    Did not work for me, but a beautiful shoe

    If you have high volume feet (or just high feet), these may not work for you. I know this about my feet so I try to compensate by erring on the side of going up in size. Despite this, my feet did not have enough room and sandwiched between the very stretchy top and the cushiony liner. And no matter how I tied the laces, my heel popped up in the back when I walked and I was left with a very painfully torn up heel by the time I got home.

    However, if you have low or low volume feet (or more average), this is a beautiful and unmissable shoe—the pink was really cute and I hated to sell them off.

    I wanted to love these.

    I really wanted to love these. I waited so long for my size to be in stock in the color I wanted and now I’m just disappointed. I should’ve returned them when I first tried them on because I knew I didn’t like the fit… now it’s too late. I’ve worn the three times and once again couldn’t wait to get home and kick them off.

    I ordered a women’s size 10 (my usual size). I have high volume feet and had read in one of the reviews that these would be good for high volume but they’re tight around the ankles and top of foot. The heel cup feels like it’s trying to push my foot out while the toes feel scrunched like someone put a rubber band around them to keep them in. And the big toe on my right foot feels like it’s got a tiny vice grip clamped down on it. If you have high volume feet and are used to true barefoot shoes I’d say these aren’t for you. The construction seems good and I love the idea of a zero-drop, wide toe box shoe with cushion but my feet are screaming! Hoping they stretch out so I can tolerate them til I can afford something different.

    Very Comfortable Sneakers

    I am skeptical these days when buying products online with so many reviews, but I did it and tried them out. I took them out of the box, put them on, and went on my nightly walk through the neighborhood, hills, and flat streets. After my walk, I didn't want to take off my shoes. I wore them all day the next day, and at the end of the day, they were still as comfortable as they were at the beginning.

    They are worth the price.

    A happy hybrid solution for a supportive running shoe

    I was pleased to find that this shoe provides a wide-toe box and some barefoot shoe qualities while maintaining a classic running shoe silhouette. I plan to purchase another darker pair (the newer black and white color) for walking outside since it's hard to avoid the white getting too dirty over time.

    Amazing

    Great comfort and washability. I have had surgery on my right foot and and ankle, it’s never been the same since. It’s very difficult to find shoes that are comfortable for 12+ hours on your feet of working as Nurses do. I bought 2 pairs white and powder blue. Absolutely love the wider toe box, my toes don’t hurt at end of the day, nor do my hips and knees. You can just throw in washing machine, I wore my baby blue ones in Arizona to Petrified Forest and camping on the North Rim of Grand Canyon where it’s so dry with red dirt. All I did was just throw into washing machine, they were not blue anymore, they were brick colored. Came completely clean, same thing with my white ones. I just air dry them. Think I might try a pair of the other ones, wishing I would get another $100.00 coupon that can be used but for any set of 2. This would be nice. I’m sold on these and have recommended them to many others. Their only hold out was price.

Wearing bulky shoes is like keeping your feet in casts. Sure, they’re temporarily safe, and may even be able to recover from overuse, but this is merely a band-aid, not a long term solution. Your body works and feels best when it’s being used and appropriately challenged.

  • Stronger Feet: Traditional shoes restrict movement and weaken foot muscles over time. Barefoot shoes promote natural movement, strengthening muscles in the feet, ankles, and lower legs for better stability and strength.
  • Happier Toes: A wide toe-box gives your toes freedom to wiggle and flex. This builds up their strength and flexibility, making it easier to move around without hurting your ankles or knees.
  • Balanced Stride: A zero-drop design, meaning your heel and forefoot are on the same level, gives you a natural, graceful stride that takes the strain off your joints and perks up your posture.

"Barefoot shoes" is a general term for shoes that optimize the natural biomechanics of the human foot. To achieve that, our shoes feature excellent flexibility, zero-drop (no heel raise), and a generous toebox to accomodate the foot's natural shape.

Flux shoes have a generous toe-box, thanks to the toe-off shape which creates ample room for the toes throughout the gait cycle.

Yes, these shoes are flat from heel to toe, allowing your feet to land naturally.

The amount of time it takes to transition to barefoot shoes varies for each individual, as everyone's feet are different and may adapt to the new shoes at different rates. However, the following general guidelines can help:

  • Gradual transition: Gradually increasing the amount of time you spend in barefoot shoes can help reduce discomfort and allow your feet to adjust to the new sensation of walking without shoes.
  • Start small: Begin by wearing barefoot shoes for a few hours at a time and gradually increase the duration as your feet get used to them.
  • Listen to your body: Pay attention to any discomfort or pain you experience while wearing barefoot shoes. If you experience discomfort, take a break and switch back to your regular shoes for a few days.
  • Give it time: It can take several weeks or even months for your feet to fully adjust to barefoot shoes, so be patient and persistent.

Keep in mind that everyone's feet are different and the transition time may vary. It's important to listen to your body and adjust accordingly to ensure a comfortable transition to barefoot shoes.
