I am so happy with these boots

I am so happy with these boots. They are warm, comfortable, light and are so cute. They fit true to size. The order came quickly. It hasn’t snowed yet, but I’m sure they’ll keep my feet dry. Good quality!

Charged at premium prices for subpar…

Charged at premium prices for subpar quality. Barebarics is a charming brand for us barefoot shoe enjoyers because finally there is a brand that produces cool looking casual shoes. Unfortunately though after wearing my first pair of Barebarics for only 1month the "leather" started to peel up and the shoe started to look really cheap. Wile other brands like Xero and Vivo maintain their quality for a similar price point. What I need from Barebarics is either a lowering of price or an increase of quality. Otherwise the fit was good and the shoes are quite comfortable.

The inside pocket of the shoe tears very quickly which I find unacceptable for the price.
Otherwise, the shoe is very comfortable and also looks good.

The shoes are very comfortable

The shoes are very, very comfortable, once you’ve broken them in. For the first two days, they pinched a bit at the back. Otherwise, the shoes are amazing. I’m very satisfied and would buy them again without hesitation. The only issue is that on my way to work, I walk over a wooden bridge, and when it’s wet, it can be a little slippery. But other than that, they’re fantastic.

Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope your shoes continue to serve you well.

these shoes fit well, customer service is great

their customer service is great. I had to return one pair because I ordered multiple colors, the return process was fast and easy.
I recommend these shoes, they are worth the money. These shoes fit well, very comfortable and feel good, they run small I think and they are a little flat in the toe area so you may want to order half a size bigger

Good material. The shoes look very comfortable. Sometimes I have hip problems after wearing the shoes all day, but my feet feel good.

I really liked the show design and comfort, but I’ve only had it for months and it’s already starting to fall apart. I was expecting more durability for the price.

Look great but not a great customer…

Look great but not a great customer experience. After verifying measurements and other shoes, I got a size 11. After receiving them, they are way too small and I cannot wear.

After paying $15 for shipping, the only way to return them would be to pay for shipping back..... then order a another pair, pay taxes and more shipping.

So i'd be spending $180 on one pair of shoes. It's not worth it, and as someone who wears and recommends minimalist shoe brands all the time, I will probably be at the bottom of my list for this very reason.

I love the style but they are bit uncomfortable

I love the style of the Belenka Barefoot Sneaker, but they are so uncomfortable at the heal. They press into the heel and rub against the skin, which is hurtful after wearing them for more than a hour.

Dear Isa,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're really sorry to hear that you’re experiencing discomfort with the heel area. It can indeed depend on the shape and fit of your foot, as each person’s feet can respond differently to the same shoe. We highly recommend addressing this issue within the return window if the discomfort persists, as you may be able to return the shoes. Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

Highly recommend!

These have quickly become my everyday shoe! I had so much trouble finding a cool looking shoe with a wide toe box until I discovered Barebarics. Not only are they stylish, but comfortable & of good quality too!

Great for the toes!

I was a little nervous about ordering to the United States and any potential need for returns, but, the size guide was a perfect reference. I am a physiotherapist and have been switching all my shoes to wide toe box to prevent bunions and falls as I get older. These are some of the few cute and trendier shoes that are wide toe box. I most definitely will be getting more.

Comfortable and cute!

Shoes arrived rather quickly for international shipping! They’re quite comfortable for long periods of walking and surprisingly warm in cold weather! I also love the stylish direction wide and barefoot shoes are going in! These give me major nostalgia with the high top look!
