United StatesThey feel super stable on my feet
I was able to make strap adjustments so they fit great. When I added the additional strap I ordered, it made them super stable on my feet considering how light they are. I look forward to using them for modest river crossings, nights around camp and middle of the night bathroom treks.
CanadaExtension of Your Feet
I called for a US 9 size which turned out be just right. These sandals are something else. They are sandals with a hiking / trail running shoes base. Extremely comfortable. I wore them for a few hours the day I received them and simply great experience. I have yet to try them out for a longer duration but I'm sure they should be good. Can't wait to take them back to Mumbai and walk around with them where they will be put through their true test in all that dirt , grime, mud, gravel , pavement, rocks, stone and everything else you can throw at it. This is as Barefoot as it gets so if you don't like Barefoot shoes then this one is not for u. It's super light and looks tough too. I will do an update on this review once they have been worn in Mumbai and other parts of India. Right now I'll try wearing them in Canada before it gets too cold. Overall a lovely experience. In the sandal world these definitely stand out. Cheers.
Very light for the protection provided.
i’ve been looking all around for a light weight sandal that i could use as a camp shoe. after hiking a few thousand miles i have some requirements that new to be met. i wanted them to be secure when i’m walking up/down hill even when wet. i’ve had trouble with my foot slipping with other foot ware including crocks. that’s a bad feeling going down a hill to get water after hiking all day and slipping while being exhausted is not fun. next, i want them to be durable. i can tell the bottom is a harder rubber that will last and not wear out super fast. i will give an update on this. lastly, they needed to be easy to use so i can slap them on inthe middle of the night for a *** break. these get. 7/10 for ease. i say that because you don’t have to put the heal strap on for these to work. just slide you feet in and go like. i only do this for late night ***** breaks. these are great. oh i have a size 11 and they are around 7oz total.
SwitzerlandWorth the money
I owned quite some sandals before. But this is a different level. Just wow. They are amazing. Super thin but fit extremely well. Highly recommended.
Look great!
these look great, check all the boxes, and from the reviews they are. they cannot be worth $95. that is just me though. convince me. please.
