SAGUAROWomens Mens Barefoot Shoes Minimalist Trail Runner Wide Toe Box Zero Drop Outdoor Cross Training Shoe

After reading many reviews, i ordered "True to size", but it was 1/2 size too small. Got rapid refund of this order & simultaneously placed order for NEW pair that was 1/2-size bigger than my actual foot size. Fits PERFECTLY!Have only been wearing these approx. 1-month (and not continuous wear, as it's been occasionally freezing & wet in NYC this winter, and these are mesh sneaker!) No insulation or foot warmth - but I bought these shoes for flexibility, NOT foot warmth! I have leather shoes for that. Unsure how long they'll wear ... will try to remember to report back in a few months!PROS:- V. flexible (forward/backward, twist!) & v. light, which is what i was looking for! Much more work felt by muscles of my feet, esp. inner-arch, which was exactly my goal.- Shoe sole & cut is designed to shape the inner-arch area, but there is MINIMAL support (forces inner arch muscles to actively work, rather than passively resting on shoe-supplied arch-support!)- Super-comfy from the moment i put these shoes on ... which is how i evaluate shoes, now. NO "wearing-in" period!- Roomy toe-box, but not too roomy ... I usually wear New Balance & Saucony sneakers (wide fore-foot, narrow ankles/heels). This shoe's toe-box allows full movement of individual toes, but mesh-uppers keep shoes securely snug to foot, without excess toe-space.- Individual toes NOT separated (i prefer this), only LOOKS like individual toes.- Included elastic "speed laces" (no tying shoelaces needed) with ** extra VELCRO DETAIL ** (prevents long-end from flopping around during run/walk)- Strong & secure back-of-heel Pull-on Tab (sewn-in all-along back of heel & under rubber sole ... avoid tab pull/break-off (EXCEPTION: "Black Stripe model" has only little pull-tab)- Good, grippy soles (non-slip on wet surfaces)- Also, GREAT price & v. fast delivery!CONS:- A little bit of fraying on edge-of-tongue of one shoe (may not last more than 3-6 mos, which is OK).- Possibly Interrupted Supply: Once you find the size that works well for you, perhaps order a couple back-up pairs. When Trump requested additional shipping tariffs on goods from China, these products went out-of-stock for a few wks.- City streets: Made to run/walk on DIRT TRAILS, so City-streets/sidewalks & subway-platforms can be a "sensory-challenge" ("Oh my gosh, with these shoes i feel EVERYTHING on the ground"). I generally walk 5-7 mi/day (sometimes up to 10 mi), so the balls of my feet feel tired/achy after 4-5 mi (due to less padding than most sneakers). I try to remember to bring an extra pair of more cushioned shoes, on those long-mileage days, to save the balls of my feet!FINAL TIPS:- FYI: Buy 1/2-size larger than true shoe size.- If currently wearing very supportive sneakers, gradually phase-in "wear time" of these shoes (same as all minimalist shoes). Start with 30-60 min for 1-2x per day for a few days. Alternate with wearing other flexible sneaker that's a bit LESS flexible than this shoe (e.g. Nike "Free", Puma "Ignite Netfit", Adidas "Boost", etc.) AND do Heel Raise-and-Hold for 10-count (standing on balls of your feet) with toes pointed \ /, | |, / \. Strengthens inner-arch & calf muscles, so they'll be strong-enough to support foot in minimalist shoe.If feet fine after 2-3 days, try doubling time, 2-4x per day, for several days. Do another foot check-in ... if feet still fine, should be OK to wear all-day.

I did and 8 mile hike in these, and they held up really well. I really like the feeling of being barefoot, and it feels almost exactly like being barefoot, without having little rocks stabbing your foot all the time :-) However, if you are not used to barefoot shoes, you need to know that you will absolutely feel lots of bumps through the soles. I don't find this painful or sharp, but it might be a new feeling for some people. These shoes bend super easily and are incredibly light. One thing that surprised me was that the fabric is spandex. It feels really, really, really light and I'm hoping that overtime they will be durable. I'm sure you could use these as water shoes, but the bottoms are durable enough that I will continue to use them as my daily walking and hiking shoes. I usually wear an 8.5, and these are an 8.5. They fit very well, as in they are definitely not falling off by any means, and I'm not getting any blisters. However, they *feel* much roomier than other sneakers I have bought. It almost feels like they are too big because they are so flexible and spacious inside. Day to day, I don't wear socks with them and they feel fine. On my long hike, I wore some really thin socks and I'm glad I did. It didn't feel bulky at all. But in reality, they are sitting very closely to my feet and staying on exactly as a shoe should. So they just might feel different than normal, but I felt great hiking in them and I'm glad I bought them :-)

No complaints on first impression. The insert is nicely padded, more than I expected based on the reviews. Sole is hardened rubber. I've been researching barefoot running and minimalist shoes for a while. This is a cheap entry point and appears to be made quite well. I wouldn't advise running on large loose rocks and stones but that has little to do with these shoes. If I stepped on a good size rock in my $120 runners it hurts... I would advise starting slow. If you're used to running with hard impact on your heels (you're doing it wrong) you'll want to adjust your posture and keep the weight on your calfs. It will hurt for a few days but it's better on your back and hips. Running a Spartan in a few weeks. Can't wait to get these dirty. 🤘Update: would add another star of possible. I've been wearing these for 2 months now. They're holding up well and I've given them a beating from races, hiking, swimming, and workouts. They are quite comfortable and dry quickly too. Will 100% purchase these again when I wear the life out of this pair.

They look good，wear size 7 Women in U.S.A and bought size 7 ,it fit perfectly . I use it for running.They are super comfortable.

In my opinion if you are looking for a shoe for jogging or walking this is not the shoe (I had to buy an inner sole for some comfort) It don't have any bounce it is just good for as the name say: Swamp Land.

True to size and fits like a glove - they look great and materials are quality. Nothing negative to mention. Just took a train half-way across the country and I choose these to wear onboard, -- and they were a great choice. Just ordered a second pair.

These shoes look cute, I love the color, they are a bit more like water shoes than I was expecting. I ordered my normal size, my feet are wide, but I figured that these would be stretchy - I was wrong. I was able to get them on, and wore them around the house for an hour. When I took them off there were deep red marks on my feet from the “laces.”Bottom line, I would not recommend for someone looking for a solid shoe for outdoor activities, or someone with wide feet.

I bought these as backup and house shoes, but I wear them everywhere every day (unless it has been raining) as they are so comfortable. After wearing these for months it feels very strange wearing normal shoes or boots on those occasional wet days.After looking at the sizing of other shoes I own that are either a bit too big or a bit too small and making a judgment call on what I think should be the proper size I managed to buy the absolutely perfect fit first time. I've left the inner sole in and have done nothing since unwrapping other than slip them on and wear as-is. Amazing.Most photos show a bright white colour in the design due to the lighting used for the photographs. In reality and normal lighting they are an unassuming black and dark gray colour, which I prefer.The soles don't love concrete, and have worn to some flat spots, but that's to be expected after the months of walking on hard surfaces I've done. It's not what they are intended for, but they are doing a great job nonetheless.Whenever these pair are due to be replaced I'll be looking to buy another similar pair.

I purchased the blue ones in a previous order and they fit perfectly and true to size. These pink ones were not sized properly at all. One shoe was true to size and the other shoe was 2cm larger. Far too awkward to try to wear different size shoes at the same time!If you do get sent a properly sized pair they are great for trail running (for barefoot/minimilist style runners)

Amazing! I think I have the closest size, slight, slight slight too big... I was sure I might have been wrong about what size was going to fit best, Now I can wear them with sox, might buy the next size down to run in.

The quality of the shoes has been good. The sizing is a little smaller than a regular (Nike, Asics, Reebok). The next size up would have been better for me. I run a 42 in regular sizing. This shoe as a 42 is slightly small. Usable, but small.

Item received as expected. Very useful and effective, value for money and looks good.
