TSLA Men's Trail Running Shoes, Lightweight Athletic Zero Drop Barefoot Shoes, Non Slip Outdoor Walking Minimalist Shoes

I typically measure on a brannock device a 9 arch and 8 toes length. I bought 8.5.I am fitting well across the ball of foot and have good room in toes.I only just opened the package and tried them on, so no review on durability. The top material is pretty light. But I like the appearance.These don't look like clown shoes (I feel like some of these barefoot/minimalist shoes have such wide toe box that they look clownish)I think they are very comfy. I am going to try to use at gym tonight.I think they would also make great travel shoes.Update: used them for about three days now. I can't stop wearing them. Great in the gym. I can feel my feet are sore, but in a muscles way. So unless I am just convincing myself, it feels like there is a workout for my feet. Which is the point. If almost rather wear these than flip-flops or slides.

I have owned barefoot shoes for almost 20 years - back to the PUMA H.Street days even before Vibram FiveFingers were only a boating shoe and long before Vivobarefoot created their first shoe. I've owned the hand made Vivobarefoot leather dress shoes from Portugal, the original Nike Free Zero Knit shoes, the original FiveFingers 1st gen. I've been a barefoot style runner and hiker and used just about every brand and style available. I've been in the barefoot game since before there was a barefoot running book published (we used Pose Technique back then). I'm just establishing myself as experienced with barefoot shoes. So, what do I think of these Tesla "Merrell Vapor Glove" knock offs?You get what you pay for - meaning you get a $35 version of a $100 shoe. The quality is evident in the material chosen and the workmanship. The fabric is definitely durable and, if not abused, will last until the sole wears smooth. That's great. On my Tesla shoes, the glue connecting the sole to the fabric was visible in sections. This is a $35 shoe that is well worth the investment. But the fabric also looks and feels like inexpensive nylon and not up to the same look and feel as you'll see with name brand shoes like Nike, adidas, Puma, Merrell, Vivobarefoot, etc.If I were to rank the quality of materials and workmanship with the major barefoot shoes brands selling on Amazon.... Vivobarefoot is an easy first. Merrell is second. Xero Shoes is third. Whtn is fouth. Telsa is firth. This is not to say Tesla is junk construction. It's not. It's just not as high quality looking - but the shoes are durable, well designed and perfect for their purpose.For 1/3 the price these Telsa barefoot shoes are perfect for someone testing out barefoot style shoes. The thin sole, 0mm drop, and no arch support is absolutely perfect for a barefoot shoe. These Tesla will give you a true barefoot shoe experience.If you are testing out barefoot shoes, or need a cheaper barefoot shoe for running, hiking or the gym, these are perfect. They cost 1/3 the price of the Merrell Vapor Gloves they mimick. As so many other reviewers have said, and as the photo shoe, these are basically Merrell Vapor Glove 3 or 4 shoes.My advice is... BUY THESE ... if you want to try barefoot running shoes for the first time or if you are an experienced barefoot runner, walker or hiker and need a sport style shoe that can withstand your workouts.At $35 these Teslas are incredibly inexpensive. At $100 Merrell Vapor Gloves are better made, look higher quality and have a name brand. Plus they created the design that Tesla imitated. At $130 Xero Shoes have about the same (maybe a little less) quality than Merrell and have more choices. At $170 Vivobarefoot are the premium barefoot shoe, used the most durable and best looking fabrics, but I wouldn't trash Vivos hiking or at the gym... not when I can use a $35 dollar shoe... or get a Merrell or Xero Shoe on sale.Click like if this review helped you.

I am very much into the minimalist/barefoot shoe style, so I've been transitioning all my footwear to things that are zero drop/thin soles/ample toe box. I own a couple pairs of Xero Prios that I use at work and for running. I've been trying out some other minimalist shoes from Amazon to see what else is out there at various price points. These TSLA bk30/32's are the most budget-friendly trail/running shoes on Amazon that I've found. I got them to use at work in healthcare, so not necessarily for running heavy miles. This review is 3 weeks after purchase.Sizing- I wear a 9.5 in the Xero Prios that I wear with and without socks. I saw reviews that stated the TSLA shoe ran long, and the recommendation was to size down from half sizes, so I got a 9. The length was spot on for me. The toe box is not as roomy as my Prios, but the upper is flexible so my toes don't feel cramped. The midfoot feel is comfortably snug. No heel slippage for me, and no hot spots, although I've only walked in them.Sole- The sole is thinner than the 5.5mm Prio, but I'm not sure exactly how thick it is. Lots of ground feel and flexibility. The sole wraps around the toe box a bit, which is a nice layer of protection from toe jamming. My guess is durability will be sufficient for what I'm using them for, walking in hospital hallways. I'm sure heavy use outdoors would have different results, but the material doesn't seem any less durable than your average outsole.Upper- seems like it's made from your basic synthetic mesh-like fabric materials, with a couple of small thin plastic overlays on the medial and lateral side of the toe area, I'm assuming for durability and protection. The tongue is thin, and sometimes slides over to the side, but that's a small inconvenience for me and not unusual in shoes. It's comfortable and breathable. Again, seems like your standard upper; I don't expect it to last forever or fall apart overnight either.Where the upper meets the sole- The idea is flexibility and thinness, and I've noticed some drawbacks for shoes with this design. In this particular pair I've found a spot on the medial side of my left shoe near where my big toe flexes that the upper is pulling away from the sole after 3 weeks of moderate use. My Xero Prios have gone thru a good deal of abuse from running and manual labor work, and they have shown similar wear and tear in those flex areas. I can live with it at this price point, and I have shoe glue if it gets worse.Conclusion: I would say it's a great value product, not really meant to last hundreds of miles of exercise, although I've read claims that it can. I enjoy wearing them; they are very lightweight, breathable, allow my feet their full range of motion, and cheap enough to replace without much internal debate. If you are interested in trying thin zero heel drop shoes but aren't ready to pay regular shoe price to experiment, these are a great starting point; their flexibility and thinness are on par with brands like Xero shoes, even if their overall quality and durability aren't.

Los compré y en el primer día se rompió el upper. No los recomiendo.

Very close to Merrell, will see how they feel wearing them in action. Quality is good, let's hope they last.
