Native Shoes

Jefferson

Unisex

I love these shoes. I find them to be the most comfortable and versatile slip-ons I've ever owned. But Native should make it clear that these are not sustainable with daily wear. I purchased these shoes from Zappos on May 12, 2019 for dog walking and commuting. Exactly two months to the day of purchase, the soles have worn through to the bottom of my feet. I wish I could justify buying a pair every two months, but for $45, there's no way. So bummed out.

Bottom line? I would not recommend as an everyday pair. I bought these for work where I am on my feet all day running around a warehouse. They are light, breathable, and I was sold on the anti-microbial properties of the shoe which combined with the light materials and airy, breathable upper; leaving my feet feeling way, way better at the end of the day. In regards to wear: I noticed creases started after my first full shift at work, which isn't a lot of great feats of athleticism but is a lot of walking. I also have been wearing these out and about as a test. They don't seem to like getting wet and are not very durable outside of room operating temperature (i.e. too hot, too cold). Comfort: They're pretty comfy. They're also not going to fall off your feet (I literally have ran across a warehouse leaping over boxes with no slip), and have great traction. However, do not confuse these with non slip treads that ARE designed for oil slick and slippery surfaces. If you're going to buy a pair for work in the freight or logistics biz, they're cheap, light, comfy, and the only downside I can think of is they may only live four to five months with everyday work day use. If you're buying them for the town, they're stylish, but keep in mind that while I feel they're true to fit, the toe thing gives it an extra half size of length. I've been wearing these two weeks and almost trip daily wearing these not picking me feet up far enough for the toe thing to clear the ground.

I'm a women's size 7.5 and the mens 6/womens 8 is huge! the mens 5/womens 7 is still pretty big. I'm going to try the mens 5/womens 6 next and post an update. Size down ladies!

These are so much cuter than Crocs...they look sort of like slip-on Converse sneakers, but are made of Croc-like foamy plastic. Great summer slip on shoe, sturdier than flip flops. Seem a tiny bit narrow, but are comfy and a great value.

Bought these for my husband for when he does light yard work. He likes them because they're light-weight and can be easily rinsed off.
