Step into Better Health With These Stylish Shoes!
Wow! Excellent quality, great price and lightweight! I have friends who are chiropractors, and they are always raving about barefoot shoes. I was always curious about how they feel but hesitated because of how the original barefoot shoes looked. These Hobibear Barefoot shoes offer all the benefits but with the look of a traditional athletic shoe. I do not have to worry about how long it takes to fit each toe into a space since the toe box space is all one space.My profile: 148 pounds (67 kilograms) weight, 5 feet 5 inches height (165 cm), Women’s U.S. shoe size 9 Medium width. It is true to size and a perfect fit.The toe box is purposefully wide to permit the toes to spread out more naturally, and therefore, provide better stability, weight distribution, posture, and fewer movement problems, such as over- or under-pronation (too much or too little rolling of the foot inward).They have a zero drop sole (no extra height) and have no additional arch support. Additional arch supports can sometimes overcompensate for a cramped or ill fitting toe box. The laces are round but ample length. The extra loopholes on top of the shoe really help to keep the fit exact.The outer sole is flexible, very rubbery, has a great design for excellent traction, and is nonslip. The insole is removable, thin, and very flexible. The breathable mesh and synthetic leather edge reinforcements are flexible, matte, and high quality. It is machine washable.Barefoot shoes offer many health benefits. They strengthen foot muscles and reduce the development of bunions and hammer toes often caused by narrow shoes. In addition, they improve balance, gait, and sensory feedback. Without a lifted heel, the body tends not to lean as much forward. Therefore, the heel strike is more natural and more toward the middle of the feet instead of relying too much on the back heel.People who have severely flat or high arches or other joint problems should probably consult their podiatrist, chiropractor, or orthopedist before switching to barefoot shoes. They usually recommend making a gradual transition to give time for your feet to adjust.The design is simple but sporty. It has some reflective silver accents to increase your safety and visibility at night. I chose the black color, and it is a true carbon black. The other color options are quite nice as well! I highly recommend these shoes! I browsed through other shoes that they offer, and all of their designs look very stylish! These would make great gifts for anyone! I would also recommend them for those who work in the healthcare and restaurant industry.

Narrow arch, wide toes.
It's wide in the toes and narrow in in arch. The sole is thicker than traditional barefoot shoes. It is not treadsafe (or grippy) it might be water resistant but definitely not water proof. Other than all those things structurally looked like it would last a decent time.

Awesome. Order in men's size
These were advertised as women's shoes, so I ordered my correct size. When these arrived they sent me a size 10 mens instead of women's so they're a bit big.That being said, they're great shoes. I do wish I had my size so I could wear them. They are well made. I did take them on a short hike and they held up well. I think they'd last a long time (again, if I actually wore them). They look nice, and they feel great. I am able to feel most rocks when hiking so that was a bummer. Overall they're fantastic shoes.

Perfect for wide feet. Comfortable.
This item was provided free through the Amazon Bine Program.This is my sixth pair of Hobibear shoes, and I keep coming back because the wide toe box is incredibly comfortable. One thing to note, though, is that the sizing can vary by about half a size depending on the style. For example, I wear a women’s size 10 in their zero-drop slip-ons and they fit perfectly, but with the boots and hiking shoes I’ve found that I need to size down by half a size.Overall, they’re well-made, supportive, and very comfortable — just be mindful that you may need to adjust your size slightly depending on the style you choose.

Not a quiet pair of sneakers
I got these Hobibear women's shoes in a size 9.5 wide. I chose black because I typically wear that color the most. In the description it does say wide toe box so I was hoping for this because of a recent accident I had at the beginning of the year. I am not a fan of how wide they are though. Typically you can't tell shoes are wide but these you definitely can. In the description it also says barefoot shoes. This is definitely not true. These shoes are loud when you take a step. Barefoot to me says quite and you cant really feel them. I could feel them for sure and again, they're loud. I personally was not a fan of these shoes. It does say no arch support so I just added my supports to them. There was enough room inside of them for me to do this so that was a plus, but my toes still rubbed the top of the inside of the shoe. My supports do not give any extra padding in the toebox area. There is a good grip on the bottom, so I would say they would be a good hiking boot for someone.

Fantastic barefoot shoes!
I got these to have something a little more durable than my regular canvas sneakers for the winter and boy, do they do the trick!! They are SUPER comfortable on my wide foot and don’t rub at all, anywhere. They are nice and durable and I haven’t met a puddle yet that could take them down. The gray is a pretty neutral that goes with everything. And the laces are plenty long enough to tie them comfortably. (Short shoelaces are a pet peeve. If you’re looking for a grippy all-terrain barefoot shoe, this is a great choice!
