still do. But adhesives have improved vastly over time, and I wash all my shoes periodically. Note this doesn't work well on top-load washers because the shoes tend to float and not really circulate, and can get jammed with the center agitator. It's one of the things I love love love about my front-loader, the shoes come out clean. Just remove insoles (which some sock and minimalist shoes don't have).

*by J***Y on August 20, 2025*

But this, because of a review I read, and they were absolutely right. These are fantastic shoe socks. I wear them all the time, especially when I go camping. I used to bring other shoes when I went camping. Now I only bring these.
