Love them!- but wrong size sent
I won’t discount a star for the wrong size sent, but definitely go with your usual size or down a half size. I ordered what I thought was a 9.5- it is definitely a 10 and even says so on the tag itself.The fabric is lightweight and breathable. The soles are very flexible, not super thick like a good barefoot shoe, but also not a ton of support. The colors of these are my favorite- it feels rare to see lavender/light purple options out there for barefoot shoes, and it makes these so fun.I love that these are great for wide feet, as I have always had wide feet and usually need to buy shoes in person just to test them out. You don’t need to worry about that here!I think the value of these is great, they are exceedingly comfortable and easy to wear. The laces are a little clingy since the lace holes have no metal or plastic around them, it’s all just fabric, so it takes a bit more effort to tighten to the level you may need. I haven’t tested washability but the material looks similar to other barefoot shoes I have had that wash out easily.Overall very pleased, I wish my actual size had been sent, but I will definitely recommend these to others!

These run incredibly large
These Hobibear Women's Wide Toe Box Barefoot shoes have a super flexible sole, and the green mesh top color is nice to look at. The shoe has very little support in it, as is the way barefoot shoes are (something I need to get used to!) that being said, they run incredibly large. Certainly size down at least a half size, if you're between sizes. I wear a 7 men's shoe (which runs like a woman's wide), 8W womens shoe, or 8.5R womens shoe, and I got the size 8 in these. I am undecided on whether or not these are actually wearable for me, or if they are too large, even tied fully tightly. And like I said--I got an 8, and wear either an 8 or 8.5 typically, and have wide feet.They feel, nicely, like you aren't wearing shoes. There is next to no support (not a bad thing for the shoe type) but certainly something to take note of. Overall, they cost a similar price as other similar items.

Cute, comfortable, and all day wear shoes!
These Hobibear shoes are different than several of the other ones that I own. They are tie shoes and I've never had ones that tie by Hobibear. When I first put them on they felt as comfortable as I expected them to be. I love the wide toe box, the ability to feel the ground as I walk, and absolutely love the color. I picked the white with the purple. I'm not one who normally goes for white shoes but thought these would be really cute in the summer with a pair of shorts or a skirt! I normally wear a women's 9.5 or 10 in shoes and ordered these in a size 42. I often find with the size 41 Hobibears that my toes are right at the end of the shoes so I wanted to try the 42. I think the 42 is a bit big for me though. I can still wear them but definitely need to tie them a little bit tighter so I don't have slippage. With that said, I have worn them all day and have had nothing but absolute comfort from them. These are the shoes that you can take right out of the box, put on your feet, and spend the entire day without even thinking twice about wearing a brand new pair of shoes. If you're looking for for a great pair of barefoot shoes, I would definitely check these out!

Well made shoes, ensure you measure your foot
Much higher quality materials and construction that I was expecting. Nice wide toes box with a flat sole, comfy so wear all day as long as you are used to these types of shoes (ease in to them a bit at a time if not). Regarding the sizing, ensure you use the provided sizing chart and don't go off what you normally wear. That being said, they are slightly a bit smaller, so if you are border line go up a size. Also, these aren't the best to wear with really short socks as the material is on the rougher side (for you bare skin) so you want to wear socks that cover your ankle a bit.

Sweet sweet comfort
Myyyyyyyyy WORD, these shoes are comfortable!! I am a HOBIBEAR brand fan anyway, but these are next level. The whole shoe is made of a stretchy, breathable mesh material that is so comfortable I actually forget I have shoes on! They’re like the world’s most comfortable pair of slippers, but you can wear them everywhere without getting strange looks. They have the classic wide toe box and wider sizing which always fits great. With the stretchy mesh, you could probably go down a half size down if you wanted to, but my regular size 9 still fits great and gives extra room for swelling. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about these shoes.

Fits ½ size large
These are similar to other ‘barefoot’ style sneakers. They fit large and very wide (for an 8W). The tag reads as 39, which feels accurate to an 8-1/2 wide (US8W/38 typically is what fits me best). The mesh upper is flexible enough that it can be tied tightly to snug up the fit for me, but narrow to normal width feet probably will still feel too loose.

Comfortable, breathable warm weather shoe.
Very comfortable. Wide toe box. Has similar feel to a footbed shoe like a Birkenstock-style clog.Definitely has a ‘barefoot’ feel.Minimal arch support which is not a problem for me but may be for others.Breathable fabric upper that is lightweight. Upper is unlined making this shoe perfect for warmer weather found in spring and summer.Well made.
