Impakto Barefoot Rooted Comfortable Big Toe Box Gym, Cross Training, Walking Shoes for Men

Very comfortable, snug fit. Perfect size and very easy to wear. The padding inside is nice. Overall, the shoes fell sturdy while walking/running. If you are wearing barefoot style for the first, it will take a few days to get used to it (when dealing with uneven/slippery surfaces) as the body is used to proper, regular soles. However, the grip is very good, and they don't slip at all. All good with the new pair. Will review it again after a few months of use.

I initially hesitated a lot before placing the order and even tried to cancel it after ordering. The shoe has super grip, light weight and comfortable and must have for the gym. This is best compared to the shoes available even at 3k to 5k rupees. Loving it. Design could be attractive with reflectors. Size is perfect and show is also flexible.

The product is really good for its price, that too coming from an Indian manufacturer. I have used barefoot style shoes extensively since 2013 -- 2 Merrell shoes with Vibram sole (Very good sole performance, grip wise) , 1 Azani; an Indian copy with very poor sole performance (grip) when even slightly wet or touches water. And now I have a Vibram Five Finger, super comfortable and really barefoot style with amazing sole performance, even when it is just 2-4 mm. But this one is really good with fit and comfort, even though it has thinck sole and heavy insole. Shoe is much heavier than all other barefoot style shoes I have used and weight balance is shifted towards front. Even though it is not technically a barefoot type in terms of foot perception, wide toe-box and minimal heel-to-toe drop makes it really comfortable. Also treads and sole is really good and gives feeling of secure grip. Easy to put on and the design is just right with proper sizing compared to normal shoe size, with the band over tongue giving a secure fit. I have not really tried running on this, but think that due to the good elastic band over the tongue, it will not come out. Personally insole thickness and weight of shoe makes my feet ache sometimes, but I cannot complain as this is the best shoe I have found yet for my need given the prize (got it at ₹895) and the usage (I can wear it to office without anyone noticing, well almost). The finger/toe like design marking is unnecessary and makes it a more noticeable than necessary (not that I am complaining, as I have worn Vibram Five Fingers to office on purpose to start a discussion on barefoot style shoes and foot health that is damaged big time by stupidly indoctrinating people that high-heeled, cramped-toe shoes are really good for running and walking). So, I am not complaining about fashion and comfort of this shoe, but instead appreciate about the healthy aveneue it provides for maintaining better foot health at such affordable cost. Also thicker sole gives more protection from shoe getting wet even with little water on road (as happens with VFF). I bought one for my teenage son too to give him an option to improve his foot health.

I have been using Impakto shoes for the last 2 years. I have 2 pairs of different colours (planning to buy more) and my wife has one too. They are so comfortable that I have stopped wearing any other shoe altogether. I wear these all the time. The grip is super, you get to spread your toes and the cushioning is very good. With the insole on, you can walk on any uneven surface. You won’t get a true barefoot experience, but it is worth it. The colour of the insole is such that it gets dirty very easily. Rest of the shoe is very easy to clean, you can dry brush or wipe with damp cloth or machine wash them (but I prefer not to). With very heavy use, the sole lasted more than a year, after which the treading was worn out, but there were no cracks. And since it is cheap, you can keep replacing with new ones with the same look. Don’t buy if you work near water or want to get shoes wet frequently. Don’t use for long distance running, however good for walking and short sprints. Once you start using it regularly, you can’t go back to ordinary shoes

These shoes are good for what I got them for - daily home wear with socks in winter. All I wanted was broad toebox shoe without a heal, and this fitted the bill and was cheap. They are very comfortable and have a cushion inside. So good for everyday wear, and I have been wearing them for about a fortnight without a complain. The quality is average. They are however not bearfoot as advertised - as they are well padded. I wear a lot of barefoot shoes, and these are not like any of them given the padding. Hence, they should not be called barefoot. Therefore, for those looking to buy barefoot please be aware, they are similar, but do not meet all the criteria for barefoot shoes.

I must say it gives natural massage and feel to your feet. Very simple and refine.

Such a bad service and quality

the shoes are comfortable, the sole is good and the price is good. but they are very thick so you can use them in himalayas but not in tropical Indian climate, here your feet will be sweating and smelling in these shoes. so my request for the impakto company: please make a proper lightweight breathable barefoot shoes, dont need to waste so much material to make these heavy shoes
