HOBIBEARUnisex Wide Barefoot Shoes for Men Women Outdoor Trail Running Minimalist Walking Shoes Lightweight and Breathable

This is my first purchase of barefoot shoes and I'm impressed to say the least. Straight out they felt like slippers. I (female) have very wide feet. One foot is 24cm long 10cm wide and the other 23.5cm long 10.5cm wide due to bunion so I ordered a size 5. I would say the length is true to size as I have about 1cm space at end of toe. Just the perfect amount for me. I have not found any other barefoot shoes with this width for my size. Most are 9.5cm wide at most. The width on these is perfect for me. No tightness on the width at all. I agree with others on the ground feel. There's a removable insole which is great to start off with rather than diving in the deep end and stressing my feet too much too quickly. The first couple of days I could feel my feet and calves were a little shocked and this was confirmed by massive cramping in my feet and calves those first two nights but on the third day of wearing them I had a noticeable change in feeling. My feet felt like they had adjusted to the new position (mainly I no longer felt like I was stomping down on my heels) and the ground feel was welcome rather than ee ah ooh when walking over stones. No cramping since. I've not tried wearing them without the insole yet as that's something I want to work up to. I'm really shocked at how quickly the feet adapt. The build quality is excellent too so I'm hoping they last me well. I'm not heavy on shoes so mine usually last years but at this price I'd be happy to 12 months out of them. I'm sure they will last much longer. I will definitely be buying another colour. I wish they would make some other styles and colours too. Some boots would be great. If you can't afford the big brands in barefoot or are just starting out in barefoot shoes or just want some natural foot shaped shoes then these are a no brainer. P.s. sooo many people have commented on how cute my shoes are!P.p.s. for anyone criticising these for having no support: these are not meant to support your feet. They are meant to encourage your feet to strengthen and support themselves as nature intended. If you want more support I'm sure you could remove the supplied insoles and replace with ones that support the feet. But isn't it worth trying to rehabilitate your feet rather than encouraging lazy muscles which lead to bunions?!Update: I bought another colour in the next size up so that I can wear thick socks. This has worked out perfectly.Generally, I'm loving these shoes. I no longer suffer aching feet when I am on them for a whole day.

I have had these shoes a few days now and I am very happy with them. I am new to Barefoot shoes and to reversing the damage that over 60 years of wearing conventional shoes, trainers etc have done to my body.I have followed advice and am taken things slow and steadIncorporating, walking barefoot indoors, and in the Park on grass and the hard paths and some urban trails, including mud, gravel etc: This is a liberating experience. These shoes are part of my transition to a new way walking. They are true to my normal size and very comfortable. I don't wear socks with them and I did not care when they got soaked on a chilly English Autumn day, in fact the weather does not decide for me any longer whether I go for a walk or not for when it rains I just wear clothes that don't hold water and dry quickly, these are also available on Amazon and are inexpensive. Back to the shoes which have a thin removable insole which give you flexibility and support at the beginning of your Barefoot Journey. They are very light, flexible and can be worn for walking, slow jogging or just casual wear. The shoes seem well made and time will tell how they deal with daily wear and tear. They are far less expensive than leading Barefoot Brands, which I may look at and decide as my Barefoot Journey continues.I recommend these shoes to anyone, who just want to liberate their feet from the cages of modern shoes. They will feel strange at first, and do not provide the wads of cushioning that you may be use to : this is to allow your feet to spread in the wider toe box and your feet to use muscles that have atrophied over the years.Get them, take it slowly, do your own research on improving your, foot, leg, hip, back health by what you wear on your feet and the way you walk, run, sit and much more. Anyone at any age can start their own Journey and these shoes, I believe can help you, they are certainly helping me. Happy feet make for a happy body.
