Customers find these yoga socks comfortable and well-made, with a great fit that conforms to the foot and a soft, cushiony feel that makes them feel almost barefoot. The grip and durability receive mixed feedback – while some praise the rubber sole’s grip on slippery surfaces, others find them too slippery, and while some say they last a long time, others report the soles wearing through. The size and warmth aspects also get mixed reviews, with some finding them perfectly sized and suitable for chilly evenings, while others note they’re not suitable for large or wide feet and can make feet sweaty and hot.

Best shows I’ve worn so far in my life
So, I bought my first pair and instantly fell in love with them. I’ve worn barefoot shoes for close to seven years… I think.. honestly, time flies for me. Anyways, I’ve worn them non-stop. I even use them for work, and I work for hours on end on my feet walking, busting my butt all the time, and they’re the best shoes I’ve worn when it comes to working. (Don’t try this unless your feet are strong enough walking barefoot for hours.. WORKING. And you actually know how to walk CORRECTLY barefoot. Definitely not for beginners.) I even took them to Cali for vacation up in the mountains where it was snowing with very slippery and icy floors. Out of everyone in the family, I was the only one who didn’t slip lmfao there was one time I almost did, but it’s like I had enough grip to stay put. Kept my feet warm enough at least, I didn’t really feel cold.. but I was also wearing socks, but they were wet in the end. I legit had a great time with them regardless. I’ve took them also to hike in, and it was great! And even to Disney, you can just imagine those long walks lol Came back to Miami where it’s mad hot, and I wouldn’t dare wear these without socks because since it’s so hot my feet would easily sweat and sweaty feet and this material it has inside feels mad slippery and uncomfortable if you’re sweating. But when I wear socks they’re AMAZING, and I got stable footing again compared to when i was slippering in them sockless which honestly i think i almost injured myself because of the lack of stable footing. I always have people talking about them because they look like socks, and they say they look mad comfortable.. which by the way THEY ARE. I already had two of my home boys try them out cause they were mad curious, they loved them. So i bought them a pair each cause they’re mad cheap and a extra pair for myself lol and now I see my homeboys wear them like crazy as well. I already do see the bottom starting to wear off from the use I put in for my first pair, but I’ll be honest.. I really did put a beating on them like no joke… so In a sense I’m not surprised, but they’re cheap so they’re way worth it. I do have cats and a dog that shed like crazy, so when I first got these shoes they attracted ALL the hairs on the rubber parts, but as it gets used up they stopped sticking as much, and now they don’t seem to stick at all except the top parts but easily can be taken off from the wooven parts. They do tend to smell after a while, but since I wear socks, I also wash them, and I take care of my feet and spray it against things like athletes foot, it’s not a deal breaker for me because i dont allow it to get to bad smelling. I’ve also ran with these, felt good and i felt secure even with gravel, but mainly short runs. I’ve yet to try it for long distance running so I wouldn’t know how they would hold up for something like that. I haven’t even used my Vivobarefoot shoes since I got these. To me.. that’s saying a lot because that’s all I used to wear for years.

Exceptional Shoes
Extraordinary yoga shoes.• high quality and well made.• so comfortable – like being a kid and waking barefoot but with protection on the bottom• excellent winter shoes for barefoot runners•perfect for yoga• wear year round! I wear these even in winter and in the rain.• ZERO DROP SHOES – read up on barefoot walking and running. Especially if you have foot or ankle problems/injuries, barefoot walking can heal them. We use different muscle groups when we run barefoot vs in tennis shoes. With conventional shoes we heel strike with each stride, barefoot running we’re on the balls of our feet the way nature intended and we’ve evolved for millions of years. Research “barefoot running.” You must ease into it and the best way to start is by walking in these yoga shoes then slowly begin adding distance running in them. If you blister you’re transitioning too fast. Healthiest thing you’ll ever do for your feet.• FELT TOUCH – You can still get a bit of natural feel through these like, while protected, you can feel if you’re walking on gravel. Our feet are sensory feedback machines. We’re meant to walk barefoot because our feet are designed to give our bodies information about our environment. What are ground conditions? dry? slippery? gravel? It instinctively tells you’re body how fast or slow you should be walking and prevents injuries.•Grounding and getting those healthy negative electrons from the earth only happens when we’re barefoot with no rubber blocking our contact with the ground – unfortunately these shoes block that but they’re easy to take off if you want to earth for a bit.•Washable: You can throw them in the washer and they hold up. Tip: if you have stinky feet put some Oxy powder with hot water in each bootie, shake and let sit for an hour or overnight before washing.

But this, because of a review I read, and they were absolutely right. These are fantastic shoe socks. I wear them all the time, especially when I go camping.I used to bring other shoes when I went camping. Now I only bring these.

These fit and look perfect. The sole has a durable rubber that is flexible and meets my canoeing, whitewater kayaking and paddle boarding needs. They do let a bit of sand in when walking in the water along a sandy shoreline, but it is a minimal amount.

I changed into this pair of water shoes after getting mosquito bites through the holes from another pair of water shoes. I was worried how it feels walking on rock surfaces. No issues at all.

Bought the green ones for $40 in March. First time buying any kind of minimalist shoes.On one hand, they are very comfortable. They’re essentially socks with a rubber sole that wraps around the feet a little. I can throw them on as fast as putting on sandals, but they’re warmer, so perfect for spring around here. I’ve used them to go on walks in the neighbourhood, and they worked well.I don’t know how “barefoot-like” minimalist shoes can get, but I’d say the feeling of the ground is about half-way between being barefoot and being in typical running shoes. You’ll be able to walk on small rocks with these that you’d avoid if you were barefoot.The cons is that they breathe very poorly, so they get warm. They work better in colder weather. Due to getting warm, the feet gets clammy. And due to the rubber not breathing well, a smell can develop.They look ok, but I can’t say that they look great. The rubber going around the feet makes them look odd I think.I see them as a temporary solution for me. If I’m not going to be walking barefoot, then I’d rather do it in something with a more conventional look.I may edit my review when I get more usage out of them. I saw that the more popular similar product, the Skinners, are supposed to only last 100 miles, which seems very low to me. If you walk 10 km a week, that’s only 16 weeks of usage.
