HOBIBEAR Barefoot Minimalist Shoes Womens Mens | Zero Drop | Wide Width Fashion Sneaker

I’ve been searching for a comfortable pair of shoes for a while. I have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. I’ve tried many top rated shoes, Hoka, Nike to name a few and none have helped. I also have Brooks but they are just ok. I work in shipping and on my feet 10+ hrs a day. My feet ached constantly until my daughter told me her chiropractor recommended Barefoot shoes. I did some research and ordered a couple different brands but didn’t like them and then I found this brand. From the moment I put them on I knew these were different. Purchased these April 5 and have been wearing 6 days a week 10+ hrs a day and my feet have never felt better. I do wear a PF insert in the left shoe only because that foot always hurt the most. They did not take much adjustment time other than they are lower to the ground compared to most athletic shoes, the bottoms are holding up great, very well made and true to size. I wear a size 9 and bought a size 9. Though they do have a wide toe box for your toes to actually move around like they’re supposed to, so if you have a narrow foot these probably won’t work. For the price I would highly recommend you try these. For the record I have not washed these yet but will update when I do. I will be ordering more in different colors!

I love these shoes! I have worn barefoot style shoes for more than a decade, and have had expensive and not expensive shoes. These literally are some of the most comfortable shoes I own. I am used to barefoot/zero drop shoes. I want to feel the ground. I am barefoot most of the time, as we wear no shoes in our home. I only work out of the home part-time. These shoes are actually more comfortable for me than my more expensive Xero sneakers (which I do like).My feet are not super wide, not slim...they changed size after menopause, I hover between 10 and 10.5 depending on the shoe... The 10 fit me great in this shoe; I wear them with socks. I have the orange (I always wear brightly coloured clothing in oranges, magentas, purples, aquas), and I'm so worried that the company will stop making them that I think I'll order another pair to keep for future. I've had these for a year, I wear them at least once a week, and they have not yet worn out. Pleasantly surprised by that!!

I am a disabled Veteran, with fallen arches, issues in my left ankle, issues in both knees, and sporadic pain in one or both feet. I typically wear boots with a wide toe-box and custom insoles provided to me by the VA. However, for the last several months, I’ve had chronic pain in the blade of my left foot, with sporadic pain in various parts of both feet. This came to a head a few weeks ago, when after a normal day with no incidents, my left ankle stopped supporting me as if I had a moderate to severe sprain.I began wearing a compression sleeve and switched insoles, which was a short term fix. But I began to suspect the boots-and-insoles solution I’d adopted was a bandaid instead of a cure for whatever the underlying issue might be.I purchased these shoes as part of an attempt to rehabilitate my lower appendages, in conjunction with the compression sleeve on my left ankle; no insoles. I will update this review as necessary.DAY 1These shows are comfortable, and my toes have ample room in the wide toe box. I have no issue walking, and minimal pain only in the bottom of my left foot. I have found the shoes to possess ample tread across multiple styles of hardscape terrain, in both wet and dry conditions. I’m looking forward to seeing how they hold up in the coming weeks, but so far, I like them a lot.

Initially when I ordered these it said they ran small which is definitely wrong. I would order a size smaller than you normally get unless you're very wide footed. I usually wear a womens 8 so that's what I got, but there was wayyy too much toe room (see picture of where my toes actually stop vs how much room there is). I wore them for a day to see if it was tolerable but I'm going to return them and already ordered a smallers size. Otherwise, they're great! Super lightweight and very comfortable.

I have wide feet with very high arches. It is extremely hard to find traditional shoes that fit on the upper. With these hobibear shoes I can easily get my feet in and it doesn't cramp the upper part of my feet. The wide toe box actually gives my wide feet room to splay. The barefoot nature of these shoes allow me to have a more natural gait again. I couldn't believe the cost of these shoes, amazing! I didn't have to spend my typical 250 plus for insoles and expensive running shoes that never really fit my foot anyway!!!! I hope this shoe brand continues for a long time!!

I love the aesthetic of these, and they do seem to be well made. However: VERY quickly after starting to wear them, I experienced significant pain in my feet, especially in my heels. When I switched back to my non-barefoot sneakers, the pain abated significantly. Then, in an effort to retain these shoes for their aesthetics, I added supportive insoles to them, but even with the insoles, the pain returned. I've worn them too much to return them. Fortunately, I have a friend with the same shoe size who wants to try them out. I'm bummed. Really hoped these would work for me.

Durable! I have had these shoes for 14 months, and I have thrown them in the wash a few times! I haven't had any tearing from the soles. They look about as good as the day they came in the mail. The soles haven't worn out. and they aren't scuffed at all. and the color hasn't faded. They are my go-to, and I wear them multiple times a week - sometimes every day. sizing is true to size, and I find I rarely have sore feet after wearing over 8 hours. They also breathe nice, so I don't have smelly feet either! Because they have lasted so long I just ordered another pair in different color. I have worn them camping and hiking and they were uncomfortable mostly because I could feel every rock I stepped on.
