This shoe has a design flaw and doesn't work for a high instep foot. The velcro strap is intended to fold back and stick to itself, but on my tall foot the strap is too short and doesn't cover the hook side of the velcro. The hooks can catch and ruin anything they touch.

I hate to be the one person who didn't like this shoe! I researched the barefoot shoe movement & this is the second barefoot shoe I've tried. I read reviews of this style at different shoe sites, and was really excited for a non-leather option that could pass in my corporate work environment. However, these felt like cheap KMart shoes out of the box. On, they're a 1/2 size too big for my size 6 feet. I was going to order the next size down, but after wearing them for 5 minutes, they're going back. I have high arches & high insteps, so the strap doesn't velcro fully across, which is fine. But when I walk, the strap rubs back & forth on the top of my foot, even though I have it cinched tight enough to leave dents in my skin. I couldn't tell you how the barefoot sole feels, because the strap hurt so much. I'm willing to spend a lot on shoes to bring my feet & spine into balance, but these are too uncomfortable to bear.

I am in love. I purchased this shoe because I am required to wear a covered toe shoe for my job and the sock/sneaker combo wasn't cutting it on the beaches. When I first put them on, I was afraid that they were 1/2 size too big, but once I velcroed the straps, I realized that they felt amazing. This is my first barefoot-type shoe and so far I couldn't be happier. I've put about 25 miles on them so far. They don't rub, they protect my feet and they are way easier to dump sand out of than unlacing a sneaker. I think that they offer really good support. They're awesome!

These shoes are very comfortable and can pass at work if you're in a more casual office. However! Be warned: these shoes will make your feet sweat. Like, buckets of sweat. On a 70-ish degree day I wore these with a skirt and my feet were just screaming 'why are you encasing me in this!?' Comfy, yes. Going to my go to once summer fully hits here in the Northeast? Not likely. And that's a shame, because these are not cheap!

I got these in the black color, and I have received many compliments on them! They are very comfortable and there is no issue with fit. These are very fashionable, feminine barefoot shoes. Those are quite hard to come by! They are a bit pricey but you will be wearing them a lot because they are so comfortable! They go with just about any outfit too. I highly recommend these shoes. Merrell is the best brand!

This is a great shoe. I have problems with hips knees and feet. Also have plantar fascia. When I put this shoe on, seriously. The pain disappeared. I was shocked. Seemed like magic. Love it.
