When I received the shoes, I initially thought they were too big (23.5 cm foot length, ordered size 38) and too stiff, but they quickly softened up, and adjusting the lacing keeps them securely on my feet. They are super comfortable (probably the roomiest fitting shoes I have - even with correct toes), even though they are still a bit stiff. The chunky sneaker look is a nice contrast to the “socks with soles” look of many barefoot shoes. I removed one star because the logos are falling off. I first only wore the shoes in the house for a few hours to decide if I wanted to keep them. After that time, and very gentle use, one of the logos on the laces had halfway ripped off (from sitting on it?). I removed the other one for symmetry. Today, after only a few days of wear, a part of the logo on the tongue peeled off (see photo of the shoes with the bits that came off). None of this particularly bothers me, but I am a bit concerned that the shoes won’t age well - which would be a shame at the price. It would also probably have been an issue had I wanted to return them.
