THIS IS NOT A RUNNING REVIEW - I am not (yet) a barefoot runner. I wanted a shoe I could wear barefoot - comfortable, stylish, light, and perfect for summer. I have slightly wide feet and initially wanted the Merrell glove type shoes, but couldn't find a wide size in stock anywhere to try on. Rather than order them and find out I don't like them - I found these and tried them on locally. They have a slightly wider toe box (designed to allow your foot to spread on forefoot landings) and this shoe is exactly the light, comfortable fit I was looking for.

I've had them for a little while now, and have worn out as well as around the house - easily for hours on end and "forgetting" that I had shoes on at all. If you want something to wear without socks, light, around town in summer - this is great.

And for all I know it's also a great running shoe, but this is not the review to gauge that.
