relxfeet Men's Barefoot Shoes Minimalist Cross-Trainer Shoes Wide Toe Walking Shoes Zero Drop Sole Trail Running Sneakers

I switched to minimalist shoes 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. Something everyone should know with all minimalist shoes is that you will need to actually learn how to properly walk. It took me many months to change my poor walking style. I say this because the comfort of any minimalist shoes depends on your ability to walk properly. If you can, then the shoes are phenomenally comfortable. If you cannot, then they will feel terrible.I started my minimalist journey with Xero Brand Shoes. They were a solid shoe, but at $150 per pair it was costly to purchase every few months. My work requires me to walk 10-15 miles a day, so naturally I wear shoes out quickly. I decided to give these shoes a try at 1/6th of the price.I’ve been using them for a month. I wasn’t sure that I liked the style at first, but I’ve grown to like it. My work prefers all black shoes and these are all uniformly black. I couldn’t ever completely find that in another Brand. The comfort is, dare I say, better than Xero Brand. I still have some Xero’s that I cycle through daily along with these, but I honestly look forward to the days I get to wear these. The fit is snug but comfortably so. They are extremely easy to slip on and off because of the stretch material. They are very breathable. It’s been a bit over a month that I’ve had them and so far the durability is holding up. I pretty much immediately bought a second pair after I first wore them, because they exceeded my needs and expectations.I’m very happy with these shoes. I will be buying these exclusively from now on. I would encourage anyone to give them a shot…IF you know how to walk properly.

I can't speak to the durability just yet, as I've only had these for a short while, but these are the most comfortable barefoot shoes I've ever purchased. They have an incredibly wide toebox which fits my wide feet perfectly, the style is formal enough for me to wear as work shoes to my office job, and the tread is very grippy even in the rain. Not to mention that these are relatively cheap compared to the competitors. I also am a fan of the memory foam insole that comes with the shoe. It has just enough cushion that makes these shoes comfortable enough to wear for a very long time. I like these shoes so much I purchased the brown ones after receiving the black ones.Warning: the color of the brown in the picture is WRONG. They are a normal brown color, not that tanish brown. I'll update my review with a photo of the brown ones later for a true visualization of the color.

these fit great for my wide feet. they are pretty comfortable. i use them for just doing things around the house or town. i dont think they would do well on trail runs or hiking as the sole is very thin, i can feel the sharp pieces of gravel beneath my feet.

Shoes feel very comfy right from the get go - lots of wiggle room in the toes, as you might imagine :)Sizing guide seems pretty spot on. Be sure to measure you foot. Measured mine to around 10.2 or thereabouts, and thought about getting the size 8s, but went with the 8.5 in the end which is shorter than my normal shoe size, but the spacing in these seems pretty spot on. Can't speak to their longevity yet, but I principally got them for treadmill use, so hopefully they'll last a good while.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked these barefoot shoes because they came in half sizes. Fit:I have wide feet, particularly in the toe area. The wide toe box is perfect. The shoes are insanely comfortable.They're lightweight and they breathe! Even on hot asphalt in today's 112F weather, my feet don't get sweaty and swampy. Are they available with a steel toe? ​Durability:​Lightweight:Don't know about durability yet. At the price, I can afford a couple of pairs every year.

These shoes made me skeptical. All I thought was that there's no way these could be comfortable for paying 35 bucks, but I couldn't not try them and at worst they would become house shoes since I don't wear those super often anyways. I will say that they are not padded in the soles in the way I expect from most shoes, but I suppose that comes with the territory of never experiencing zero drop soles before now. Also noting now that I'm a heavy set individual and will likely come back to edit this in the future with an update regardless of good or bad. There IS, however, padding at the heel of the shoe which gives it a better fit at the back than you would expect. The elastic opening allows for a snug fit once the shoes pop on, and it makes for ease of sliding them on and off especially with the thick band of material at the back for you to use to put it on as opposed to the small loop/tab of material most other shoes have.These shoes fit well but they're a touch longer. I typically order a 9 in mens (which is labeled as a 42 on these pair of shoes just in case anyone wasn't aware before they are received), and the toe box is much roomier/wider in these than my Altra Torin 5's. Big plus for me personally. Just the small issue of them being slightly longer leaves extra room at the big toe, but it surprisingly hasn't led to any discomfort like I've had in the past and may even accidentally act as a shield. I think if I sized down even a half, it might squeeze the sides of my foot closer to the opening of the shoe a bit more than I would be comfortable with.Additionally, I could actually wear these shoes without any laces at all and they stay on perfectly fine for me thanks to the elastic type opening. It looked a bit strange though, so instead I decided to do the "hidden laces" technique with my pair. It was slightly tricky to do such a technique due to only having 4 holes on each side. Since nothing really needs to be tied, I just made sure they were neat and just snug for each line and then knotted the two ends together and hid them between the rubber outside (which is where the laces go through) and the fabric part of the shoe. This ended up perfect because it doesn't cause discomfort on the inside of the shoe with laces being felt, and the small bulk from the bound up laces that pushes into the fabric on the inside of the shoe actually gives it a slightly more secure feeling.Overall, my early 2 days of impression is overall a surprising approval. These shoes are just comfortable enough, and the fact that they're only 35 dollars is going to make me buy more of them. They also feel like the perfect gym shoe, but I could always be wrong with that. I HIGHLY recommend getting these shoes if you're in a pinch with money, need new shoes, and aren't afraid to try the wide toe box. You won't be able to wear the industry standard shoes without massive discomfort after you start wearing these because of said toe box. Not sure yet if I would run in these but maybe I'll try it at some point soon and provide an update.
