Oranginer Men's Barefoot Shoes - Big Toe Box - Minimalist Cross Training Shoes for Men

100% would recommend.@Time using these -- Over a year (I've purchased this same shoe in several styles at this point.)@Summary -- I've purchased many of these natural/barefoot style shoes lately. These are some of the best fitting, most comfortable shoes. For the price, the quality is excellent. Well worth it in my opinion.PROS: Great feel, great fit, great build quality for the price.CONS: A shame that they're not available in more styles.NOTE: Careful when purchasing. The same seller has ones that are your traditional lace-up as opposed to the elastic no-tie laces. This recommendation is for the "no-tie laces" version as those are the ones I prefer and WOULD recommend. (I would not recommend the traditional "string laces" version as the "string laces" version does not have the same fit and feel to them in my opinion.

This item came as advertised! I love the feel, style and comfort! It wears well and makes my feet feel great as though am wearing slippers. I highly recommend!

We got the two of us each a pair, both needed half size larger. I fit 10 1/2, got 11 and they are fine. Partner uses 9 1/2, but too tight on the right foot, so we will try 10.Pros: The wider front, flat, not curved, so so comfortable and interesting toe shaped design. Hoping my bunion squished toes spread out.Look carefully at the products photos as you order as there are two types of shoe: one I got has elastic ties with a cinch and Velcro hold-down. I like that. Fit like a gloveThe other type has shoe laces, not as nice styling, boring. The build and materials seem top quality. Good styling. I will only use them at my gym, no uneven surfaces and that matters with this less padded shoe.Cons: There is intentionally less padding. People are saying too much padding is weakening the feet. But less padding may take some getting used to. The heel is lower than with conventional sport shoes. One could always add inserts.I would buy these again.

Ok, for starters, I ran around barefoot a LOT as a child and young adult, so my feet never really conformed to shoes proper. Also my measurements in terms of width and instep height, are more akin to the global averages for an Asian male for whatever reason. I am an America Woman, I bought size 6.5. These are the best fitting shoes I have ever owned in my life, and considerably more affordable to than anything that has been suggested to me to date.I did do a sort of break "in", where I walked around the house with them untied, which shoved my toes into the box a bit. That area was a bit stiff upon arrival, but now is very comfortable when laced up properly - this might have helped, or might just be a mental relief thing. (Might be worth a try if you're experiencing the same thing.)I've now ordered 3 pairs.

This is my 2nd pair, I purchased two pairs of these because I was very happy with my original purchase, however, both pairs are breaking at the exact same place you see on the picture. My other pair I purchased in November of last year, so they did not even last 9 months, the pair you see in the picture I purchased in March(so not even 4 months) and as you can see it is already breaking. I gave 3 stars because despite them being cheaply made, the price is reasonable, the item got me a lot of attention and they are very comfortable. However, they are not durable at all, and they are marketed as training shoes, which I wasn't really doing much of to be honest, I used them a modest amount, nothing crazy, so I am very disappointed. I hope this review helps yall out. Personally, I am going to spend the extra money and buy some vivobare. I already tried Xero shoes, and Xero are not bad but they are super ugly.

I've tried on a handful of styles of this type of shoe for the purpose of lifting weights in a flat, nearly barefoot — and most especially cool — shoe, and these are a cut above all the rest I've tried, which were all promptly returned.These have a very light and flexible rubber outsole with a very elastic and breathable mesh upper. Because of this there are no weird pressure points anywhere, as is the case with every other ill-fitting analog I've ever tried on. These are just fantastic — comfort, fit, breathability, all A+ as far as I'm concerned.I can't vouch for their durability for the purposes of running because I don't run; I simply dislike the feeling of heavy sneakers when lifting. I would just work out in crew socks if I were allowed to do so in a public gym. If I were to guess, these might last a couple months tops in a rigorous running regime. Then again, a pair of Merrells for $75 or so may get you scarcely more use than this.For my money these might be worth a shot for a runner. I do see a bit lacking in the fusion of the toe cap with the mesh upper, which shouldn't be a problem since, as mentioned, there is a good fit here with a ton of flexibility to eliminate the tension points around the outsole's border which wears out shoes. Almost all sneakers and trainers have historically been ill-shaped to levels of idiocy that are incomprehensible to me, especially Nikes, so the emergence of minimalist and zero-drop shoes in recent years is a good thing.Such a style of shoe isn't meant 'last' I suppose but serve a purpose. It's just important that you get the right size. I for example intended to wear these in black with normal black crew-length socks with a bit of thickness, so I went with 12.5 which is my upper size. This is an outstanding fit and feel as compared with the Converse I'd been wearing for lifting — Converse have really gone to **** over time, and yet they remain $60 or so. But ANYWAY, were I to buy another pair this summer to be worn with the invisible nylon socks I'd probably go down a half size to 12 to prevent heel slippage (I have a slightly shorter right foot). The inclusion of half-sizes is another sign of an excellent shoe product. An additional bonus is the fact these are very easy to slip on and off. I find zero negatives here. As a foot-sweater and a general disliker of weight on the feet, and a wide-foot-haver, these shoes were a great find.

I walk a lot and have very delicate skin. That leads to pressure sore regularly. In these shoes, and that is again very subjective, I have no pressure sore. 20K steps and feet are all good. Same with my lower back pain, which I used to have after long walks. I have 2 pairs, using 1 pair for jogging and just love them. The quality is not exceptional but as well not completely lower-end. Sizewise, you definitely need to order 1 size smaller pair. I have 9.5UK and Size 8 fits perfectly.

The shoes are good, good traction as most reviews said, no discomfort upon first 3 hour wear personally. The upper material is soft, really like it, the lace system is super efficient.Insoles a bit too thick for me, I switch it out, still works the same.Heel cup, is a laminated white plastic wrapped under the ankle cushion, and due to frequent wear it starts breaking down and creating loads of debris when wearing. Maybe can do without it in future. Now I have to clean the debris out every week.Overall it's a good pair of shoes.

These are good shoes but they are not flat on the floor. I have to change the angle at my ankle to create a balance and weight my body toward the outward of my foot.I will return them.Get a size smaller also or they will be too big.4 star because they feel really good and look nice. Just not for me.

Used the shoes for a few leg workouts and cardio sessions - mostly stairs and runs. Great shoes, for the price they’re holding up well and are exactly what I pictured.

Size 7 mens was smaller/shorter than expected (toe bumps up against front/inside of shoe)
