Good transition to barefoot/minimalist shoes, minor improvements could be made
4 stars because they are great but could be better.These shoes seem of good quality and well thought of.No color of finish surprises; I bouight green. The design is good enough to fool most to think they are $150.No shoe laces to get loose during hikes. Rather all the shoe is somewhat elastic and on top of that, there is the elastic tie band.The sock design opening will make impossible for small pebles and dirt to get in the shoe, while also making them easy and quick to put on or off.They are very lightThe sole is thick, around 19mm on the heel and around 14-15mm near the ball of the foot. This was a bit of a dissapointment because I was used to hike with a thinner sole and was used to feeling the ground and adjusting my gate and pace accordingly. I placed the shoe in a small shelf and measured the distance from the heel to the top shelf and from the ball of foot area to the top shelf and confirmed this shoe has around 4-5mm drop.I wish there was more rubber al around the tip of the shoe but at least what it has comes from the same part as the sole and that will prevent the rubber tip from comming appart as is common in hiking shoes. Anyway, the fabric near the base of the shoe is thicker and tougher than a regular running shoe even though in the product pictures it looks the same. Also the sole comes up the back of the shoe and there are harder shells around the arch/mid portion fo the foot)The toe box is narrow, fortunatley this shoe runs big and my toes fit in the widest part of the shoe (I wear men size 7). Fortunately whatever width is missing in the toe box is not severely constraining my toes by the elastic fabric (instead of rigid or heavy build in boots). At first it was kind of tight over the pinky metatarsal but it loosened up in a couple of hours.All in all, the toe box feels good enough to wiggle all fingers without any or much restriction. No discomfort at all.Ventilation is not as great as a running shoe but still better than my previous trail running shoes.There is no arch support so I am getting used to this and building strenght before a challenging one-day hike coming soon. I am barefoot most of the time since covid but for some reason not having arch support while wearing shoes, feels different. I did plenty of running in FiveFingers years ago though, so there is some memory.The only thing that bothers me about this shoe is the sole on the inside on the heel area which I tried to capture in picture, where I can feel a big grid/waffle pattern (only when removing the insole). I am afraid this might become unconfortable when the insole wears out, or this might even wear out the insole quicker.If these shoes are ruined after a couple of months I dont care because they have a good price. I dont want to spend $200 on brand shoes that will also come appart as several amazon and youtube reviews I saw.

I am buying again
I'm a cop and I got these for work (as I wear no shoes or sock shoes exclusively off duty). I have wide feet but these fit fine at my normal size. Pros: 1. These look enough like boots that they can be worn with a uniform depending on the agency. 2. You can water proof them easily. Cons: 1. The reason I have to buy them again is because some of the more cutout pieces on the bottom sole of the shoe have fallen out and they are leaking. I have only had these shoes about 7 months so that is annoying. However, I wear them 60 hours a week in all kinds of places. 2. As someone who does not like shoes. I do not like how much structure is in the back heel. I find it feels clumsy when I need to run in them or do any kind of footwork. The reason I will be buying these again is because they are the best product price to quality I can find that I can still use for work. For every day wear or backpacking I suggest Amazon's sock shoes.

No size that works for me, size inconsistent between L and R
These are really nice shoes, extremely light and comfortable, but they have an annoying size gap wherein they offer a US women's 8.5 and a 9.5, but no 9. The seller advised to order the 9.5, but I ordered both to compare. The 9.5 was far too large and clown-looking on me.Here's where things get weird. My left foot is larger than my right, always has been, to the point that I always try on a left shoe to see if that fits in any style. The size 8.5 left shoe fit well, but the 8.5 on my (smaller) right foot? Too small and rubbing the outside of my big toe. Riddle me that. It should have been roomier. I checked, and both were labeled "40" inside. So both of these are going back.This is a bummer, because these are so light, breathable and seemingly supportive laterally with the side plastic supports than you can cinch as needed. If your foot is taller or less tall, the cinching would be able to make these fit like a a glove, if only the length came in half sizes all the way up. Strangely, they have half sizes for much of their size range, but not all. I can't see that these would work for wide feet, though, since the side plastic is in the way.These are actually nice enough that I might've bought three of the four colors and taken them hiking instead of my heavier and much pricier Merrells, but the size issue is the showstopper here. They're stylish enough to wear with my Lululemon or Athleta leggings, and the letters on the heel aren't that obstrusive. (Sometimes China-made brands put absolute gibberish on their athletic shoes, which cheapens them greatly.) Too bad, have to return both. Maybe I can find a similar style by another maker that fits.

Comfortable
These shoes are so light weight and comfortable. I use them for work as well as light trail hiking. I couldn't be happier with these shoes.

For the price, a great hiking shoe
These have a great fit and are lightweight. I really like the way these look and feel. My only beef, the laces are not a traditional draw-sting, but rather, a drawstring lace with a bob that tightens the shoe. This can make them a little loose while hiking. Wearing a slightly thicker sock fixed this problem for me.
