These shoes come with a removable liner that makes them versatile for hot and cool weather. In the month I've had them they've become my go-to shoes for around the house and yard. I I've also worn them for urban sight-seeing in rainy conditions (with liner). I tried them for a short run on a treadmill (without liner and with socks) and liked them. They're great for travel due to their versatility, light weight, and pack-ability. I read a review in a blog that suggests they aren't good for hiking in wet, muddy conditions. I can believe that. They were fine for me on pavement in rainy weather. I also read a review that said the shoelace eyelets came out. I haven't had that happen in a month of wear. The removable liner felt a little tight at first, but either it stretched or I got used to it because it didn't bother me when walking around the city all day. These have a very wide toe box, but it works okay for me (medium-width feet). If you're not accustomed to minimal footwear you may need to slowly build up the length of time you wear them. If your feet are sore and tired after wearing them, it probably means you need to gradually build up more.

These were awesome when they arrived, great on the first run. Second time I wore them the plastic eyelet broke off. I do not think it was a fluke, I think these eyelets will easily break, taking the shoe, in my opinion, from a five star to a one star. I really liked them, but...

I love these shoes so much that I ordered another pair in a different color! Wearing them feels kind of like wearing moccasins... very flexible. And I've also had numerous comments about how cool they look! Highly recommend them!

Great shoes. The inner part of this shoe feels tight at first, but as you wear the shoes it becomes more comfortable. I love these shoes and get a lot of compliments.

These are cool, hip, and comfortable! I wear them to train in in the morning, and then keep them on for the rest of the day. I love them!

I never want to take these shoes off. Being my first barefoot shoe it was a little awkward at first, but transitioning from regular running shoes to these is a pleasure. I am currently up to 5 miles. My knee is not bothering me anymore, which was my problem with running for many years. Just be sure to take it easy to start, and your life will change to feeling like a butterfly when running.
