Order .5 size larger, Looks and fits very well
So I read the other reviews and noticed a trend to order a size up (in .5 increments, not a whole size in case you were wondering). So, instead of ordering an 11, I ordered an 11.5 and they fit perfectly. If I had the liquid currency, I'd order the 11's and see how they fit as well. That being said, a YouTube review I found for these shoes also mentioned that they are long in the toes: That is somewhat correct. However, once you have them on, if you put your foot down and slide your foot forward in the shoes, your toes *should* go to the end and fit better. If they're anything like FiveFingers, they will eventually get looser in the toes and your feet will fit a little bit better (breaking in period).Overall, very comfortable, I immediately removed the insole because why would I buy a pair of minimalist/barefoot shoes just to have a ton of padding? Regardless, they fit well and come with a pair of socks (that I haven't tried yet, but assume they fit like any other toes socks in that size range).I highly recommend these and you should go up one size (or half a size depending on how technical you want to be about it). If you're a 10, get 10.5, if an 11 get 11.5 and so on. So far, great traction. I have only had them for about a day so I can't really speak to the durability yet. They seem to be well constructed and they're comfortable. As for "style," they're toe shoes. Any brand of toe shoes like these where you have 5 toe "pockets" are going to look alike.

Love them
I wear a 5.5 in boys (youth size) 7.5 to 8 in women’s .My pinky toe has trouble finding its way to its pocket but once it’s in it’s in lol. I danced in these all night for my birthday . They’re comfortable asf . I had a lot of funny looks at first and ppl thinking they were my feet but I love them 100% these babies grip the floor lol the fit was perfect and the quality so far so good! They function like shoes to me ! Not quite thick I wouldn’t say but it’s winter here and I was fine I didn’t wear the socks.

Worth a try.
I have been wearing vibram five fingers since they came out, have owned many pairs over the years, and they are still my favorite shoe. However, there is always a chance that something else might be better, and for the price, I decided to give these a go. I think if you don't want to pay the price for vibrams, these may be a viable option, but I will probably not wear them much due to one major issue.I'll start with the positives, since these shoes have a lot of positives. I think for most people, the positives will greatly outway the negatives. The first (and most obvious) thing these shoes have going for them is the price. At half to one third the price of vibrams, these would be a good way to see if you like the toe shoe style of shoes. Since they have five individual toe pockets, I think they are also a better option than the knockoff vibrams that combine toe pockets to get around patents.These shoes are also very comfortable, and fit well. Some of the other reviews complain of the shoes being big, especially the pinky toe pocket. This is not the case for me. Only one toe pocket is just a tad long for my toe, but the rest are just right. I have one short toe, so I can't blame the shoe for that. My guess is that most of the reviews that say the shoes are big went straight from wearing normal shoes to these. Normal shoes cause feet to stay in an unnatural shape, and it takes a while for them to spread back out. I had to go up a size when I bought my second pair of vibrams because of this. I wear a 43eu/9.5us and ordered a 9.5 for reference.The materials the shoes use seem very good as well, especially for the price. The upper part of the shoe is a woven elastic fabric, but not sock material. I have tried sock shoes before, and they are just what they sound like, socks with rubber on the bottom. These breath much better, and seem to hold the shape of the shoe better as well. The soles are grippy, and unlike sock shoes, are molded. The flexibility of the sole is also great, allowing natural foot movement. I have only worn them for a week, so I can not comment on how well they hold up.Looks are subjective, but as far as goofy looking toe shoes go, I think these look good. The minimalist look of no laces fit the style well, and the multiple color offerings are nice.The final pro I would like to mention for these shoes is using them to transition to a true barefoot shoe. That also brings me to the only real con. These shoes are not zero drop, and the sole is thick, especially at the heel and big toe. Like I said before, I have been wearing vibram five fingers for nearly two decades, and before that, I wore converse all stars. My body no longer knows how to walk with a heel to toe drop. As soon as I took a step in these shoes, I was dragging my heels. The extra thickness on the big toe of the sole also causes me to roll my foot to the outside. I basically had to relearn to walk, and it caused pain. This happens to people switching from normal shoes to barefoot shoes, which is why I think these would be a good transition shoe. They have the flexibility and range of motion of a barefoot shoe, with a slight heel and thicker sole to ease yourself into a true barefoot shoe.TLDRThese shoes are inexpensive, well made, and comfortable. However, they are not zero drop, and not a true barefoot shoe.

Excellent Five-Toe True Barefoot Workout Shoes
I purchased these at the initial price of around ~$40 and so far, I've found them to be a great value -- they're my go to shoe now for athletic training. I use them for weightlifting and cardio workouts. They are very light. You could use them for boating/watersports, but they do not have a drainage hole, so keep that in mind. The overall thickness of the fabric is good, and so far has held up without any fraying issues. Although the gray looks darker in their photos, it's more of a light gray (see my pics). I will note that these give you a lot of grip from their tread design (which is very flexible), so if you do any workouts that require rotation on the ball of your feet (martial arts, etc.), you may have to compensate.Sizing:I originally bought my shoe size and found those to be too snug. I sized up half a size and they fit great. These feel like true barefoot as the memory foam liner compresses quite a lot, so you're just standing on the tread. For proper fitment when putting on I've found that you should not put your heal against the very back, push forward so the toes go into their sockets, and then you're fine. If there's any gap to the heel, it's flexible enough to not be noticeable.Tip for removing them and not accidentally pulling out the inner foam -- pull your heel out, then grab them by the toes and start to pull them off while you clamp down securing the inner foam in the toe wells. If you don't do this, the foam can slip channels and become a pain to deal with.
