This is my favorite pair of shoes -- my go-to pair whenever I will be on my feet for hours. Although I have a narrow heel, I need extra space for my arthritic toes and bunions. These are the pair! No pain. I forget I'm wearing shoes. They're light-weight, and easy to carry for walking around after a long bike ride,whether wearing dressy pants or casual shorts. I bought the black/gray ones. I highly recommend.
This is my first Xero shoe and my first minimalist zero drop shoes, so it took some getting used to at first. I thought maybe minimalist soles were not right for me, but I eased into wearing them on city walks, and now I like them very much. There is very little cushion (as expected). The wide toe box feels really nice on my toes. I bought in a bright pink color that's gorgeous.
I'd really like these shoes but they are not true to size. width is good but they are too short in length. I'm concerned about my toenails if I try to run in them.
