I've had these over the spring-summer and am absolutely loving them. The grip and feel of the terrain and rocks is exceptional and they feel so much more stable and grounded than "built up" boots. I'm skipping about, and I believe I'm never going to turn a heel wearing these. Unlike some reviewers, I deliberately bought a size SMALL. I will qualify that since it's probably unsuitable choice for everyone. I have size 45 and at 67Kg, have relatively slim feet. I bought 44. Barefoots are wider than many shoes, and I have found some other brands (example the big Vibr.. for example) have just far too much space, where my feet can rattle and slide about inside. (I have needed to return "Other" brands at my proper size because of this). Going a size small was slightly focusing to begin with since my toe was directly on the end, but was a perfect decision. - After a few hours, the soft leather bedded in beautifully, they are now just a perfect fit, no slop, plenty of space, and although my toe grazes the front occasionally, even on big descents (I've done a couple of Munros), - no problems whatever.
