Review: Practical - I bought these for my partner last Christmas and now he’s my fiancé! He loves them and wears them for the gym everyday. The comfort is top level but the flatness is perfect for deadlifting.
Review: Gamechangers! - Where shall I start, these shoes have changed my feet for the better! I'm roughly one year in my barefoot journey, from mostly slippers and as soon as the weather permitted, to fully barefoot in nature, and then these shoes. I takes a bit of time to get used to things, the different stance, the somewhat odd fit at first, and the way you walk a bit different in it. And you need to train your muscles too. Now, I love them, use them for everything, even did a 50KM walk in them! Not going to lie, that was a bit much to ask from my feet, as the path was often not very even, but the shoes handled it without any issues. Would I do it tomorrow, I would have no doubt and use them again. (And since I walked in them for 6 months plus, my feet are up to the job as well.) On a note to this, after a year, my feet have changed shape, my toes are straighter, and less crooked! but... also a lot wider. So, half my shoes are now very uncomfortable to wear. This is not a bad thing mind you, but I did think it is important to note this if you go the full barefoot journey. For me Office shoes where the biggest issue (tapered nose).. but some new wide barefoot shoes helped me out. I hope they will make a cycling shoe one day, as that is currently my biggest challenge. sure in the gym I just use these and rely on the strength of my feet, but on the road bike and mountain bike I need something with a stronger sole. If you made it this far.. don't let the small negatives defy you, get on the journey and heal your feet. Hope this helped you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great all round shoe!
*by T***R on 15 February 2023*

Purchased these shoes from Amazon. An amazing shoe that I have now worn for 20 months at work, at the gym and just generally outside everywhere I go - same pair. Will be buying another pair very soon as the sole has gone!
