- Do these shoes run true to size?
- No. Owners say they run small and there are no half sizes, so most size up. Measure your foot and compare against the brand's size chart.
- Are they good for running?
- They suit barefoot-style runners who want a zero-drop, flexible sole and ground feel. Runners used to cushioned shoes should transition slowly.
- Are they waterproof?
- No. The knit upper is not water resistant, but it dries quickly after getting wet.
- Can I use them with orthotic insoles?
- The shoe is designed to be worn flat with little cushioning, so bulky orthotics may not fit well. Thin, flat inserts work better.
- What are they best for?
- Everyday walking, standing, light hiking and barefoot-style running. They are not built for heavy cushioning or wet conditions.
- How do they compare with other barefoot shoes?
- They offer the same zero-drop, wide-toe design at a lower cost than many barefoot brands, but with a thinner sole and less refined heel fit.
