Lazuli Pro Barefoot Shoes, Wide Toe Box, Trail Running

These shoes are amazing. They are comfortable. They are light and they fit the bottom of your feet like you’re not even wearing them. It almost feels like you’re barefoot are not orthopedic cause I have some foot issues, but they are wide and they fit the bottom of your foot comfortably and even make your toes feel better. So far I have no complaints with hike, barefoot.

I was skeptical at first because I rely on thick exercise shoes. These are the most comfortable shoes I own in my entire closet! They don’t make my back ache and at 75, they have a wide toe box to accommodate my achy feet. I plan to buy more. I wish they came in more colors! I went up a half size and they fit perfectly. I don’t recommend them for high impact such as jumping.

Very easy for me to walk without balance issues which I have. My feet feel like they are in sync with nature and I can walk longer distances without experiencing foot discomfort. Shoes fit like gloves and these were comfortable from the first step. I plan on buying more mostly for specific purposes. Still looking for ones that are appropriate for work.

I wear an 8 1/2 and their 8 1/2 fits true to size. The shoes are cute. The sole doesn’t profess to be cushy and it lives up to that! The wide toe area gives my toes plenty of wiggle room—not that I wiggle my toes much when walking though. I think they are comfortable for short walks but to do any long distance walking (like around Disney) I don’t think my feet will be pain free by the end of the day. I will most likely resort to a more cushioned tennis shoe with arch support for that. Most of my walking is a short jaunt around the mall or grocery store and I think these will be good for that. And definitely this is not a great shoe for pebbly surfaces. The shoes may say Hike on them but these will not be MY hiking shoes! The tops are breathable like they say so I am hoping to use these as my more day-to-day shoes in Florida instead of sandals, which will be nice to sometimes coverup my not so cute feet on days I care about what they look like. All in all I am glad I bought them. And they are so lightweight that I can pack them in a carryon bag that won’t weigh my shoulder down. I took off one star because they will not be my Disney comfort shoe choice which was the initial reason why I purchased them in the first place.

Very comfortable shoes, easy to get on. Feet did not hurt after wearing them for 5 hours, which is unusual got me. Do not recommend wearing them in the rain, feet got wet, however, dried quickly. Unfortunately, they will have to be my fair weather shoes, tricky in the Pacific Northwest.

So glad I purchased these shoes as of the 3 Daysof wearing them has made a difference. My feet enjoy the extra wide toe space sand overall pain relief of my knee pain I have experienced with in my other shoes that I was wearing.they are lightweight and I like the quality of them. I recommend them highly as I am a senior that has experienced stability issues and I feel safer with theses shoes on.

<update; original comments were from the day received:> After several weeks of wear, I find the shoes to be very comfortable. But they are more akin to slippers than shoes. Wearing them outside requires a sharp eye, watching out for and avoiding pebbles and other debris. Stepping on something small can cause pain and bruising due to the thin soles and heels.> From the moment I put these on, I knew they would live up to the manufacturer assertions. My concern is durability. Both soles and tops are thin (this is a strong point of the shoe at this point!). How long they last is TBD. My feet feel better after just a few days wearing them. Will likely buy a second pair!

It was a little surprising to see the package the shoes were in. And when I opened the package, there was a strong odor coming from the shoes. They were easy to put on and felt comfortable when walking. walking felt a little awkward, but I'm sure I would have gotten used to it - but both shoes rubbed my ankles almost immediately. I tried loosening the laces, but that didn't help. So the shoes had to go back.

The shoe itself is quite good.
