Best weight lifting shoes
It’s a flat shoe perfect for weight lifting. The toe is also wide giving you a natural foot stance. The value is there and you definitely get a true bare foot shoe feeling. I’ve owned a pair for over a year and it held up great. I throw them in the washer and dryer without worry because of how affordable they are. I wouldn’t run in these because of the lack of support but for weight lifting it’s the perfect shoe! They also have good grip better than my running shoes. I hope they never stop making these!

Pre-run review, updated
UPDATE: I put a few miles in on the treadmill today. These felt great! My toes didn't feel cramped at all. I'm looking forward to trying them out on the road. I'm raising my review from four stars to five because, so far, these shoes are just as good, if not better (because the toe box is perfect), than shoes I own that were triple the price.Original: I haven’t run in these yet, but I wanted to provide some info to help you with your decision on what size to get. I wear size 11.5 wide in most shoes. I can sometimes go up to 12 and rarely down to 11. I ordered these in both size 11 and 12.First, the 12s were too long even though the size chart said to allow up to half an inch for wiggle room. That’s too much; my heel was slipping and no amount of lace-up magic could fix it. Speaking of lacing up, these shoes lack the extra hole that EVERY other running shoe I’ve seen has that is needed for lace-lock.Next, the 11s are just a little tight at the tips of my toes, but I’m hoping they will stretch a bit. The width is perfect. I would suggest if you wear a half size like me, to go down a half size.They feel pretty comfortable. The quality seems decent enough, especially at this price point.I’ll be back with an update after I get a couple runs in.

Can’t beat for the price but needs a little help
First off I have been loving these for about 2 weeks now. Exactly what I was looking for: affordable, wide toe box, zero drop but with some midsole cushion. I also tried the converse like hitops which were trash in comparison.Out of the box they felt decent, but after wearing them for a few days I could feel my feet getting sore due to the poor insoles. Only thing there is a thin foam piece that does very little. I replaced them with some insoles I bought for some old shoes I no longer wear, and wow they took this shoe to the next level. Comfort is as good as it can get standing on my feet for 10+ hrs.Now the minor downsides. First off as mentioned the insoles. The insoles I put in there are as much or more than the shoes themselves. I’ll come back to this in a bit and why I don’t mind. The major flaw seems to be build quality. I don’t see these lasting too long. I see the outsole separating before the shoe is worn out. You can actually see the glue and how they are attached. In fact the toe on my left foot is already stating to separate a little.With that said the benefits outweigh the cons. I don’t mind using the nice insoles 1) because o already have them laying around and 2) they’ll last longer than a pair of shoes, so I can just reuse them. Yes these shoes will probably wear out faster than I’d like but at their price I could buy 3x these versus one pair of Altra Lone Peaks.I’ll probably still invest in some lone peak hikers for when I want something nicer and a mid top, that way I can switch between them and make them both last longer.

Toes box wide enough to accommodate splay correctors
After reading many reviews, took the plunge and bought my first pair of barefoot style shoes (these). I am determined to start correcting my misaligned toes, failed bunion surgery and painful arches that have ruled my life for too long . I am going from quality, leather, supportive New Balance...which is the only shoes I can wear most of a day without unbearable pain....to these shoes. I bought on Amazon without ever having tried on or seen in person so I expected a fail. Most shoes look wide enough but once on they are generally too tight or I can feel everything I step on. These shoes came wrapped in sealed plastic but just in an amazon box, no shoe box. See the made in China label. They feel light weight and pretty cheap but they are cleanly made....no sloppy glue, wierd seams or mismatched colors. I had to open the laces as wide as they would go but once on, they were easy to lace up normally. My 8.5 4E wide ladies foot fit perfectly in this 8.5 shoe with plenty of toe box room and height for my thick feet. My toes have about 3/4" extra space from the nose. The fit is surprisingly good and the shoes are comfortable. Then I put socks on which took up a little more room than I would like. I then put my toe spreaders on plus socks and the fit is still comfy but I would get a half size bigger if wearing toe separators with these shoes. So far I am very happy I did not waste the $45 ish these cost, however, I've only owned them for 15 minutes so I can't yet say how they feel on my arches after wearing out in normal life. I hear it takes time to retrain feet to align and build muscle to support arches properly.In the first week or 3, my feet didn't hurt and were not sore from suddenly wearing shoes with zero support, but they were tired. I think this is evidence that my feet and calf muscles are retraining. I am very happy with this purchase.Update.... several months later and my feet still don't hurt. In fact, after a whole day my feet are tired but not painful as they were when wearing support shoes. My PF doesn't flare up with these shoes. I am so surprised that I am not in more pain. My toes have not straightened at all though and I am still not fully used to the thinness of the soles.These shoes still look good and I wear them daily. I wash the white pair of shoes in the sink with Dawn and warm water and they are still pretty white. Another bonus....I don't tie or untie my shoes, I just force them on because I am usually in a hurry and the back of the shoe hasn't broken down at all. In fact, both pairs still look very nice.Hope this helps someone.

Among the best sneakers I've worn -- for ANY price!
Wide toe box!!! Great value!!! Super comfortable!!!Lightweight, good looking, stable, comfortable (I use my own sole inserts).One tiny complaint/suggestion: On the inside of the heel, the lining has a small opening/hole. It is not clear why, but over months of wear, that opening expands, and the foam padding comes out. I will buy another pair and try to patch that hole before wearing them.
