Love these shoes, I wear them to work everyday. The roomy toebox is great. I had a pair of Merrell barefoot-style shoes that now seem too tight in the toe area compared to the Ras. I made one modification: I used some Filson "tin cloth" wax to turn these into waxed cotton. Two coats of the wax on all outside material, one coat on the laces, let it soak in overnight setting near the woodstove. A little sticky for the first couple days but now (one month later) smooth and starting to get shiny. Water beads up if I walk through dewy grass. These shoes are great!
I'd also recommend: Vibram five fingers

Vivobarefoot shoes are truly minimalist shoes, unlike many other brands. That being said there is a slight raised section in the arch area but more like a soft bandaid than actual structure. The soles are soft and pliable. Really an amazing experience to find these shoes as they are the most comfortable I have every had.

A great barefoot shoe that can be worn at work were the company is fussy about style. The heel is narrower than on the Merrell and more comfortable for me.

Does an excellent job of simulating the barefoot experience and they are passable as a pair of dress shoes for work. The relative wideness of the shoe might take some getting used to aesthetically speaking. If you are looking for a dress shoe that does not have a heel or arch support, this might be your only option however.

I had been looking for about a year for zero-drop minimalist shoes I could wear to work. I already have a pair of Dharmas, which work OK, but it was time to upgrade. I took the insoles out right away, and I love feeling the ground (but not hurting the soles of my feet). They're comfortable and they work for work. Great find!
