Fantastic shoe for the money at ~$40
I bought them originally as a hiking/trail running shoe, but I like them so much I went ahead and ordered another pair in all-black to use as my daily.Not as hardcore as my previous "barefoot/minimalist" shoes, there's a bit of give in the insole to provide just a touch of cushioning which mainly serves so you don't have to feel the tread under your foot with every step while retaining the wide toe box, zero drop, and low stack height I was looking for.Only shortcoming so far is the rubber used for the tread is not as soft/gummy as more expensive shoes so they don't perform as well on wet rocks, but for 1/3-1/4 of the price of a namebrand outsole its a worthy trade off and not noticeable in the dry.Haven't put enough trail miles on them to speak to their ultimate longevity, but I've already gotten my money's worth out of them and I'm not seeing any issue spots that would indicate they're going to break before I wear the tread out.

10/10 tip toe shoe
Like a second pair of feet. It’s really not that different from bear foot.Was litterly just sitting in my hotel room and looking at them in appreciation when I thought, “I should review them”Shoes used to be painful for me but through a combination of my own searching and mother’s I have been getting better shoes over the years until I found this brand.Support was nice and helped me advice me on their product stack. Most recently I got what I had in a half a size larger and it that was it. That was the last step to finding the perfect shoes.

For my braces and gym and drop foot to see how they go
I just received these shoes. Maybe like 30 minutes and I'm still trying to get the filling out of them but I'm going to wear them with my braces for my drop foot and then after without them to see if they feel comfortable to be able to use some two for the gym or walk

Review
Was very skeptical when purchasing. Very satisfied with purchase. These shoes are extremely comfortable. I use them as out and about shoes, probably wouldn’t use them for running or any other high impact activity. Toe box is big, plenty of space. Don’t even register their weight. Grip is average tos lightly above average, but does not like some floor cleaning products (neither do most shoes). I find something I like and keep it. Will these last me a long time, no probably not, but I will most likely be ordering additional pairs as they wear out.

Great minimalist shoes for the money!
I've been wearing these shoes almost daily for 4 months now. I've probably done 30+ miles of hikes in them on rocky, sharp, and loose trails at South Mountain in Phoenix. I've run probably 30-40 miles in them too. They're holding up great and still looking good. I've hosed them off a few times and air dried them in the sun. Nice wide toe box. They provide a bit of cushioning and protection from rocks, but they're definitely minimalist and have a lot of ground feel. I wore New Balance Minimus MT10V1's until they quite making them and these are a good replacement for me. I replaced the laces with elastic ones for easy slip on/off.

Might be worth a second try
There were a couple of things I liked and disliked about this shoe. I’m going to start with my likes. First I needed a shoe that was flat and stable to use for leg workouts and this definitely did the trick. Very stable shoe and comfortable. It is also a wide shoe so my foot felt good during my workouts.Now the dislikes…the shoes run big. I normally wear a 1/2 size smaller than what I bought and typically don’t have a problem. But in this case it was way too big. The second issue I had was the inside liner came apart in the shoe after a couple of weeks. With that and the over size it was like top liner keeps getting pulled down making the she almost not wearable.

Great
Fantastic grip with these bad boys! Definitely wide enough with zero rise as advertised. As for the fit, I usually wear 11.5, so I went with size 12 and they fit perfect. My foot isn’t tight nor is it swimming around because of all the room. Probably will summit Everest with these on.

Anatomical fit
The fit is phenomenal. What a relief to find a shoe shaped like my foot. On the first hike i could feel my feet articulating unlike in any other shoe i own. I hope more major shoe manufacturers will start to produce shoes on whatever last or mold was used to create these. I can't speak to the durability yet and i'm not expecting much given the lightweight construction, but the price will be justifiable if they last even a short time. I like the zero drop but would also consider something with a little more cushion and a slight drop.
