HOBIBEARUnisex Wide Barefoot Shoes for Mens Womens Minimalist Zero Drop Shoes Sneakers

I have now worn them for 3 months. They are my go to shoe. Above HOKA, New Balance, etc. My feet do not get as tired, they are getting stronger, and I love the way they look. I wish they had more designs or colors. I hope they don't raise their prices also. Yes you will feel rocks if you walk on them however they will not hurt and you can continue to walk on rocks. You really should give them a try. I find I am wearing them around the house also. They PREVENT slipping or stumbling as they adhear to the surface. I love that over any squishy bouncy feeling like I may fall. I found the soft comfort of the high ebd sport shoes did more damage then good.After reading many negative and positive reviews along with comparing to a completely different Zero Drop Shoe I decided on trying this one. Like others said, it's so cheap I'm not loosing anything by trying it. I think if this had cost like $150 - $200 for the shoes I wouldn't have been so skeptical. I was completely taken back after putting them on and walking around the room. Thinking this won't last long, let me go on a long walk and see when the pain kicks in. I walked my Dog about 1 1/2 hours. No Pain & feet felt great afterwards. I wore them out shopping the next day and kept them on around the house they were so comfortable. The next week I experimented doing differeent walks, standing in KItchen cooking, just daily routine type of stuff. I just couldn't believe it. The cost is minimal. The look you either hate it or you love it. I love the wide toe look and reminds me a little of Clown Shoes.I have several foot issues in which my feet hurt after a few hours on them. I even tried a pair of brand name "Orthofeet" which were soooo comfy and squishy which made me feel like I was loosing my balance swaying back and forth. I also have one leg 1 inch shorter after a Hip Operation. I purchased many brands trying to get something comfortable while at the same time Stable. New Balance, Sketchers, Saucomy, OnCloud, Ryka and Reebok. They all felt comfy but not stable on my feet.The HobiBare did it all. Very minimal inserts but really really good ones. You feel oh so comfortable when walking in them while at same time feel like your hugging the road or grounded. No, you don't feel anything when walking on rocks except the rocks maybe wobbly. You can feel your walking on rocks though it doesn't hurt or uncomfortable. The Bottoms of the Shoe have a superior grip material walking on just about any material. There were a few times it felt my foot was stuck on the floor a bit and then released. I read someone went slipping and slidding in a commercial kitchen. I can only imgaine that to be true if Oil were on the floor. That would cause slipping. Even my shorter leg doesn't bother me as much in these shoes as my back doesn't hurt as bad when walking either. I have a truly horrible back and have had 3 operation and many epidurals so when I say my back does not hurt when I am walking, I truly mean it. Now I don't know if that will last but for now I will take it.I am getting another pair in another color. If they give out or glue doesn't hold up long they are so inexpensive you just get another. I certainly recommend this shoes.

I have been wearing Whitins for the past 6 months and love them. Wanted something a little bit fancier for wearing around at the office. They look great. The padding in heel is a nice feature, and the leather is extremely soft. I really wish they had a size guide, since the only problem is they are a little on the large side, and I'm afraid if I go down a size, they'll be too small.

I've been wearing these for almost two months now, I wear them for work about three times a week where I will walk 10,000 - 20,000 steps a day. I've worn wide toe box shoes by Keen, two pairs of Xero Prios, and Xero Glenns, and these have the best fit out of all of them while costing roughly half the price.Fit The toe box is wide enough for a full toe splay, but not too wide as to get in the way and feel like it's not still an extension of the foot. Equally as important, the midfoot and heel fit nice and snug and follow the shape of a normal foot. The Xero Glenns for example have far too much width in the midfoot and heel and my feet move around uncomfortably in the shoe.Sizing The size feels like it runs slightly less than half a size too big, but I wear them with only one pair of socks with my size 13 and fairly average proportioned feet, and feel comfortable. An extra pair of socks may be better for some.Finish The finish is also a plus as it holds a proper formal shine, unlike the Xero Glenns which are a dull matte. Bear in mind these are zero drop barefoot shoes so they can be uncomfortable standing on hard urban surfaces for long periods of time. I've been standing/walking all day for years, and wearing barefoot shoes all day for a little over a year, so my feet are pretty tough, but I'll still rotate to normal sole shoes throughout the week. If Hobibear made wide toe box shoes with this fit but a thicker sole I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Durability It is still early to tell, but so far no visible wear has been found on these shoes, and I've had a pair of Xero Prios start to tear on the seam after only about 2-3 months so they're already beating the competition that I've tried. Conclusion Excellent fit and finish shoe if you enjoy the feeling of walking barefoot with your toes set free while still looking stylish enough for any casual or formal setting.

I've been looking at barefoot shoes for a while now, and finally pulled the trigger on these as I've seen good reviews for them and they are more affordable than other brands.I'll start by saying I wear a women's 11 (and looking at barefoot shoe websites also an extra wide) so most shoes look like clown shoes on me. These are no exception but no worse than other shoes. Actually, they're kind of cute!And comfort? I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the most comfortable shoe I've ever put on my foot. No break in time, excellent comfort, breathable (which was a real surprise considering they're water resistant!), and my foot doesn't run anywhere in this shoe! There is also a very slight cush to the heel that feels great.I wore than 9+ hours at work the second day I got them. I run a car wash, so comfort on concrete and anti-slip is vital. These things had more grip on the wet, soapy floors than my Caterpillar slip resistant work boots! And my feet stayed dry and comfy all day!My second job is in a pizza place, so the requirements of water resistant and slip proof are necessary for both, and they were phenomenal on the greasy tile floors as well.This was a perfect introductory shoe to the barefoot world and I highly recommend trying these! No pain, no discomfort, no soreness. I'm going to get another pair in a different style to make my every day shoe! I just hope these last me a while!

I wanted a wide toe box, but these are clown shoes -- no way.

I like so-called barefoot shoes, but they tend to be expensive. So I was a bit sceptical of these shoes at this price, but tried them anyway. This was one of those happy surprises; they were comfortable, well made, and look decent. I’ve bought a canvas pair as well and I’m as pleased. Now I’m buying them for others in my family. This is an easy recommendation; buy them, you won’t be disappointed

Finally, shoes that take into account that people have toes! So comfortable and the colours are great (although an Ox Blood red would be good). Bought one pair and just ordered and received another pair. I thought they might make my feet look larger but quite the contrary, they are flattering, comfortable and great quality.

I have had the shoes for approximately three weeks. The shoe box is nice and roomy. I got the black waterproof ones and so far, they did well in a rainstorm. Comfortable but I haven’t walked long distances in them yet. I plan to take them on a long trip to Europe where I am walking a lot.

Comfortable

I usually wear size 7.5, and order 2 sizes, but neither 7 or 8 fit me!! returned both sizes.
