Impakto Barefoot Rooted Comfortable Big Toe Box Gym, Cross Training, Walking Shoes for Men

The product is really good for its price, that too coming from an Indian manufacturer. I have used barefoot style shoes extensively since 2013 -- 2 Merrell shoes with Vibram sole (Very good sole performance, grip wise) , 1 Azani; an Indian copy with very poor sole performance (grip) when even slightly wet or touches water. And now I have a Vibram Five Finger, super comfortable and really barefoot style with amazing sole performance, even when it is just 2-4 mm. But this one is really good with fit and comfort, even though it has thinck sole and heavy insole. Shoe is much heavier than all other barefoot style shoes I have used and weight balance is shifted towards front. Even though it is not technically a barefoot type in terms of foot perception, wide toe-box and minimal heel-to-toe drop makes it really comfortable. Also treads and sole is really good and gives feeling of secure grip. Easy to put on and the design is just right with proper sizing compared to normal shoe size, with the band over tongue giving a secure fit. I have not really tried running on this, but think that due to the good elastic band over the tongue, it will not come out. Personally insole thickness and weight of shoe makes my feet ache sometimes, but I cannot complain as this is the best shoe I have found yet for my need given the prize (got it at ₹895) and the usage (I can wear it to office without anyone noticing, well almost). The finger/toe like design marking is unnecessary and makes it a more noticeable than necessary (not that I am complaining, as I have worn Vibram Five Fingers to office on purpose to start a discussion on barefoot style shoes and foot health that is damaged big time by stupidly indoctrinating people that high-heeled, cramped-toe shoes are really good for running and walking). So, I am not complaining about fashion and comfort of this shoe, but instead appreciate about the healthy aveneue it provides for maintaining better foot health at such affordable cost. Also thicker sole gives more protection from shoe getting wet even with little water on road (as happens with VFF). I bought one for my teenage son too to give him an option to improve his foot health.

Disclaimer: not for outside use..and buy silicon insole with this 👟 These somewhat good gym shoes.. although I treid them for brisk walk after few days of wearing in gym.. these are ok for flat-even surfaces, if roads are nice, but if not then PLz don't use them outside. I did and had bad heel pain later on. The inner sole came off just after 5min exercise on my first day..it was just a foam piece nothing more.. But I already had ordered a inner silicon arch support insloe from Amazon..so I put that in the shoes..which made them a bit more comfortable. If anyone want to buy shoes for gym and don't need much weight distribution or any thing artho support..then this shoe is sufficient.. Wideness is USP.. I felt free while wearing it. Looks good. Grip is sufficient.. I think if you are not professional runner or jog/run too much then for moderate gym excercise this can be a option.

These shoes are Amazing. I did not expect them as good as they are feeling. It’s been three months I am using it. Very comfortable. I did use outdoor once , no problem at all.fits properly and looks great on shorts.

Very comfortable, snug fit. Perfect size and very easy to wear. The padding inside is nice. Overall, the shoes fell sturdy while walking/running. If you are wearing barefoot style for the first, it will take a few days to get used to it (when dealing with uneven/slippery surfaces) as the body is used to proper, regular soles. However, the grip is very good, and they don't slip at all. All good with the new pair. Will review it again after a few months of use.

These shoes are good for what I got them for - daily home wear with socks in winter. All I wanted was broad toebox shoe without a heal, and this fitted the bill and was cheap. They are very comfortable and have a cushion inside. So good for everyday wear, and I have been wearing them for about a fortnight without a complain. The quality is average. They are however not bearfoot as advertised - as they are well padded. I wear a lot of barefoot shoes, and these are not like any of them given the padding. Hence, they should not be called barefoot. Therefore, for those looking to buy barefoot please be aware, they are similar, but do not meet all the criteria for barefoot shoes.

Got it for our little expeditions at Jim Corbett, it's the best for walking in the river and light treks. The sole could have been better, but the product is still amazing and worth investing. Go for it without any second thoughts.

It is very light, very comfortable. You'd want to sleep wearing it on. The glue of the inside sole isn't good. The inside sole is coming out within a week's usage. It shifts and bends while slipping on the glue

Edit after 8 months: After using the shoes for approx 8 months, the shoe sole has started deteriorating. I've used the shoe for mild running of 5-6 km/week, and regular gym usage. Also, I've used the shoes for 2-3 light treks. The upper has mostly managed well, but the sole has started to wear off as in pictures. I bought the shoes for rs 999, and the product lasted for 8-9 months. Is that Good value? Well, I dunno, you decide. Original review: I am writing this after rigorously using the pair of shoes for 3 months. I have used the shoes on couple of light treks in rainy conditions. Also, I have used the shoes for mild running for 20+ days. Sole: the shoes surprisingly provided good grip even in slippery and muddy conditions. I haven't tried them in too technical terrain, but have tried them in relatively difficult conditions and they've done pretty well. Performance: the shoes do what they are intended to do. They provide basic protection at the sole while allowing good flexibility Durability: the shoes have endured pretty well so far. Will update my review after few more weeks. All in all, the shoes offer great value and don't look cheap. I have purchased another pair for my brother as well. Good job Ajanta for bringing out such a decent product at such a great price!
