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

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.

I've tried on a handful of styles of this type of shoe for the purpose of lifting weights in a flat, nearly barefoot — and most especially cool — shoe, and these are a cut above all the rest I've tried, which were all promptly returned. These have a very light and flexible rubber outsole with a very elastic and breathable mesh upper. Because of this there are no weird pressure points anywhere, as is the case with every other ill-fitting analog I've ever tried on. These are just fantastic — comfort, fit, breathability, all A+ as far as I'm concerned. I can't vouch for their durability for the purposes of running because I don't run; I simply dislike the feeling of heavy sneakers when lifting. I would just work out in crew socks if I were allowed to do so in a public gym. If I were to guess, these might last a couple months tops in a rigorous running regime. Then again, a pair of Merrells for $75 or so may get you scarcely more use than this. For my money these might be worth a shot for a runner. I do see a bit lacking in the fusion of the toe cap with the mesh upper, which shouldn't be a problem since, as mentioned, there is a good fit here with a ton of flexibility to eliminate the tension points around the outsole's border which wears out shoes. Almost all sneakers and trainers have historically been ill-shaped to levels of idiocy that are incomprehensible to me, especially Nikes, so the emergence of minimalist and zero-drop shoes in recent years is a good thing. Such a style of shoe isn't meant 'last' I suppose but serve a purpose. It's just important that you get the right size. I for example intended to wear these in black with normal black crew-length socks with a bit of thickness, so I went with 12.5 which is my upper size. This is an outstanding fit and feel as compared with the Converse I'd been wearing for lifting — Converse have really gone to **** over time, and yet they remain $60 or so. But ANYWAY, were I to buy another pair this summer to be worn with the invisible nylon socks I'd probably go down a half size to 12 to prevent heel slippage (I have a slightly shorter right foot). The inclusion of half-sizes is another sign of an excellent shoe product. An additional bonus is the fact these are very easy to slip on and off. I find zero negatives here. As a foot-sweater and a general disliker of weight on the feet, and a wide-foot-haver, these shoes were a great find.

Just got these. They do not feel cheap, especially for the price. The bottom feels much sturdier than I expected and have plenty of cushion, much more than my Asics wrestling shoes. It felt much sturdier than the Whitin's that I returned. They have great grip. Nice cushion around the ankles also. The design is great but PLEASE - GET RID of the TOE NAIL DESIGN, not necessary, very cringy. How the rubber goes over the top of the toes makes it feel better while walking, instead of just a flimsy fabric. There's enough room in the toe box without making them look like clown shoes. I went half a size down from my Asics wrestling shoes. I will give an update after I use it outdoors. UPDATE: These are just fantastic. Bought another pair. I don't want to wear anything else. Please eliminate the toenail design.

I bought my first pair of these 2 years ago and they’re still holding up to this day, photo attached . I am now buying another pair and some for my wife as well. Highly recommend! They are durable and comfortable. Great for running trails and for time in the river. They run true to size (I wear a 10.5 and order these in 10).

Comfy cushy tactile grip. Love em! Material, laces, all high quality. Great fit.

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.

Minimalist shoe. Great toe room. Very comfortable. Super light weight. Better than my arch support skechers. Good traction even indoors.

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.

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

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.

Great quality and super comfy. My first pair I was a bit worried but the reviews are going on here and it looks decent so I ordered and am very happy. The shoe is tough and well made. Good inner shoe and feels awesome right away for me. I have high arches and am getting aches and pains in areas that I believe is from shoes and arch support so I am going minimalist to see if I get some positive results. Regardless these are great barefoot shoes and a great price. I would do competitions in them. Would buy more and recommend. Thank you seller and all involved in my purchase. Blessings.
