Are these shoes actually waterproof?

The upper is waterproof vegetable-tanned imitation leather and the brand calls them splash-proof. They handle rain, slush and puddles, but they are not designed for standing in deep water.

How do they fit compared with regular shoes?

The wide toe box and zero-drop sole feel roomier and flatter than conventional shoes. Most buyers take their usual size, but those between sizes may want to size up for thick socks.

Are they good for running?

They are built for walking and everyday wear. The thin, flat sole gives ground feel but little cushioning, so they are not ideal for long runs on pavement.

Can I wear them in summer?

The insulated lining is made for cold weather. In warm conditions feet will run hot, so a lighter unlined barefoot shoe suits summer better.

Do they need a break-in period?

The upper softens with wear, and the flat sole takes a few walks to get used to if you are new to barefoot shoes. Start with short outings.

What is the sole made of?

A non-slip rubber outsole with an anti-slip pattern, kept thin and flexible for a close-to-the-ground feel.
