Xero ShoesMen's Glenn Leather Barefoot Dress Casual Shoe

I was in search for dress barefoot shoes. I tried several models and I ended up liking the Xero and the Vivobarefoot the most.ALthough both were very comfortable, I ended up keeping only the vivobarefoot because they looked a bit more dressy than the Xero (see the pic comparison). But overall, I would say this is a pretty solid choice too.

The best zero drop open toe box dress shoe out there. I can wear these all day they are so comfortable. I get compliments on them all the time at work or people asking about them.

The shoes are well made and the company is great. After wearing my Altra's for about a year now, however, these are just not as wide as I was hoping. For those new to this type of shoe, you probably wouldn't notice that, so these are a great shoe to purchase. They do look fairly dressy too, so would go well with nice clothes.

I normally have to buy a half or whole size up to avoid my toes being forced together. These shoes feel like they fit better than most that I've worn in my adult life. I have wide, very flat feet. The soles have excellent grip. The larger toe box gives my digits some wiggle room that they don't normally have in Adidas and Nike shoes. I will be buying more pairs as I need to replace other shoes. These are a wonderful stand in for dressier shoes/sneakers that tend to have pointed toes. They aren't super fancy, but a solid option for black shoes to wear to work.

This shoe is heavy and stiff for a "barefoot" shoe. Consequently, these qualities, combined with the wider toe box make the shoe rattle around loose on the foot (like, when you lift and shake your foot, the shoe moves around on it) and, hence, make footstrikes noisy. This is not a nimble shoe - very much the opposite of the Speedforce, for example.Also, the stiff heel counter and high tongue are both ankle biters, causing wounds to bare flesh if wearing these shoes with no-show socks or barefoot. (That said, the tongue is at least cut down a bit at the center (concave) making the damage a bit less severe than it would be with a straight or convex tongue.The look is good. And the quality seems fine. But, the design is a functional failure for me.

These shoes were very comfortable and great for the office. However the soles wore through after 4 months of use (see attached image) with only approx. 10k steps (walking only) each day.

I bought these because I exclusively wear barefoot shoes but had a wedding to go to. I bought these and loved them! I would highly recommend.

I have few barefoot shoes.This one is the best, very comfortable, high quality leather and solid classic design for everyday use.
