Barefoot Shoes Women Men Hiking Water Shoes Wide Toe Box Zero Drop

Love these shoes. I have bought 2 pairs in the past from Hike Footwear, and paid $70 a piece for them!! These are the exact same shoes, EXACTLY! I paid around $26. I am 74 years old, and I have always hated the clunky thick soled heavy athletic shoes that are so popular. These are virtually weightless, you can feel the floor under your feet, I feel much safer in them from falling. I do buy some sole inserts to put in which make them a little more cushiony without loosing the effect of weightless ness and barefooted ness. I do walk around 7500 steps a day just for an example of comfort. They do fit fairly true to size, but because there is a wide toe box, I would recommend sizing down if you are on the cusp of of size.

AMAZING!! I purchased a size 7 In women’s , I’m normally a 7-7.5 but figured I’d be wearing these barefoot so a 7 would work and YES PERFECT!! I do wear a medium in rainbow sandals and I’m right at the edge of the medium. Overall these were very comfy and easy to clean the sand out!! And also stayed really white after taking them to the beach multiple times on my trip ! I had already worn them 2 times in the ocean on our trip in these photos! I walked a bit in them barefoot and wet and was FINE!! They are snug and not in a bad way! They are adjustable!!

I waited before posting a review, wanted to wear the shoes for a month or so. I LOVE THESE SHOES! They are very comfortable. I like how they perform when changing terrain when I’m out and about. I wear them to the gym, absolutely perfect for that. So far, they’ve been very durable. The sole seems to be very well-made. They are cute shoes. I was surprised that people noticed them and asked me questions about them. I will buy another pair, possibly in another color – but I like the black a lot. I worried about plantar fasciitis and lack of a good strong arch support. I have had absolutely no foot pain. My balance is better when wearing these shoes. They are also super easy to put on. Love them!!!!!

I bought these because I had heard that Barefoot shoes were good for knee pain. This particular brand was inexpensive so I thought I'd give them a try just to see how they fit and if they would work for me. When I say "OMG", I mean it! Within 2 days of wearing them I was able to go up and down stairs with almost no pain in my knees. Before that I had to go up and down one step at a time because the pain was so bad. Not even kidding you. I am super pleased with the way they fit, they are nice and light for the summer months, and they wash and dry easily. I am giving 4 stars because I will tell you that you will feel every rock or stick that you step on, so I'm not sure that they would be good for someone who does a lot of hiking in the woods, but for flat and smooth surfaces, you'd really never know you were wearing shoes. I wore them on vacation last week and we did a lot of walking, and my legs and feet were absolutely fine. I highly recommend these and I am definitely going to buy a few more pairs of different colors.

I'm surprisingly pleased with these shoes. Very lightweight, comfy, a little wider and a bit cushioned. There's a slight arch lift. I purchased specifically for a new walking pad as "indoor only" shoes. These are hiking shoes, although I don't hike..they are very nice for the walking pad. I usually can't buy a shoe without trying them on but an 8.5 fits perfectly and that's the size I typically wear. Amazon usually recommends a 9 or higher but I don't go by that suggestion as they're too big. Btw, these shoes come shrink wrapped. I reached out to customer service before opening because I wasn't sure I could return them if they didn't fit. (You CAN open the packaging and return them). The only con is the decorative color on the shoes. The picture shows a pink on the white but mine are a funky orange color. I'll keep them regardless. I paid about $21.00 on sale but noticed they are lower priced from other sellers. I would purchase these shoes again!

These shoes look real cheap. The mesh or plastic looking overlay is just a sticker. These shoes fit at the heel and then they flare out towards the toes in a duck like shape. They also run short in length for their size. I will keep these just to wear in the pool for short periods of time. Don't know how they make them look so nice for photos but they are not nice when you get them. They arrived quickly after I ordered them. I got the pink ones. I'm usually an 8.5 and I get a 9 in running shoes for extra room. These don't come in a 9 for whatever crazy reason. I then ordered the 8.5 because I figured a close fit would be fine for swimming. They press a little on the ends of my toes.

So I took these shoes on my week long trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan. I am very much the type to not wear shoes at home, bare foot most of the time inside and outside. We hiked all over, beaches, mountains, trails. We hiked 13 miles at pictured rocks in one day, and these shoes held up to everything!!!!!! Again, I am bare foot all the time so I enjoyed that it felt like I had nothing on my feet. It stopped any rocks or tree roots/sticks from hurting my feet while proving some grip while on rocks and steep hills. If you need arch support or more cushion on the bottom of your feet, these are not for you. I wore just these shoes the whole trip and they are still in great shape. They are very water shoe like, you can go from being in the water and then climbing on rocks and still have grip, which is something I was really looking for. My husband said multiple times that he should have listened to me and got a pair too. I will also point out, if you are wet and in the sand, expect to fill up with sand just as any other shoe would. If you take it off quick and dump it out most of the sand will fall out. I found it easier to do that then let them dry over night and shake out the remaining sand. It really collects under the sole and in the top mesh part of the shoe. Once it was dry, I found it easier to remove the sole and shake them out.

Loving these so far. If you want a lightweight, breathable, flexible shoe and don’t want to spend a lot of money, these are great. I bought the white with black stripes. They also have a little sparkly silver threading through the white fabric that I wasn’t expecting, but it’s not obnoxious. You can’t really see it unless you’re out in the sunlight. These are not Hike Brand but they appear to be very close replica. I wanted to try a barefoot shoe for a while but didn’t want to spend much money on something that looks essentially like a water shoe. I really like them. Only 4 stars at this point because I don’t know how well they hold up with long use. If you’re looking for cushiony shoes with all kinds of structure these are not it. If you want something that lets your feet feel and lets you balance naturally instead of conforming, these are great. They really do feel almost barefoot, flex in any direction you need them to. They do not have any significant arch support but that hasn’t been an issue for me as I don’t have high arches. I wear them around the house, in the yard, and out around town and when working out. I like being able to walk and move comfortably very similar to being barefoot, while still having some protection and added traction. They are also very breathable. If you’re looking for something to keep your feet warm, you should probably invest in wool socks. They are not a step in. If you have balance problems or can’t bend over, you’ll want to sit down to put them on. I have not worn them out in wet places because I don’t want wet feet (they really do have drain holes in the soles). I would not wear these on really rough terrain (they’re not hikers, folks -don’t expect that from them!). I’m not a runner but I don’t think I’d want to use them as a running shoe, either. One issue-you have to get used to the toes being a little further out there. I have to pay attention going up stairs because I have a tendency to catch the toes going up - and I did fall up the stairs (not down) once in these. Maybe I bought a size bigger than I should. I do have about a half inch of space above my toes but they’re not so big that I feel like I need a smaller size. Note I also bought a knockoff of another highly rated barefoot shoe brand and those I returned. Ugly shoes that didn’t feel good on my feet. These “Hike” however are great.

It was suppose to be delivered next day as Prime then they changed to 2 day and then it said 17 days but was delivered in 14 days. I actually needed them when ordered in 3 days that is why I ordered them. The product itself I was going to return because I didn’t need them anymore but I tried them anyways and I do really like them. They are comfortable and my legs don’t feel so heavy anymore. The product is good but if you need them fast then don’t order them delivery is not as advertised.

With a couple of feet injuries including a broken pinky toe over the past few years my feet have been extra sensitive walking barefoot; on hardwood and ceramic is especially painful. I've always been wearing some sort of inside rubber sold slip on which helps but I was really curious about these. I usually wear 8 1/2 but ordered 9 1/2 as recommended which was a good idea as there is a little bit of extra room in the toe area And even room for Dr. Scholls insert if I want! I have white and lavender for inside and I just ordered a second pair of black and silver for outside in the yard and beach!

Good

These shoes are being advertised as BAREFOOT shoes (which is why I bought them) but are actually WATER SHOES???? They have a draw string NOT shoe laces!! False advertising…

These shoes are cheap and the sole is not giving. Only to wear at the beach…
