Feldom

First time buyer of a minimal based shoe, really impressed. They do fit big, I normally wear a size 10, but had to go down to a 43, but the return was simple and speedy.

Time will tell how they hold up, but after a month, they seem to be holding up great.

I was and have always been a skeptic of health trends like barefoot shoes, but as someone who has flat feet and rarely gets on with regular shoes i gave these a go!

Wow, these were immediately the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I've been walking in them for a week on muddy dog walks and around town and have 0 pain. The grip is good, they're flexible and they fit my rather wide feet without issue.

Only negative I'd say as being much more minimal, you might your feet are more vulnerable to mud and puddles, but there are solutions to that.

Thank you

A good looking shoe that should wear well. These were comfortable out of the box and fitted well. They seem a little narrower than my Connect 3s but my feet had plenty of room. The lacing is good, and actually stays knotted.

I was hoping that the slightly more aggressive lugged sole on these would work well in mucky conditions. They certainly offered more grip in wet mud than the Connect 3s but not enough to offer confidence on steeper terrain. Where they do shine is on wet grass. However, the deeper lugs also result in a bit less feel of the ground. On hardpack and solid (not loose) dry rock I do prefer the feedback I get in the Connect 3s.

On balance, these are nice shoes that I will happily wear until they wear out. However, I wanted to test this sole before purchasing hiking boots, since a shoe with the most aggressive lugs wasn’t available in my size; based on my actual experience I won’t be bothering with the hikers.

Cuando recibe las zapatillas, quede un poco decepcionado. Pensé que iban a tener el mismo upper que las Conect 3, y resulta que tienen una tela muy fina, como de verano. Mi idea era tener unas zapatillas de montaña para el invierno. Así que las tendré que reservar para cuando haga mejor tiempo. De talla bien, y en cuanto al envío también.
