These are Wonderful!!!
This is my first Xero brand shoe. I have been wearing Whitin brand barefoot minimalist shoes (3 styles of them) that I also purchased on Amazon. I wanted a sandal style that I could wear with socks when I wanted to (nothing between the toes) and these looked like they would work well. I wore them yesterday after they arrived and they feel great! The size 7 fit with plenty of room for toes to stretch forward when walking. I like how they adjust to fit the width. Since I didn't have to get used to a barefoot shoe, these felt perfect right off the bat. These are definitely my new sandals!!! My Teva's feel so heavy and clunky now after wearing these Xero's. They will also make great indoor (slippers) shoes with socks in the colder months, so will be wearing them year round.

These are the best sandles
I love these candles. My previous pair I have had for about 5 years and wear them all the time. I am a simple person who only wears 2 pairs of shoes, boots for around the farm or if its cold out and sandals for all the other times. I have hiked, done farm work and anything you would do with any other shoe with these shoes and they are great. I even wore them in the granite bottom streams in NY and never slipped. The old ones are still in great shape except that the hook and loop finally gave out so I had to knot the back together. I finally bought a new pair and happy to say they are still the same as the old pair. Other xero shoes they have changed and made the sole thicker these are still the same feel the ground type sole that I love. Wish I could say the same for the trail boots. Hopefully these sandles hold up just as well or better than the old pair. I have back and foot issues and going bearfoot has helped me so much. It takes some getting used to but once you do you will never want to go back to regular shoes.

Too wide - my feet slide around.
These seem nice - I like the flexible and flat sole, but they don’t work well for narrow feet. My feet slide around even after adjusting the straps. My husband has wide feet and loves his, so they do work for some folks.

Love these overall, but the little cup on the back is annoying at times
These were my first barefoot shoes and I think they're great overall. But I did have to get used to holding my foot a certain way while driving, or else the little raised area on the heel would dig into my heel. I think I'd remove that if I were designing these shoes. Other than that, though, the soles are thin and flexible with great ground feel, a well as being easy to keep clean, the laces are fully adjustable and very comfortable, and the toe box is quite wide. I like them a lot!!

Great barefoot sandals
Comfortable. Good price. I bought a second pair of zero sandals from the makers.

Floppy, Not Good In Water
I got these on a recommendation to use for biking/light hiking/other outdoor activity and quite frankly I hate them. I usually wear size 9.5-10 because I have super wide feet and struggle with edema, but I bought these in a 9 because they were said to run big. Even with all that, the front strap is very loose and there is no way tighten it, so these flop around with every step and I tripped a couple of times before I learned to walk like a stupid clown. The velcro on the ankle strap is only at the end, so when I have them tightened around my ankles, there is less than an inch of connection (again, I have large swollen feet so this shocked me), and the strap sticks out and catches on things with the exposed velcro.Possibly the worst shoes I have ever tried to cross a shallow stream in - the velcro immediately came apart in the water and because of how floppy they are in the front, they drag and suck up stones pebbles from the river - I tripped and went down on a knee and finally had to take them off and go barefoot. Then the velcro didn’t want to stay connected once wet. I do a lot of hiking/backpacking so I’m not some uncoordinated git. I would honestly rather just go in Rainbows.

The best minimalist sport sandals for rucking & water sport and more!!!
Absolutely love these sport sandals! I normally wear a 7.5; order 1/2 size down as suggested by manufacturer and they fit great. The style is sporty and light weight. The soles provide enough protection while the straps are soft. I just wore them for a ruck (hence the slightly swollen feet pictured, lol) and they held up fantastically.
