Good quality

The shoes have good grip and the top seems a little water resistant. I haven’t gotten them to wet just wore them in the rain and have spilled stuff and the tops were still dry. Comfortable too! You could leave’em on all day and wouldn’t even realize. Plus they’re easily flexible to whatever you’re doing

Very comfortable zero-drop shoes for wide feet.

Having tried several zero-drop “minimalist” shoes from several manufactures, this is the best by far “casual” shoes for wide feet. Like other Xero shoes, this has an ultra-flexible sole with great ground feel. It also has a wide toe box, but unlike other Xero shoes, it has some extra room around the ball of the foot. This allows the foot bulge over, just a bit, without feeling overly constricted (a problem I’ve run into with multiple shoes from multiple brands).These are very useable for walking, having put in 5-8 mile walks without issue. I’ve not had issues with the cold (in above freezing environment), though I suspect they’ll have issues with hot sidewalk/roads, as they are close to the Hana (but the slip on of the Aptos is a better fit). They also survive quick dashes, but I wouldn’t jog in them, personally.It’s worth noting, these are not good rain shoes (even for small puddles) and if purchasing over, I’d tend towards a darker version, as the light grey shows the dirt (a black pair of Hana, also made from hemp looks newer/cleaner). That said, I’ve worn my in the rain too often, and they dry out well, suffering only the discoloration one gets from drying out clothe wetted with less than clean water.

Do my size 11 feet need size 12?

These Aptos are almost great. I wore these for a day before I noticed these 11.5 shoes seem a little too short for my size 11 feet. My feet are 11.0" long and second toe rubs on the inside of the toe box. It's like a mild hammer-toe feeling.The reason this is occuring, is my heel doesn't stay tight enough against the back of the shoe. As I walk around the house, my feet slide forward 'slightly' in the shoes, until the longest toe (2nd toe) rubs and gets irritated.I really notice this when I stop walking suddenly. My foot goes forward and I get that old hammer-toe feeling.I've only got a few days on these shoes and I hope they will "break in" a little, with more wear. I don't care for the fit, but I'm sure that a size 12 would be too long. All my other brand size 11 shoes (running shoes, work boots, boat shoes etc) fit fine. Maybe the toe area of these shoes will expand a few mm and solve the slight hammer-toe. I also want to see how these shoes work with thick winter socks. It's going get cold soon.I got these for walking around the house and yard. Not for hiking or senior citizen 3 to 6 mile walks. I love the way these feel so much better on cold hardwood floors, than just socks.Today, I noticed my fancy NB 1540V2 (w/ roll-bars) with "NB 3810 Ultra Support Insoles", seem to feel very odd, (and heavy) after wearing my Aptos all day, before going out for a walk. I didn't enjoy the last mile very much.

A little pricey.

Needed some casual barefoot, minimalist shoes for everyday wear and Tai Chi.My wife already had a pair so I sort of knew what I was getting into. Didn't really understand how stiff the fabric was. Also wish there were more colors/options but for men's there were just these or the gray.I like them, wear them a lot, good shoes, but should literally be 1/2 to 2/3rds the price.

Great comfort, they run a little big

I love these slip on shoes. I have other shoes from Xero and like the others, they run a tad large for my feet. I ordered a half size down and I could have probably even went with a full size down. Besides that, these are a dream. They are almost like wearing nothing on your feet. And they look kinda like vans. I wear them a lot and they are extremely comfortable and stylish. If you lift weights they are good for squats and deadlifts as well as just casual shoes. I highly recommend them.

Properly sized toe box

I use these as house shoes, so I don’t know how well they would work long distances. I have a pair of Xero shoes with conventional laces that work well for that. These slip-ons provide the same good fit for your toes not to be scrunched up. They don’t slip at the heel, so they are not overly roomy.

the shoes stain very easily

The shoe fit was OK. The feeling of being close to the ground was fine. But the stains very easily and things that I tried like washing with hand soap or even laundry soap just made it even worse. The stain has not gone away.
