Xero Shoes Dillion Knit Men’s Knit Casual Trainer Sneakers – Lightweight Breathable Walking Shoes, Slip-On Comfort, Everyday Wear, Black

The Dillon's are really comfortable minimal shoes that don't look ridiculous. They've been my everyday shoe for over a year now, including for running and so far the soles show no sign of wearing down. They offer great ground feel, especially if you take the insoles out. They are pretty flexible as you'd expect for a barefoot shoe. They are nice and breathable for warmer weather and exercising. Decent grip/traction. Really can't say anything bad about them, other than their cost I guess in comparison to 'normal' shoes. Only problem is being white of course they've really not aged well. But that's not a reflection on the shoes. I would happily buy another pair, maybe in a darker colour this time.

I have many Xero shoes and sandals, and love the brand. I got these for work as I wanted a less-formal look while still being appropriately smart. They deal with that, while being supremely comfortable. I suppose if you aren’t already wearing barefoot shoes, you’ll find these a shock; if you are, you may find them to be a bit more squidgy - a bit less responsive - but the ground-feel is still pretty good. I have wide feet and these stretch and accommodate well. Expensive, but the quality is much better than the cheaper barefoot shoes on Amazon.

Before owning this shoe I didn't know that shoes can be this comfortable. It really feels more like a sock rather than a shoe, but obviously it still provides enough protection so it doesn't hurt if you step on a stone or something. It's my first ever barefoot shoe, but it's indeed a whole new world. On the outside it actually has the same width as my Vans Shoes, but in the inside - probably because there is more space for my toes - it feels wider and more spacious. One issue that I have and I think it was mentioned before is that it doesn't have a lot of grip on smooth wet surfaces, so you have to be careful when you walk on the rain and it's probably not your best choice in the winter either.

Needed a new pair of casual trainers. Wanted something that looked classic. Looked at various barefoot brands to find a pair I liked. I am happy with this purchase. The quality in the construction is evident, which can be lacking in some brands. This is the second pair of shoes I have now bought from Xero, ans won't be the last.

Stitching at heel began to fail inside shoe, after one day of wear! Exposing sole.

First up, these shoes look great! They don't look like barefoot shoes and can go smart casual with any outfit, which means they fulfil the purpose for which I bought them. They are beautifully understated. Secondly, though, note that these I am calling these minimalist and not barefoot for a couple of reasons. The moulded sole which makes these shoes look so great significantly reduces the lateral flexibility and ground feel of the shoe. I am aware that I am wearing these whilst I am walking, and my feet become sore if I walk too far in them - which never happens in my other barefoot shoes. Comparison on ground feel and flexibility between these, my cons, and my vivo's - these sit closest to the cons. The flexibility just isn't there to the barefoot level, and the ground feel (even after I took out the insoles) is closer to a conventional skate shoe without an insole than a truely barefoot shoe. The big deal for me, however, is the toe box. It is too narrow. Again, when compared to my vivo's and my cons this runs much closer to the width of my con's. (The sole width at the toe box is pretty much the same as my converse distros, although the shape of the shoe doesn't narrow at the toe like the cons.) My feet aren't cramped, but they are definitely in a shoe and a little constricted. These just don't have that truely barefoot feel. The wide toe box and the rounded, flexible sole are the barefoot shoe experience in my opinion, and these shoes come up short with both. So, in short, these are a great pair of minimalist shoes if you need something for looking a bit more 'normal' for work or heading down the pub without your feet being crushed, but they aren't going to be your go to barefoot shoe. If you want the full barefoot experience, check out vivobarefoot; if you want a minimalist skate shoe that won't cramp your toes too much and will be fairly light on the foot, these could fit that bill. If that is their aim, then they have almost nailed it (they just need a wider toe box and a cheaper price tag).

They are very comfortable and they look good for barefoot shoes. The problem is that they didn't even last 12 months before I saw a hole in the sole of the shoe. I would have expected better quality at this price.

They’re nice shoes but the 12s I ordered seem to have run on the small side so my toes are squished up the front, entirely negating the wide toe box. My prios were a 12 and they fit great, so no idea why these don’t

Tolle Schuhe, sehr angenehmes Lauf Gefühl

Llevo dos semanas con ellas y son muy comodas. Contento con la compra

Highly recommend these, if zero drop/minimalist shoes are what you want (if you're switching to them from normal shoes, do some research and do it carefully). I've put a lot of miles on them over a few months and they look and feel like new. I switched to these from Merrell Vapor Gloves and Trail Gloves, which are not what they used to be (the Vibram soles on the Vapor/Trail Gloves don't last very long these days). I've worn them on streets and sidewalks, hiking trails, and cobblestone roads in Europe, and they're very comfortable and reliable, and so far very durable. I do a lot of walking roads and trails, and they've held up well. The sizing runs small. I usually wear 11 or 11.5; I got a size 12 after reading some other comments, and they fit perfectly.

Très confortables, j'ai désormais du mal à m'en séparer. Très bon équilibre entre légèreté, confort et sensations. Foncez ! FF

Good fit and reasonable quality... attracts filth, mud and dust better than Dyson though.
