Review: Feel the breeze! Phenomenal shoes! Great value Couldn’t resist a second pair to keep clean. - You can truly feel the breeze through these shoes with average to thin socks. I love it. My feet are always hot and sweaty. Which Segways into my only minor issue with the shoes. And to their credit, I believe my sweaty feet wear out MOST insoles more rapidly than other folks feet. lol! Also I think the insoles are designed to let you feel the ground after they’re “broken-in”, which is what I want. And they are available for replacement for like $2.99, so I’m not complaining. Just informing. The rest of this long review is all positive. The insoles are my only small con, see the last photo. They halfway wore out in 3 months of extremely heavy use. So maybe it’s almost a feature and not a flaw. You want to feel the ground? Keep your insoles. Don’t mind feeling it or not? Buy replacements. I’ll keep mine till they fall apart. These shoes have acted as my one and only pair of shoes. I mean no other shoes used at all except slides occasionally for convenience. Any time I actually want to move around or walk/run efficiently, these shoes and only these are worn. I can stop on a dime/turn on a dime oh so comfortably. I’ve been working and exercising both indoors/outdoors alike, and enjoying leisure, day in and day out in these shoes. This is my second pair! I wish the grey was darker but who cares. They are THAT good. The other ones are still great. I’ve just dedicated them to the work at the construction site and the outdoors. Because they are SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE than work boots(obviously). I love sneaking around(OSHA) in them on the job site. Another worker was walking by and my feet were at his eye-level. In passing, he poked my big toe and laughed! Lmbo. You’re technically supposed to wear puncture resistant, steel toed boots. But I’ve been doing end stage HVAC construction so it’s easy to stay safe. Just watch out for occasional nails and metal shards. I bet I’m more comfortable in my actual physical shoes than anyone else there! I wouldn't even call this a gripe, because I’m keeping them. But the “dark grey” color is not dark. I’m tempted to return them and get black with gum sole, but I don’t like gum soles so I think I’ll keep them. They look great. Love the black strings and blue accent design on the sides. Such a great pair of shoes for the price. Even if they did cost more from what I can tell, they’d be worth it. Perhaps I’ll review again or update how long they last. [desertcart prompted to review the “slipperiness”] They aren’t slippery at all to me! A 26 year old, average weight male. I went from Addidas with a sole smooth as butter! I would slip as soon as there was enough rain to coat the bottom of my shoes. So immediately after it started raining. These have phenomenal grip. I use them for every day use rain or shine. They have also performed wonderfully on my trail hikes here and there as well! I love feeling the rocks, and tree roots beneath my feet. You’ll even feel the subtle crunch of leaves and pine straw beneath your feet. They fit great too. No surprise. I have worn US size 11 in men’s for all my tennis shoes since I was a teen. I didn’t check a conversion chart or anything. Just ordered 11s and they fit exactly as I would hope. Couldn’t be happier.
Review: These shoes are amazing!! - I tend not to spend time writing reviews, but I am so happy with these I felt obligated. I think my wife is getting sick of me talking about how much I like these shoes! I’m a 44 year old male, 5’11” around 190. I’ve been fairly active for years, running lifting, hiking etc. I’ve had some pretty bad plantar fasciitis issues lately so I’ve been trying all kinds of stuff to see what works. Which, is how I ended up with these. I was hearing about the need to strengthen my feet, and one way to accomplish that is by sometimes wearing a flatter shoe. I gotta say, these are literally the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. After buying them we went on a big road trip to multiple national parks and I hiked all over with these things without issues. They feel so good and form to my feet so well. At this point, I hate when I have to wear other types of shoes anymore. The way I describe it is like this, normal shoes make your feet do what they want, but your feet make these shoes do what they want. It’s such a better feeling. I’m not saying these cured my plantar fasciitis, I’m still working on that. I also don’t run in these, only walk and hike in them. But, I bought two more pairs in case they stop making them. That’s how much I love them. If you’re considering trying some barefoot type shoes, don’t hesitate! A final note, these breathe so well. I can wear them all day without my feet sweating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made.
*by J***E on September 7, 2026*

I'm giving a 4 stars because I have tried them on and they are very comfortable. They are well constructed. Beyond that I can't comment until I've actually worn them. That's why I don't review items the day after receiving them. I sent the 12.5 back and got the size 12 mens. They are well constructed and comfortable and nice looking. I received compliments. I ordered these based on reviews on line that rated them as an inexpensive, well made choice.
