Customer Reviews Vivobarefoot Jing Jing II

These shoes are running TWO sizes larger than listed! They are HUGE! And I had to send them back for a smaller size twice. That said, I do have a narrow foot/heel. Now that I've sized down two sizes though, they are great! Wonderful barefoot, wide toe box but attractive dress shoe for a lady.

This is a true barefoot style shoe - meaning it is widest at the toe and has minimal/flexible sole. If you are looking for a barefoot shoe that you can wear to work, this is it! I have been looking/researching everywhere for a more formal barefoot style shoe and this is finally it. Folks here that rated this low were most likely NOT looking for barefoot shoes. Order two sizes to be safe, your regular size and a size smaller. Now, if you’re looking to support your foot health, wear these with your correct toe inserts (www.correcttoes.com). I have a bunion that I’m working to correct with this method, along with toe exercises and massages from the correct toes YouTube site. These shoes are SO comfortable if you can get the correct size. I never realized how regular ballet flats hurt my toes until I wore these shoes. Vivobarefoot offers good shoes, it looks like they have discontinued these - I’m hoping they come out with the Jing lll! I hope this helps :)

This is a cute minimal flat that does not stay on when I walk. I think in a barefoot minimal flat style like this needs a strap of some kind to hold it on. In any case, I offer the suggestion to size down at least one size.

These run huge! I’m usually an 8.5 and sometimes a 9. The 8.5 were at least one full size too big. The fabric of the shoe is very soft and comfortable but I don’t really like the barefoot feel (no cushion in the footbed) and I don’t think I really like the look of the toe.

I LOVE these shoes! I have a tailor's bunion, so I struggle to find shoes, especially dress shoes. These are very comfy and cute. They run large though. I consistently wear a 10W, and the 9M fit perfect! Maybe even a bit wide still, but not too much that I can't wear them.

Love this generation of Jing Jing! I truly appreciate the sophisticated and flattering point across the vamp contrasted with the elastic trim on the previous version. I love the generous toe box. Yes, it's wider than usual shoes because Vivobarefoot wants your foot to function "barefoot" - and thank goodness! These are my new favorites, and I don't have to say they're nice for barefoot. (I think they were very true to size length-wise and that they'd be labeled as wide by a traditional shoe manufacturer.)

Love them! I purchased the Blk in a size 41 (10). I usually wear a Keen's women size 10.5 (my foot measures almost 26cm which is a size 10 on the nose and 11cm wide..traced out while standing on paper). I have wide feet and morton's neuroma so its been a challenge finding a shoe that's roomy in the toe box. This shoe has heaps of room in the toe box...down side is it has a loose fitting heal. They slip a little even with an added heel cushion strip in the back. However...once I put my CorrectToes on they fit PERFECTLY! If you don't own a pair of CorrectToes yet I high recommend them. I added a Pedag Metatarsal pad to the shoe and and they are awesome. No foot pain and they look great!

these shoes are beautiful and well made. my last pair lasted 10 years. however they are huge, i had to order 2 sizes smaller than i usually wear.

These are absolutely cute and it feels as if I’m going barefoot! I work from home and love these shoes. They are an attractive flat and the leather is soft and supple.

I love vivobarefoot brand and have 2 pairs already, but i have narrow feet and unfortunately these were way too wide, my feel slipped out of them. they also are not very sturdy, they seem kind of floppy but maybe if you have normal width feet it would be fine. need to return.

I ordered my usual size 9 (40) and it was huge. I returned and purchased a size 8 (39) which fits much better. I should have listened to the reviews and order the smaller size to start. I am still breaking in these shoes as it is hard to go directly to a barefoot style. I noted no arch support - which is why I bought them. I am trying to get to a barefoot lifestyle to help with my foot issues.

I work from home and often I want to look more “pulled together.” These do the trick. They are cute and tidy, but wearing them feels as if I’m going barefoot!

Ordered my regular size but they were gigantic boats. I’d exchange them but smaller sizes are sold out. I’d order a full size down. Hard to tell how they would have got it looked because they were so large. Bummer! I was looking forward to these.

I almost always wear a 6.5 or 37 in European sizing. Based on others' feedback, I ordered a 36. The length was correct and the leather is very soft. Sadly, there was a lot of gaping on the sides of my feet (which is rarely an issue for me). They were just too sloppy to keep.

Super surprised because this shoe is reviewed as often 2 sizes too big. Very cute but my small toes were squished. The size was right for my big toe but the toe of the shoe narrowed too quickly and crammed my small toes. Super disappointed as this is a “barefoot” brand. No way I can go up a size or they will flop off.

I have fairly a wide toebox with narrow heels, and these shoes were very wide. They wouldn't even stay on my feet! I ordered a half size smaller based on other reviews, and I think it was an accurate size lengthwise. This was first pair of barefoot shoes, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Turns out these don't work for my feet. I need significant arch support. Overall, the quality seemed very good though. If you're into this type of shoe.

WAY TOO BIG!!! Other than the weird sizing, the shoes are absolutely beautiful. I wanted to love them, but I have no idea how many sizes down to I would need to go for the shoes to fit? 2 sizes? 3? more? They may be a full inch too long for my foot; and my foot simply came out of the shoe when I tried to walk in them. So disappointed after wearing out my black leather VivoBarefoot Jing Jing I's (in the same size).

I love the company but these shoes are just too wide...I usually wear size 9, I ordered size 8.5 based on other reviews and even though the length was fine the shoes were just way too wide. They are going back unfortunately.

I was kind of devastated that these flats didn't work for me. They are adorable, in a barefoot style, and were so horribly wide and gaping on the sides that I had to send them back. So sad!
