The Hobibear Yew is a waterproof minimalist shoe with a wide toe box and a thin, flexible sole that lets the foot move and feel the ground. It suits walkers, hikers and everyday wearers who want weather protection without a stiff, cushioned build. Against cushioned trail shoes it gives up shock absorption and arch support, and against other barefoot shoes its waterproof upper is the main draw. Owners rate it well overall, with fit and sizing the usual sticking point.
