Are these good for beginners to barefoot shoes?

Yes. The thin sole and wide toe box make them a low-cost way to try minimal footwear. Build up walking time slowly, since there is little cushioning.

How do they fit compared with regular sneakers?

They run narrow in the heel and wide at the toes, and many buyers say they run small. Order a size up if you are between sizes or have wide feet.

They suit short runs and form work, not long road runs. The minimal sole gives no support for heavy mileage or overpronation.

No. The sole is flat and thin with minimal cushioning, which is the point of a barefoot shoe. People who need arch support should look elsewhere.

Sizing is unisex and inconsistent, so check the size guide and read buyer notes. Many owners recommend going up half a size or a full size.
