PERFECT!!!
I am ecstatic about the quality, looks, and comfort of these little shoes! Fit perfectly, so unbelievably comfy, and still zero-drop, which is the only thing I can use these days; the only type of footwear that doesn't cause a whole bevy of trouble for my feet.I love zero-drop, or "barefoot", shoes. The only thing I've never really cared for was the decidedly unappealing looks that usually accompany them. They're usually fine for jeans or shorts or swimwear/beach attire. I don't usually mind them. But now that I can use no other type footwear, I was looking for a more "stylish" version. These shoes somewhat resemble "Hey Dude" brand shoes, have a wonderfully soft and cushy insole that may or may not be memory foam, and embrace the foot like a glove. They have laces which I appreciate, as I like the shoe around my foot to be snug. I realize the memory foam is not a true "barefoot" experience, but when walking on gravel (our driveway and the road on which we live), it is very appreciated. I like barefoot on trails and on sand. Not so much on pointed and jagged gravel.Because they are so appealing to look at, I will likely order several pair--one for my daily walks on said pointy and ungainly gravel, and others to wear to church and grocery shopping. They're priced very well and so much more affordable than the high-dollar brands on line. Recommend!PS There was one issue. The packaging was rough. They arrived rather mangled and bent out of shape. One of the pipings on the left shoe had torn loose. Easily fixed with E600 and a Q-tip, but one doesn't appreciate having to fix a brand new shoe. Still, all in all, these are definitely worth the price and will be a favorite for a while!

These are comfortable, only downside is they don’t breathe.
I love the fit. There’s no pressure on my big toe. However, I will need to find a different pair of barefoot shoes, since these don’t breathe. They are “canvas” but seem to be “polyester canvas,” so plastic. My feet have started breaking out on the bottom, so I suspect the inserts have a chemical or latex in them. I’m going to try removing the insert. This did work, so yay! I wish they were the ultimate answer, but they did show that what I’m looking for will be found in a barefoot-style shoe like these. I had to downgrade the stars to a 4.I’ve now had the shoes for months. I’ve hiked in them & worn them just about everywhere. My main objection is, still, that they don’t breathe. However, they have kept me from falling, since I can feel uneven ground. Right now, they are my go to everyday shoe. I can move quickly & safely on just about every surface, without slipping. If they’d been true canvas (cotton), this review would be a 5.

They run big!
I normally wear a 10 in women's shoes, as my feet are too wide for a 9-9.5. But I didn't have to make up for the width in these shoes! Traded in my size 10 for a size 9 and they fit perfectly! Super comfortable to walk in and no toe squeezing! I will be buying more colors :)

Size
They look big, but run small. Not quite wide enough. Also, living in a rural area, we don't have a UPS store anywhere near. One pair came in a bag and the other came in a large box with other items. I want to send both pairs in the same bag, but not given the option to save return costs. Was told they would be shipped together to save on packaging.

I purchased a 2nd pair! They are so comfortable and stylish. Can't wait for my 2nd pair!

Boxy looking
Cute until they're on, then just feel boxy on my feet. But comfortable!

Zero drop?
I've been wearing barefoot shoes for several years and have tried many different brands. I usually wear the Whitins loafers for work and their sneakers for casual wear. I saw these and decided to give them a try since they looked like the Whitins but slightly different colors. I bought my regular size and they fit fine. But I did notice that they aren't as wide, despite being a wide size, which is fine for short term use but after wearing them all day you really feel it. I also noticed that these have cushion, which isn't my problem, but they don't feel like they're zero drop. I kept banging my heel into the ground while walking as if I was wearing regular shoes! So, I don't know if they're simply not zero drop or if they're just so cushioned that they feel like that have a raised heel. Either way I'll be sticking with Whiting for this style of shoe.
