Review: Best minimal running shoe for the money 100% - I absolutely love these minimal running shoes and will gladly buy them for the rest of my life if the company continues to make and sell them. I’ve put over 1000 miles of trail running and hiking on my first pair (shown in pictures). While this pair has developed a small split in the sole which lets a little dirt in whenever I use them, I could honestly fix it with a small patch on the inside and still get many hundreds more miles out of them. I’ve had much more expensive vibram rubber soles that didn’t hold up this well. To be fair I rarely use them on paved surfaces, but theyve done hundreds of miles on the Appalachian Trail hauling a 60lb bag and over a thousand off road in Florida (roots, sticks, rocks, broken shells, pine cones, cactus, snakes, hogs, mud) I’ve have a couple of cactus needles penetrate, but expecting something this thin to stop them would be silly. They are so light with just enough protection to keep you using your feet and legs the way nature intended. The tops are kind of like a stretchy sock that hugs my feet perfectly. There longevity is honestly mind blowing when compared to much more expensive minimal shoes. I will be a customer for life 100% If y’all ever plan to stop making these please let me know so I can buy a dozen pairs to get me through the years I have left in these legs 👍
Review: Love these shoes!! - These are great shoes! I am NOT a trail runner nor do I hike often. However I cannot stand traditional hiking shoes. Look, weight, comfort and cost for a good pair, especially since I may hike once a year. I picked these up because of the price and look specifically for my once a year camping trip where I knew I'd be on at least one hike. I am as close to a true size 11 and ordered 11's. They fit like a glove, in a good way. They have a bit of compression or maybe should say that they wrap feet with nice pressure all around..First walk was on the hike which was about 2-miles over dirt, rock, gravel and pavement sections. The hike was pretty tough, but my feet did not hurt afterwards. They felt great and better than expected. I now wear these most days of the week,.with jean, khakis and shorts and even have had them at the beach. CON: These this can be very slippery on wet surfaces. Others stated this and glad that I took note because it is true. However, I feel that over time this has lessened to an extent. Grip!! Funny to follow up with 'these things grip!' They do and do it very well on dry surfaces. Would I buy again? Yes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exactly is a zero drop running shoe?**
A: A zero drop running shoe has the same amount of material beneath the foot at both the heel and toe of the shoe. There is no angle. They are designed to support a more natural running gait and discourage heel striking.

**Q: I am used to Vibrams, but this year their sizes all run small, so my size 9 foot would be a size 10 shoe. So this is size 8?**
A: I bought size 10, same as my foot size. Some shoes I need to buy 10.5. But for this I kept the same size(10) and fits perfect.

**Q: I wear a 10.5 men but there's no selection**
A: I bought a size 10 due to this comment even though my feet are 10.5. The shoes did not fit me with any space around the toes. I would recommend getting size 11 despite this comment.

**Q: Is the sole hard enough to trail run? I’m looking for a cheap vibram sole alternative.**
A: If you’re talking about over rocks, the sole will probably be too flexible for running. Dirt trails and boulders should be just fine. The sole is just really flexible so you’d have to take terrain into account.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy replacement in-soles. Then they're perfect.
*by D***E on January 13, 2026*

Definitely get padded in-soles. Other than that, they are the most comfortable fitting shoes I've ever owned. They fit my feet in all the right places and feel snug without feeling tight. They slip right on without slipping off while you're walking. I wear mine to work where I am on my feet all day at a grocery store. I wore them without padded in-soles the first night, on my lunch break I had to buy a pair of Dr. Scholl's to be able to finish my shift. Without them, it's almost like walking on the floor barefoot. Once I swapped them out, the shoes were perfect. Would recommend and would buy again. The non-slip sole is great too. If they upgraded the in-soles, I would give them a 5/5 hands down.
