Product reviews
- Rated 3 out of 5 starsHopefully improvements can be made
I would normally never leave a review, but I want this product to improve so I can continue to buy your shoes for the rest of my life. They just aren’t durable and after 1-2 months of use they already are showing the wear and tear of much longer use. I love the look of the shoes and mission of the company, so hopefully these can be made more durable somehow.
SJStuart J.Verified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 5 out of 5 starsgood shoe, but be aware of key details
I like the shoe, but some key points if you have particular feet. The description says it's for "low volume" feet. This is true. I have large volume feet. I really had to play with lacing for it to fit my foot comfortably. The walls are also very thin with no padding. So if you aren't perfect with your lace pressure, you'll have a strong chance of cutting off circulation. These aren't negatives, but design choices you need to be aware of. I retie my shoes 2 or 3 times each day for the perfect fit.
They are also large. I sized a 1/2 size down and still have comfortable space for my toes. If I did my regular size they'd be clown shoes for sure.
Sole durability. They aren't showing regular wear, but the outer layer of the sole rubber is pilling. It's kind of weird, but it's on the bottom of my shoe, so I'm not super concerned. I also wear these as office shoes, so durability isn't a high priority for me.
This is after 2 months of semi regular use of the black and sand colors. Both have the same fit quirks and sole wear.
EREthan R.Verified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 4 out of 5 starsnot bad 🤷♀️
Solid for the price. Good fit, the materials feel soft, and they look pretty "normal" compared to most barefoot shoes on the market. Two quibbles: the sole material looks cheap compared to a regular shoe (e.g. Adidas samba), and these have go to be the worst shoelaces I've ever encountered. They refuse to hold a knot.

These are my first barefoot style shoe, so they take a bit of getting used to. Especially the feeling on being on the ground and the spaciousness towards the toe area. After a month, I can feel already the improvement to my foot posture and strength.

I've exclusively worn barefoot shoes ((most vivobarefoot and some offbrands) for the last 8 years. Just bought these (plus another model of Origos) a few weeks ago and man, these are so comfortable. These are the most comfy barefoot shoes I've ever worn. It's like I'm wearing leather gloves on my feet. They're warm too. If you continue to make new models, I will def get some. Maybe some boots like you have but lower. Some of us have thick legs and tall boots don't work for us, haha.
MBMars B.Verified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 3 out of 5 starsGood, could be better
Very comfortable and good looking but build quality needs work. I put in less than 5000 steps a day but after just three days of wear the place where the sole and upper are glued together was separating in several places on both shoes. They're still functional but obviously aren't going to last as long as they should. This seems like something more R&D could fix so I'm looking forward to the next gen.

VCVictor C.Verified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 4 out of 5 starsAwesome Shoe; Needs Just Slight Improvement
I love the way this shoe fits. It’s very much true to size and comfortable and goes with so many outfits. The only suggest I have for improvement is that the rubber used for the sole tends to wear through very quickly. If future models could have something tougher, it would be a five-star shoe in my book.
SPSebastian P.Verified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 5 out of 5 starsPerfect
Needed a casual barefoot shoe. Found these to be the best looking of my options. I was worried they would not be wide enough, but the fit feels fine even with toe spacers on.
