Really great color! I got the blue/grey. Needed something asap for vacation and Zappos fast shipping was amazing! I was surprised to get immediate compliments on what looks like a water shoe. But they are fun and colorful. This brand uses a graduated-style toe box, so if you have problem feet you may have to try different sizes. I found I needed a size up even with bare feet. The bungee cord thing seemed odd at first but now I love it. Provides a snug but not tight fit. Expensive, but so comfortable they will get lots of wear. Happy they're vegan, too!

I got this shoe in a 10 in the charcoal/pink color. I usually size up from a 9-1/2 to a 10 in J-41's. My foot is on the narrow side but these shoes felt great. I did make the mistake and wore these barefoot style shoes on a recent trip to Wash D.C., let's just say my calves and ankles were killing me by the end of day two doing so much walking, my mistake and I knew I should not have used them as my only walking shoes. I love them nevertheless!

Really cool shoe, does feel like you're barefooted. The only drawback is not alot of arch support. I have really high arches, so I had to insert a little arch support and now it's perfect.

I instantly liked these and wear them nearly every day. They did seem to run small at first, and the half size up that I ordered seemed to fit me perfectly; then I figured out that's because they're meant to be worn barefoot. Once I ditched my socks (thanks to the warm weather's necessitating my wearing shorts), I found they still fit but now slightly loosely. I don't run in these, just walk around. They're so quick to put on and take off--no laces or velcro--and they're very lightweight and breathable (you can see the color of my socks if I wear them with socks). The bright white gets comfortably dingy and not so bright within a month or so. Also, I love that these are vegan! And I verified directly with the maker that they do not seem to use (controversial and potentially dangerous) nano materials.
