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

I’ve had the same pair for about a year and a half now, gone through two Chicago winters, and have worn these nearly every day since getting them. They are by far my favorite shoe and have held up incredibly well. Aside from looking a little dirtier than when new, they are just as comfortable as when I first got them. Whether I’m in the gym lifting, or taking my daily 2+ mile walk, these shoes are outstanding- especially given the price. I didn’t expect these to last as long as they have, and I even bought another pair after a year that I still haven’t yet opened. I have high arches as well and have no pain or problems. They’re also a conversation starter because of the goofy toes - I’ve gotten more compliments and questions about them than anything. I also love how roomy they are for my toes. Maybe not as nice looking as a pair of Chuck Taylor’s, but far more comfortable, and definitely less expensive. I’m normally around a 10 1/2, but chose size 11 which fit perfectly. Very highly recommend these hidden gems.

I’ve been wearing these for a few days now and overall, I’m very happy. The shoes are comfortable, flexible, and give a great ground feel – exactly what I was looking for in a minimalist, barefoot-style design.The materials feel breathable and lightweight, and they held up nicely across different surfaces like pavement, sand, gravel, and natural trails.However, one important note for sizing:My foot is exactly 26 cm long, and I ordered EU size 41 (US Men’s 8). While the fit was okay, I found the toe box a bit too snug, with my big toe lightly touching the top. If you're between sizes or prefer extra toe freedom (as barefoot shoes usually encourage), I recommend going up a size – EU 42 would’ve likely been perfect for me.Bottom line: Awesome shoe for the price – just consider sizing up if you’re close to the next size.

I’ve attached before and after pictures. We went on a 30 mile hike with a total of 3500 ft in elevation gains. Mix between rocky and dirt floor with many stream crossings, which was just me and my 40lb backpack jumping from rock to rock. I was very impressed with these shoes. This was my first experience with barefoot style shoes and I must say it was very enjoyable. I’m normally a 11.5 wide sketcher. If I could get this shoe in 10.5 it would’ve been a perfect fit. However the 11 that I bought worked great. It was so breathable my feet did not even sweat or smell until I got them a little wet on the third day of our trip. Still not bad, I almost want to get another pair for everyday use just because they are so comfortable. They are very flexible as you can see from the attached photos. Being they are slip ons makes it easy to put on which is a huge plus for me and the elastic laces make it a plus because you can tighten to your liking. For the price to quality I’d say you can’t go wrong for these pair of shoes. They were 40dollrs as of May 5, 2025.

These shoes are very comfortable with lots of toe room. I can't wear the full foot glove shoes very well but these shoes are very comfortable to wear around the house.

So I needed a new pair of workout shoes at the office. I've been getting back into Crossfit and I didn't want to be limited to my New Balance running shoes. When these shoes popped up, I thought they were a pair of unmarked Merrells but the $32 price point seemed unusual. I bought them anyways to try them out.Delivery arrived a few days sooner than expected so thats a plus. I opened the box and these shoes were in a shrink-wrapped plastic bag. Then I came to realize these shoes were an off-brand that I have never heard of (oran-gine-er?) The design and color scheme is kinda cool but they seem like a cheap, chinese-made knockoff shoe.I also think the term 'minimalist' means different things to different folks. The sole itself is fairly thick rubber that wraps up and over the toes. Kinda looks like a cross of the old Five Finger minimalist shoe and a Merrell Trail Glove. Not many minimalist shoes I have owned have a removable sole insert though. I normally buy size 12 in athletic shoes for expansion but these still feel slightly small just walking around the office and house in them. The heel cup is padded like a pair of basketball shoes. Not saying it wasn't comfortable on my first 30 minute run with them but also a little false advertising. Parts of the upper are made with what feels like a 1mm neoprene. I thought my feet were going to sweat like a whore in church when working out.All-in-all, not a terrible first outing with them. Ran in some uneven terrain but mostly pavement. Didn't feel much of the road on the bottoms of my feet. Toes felt like they were getting a little squished but I'll take them out for a few more rounds. Hopefully these stretch a little. Even though it was 35 degrees out this morning, I was pleasantly surprised that my socks were not drowning in sweat. Finally, sole tread. Though it looks a little aggressive, I would not trust them on slick mornings. That fidget spinner design on the balls of the feet and heel look cool in the pictures but are not really functional for grip.I'll give these shoes the good 'ol college try. If this specific pair don't work out, I'm contemplating on buying a new pair 1/2 size larger since they are dirt cheap for shoes.

Wear them when I play Pickleball. My feet feel ten times better than they did with my regular Tennis shoes and arent sore the next morning
