I previously bought these from a different website because Amazon didn't have them at the time.

These are meant to protect your sole but are not meant for arch support! They are barefoot shoes meaning you wear them barefoot, but its as close as you can get to really being barefoot while still protecting your feet from heat and small objects such as rocks and sticks.

I wore my first pair for 6 months walking dogs five days a week before I wore a whole through the fabric on my toes, and had to repair the Velcro. I now know how to better maintain my next pair to hopefully last longer!

These hold up well! A must for someone like me who needs ground contact for balance.

Easy to wash and dry!
