I'm new to "barefoot" type shoes, but I'm a very neutral runner and hate clunky shoes, so these were exciting. They fit true to size. My pinky toe in my left foot gets numb, but that comes from my feet being shaped a littler differently and I think once they're broken in a little this will change. Mostly, it feels like I'm not even wearing shoes! They are very comfortable, light-weight, and padded in great places, such as the back of the heel where people typically get blisters. I changed the laces for elastic ones to make them slip-ons and they're perfect. Very happy with them.
