Just got these in grey. They are awesome! The only problem is that they are 100% vegan. Would've preferred some animal product angle, like making them out of bison jerky...

By K. Werner
I've been running completely barefoot for 7 years. I've generally tried to keep most of my running completely barefoot although I do have a pair of FiveFingers for cold or just when I need a break. I run on lots of gravel though and finally have decided that to run fast where I run I need to where shoes more. I started just wearing the FF more, but they were too hot in the summer and I like the open feeling of being barefoot. So, I decided to get a running sandal.Overall, these have been exactly what I was looking for. I spent a couple weeks easing into them as the toe-separator does rub the inside of your toes. However, after a week or so it seemed like no big deal for my lunch runs (5-8 miles). They seem like high quality and that they will probably last a long time. They are a bit heavier feeling than expected though. Also, although I normally wear a 43; the 41/42 size fit perfectly...the 43/44 was way too big for running as you need a snugger fit so you're foot doesn't move around in the shoe (I bought both sizes and returned the 43/44). If I were wearing it to the beach or just walking around the 43/44 probably would have been fine though (the 43/44 fit similarly to other flip-flops I have).Really, the only complaint I have is that if I run through sandy places some times a few grains get stuck in between the toe separator and rub uncomfortably against the inside of my toe for a while. However, it seems like that is part of the deal with a running sandal. If I didn't want that, I'd just wear a more shoe-like running shoe ;) I do like the toe-separator from a stability perspective, but if they could redesign it to be less abrasive against the foot this shoe would be perfect.

By Allenstein49
The Vivobarefoot Achilles sandals are about as close as is possible to actual barefoot, while still having something between my feet and the rocks. Arizona has lots of these, so a minimal shield is good. They look cool, too. Don't expect cushioning, though. Recommended.
