Ordered normal size - it fit. May come with “new” smell.
I ordered the size that most often fits (9.5 women’s) and the shoes seem to fit just right. I actually ordered these particular shoes because of the bottom tread and being barefoot style was just a bonus. I thought these would make my feet look like boats, but they look normal to me.The shoes arrived in a ziplock style bag which was in a thick paper mailing envelope. The “newly manufactured rubber” type smell (makes me think of new tires…) was pretty strong out of the bag. I will probably set these outside to air out until the smell is gone. Hopefully the odor will dissipate quickly.These shoes feel pretty comfortable and lightweight. The stretchy material makes it easy to put on and remove shoes. They are not slip-ins, but putting these on and using a finger to guide the heel on properly works fine for me. The openings of the shoes feel slightly snug over the top of my feet and the inner soles have a somewhat cushioned feel, both due to the inserts. The inserts give the feeling of something against my arches, but it is not arch support. Removing the inserts made the snug feeling over the top of my feet go away and left the inner soles feeling firm. These shoes have plenty of toe box room for my wide feet. The rubber-like material on the sides of the shoes is only stitched down on the end nearest the toes and heels which probably helps with allowing better stretch.I don’t know how these will hold up over the long term, but they appear to be well made. If they work out for my feet (don’t cause pain or dents on top of my feet) I plan to order at least one more pair.10/9/25 update. Thus far, I’ve had no issues with the pink pair so I ordered a second pair in gray. Other than the color, they are just like the pink ones. Hopefully both will hold up over time.

Best barefoot shoe ever
I wanted a pair of lightweight walking shoes to alternate with my boots while hiking in Peru this summer. Initially, I was worried about the comfort and quality of the shoes because they were so inexpensive. But for less than $20, I was willing to give it a shot. I am so glad that I pulled the trigger and wish that I'd purchased more pairs. They were incredibly comfortable to wear for a full 12-hour day of climbing mountains and walking on rocks. I now wear them for leg days at the gym because they are flat enough to encourage proper muscle engagement. The treading lends itself to various forms of cardio (e.g., sled pushes, running, hiking, etc.). I appreciate the versatility of the shoe and hope to purchase it in more colors. It is true to size - I wear a 5.5/6 and the size 6 fit great even with thick hiking socks. The shoes are durable and wash/dry well. They were saturated in dirt after a long ATV ride, so I washed them on a cold gentle cycle and dried them on a delicate cycle. They looked brand new when I pulled them out of the dryer. This was an all-around superb purchase.

Cute and comfy!
So comfortable. I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts in a hospital. I wore these to work without "breaking them in", and was nervous that my feet would hurt. I was very pleasantly surprised that despite having a very busy shift and being on my feet for the majority of that night, I felt no discomfort from my these new shoes! They are fairly lightweight and very breathable. I bought half a size up from what I usually wear and they fit nicely.I only give 4 stars because I am nervous about the rubber that the laces go through and hope that they are durable enough not to break quickly. But so far, very happy with my purchase!

So comfortable!
Update....the white shoes got dirty so I washed them. BAD idea. The ENTIRE sole on both shoes came off. They were just a few months old and I had to throw them away.Love these shoes! I have one foot wider than the other and these fit perfectly. Comfortable and good quality for the price.

Comfort and style
I bought these because I was having pain in my last two toes on my right foot.. couldn’t even wear my most comfortable Sketchers! Found out I have hammertoe and need surgery but more urgent was right knee replacement surgery! Only option was sandals but can’t wear those now! These are perfect! Enough room that my toes are not squished together…. can wear them to my physical therapy sessions and all day! Absolutely the most comfortable shoes ever! I bought another color and will be ordering another pair! I’m even able to slip my orthopedic arch supports in for extra support! Great price too!!

So comfortable with lots of toe space.
They are so comfortable to wear and give you more toe space. The lightweight and flexible fabric almost feels like they’re giving your feet a hug.I work in retail, standing or walking the entire day. My feet aren’t in pain when I wear these shoes. I totally recommend buying a pair. I’m going to buy a second pair in another color.

Ok for for short walks.
Easy to slip on. Nice toe width. There's extra cushioning around the heel. The treads are nice but not too deep so I don't know how long they will last . I liked the grey color and style. They are very flexible which is so very comfortable when walking. I didn't like the lack of arch support. Another minus was the the tight mouth of the shoe. Typically, that is a something that can be managed by the shoelace but the shoelaces don't got up that high on this shoe. My ankles occasionally swell and this shoe feels like it could cut me off at the ankle. So maybe only for shorter walks with these shoes.
