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

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.

After putting the left shoe on, I have to always adjust some fabric near the top part of the ankle. It seems to be not fully stitched.Love the shoes though. Use it regularly. Light and comfortable.

I saw my brother wear barefoots in the US and working out in the gym, he asked me to try it out once, others in Amazon were to costly like andune and with the cost of vibram I can buy a basic laptop...LOL ..felt so unjustified like 20k for a few inches of canvas and feet shaped soles should be a joke.Then my eyes fell on these, thought to try it out as it's just 800 bucks and would be a great try out pair so that I could decide whether to buy the big boys or not, but I was wrong , here are the pros and cons-Pros1. Sleek design2. Pure barefoot feeling, you will feel like you are wearing a thick socks with even thicker sole3. Grip is good for all aerobic exercises, I used it for sprints, it's a whole different experience.4. Very affordable for the premium quality5. Feels very durable, stitches and glues are on par6. No socks needed7. No rashes faced even with rigorous workouts ( grappling)8. Sole is thick, insides not coming off while removingCons1. Not a great brand, ajanta is pretty old with no marketing of its productsI would recommend it highly to whoever who wants a barefoot experience at an affordable price rather than going for expensive ones, believe be you won't look at shoes the same way again after using barefoot shoes..cheers

Shoes are great but they are not exactly their size. I ordered 6 number but they are as large as number 7.Other than size the shoe is worth it.

I am glad I went with impakto barefoot shoe. Insoles are gummed to the outsole but you can remove them easily to get a note barefoot feeling. I have flat foot so the overly cushiony insole are perfect for me and made me glad. Don't remove insole and avoid andune if you have extreme flat foot. Fits according to their size chart. The insole for size 9 was 28 cm contrary to 27.2 cm listed on chart. There's space of extra 1.5 cm to your foot length. Wide toe shapes toe box with protection in front. Grip is good. Bought another pair for my mom. Colours are vibrant. Breathable material. Premium in real life compared to pictures. Lets you have natural gait with cushioning from hard surfaces. Must buy for people with flat feet.

I really like the product. Great style & comfy. Prefect fit. Quality is great.

Anyone thinking to buy these shoes ,plz Don't!!!! I bought them thinking will get a cheaper alternative to andune shoes which i wore for 2 years (wanted one more pair to wear at home) but the ajanta company has just used the word barefoot shoe as marketing gimmick, nothing else!!It only has wide toe box & zero heel drop features of the barefoot shoe!It is not a barefoot shoe as it has a foamy & thick sole, a false instep and a toe spring . Also it is far from being flexible like a true barefoot shoe! . The company is just fooling people by marketing a lightweight shoe as a barefoot shoe!!!Shame on them ! I am feeling like my 900 rs got stolen!😭😭😭

I like fitting, lightness, comfort,etc. I don't like pairs is not exactly same. That's the only issue see.
