It's like being barefoot but with an arch support
I have what my wife calls Fred Flintstone feet. Most shoes do not fit well. A friend suggested I try some of these shoes.I decided to get the zero drop style shoes and I have been wearing them exclusively since they arrived.Here are my thoughts. Pain and tingling in my feet, has almost disappeared I believe that this is a result of my feet fitting comfortably in the shoes. The zero drop sole, has made me feel like I am barefoot with an arch support. I had to wear an ankle compressor. I have not needed it at all for the last week. I also have minor issues with my hip flexor, likely caused from form issues playing disc golf. My hips feel more properly aligned now because my feel are at an equal position.I have so far worn these for general wear. For working out and for playing Disc Golf. In each instance I feel more assured in my step and have had less pain than I get from my Nike air, shoes.When I play Disc Golf it is generally in the woods in all types of terrain conditions and so far I have had no issues. If you have wider feet, these are a dream.Sizing: this is important. I wear a 9.5 generally in most shoes. The listing suggested buying at 1 size smaller in this case. I ignored that and pur based a size 10. This turned out to be the correct decision because the size 10 actually fits perfectly. The build quality of the shoe is actually great. Traction is solid but do not recommend playing Disc golf post rain in these. They are not waterproof and also will slip on the concrete pad which could lead to injury.Negatives: for Disc golf, I have a few friends who wear these and they said that 4-6 months of regular play will be the limit for these, so I plan on ordering a couple pairs I would like to see a tougher layer of rubber on the front inside of the foor up around the first two toes, be cause when teeing off on the concrete pads, your toe on the back foot tends to drag. This eats up the sole leading to the shorter lifespan of the shoe.Other than that, I am a fan.

Great shoes!
I bought a pair of Joomra barefoot shoes and loved them, so I told my husband he needed to try them. He found them to be very comfortable and we both wear them frequently.I recently had a hip replacement, and these barefoot shoes have been a godsend! No socks necessary, and they slip on fairly easily (I do use a long handled shoehorn though.) The shoes are very grippy on the bottom so you won’t slip in them easily and that’s given me peace of mind knowing I can walk in them confidently. I wear them to physical therapy and my PT was impressed by them and he ended up getting a pair of barefoot shoes for himself and was wearing them.I highly recommend trying a pair of barefoot shoes for yourself. There is a short period of getting used to walking in them, but they will soon become your favorite shoes.

Good for the price
I wanted to try barefoot shoes, and the price was cheap on these. Out of the box they are super comfy as a daily wear shoe. I have always required extra inserts as a plus sized person, but I'm trying to strengthen my feet and these feel great with factory inserts. Within two weeks the shoelaces pulled out of the velcro, and then their outer layer of color came off. But I was able to continue using the plastic slider to tighten, then I tied like a normal shoelace, and they are still functional. I feel like I got what I paid for, and the shoes themselves are still in great shape...even after being thrown in the washer.

Very worth the price, crazy comfortable
Had some ladies at the Dr's office compliment my shoes, so I pulled up my order show them where I got them from and turns out I've had them almost exactly a year now! So figured I would review...So straight to the point, they're pretty fricking awesome shoes. Very comfortable, crazy easy to put on and take off, and haven't shown any kinds of real wear on this year I've had them.Once I've fitted to my desired tightness, they never really got looser, so I've never had to adjust them.I've worn them to work, hiking, running, just going out the the car in middle of night etc.Wearing these after walking around 12hrs in full on boots is a gift in itself honestly.Hiking is my favorite, you feel like you're walking on earth itself, with a very slight barrier. I actually don't mind walking through mud and puddles, cause of how easily they dry on their own as you walk.Cleaning them is very, very easy, you can literally wring out the water and lay them out to dry lol.Only negative I've seen is they are very slippery on wet, smooth surfaces like a mossy river rock or freshly mopped floor, they can become ice skates at this point, but to that degree, all shoes become less reliable.For the $40 I spent, I would say 100% worth I spent on them.
