Pros

Shoes are great for squatting, deadlifting, using kettlebells, etc. They're about as close to barefoot as you're going to get. Great minimalist shoe.

Bought these after reading a couple articles on footwear for indoor rowing. Keeps my feet flat and does the trick. If u do not require cushioning of your feet during serious trecks, these kicks are for u.

Snug fit but still enough room for socks. Great fit around the ankle. Tread adds an appropriate amount of cushion (even tho there isnt any) if you want to wear thick socks and be outside in the winter, order your true size.

This newer version is even better than the last. Great support and fit. Great upgrade in all other aspects over the previous version.

Cons

This creates a ton of risk in if your size is off, returning becomes infeasible. I'm returning them and reordering 2s - newer truly isn't always better. No follow-up from seller on this. Unprofessional customer service.

Quality

These shoes are well made and fit perfectly.

Great fit, true to size and very durable.

These became my go to shoes after 2 days.

Too tight and this fabric “caves in” and pushes on your foot.

Price

Really love this shoe, originally bought on amazon but size was a bit big (buy true to size), as this is older version hard to ... Read More

I was looking for a pair of decently priced barefoot shoes to help build up my plantar.

Competitiveness

Nike has since gotten worse, and no long offer barefoot or no rise shoes.

I’ve always had good luck with merrell shoes and these are no different.

Not quite as good as the original nike frees were, but as close as you can get these days.

Sure, they won't win any fashion competition, but at least you won't look like a freak like when you wear the five fingers.
