These boots are beauts! Much more polished-looking than other barefoot boots. I am usually a size 40, but according to the measurements, I needed a 41. I'm glad I got that little extra space. They fit me perfectly.
The soles are flexible and the leather is soft. They fit my medium-wide, high volume foot perfectly. True to size, fit great with normal socks.
These boots are beautiful and much more refined-looking than the El Naturalista Nomada. I really like that they don’t have the same utilitarian or rugged appearance, so they’re much easier to dress up.
For fit reference, I’m normally a size 40 in Koel Ilas, and I really like the amount of cushioning and underfoot comfort they provide. The Faye feels noticeably lower-volume on my normal-volume feet, so I’m unsure whether I need to size up to a 41. They also feel fairly stiff out of the box, and I’m not sure how much the leather will soften or loosen with wear.
My biggest concern is the outsole. I wish it had more traction, similar to the El Naturalista Nomada, or that a higher-traction sole were available as an option. At over $200, I want a boot that I can comfortably wear through most seasons, including wet or colder weather, rather than something that feels limited by the sole.
Overall, I much prefer the appearance of the Faye. If it had a little more volume, cushioning closer to my Koel Ilas, more flexibility, and a grippier all-season outsole, it would be much closer to the ideal everyday boot for me.
I really love these boots. They are a little loose on me but with socks they fit perfectly.
I love these boots - super comfortable, plenty of room in the toe box. I had to return the first pair to size down. I'm between a 40 and 41, so not a total surprise, but glad I did - the 40 is a perfect fit. So nice to have a pair of truly cute barefoot boots. Appreciate the zipper too, as I have a high volume foot with high arches, and getting boots on can be a challenge!
