Low cost "minimalist" shoe. Insole may be too thick for those desiring a barefoot feel.
I have not worn these shoes long however I can say they are comfortable.The insole is thicker than expected which some may find attractive. I was going for a more barefoot feel, however it is not like walking on a block, just noticeable. The fabric upper is indeed snug and fits closely to the foot. I don't understand the purpose of the strap but its placement is not uncomfortable for my foot. The toe guard makes the front of the shoe feel a little stiffer but again, not uncomfortable. This will probably loosen with time.Due to the upper being made entirely of fabric, folding and packing the shoe is incredibly easy. I can slide these into the seat pocket of my car and they will not be seen. The fabric is thin so I don't recommend wearing them in cold weather without socks. I would also not recommend wearing them in extremely cold weather, even with socks.From and aesthetic standpoint I would have preferred the mouth opening to have a more subdued colour. Perhaps this can be an option in the future.UPDATE: June 24, 2017, Death of the shoesI have worn these shoes almost daily since my last review and this has probably contributed to their demise. I would agree that the description of the item as an "indoor to outdoor" shoe for running errands is correct. While the shoes held up perfectly well for light walking and daily use they have not lasted very long. The right shoe was the first to go when insole separated completely. Oddly enough I found the shoe to be more comfortable without the insole. Unfortunately, this led to an awkward gait as I could tell the difference while walking in the two shoes. You wouldn't think it would be that noticeable but it can be once you become acquainted with a particular feel. I continued to use the shoes with the separated insole and it wasn't terribly uncomfortable. My hope was that the left insole would separate and I would continue to use the shoes that way since the upper fabric was still intact.The death blow was dealt during a hike. At some point during the hike the toe of the left shoe separated from the sole at the seam. The right toe began separating shortly thereafter. This could have been due to the force placed on the front of the shoe (my foot slipped forward on a downhill hike) or the force combined with daily use. While I briefly entertained gluing the toes back together I figured it wasn't worth the hassle given the cost of the shoes.On another note I would also not recommend these shoes for situations that require your foot or ankle to change orientation quickly. I found that the shoes tend to slip and roll around my foot. This happened whether or not I was wearing socks. Also, the outer sole has virtually no grip and slides readily across smooth or wet surfaces. Carpeted or evenly rough surfaces are fine. Uneven and smooth surfaces can be trickier to walk on.In short, these shoes are great for flat, rough terrain (carpets, sidewalks, flat outdoor trails). However I would not recommend them for rough or aggressive outdoor use. Depending on your usage level you may not get much life out of them. Again, given the price, I have no major complaints. At the very least, you can try them out and see if they work for your lifestyle without feeling like a fool for dropping a good sum of money on shoes you will hardly use and can't pass off to someone else.PS: If someone can tell me how to remove the insole without damaging the shoe I'd love to hear it, thanks.

Effective but do not dry fast
They do the job well enough. It's definitely nice to have removable insoles along with their overall packability.The only issue is that they don't dry fast at all. In fact you would think they're trying to retain moisture with all they've got. I think a water logged roll of Charmin or Bounty would dry faster. Unfortunately for my purpose of using these as camp shoes while backpacking made this fact disappointing. For most users this probably isn't the biggest issue.

Not true to size
Very comfortable but my hubby wears a 13 and these were a tad too small

Bought these two sizes too small and they still fit! Would recommend
The fact that my foot was two sizes too large for these and it still fit pretty well was amazing to me. Obviously they stretch a lot. I would definitely recommend these, they are a good buy. It’s a good slim design as well so it doesn’t feel like you are wearing regular shoes.

Comfortable until they aren’t.
This fit well, and felt great. Just like a barefoot shoes should. The design of the strap that allows them to be slipped inside each other is a plus. My problem is that sometimes the insole slips, and the exposes the nubs that are supposed to keep the insole in place. These are VERY uncomfortable on the toes or heels depending on what direction the insole slips. These are my least favorite barefoot shoes, they are much better options available on Amazon. To satisfy the suggested list of point in the review promo: value for the money is mid. They really don’t give support because barefoot shoes aren’t supposed to. The style is fine, and the color is good.

Barefoot feel with sole protection.
Let me start out by saying that I really don't like shoes. If I can go barefoot, I will. When I do wear shoes, I stick to "minimalist" shoes. Any type of arch support irritates my foot.I wear an 8.5 and ordered the Medium. The medium is 11" from heal to toe and is 4" wide at the it's widest point.I've been wearing these, without socks, all day for the last 5 days. When I first put them on, I thought they might be too big because there was about 1/2" of play at the end. But now, they have actually formed to the bottom of my foot and the play has "shrunk" a little. My feet don't get very sweaty in these, I know other reviewers have had that problem, but I've never really had any issues with sweaty feet.These are FLAT inside. If you are looking for some amazing foot support, these are not for you. If you want the barefoot feel with a little protection on your soles, these are what you're looking for.**UPDATE: 17-Nov-2016**I've been wearing this at work almost daily, swapping between these and a second pair in black that I ordered (I work with kids, so I can dress a little more casual). The original pair have started to develop an odor, apparently my feet DO sweat a little in these. My other shoes don't stink, but these have really started to smell funny. I've hit them with some Odor Eater spray and I'm thinking of trying some thin footie socks with them to absorb the sweat.They have held up very well but are showing wear on the soles. All in all, I'm still very satisfied with them.**UPDATE: 31-Jan-2017**My third pair arrived today. The original blue ones I ordered are wearing out. The stitching in the suede at the toe has unraveled. I really cant complain about this, I have worn them DAILY since they were purchased. For this third pair, I decided to try size small. I normally wear an 8.5 and based on the sizing chart, I should be wearing a medium Fit Kick. There was some play in the heel and toe of the medium so I wanted to check out the small. There is less play at at the heel and toe compared to the mediums, but my big toe is not jammed against the front of the shoe. If I would have ordered the small as my first pair, they would have been fine (for me). So, if you are 8.5 and want a tighter fit go small, if you want some play and toe room, go medium. A size 9 foot wouldn't be able to fit in a small.

Soft and light weight!
These fit great. Basically weightless on the feet and very comfortable.
