L-RUNBarefoot Water Shoes Women Mens Aqua Sock Athletic Hiking Water Sports Shoes for Swim Beach Pool Sand Diving Walking

I’ve had Vibram 5 finger shoes and they were a Royal pain to put on so I never wore them and then donated the $120 Vibes to a transient. But intermittent foot/arch/heel/hip pain (foot bone connected to the ..ankle bone.. ankle bone connected to the ..leg bone.. leg bone connected to the.. hip bone…) prompted me to revisit why the heck am I hurting being so fit, good diet etc. After research I finally understand that feet have muscles and using shoes w arch support, albeit initially comfortable, do not “exercise” those foot muscles and they will continue to atrophy, get lazy and cause pain from stem to stern. I didn’t wanna shell out a ridiculous amount for vibrams, tadeevo, xero etc so I read the reviews on these, looked at buyer pics and decided to give em a shot. Well let me tell you they are a solid, very wide toe box , minimalist shoe that have zero drop and no arch support, which is good if you want to “cure” your foot pain (google stack block, and northwest foot for videos on what you need to do). And you can put ‘em on in 5 seconds with the speed laces instead of 5 minutes like vibrams. I have a wide foot and they fit great. I wear a women’s 9 which is what I ordered and will be exchanging for a 10 simply bc my toes touch the end of the shoe. Unfortunately there are no 1/2 sizes so we’ll see if the 10 works. The final selling point before I pulled the trigger and made Bezos a other $30 bucks was that I can wear my “Correct Toes” with these which of course I didn’t know for sure when I bought them but after I got em, put the CT’s on, there’s was plenty of lateral width for my toes to spread out and not be squished. As previously stated, I’ll just exchange for the size 10 because I need a slightly longer shoe. The price is definitely right and I would buy them again and again. Oh and a side note.. when I got these, I walked 2 miles on a dirt trail with CT’s in place and zero foot pain where as before I couldn’t go to the grocery store in my daily “high arch support” flip flops without suffering within 15 minutes. And just so you know.. no, I’m not a paid reviewer nor did I receive anything free for this review.9-17-2021 UPDATE: got the size 10 yesterday and they’re perfect. Definitely recommend!1-7-2022 UPDATE: I have worn these pretty much on a daily basis at the gym, not outside, since purchase. Ie-they’ve gotten punished! They have held up beautifully. Not even a hint of tread separation or material tears.se photos. Get yourself a pair!7-13-2022 UPDATE: In short..one of the most durable shoe of any kind I’ve owned. I’m still trying to make these things fail but they keep on keeping on. Not even a hit of cracking, the sole peeling away… nothing! Buy them.. like stop reading this now and go buy them!8-5-2025 UPDATE it’s crazy but these shoes are STILL intact. The sole is not separating, there are no rips in fabric .. the only thing is the insole thin covering is slightly unglued and you just have to “unroll” it back to flat when you put em in but hey after 4 years .. that’s a win!

I've only had them for about a week now, so it's too early for me to speak of longevity. If remember, I'll come back in and update my review after a few months.Initial reaction, they're fantastic. They're super flexible, light weight and comfortable. They feel pretty much like a regular water shoe, but the insole makes them much more comfortable. They feel like better quality than just the cheap water shoes you get at Walmart, which I've had, and tho they serve the same purpose, those fall apart very quickly. I'm hoping these will last at least a year of daily wear.If they hold up, I'm hoping to hike in them, at least on an established trail. I've been trying to toughen up my feet, walking around mostly barefoot, but on our property, we have many challenges to actual barefoot walking, like a gravel driveway and a chestnut tree with very spiky chestnut hulls that sting when they get in the skin. So far, these are perfect for walking around the yard, and even walking up to the mailbox, which is about a quarter of a mile walk on dirt and gravel.Traction is great, even on wet surfaces. Perfectly silent on hard floors, I feel like a Ninja! I will say, beware the holes in the soles that allow for water drainage. They are water shoes after all. But if you wear them in a puddle, your feet/socks (I'm a sock wearer) are gonna get wet.They look fine. I can't say they're any kind of fashion statement, but they don't look bad. Since I'm not a fashionista, they're perfect for me.

These r black flat water shoes. I like the shoe because it has nice material. Its confortabĺe, slip resistant, stretches, quality material. I was amaze when I walked on rocks I could not feel rocks, great soles. Attractive, going to get another with color

These shoes are so easy to take on and off. Have special needs son and these help so much, especially compared to the regular pool shoes that are tight and hard to get into.My 75 yo friend borrowed them and took them to the hot and windy beach and loved them, as well. So far, so good. They seem to be hearty enough to last a few seasons, while still being lightweight. I’d prefer 4.5 cause nothing is perfect, but they look just like the pic and are comfortable and so far, durable

Perfect. This is my 2nd pair of L-Run shoes. They are absolutely perfect. I will be buying more of them.These are the most comfortable and well-fitting barefoot shoes ever. They are very slip resistant and have excellent arch support without being tight or binding. The heel of the shoe holds my bony heel perfectly and the toe box is the perfect size.They come in lots of colors, and while I am not a huge fan of the "festive" and peculiar look of barefoot shoes, I do believe I may be getting into the spirit of things.These are the best priced and most perfect barefoot shoes I have tried. No other brands I have tried even come close.Whether I am lifting weights indoors or hiking through the canyon, these just work.
