Excellent value for the price
I'm relatively new to the "minimalist" or "zero drop" shoe category but I did invest in a rather expensive pair of Sandals that I wore the entire summer exclusively. Yeah, that's how much I liked them.Living in the Midwest, that type of shoe is a seasonal luxury so I knew I needed to find some closed toe shoes in the same type. Rather than go with an ultra expensive shoe, I decided to try out these.You won't find much arch support in a minimalist shoe and that's OK; the foot was designed a certain way and using a shoe that mimics barefoot supports that reasoning. With just a thin, removable insole, you'll feel like you're walking on the ground; no huge arches or unneeded cushion to be found.You'll also find that the toe box is very roomy. As someone with a wide foot (but only in the front) this has been a Godsend. The calluses I once had between my toes and on the outside of my big toe are gone. I no longer feel like my feet have been bound all day! And even if this shoe feels a little loose, it's never uncomfortable for walking nor does it feel like it will slip off.In my region, this is definitely a late spring to early autumn choice.I liked these so much, several friends and family members are now wearing them.My five star rating is based on price vs expectation vs execution. For inexpensive footwear, I am very pleased with this product and will be adding other colors to my collection.

Great Entry Into Zero Drop Shoes
I've been wearing these shoes for about two months now and they are the best shoes I have ever owned. The increased tactile response from these shoes has improved my overall balance in such a short time that I wonder why humans ever developed "comfortable lazy shoes." The fit is true to size and you will not want to go bigger as you have the toe spread that "normal" shoes don't have. If you go bigger you'll probably have way too much room in the toe area, side to side. I removed the inner sole to make the shoe as barefoot as possible and there is still plenty of comfort while being able to feel everything your feet comes in contact with. I wear them out shopping, fishing, hiking, and biking and they are the best. I can't attest to the longevity of them yet but they do appear to be holding up well and I have used them on rocky shore line as well as dirt trails. I have also noticed that I have less fatigue and less stress on my knees wearing these shoes, in comparison to normal shoes that when you switch back to them feel like you have weights attached to your feet. I only wish I could wear them at work as well but I work in a warehouse environment which requires steel toe shoes. I definitely recommend people try these shoes or some other zero drop type shoe as you will fall in love with them

Pretty Good
These are the first pair of "minimalist" shoes I have ever purchased. Out of the box I can safely say that these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. These would be good for home "slippers", water shoes for me floating the river, fishing, anything really. I have jogged in them, worked in them, and lounged in them. I have been wanting to buy a pair for a while so I decided to give it a shot.Pros:- Excellent fit- Very light- Slight arch support- Move excellently with my feet- Very durable feeling sole.- You feel what is beneath your feet without killing your feet.- Excellent price to try out if you haven't before.Cons:- I do not feel these will last long. The sole is slightly coming apart at the sides.- The back above the heel rubs awkwardly against your ankle.Full disclosure, I bought these first to try for work. I have worn them for over 10 hours a day being on my feet all the time. They are holding up pretty well. The rubbing on my ankle does cause some discomfort, so I have been putting band aids at rub point just to thoroughly test these out. They are extremely comfortable if it wasn't for the rubbing. I will say that I liked the concept of these shoes so much that I have bought another pair from a different company, which have not arrived, just to try them out as well. I will forever be thankful to Hiitave for helping me get hooked on this kind of shoe. I honestly don't believe I will use a regular pair of shoes again. And not to sound like a snake oil salesman, but I would add that since my basketball days in high school, I have had issues with foot, knee, and hip pain. Since wearing these shoes, most have lessened substantially. I find that to be interesting. I also realized how much of a Heel Striker I am while walking, so I naturally had to alter how I walked so as not to kill my feet. I now walk with a much lighter step instead of a stomp. Its pretty weird but cool. I realize now how unnatural it is to walk around with heavy soled shoes. Like I said, I don't ever think I will go back to regular shoes.

Worth every penny! Will for sure buy another pair (or 2)
I bought these for Yoga at home and they feel FANTASTIC! I have severe neuropathy in my legs and feet due to having a serious back injury. I'm doing yoga and using these shows to help "reshape" my feet after walking wrong for almost 3 years because of my injury, these shoes are incredible and I can't wait to slip them on in thr morning time start my workout.10/10 recommend

Excellent quality!
I have flat feet that were destroyed by military service i went from a size 10D to a 13EEEEE. Every step is painful unless I'm barefoot on a flat floor.I bought a pair of these 2 years ago and they're still showing very little wear. I just bought 2 more pairs. The most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I've spent thousands over the years trying to find that shoe that doesn't kill me.I love these shoes!!!

So comfortable!
I don’t leave many reviews but decided I must for these shoes. It is my first time wearing a ‘barefoot’ shoe and I am super impressed. I have worn them for several weeks now and I can honestly say they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. So far they are holding up very well with no separation of the sole. I will definitely be purchasing another pair!

Comfier that I was expecting
Great start with these guys. True to size, very comfy, and looks as advertised. No negatives right now, we’ll see how they hold up. Very happy. Will strongly consider a 2nd pair.

If they don't fit, the restocking fee is over $20, not worth the risk buying these.
Bought size 10.5 for my husband(his usual size),they were too big.He tried them on, indoors, and put them back in the bag.Refund for these $65 shoes is $43.They appear to be made decently enough,but it’s unfortunate that a full refund isn’t available.Lost over $20 to try on a pair of these shoes.Not worth the loss in my opinion.Disappointing.
