Oranginer Men's Barefoot Shoes Big Toe Box Cross Training Minimalist

Im a shoe guy. Always have been, always will be. I own 4 different pair of high dollar Minimalist "barefoot" shoes. I just went out and grabbed these from the mailbox hoping they would fit and be comfortable. I normally buy overseas shoes a half size larger, but since Amazons advice was to buy "same/normal" , I did. I'm still in awe as to why these low priced shoes fit better, are more comfortable and STILL live up to the quality standards as my other expensive ones. You wouldnt think that with the price of these and the diff. colors offered, they would be everything you would hope for and expect when it comes to quality, fit and size, but to top it all off they are the most comfortable I own by far. Im glad I took the chance after Im sure many of you as I have, been burned by an inferior product and not represented accurately. But .... Ive gotta say .... Ill be buying another and maybe another pair if these hold up fairly well. If you like the wide, open toe box and no heel to toe drop like myself, these are a great value for your money. They also have more cushion in the insole as my other styles have. I wear steel toed boots throughout the week and these are gonna feel great to slip on after work and the day is done. Update: Still holding together we'll since my purchase. I've got them filthy with having them on constantly and need a darker pair. Lol. Simple Green cleans them well. Have not broken down or lost support on the soles. I'm ordering again. Black. Update to the update: A year and a half later ... My soles are wearing through. Put alot of miles on these. Ordering another pair. Still as comfortable as the day I grabbed them from the mailbox. I've worn them alot ... Got them filthy ... Put ALOT of miles in them. Still love em. My go to shoe still. Just now need another pair! Bought a pair for my son soon after receiving these too. I've read alot of reviews mentioning how goofy these look ... Im 52 years old and these have been kidded about a lot as my "bigfoot" shoes. Well ... I've always thought bigfoot was a badass. Im not sacrificing my comfort over style. You should t either.

I’ve been wearing these for a few days now and overall, I’m very happy. The shoes are comfortable, flexible, and give a great ground feel – exactly what I was looking for in a minimalist, barefoot-style design. The materials feel breathable and lightweight, and they held up nicely across different surfaces like pavement, sand, gravel, and natural trails. However, one important note for sizing: My foot is exactly 26 cm long, and I ordered EU size 41 (US Men’s 8). While the fit was okay, I found the toe box a bit too snug, with my big toe lightly touching the top. If you're between sizes or prefer extra toe freedom (as barefoot shoes usually encourage), I recommend going up a size – EU 42 would’ve likely been perfect for me. Bottom line: Awesome shoe for the price – just consider sizing up if you’re close to the next size.

I purchased these to replace my 20 yr old New Balance MT trail. NB has gotten way out of hand when it comes to their minimus line of shoes. They all have moon shoe soles on them that don't belong on a barefoot shoes. I trail ran in these for the first time today. The construction on these is just as good as the NB. Toe box is nice and wide. The toe protector comes up over the top of the shoe. On the NBs these started to separate at that spot. These shoes are heavier than the NB. They have padding on the inside near the mouth of the shoe. NBs don't have any which Isn't necessarily a bad thing. The sole is also thicker but doesn't hinder the barefoot feel too much. My only "big" gripe is that the tounge should be sewn in place. I found them to flop to once side or the other. They seem to be a pretty decent shoe considering they are a third of the price of the NBs. Time will tell how well they hold up.

Took a flyer on these shoes and have been quite happy with them. They are well built and have held up well. They are heavier than you would expect, but overall that's a good thing as the sole is durable and well made. Good barefoot feel but enough cushion so walking on hard surfaces is comfortable. These are good for walking and gym workouts, though probably not enough side support for more active sports. The sole looks like it has toe compartments, but that is just cosmetic.

Best barefoot shoes ever. Fit well , comfortable lots of toe room

So I needed a new pair of workout shoes at the office. I've been getting back into Crossfit and I didn't want to be limited to my New Balance running shoes. When these shoes popped up, I thought they were a pair of unmarked Merrells but the $32 price point seemed unusual. I bought them anyways to try them out. Delivery arrived a few days sooner than expected so thats a plus. I opened the box and these shoes were in a shrink-wrapped plastic bag. Then I came to realize these shoes were an off-brand that I have never heard of (oran-gine-er?) The design and color scheme is kinda cool but they seem like a cheap, chinese-made knockoff shoe. I also think the term 'minimalist' means different things to different folks. The sole itself is fairly thick rubber that wraps up and over the toes. Kinda looks like a cross of the old Five Finger minimalist shoe and a Merrell Trail Glove. Not many minimalist shoes I have owned have a removable sole insert though. I normally buy size 12 in athletic shoes for expansion but these still feel slightly small just walking around the office and house in them. The heel cup is padded like a pair of basketball shoes. Not saying it wasn't comfortable on my first 30 minute run with them but also a little false advertising. Parts of the upper are made with what feels like a 1mm neoprene. I thought my feet were going to sweat like a whore in church when working out. All-in-all, not a terrible first outing with them. Ran in some uneven terrain but mostly pavement. Didn't feel much of the road on the bottoms of my feet. Toes felt like they were getting a little squished but I'll take them out for a few more rounds. Hopefully these stretch a little. Even though it was 35 degrees out this morning, I was pleasantly surprised that my socks were not drowning in sweat. Finally, sole tread. Though it looks a little aggressive, I would not trust them on slick mornings. That fidget spinner design on the balls of the feet and heel look cool in the pictures but are not really functional for grip. I'll give these shoes the good 'ol college try. If this specific pair don't work out, I'm contemplating on buying a new pair 1/2 size larger since they are dirt cheap for shoes.

Love these things! People always think I'm just wearing socks & it feels like I am! They're so comfortable and easy to slip on. I wear them Everytime we go out beside church or work.

Just received my 2nd pair, as I had to send the 1st pair back after following another review that suggest to go up a size. That 1st pair was like a pair of Ronald Mc's shoes. I have not worn them out or done anything, so take this review with a grain of salt. That said, the fit on this 2nd pair (size 11) is a bit more appropriate. So, I'll give my initial impression. I bought another pair of "barefoot minimalist" shoes from an ad (pretty sure I can get the same things from that cheap site that starts with a "T") and I really like how thin and light they are. The Oranginer pair is definitely not that. These (the elastic band, "easy" slip-on) are built more like a normal tennis shoe with the cushioning and such for the body of the shoe. They are much heavier than the other pair I'm currently wearing, as well. I was hoping that the Oranginer shoes would be light and feel like they have good breathability, the same as the other pair. The fit, from a heel-to-toe is much more appropriate compared to the first pair I purchased (and subsequently returned). However, the toe box, for being advertised as "wide" feels anything but. They give a M-size feel to me. As I mention in the headline, they feel heavy and "clunky." My regular pairs of tennis shoes are lighter. The tread on them is pretty amazing, though. And I do suspect that they would be good for hiking (I don't do that thing here in flat Tampa, FL). But I would also think they sole should be a little thinner/lighter for better feel of a trail/rocks. I believe these would also be great for working out in, especially for those who like to do their resistance training barefooted. In spite of the heavy, clunky feel to them, I do feel they are nicely constructed and should hopefully last a fair time. As a note, I wear a 10.5 4E to 11.5EE, depending on the brand. I went up to a 12 based on another review, despite knowing I should've chosen an 11. So, if you like a more snug fit, go with the size (or half size if it's available) smaller than what you typically wear. In the 11, I still have a small space left between my toe and the toe box.

Literally, the first day of receiving these, so I may update once they’re more worn in. Motivation for buying them was for gym weight training. Please treat this as first impression: Slightly heavier than I expected, but not to any detriment. They feel substantial, so my feeling is they’re a hybrid between barefoot and a running shoe. I have wide feet and I’m really happy with the fit. Zero packaging experience, just literally arrived in a plastic clear sealed bag. The elastic draw laces are thin. Effective, but bit concerned they might fail in time. That said, they have a clever Velcro end to prevent the loose send from flapping. I have size 12 up feet, and I’ve gone for 48’s, which fit really well. I’d say the heel strike isn’t great, but I appreciate that’s kind of the point of barefoot running, that you don’t heel strike. Feels like good integration of fabric to rubber sole. In short, really happy with them. Hoping they serve me well.

Amo mis Oranginer, sobre todo en este color son muy cómodos para caminar, al tener una suela flexible dan bastante retroalimentación sobre el suelo a los pies, la parte frontal del zapato es anda y permite que los dedos de los pies tengan espacio evitando la formación de juanetes y la atrofia progresiva de los dedos del pie. Tengo otros zapatos descalzos pero estos son mis favoritos.

Great

These are minimalist style shoes styled to look like barefoot shoes. They work well for everything except for wet grass, boggy ground, etc. I got a pair that were about my exact foot size and they fit better than another pair I ordered one size up (my "standard" size to avoid buying shoes too small to be wearable). I liked the styling of these better than the competing brand selling an almost identical shoe. If the price is right, a very competent budget shoe. Bought them earlier in the year (when they were cheaper) and have observed no obvious faults with their sturdiness.

I am fond of Merrell's trail gloves, but they tend to be a bit expensive and too colourful. It's getting difficult to find a plain dark coloured one. These are much cheaper, and feel more "barefoot", including the "Vibram 5 finger"-esque look (which I am honestly not too fond of. But they are very comfortable to walk on. They're also better ventilated and feel cooler. They are more cushiony than the Merrell's trail gloves when walking around. I don't run in them, so that's fine. I use them for office work, where I need to sit in an office chair and move it around. The fantastic grip is great for this purpose, as I hate it when I'm trying to push the chair forward and backward while seated and am unable to get a good grip on the floor to do this easily. The fact that the soles curve around the heel and the toebox only makes it better.
