Joomra Women's Minimalist Trail Running Barefoot Shoes | Wide Toe Box | Zero ...

I got these when I couldn't find the same model of barefoot Merrell running shoes that I had before, chancing it that a much cheaper pair might be OK. Initially I didn't like them as much, I thought they were rubbing slightly on the outer side of one foot. (This is my larger foot which was as a result of a calcaneal fracture years ago). But having stuck with them, I now love them. I have wide feet, and can be anywhere between 6 and 7, but I ordered 6.5 and they are great (though 7 would probably have been fine too). I always wear them with trainer socks. They are so comfortable. I think the sole is more foot shaped than the old Merrells, which is good. The bottom is slightly thinner, I think, but still thick enough that stony paths are not hurting the bottoms of your feet. I do loads of stuff in these, from dog walking, to running, to long hilly hikes. No problems at all. Obviously they would not be great in very wet, muddy, or boggy conditions, but having said that, I got my feet soaked in them stepping in a bog on the moor top, and they didn't rub despite still having 2+ miles to go. When running, they will make you run toe to heel without thinking about it, which means your knees do not take as much impact. With having had a serious foot fracture and uneven posture for years, I really think barefoot shoes have helped me strengthen my bad foot, because you have to use your feet muscles more (sometimes consciously), and not be reliant on the buoyancy of regular trainers. The extra effort has helped me to even out my posture, and even up the size of that calf muscle in comparison to my other calf. Barefoot trainers typically have thinner soles than regular trainers, which means they will wear out quicker. Which means you will have to replace them more often. Which means that I'm happy with the lower cost of these, compared to Merrell's barefoot shoes. Having worn barefoot shoes now for the last 2 or 3 years, I wouldn't go back to normal trainers. I would be very happy to buy these again when the soles wear out. I would recommend, even if you only want them for slobbing around the house, they are really comfy! Also, I think they would be fine if you put them in the washing machine, though I've not tried that yet.

Omg so comfortable, lots of comments on where I got them from. I have osteo arthritis in feet and this does not aggregate my foot anymore than any other footwear, even on uneven surfaces. Somehow it is more comfortable over the odd stone etc. Love them. True to size.

So comfortable, really easy throw on shoes, I live in these

Well worth the money.

I bought these trail shoes to do my first 26 mile trail run. Really comfy and very secure with velcro strap.

I returned these as not made very well

Very comfortable for gym use and tennis. The flip side- probably not best for over pronation. Hopefully, the shoe will hold up. Good price. Great looks. Worth trying out.

Excellent value - look like $150 shoes.

Daughter loves these. Have ordered previously for myself.

Fit as they should. 9 yr old says they're comfy and he loves them

I have large feet, and I was having difficulty finding stylish shoes that if comfortably, until now! I am obsessed with these shoes! They are so comfortable, and breathable, and look amazing! Highly recommend for good quality, inexpensive, comfortable shoes!
