Joomra Women's Minimalist Trail Running Barefoot Shoes | Wide Toe Box | Zero Drop

Immensely comfortable
I am not a runner, but a fast walker. I am not new to minimalist shoes and have been wearing them for 10-15 years. These are the most comfortable I have found out of the box, or in this case, the shrink-wrap. I get all of the foot motion that I need, plenty of room for my toes, what seems thusfar to be a durable, grippy outersole, and immensely comfortable innersole. These feel true to size, although they are a 6 1/2-7, while I wear a 7 or 7 1/2, depending on the brand. Ii have ordered another pair, I am so happy with the look and feel! I wish there were an all-weather version, so I could finally retire my Saucony AW Hattori that are falling apart.

Super comfy! Definitely buying some more!
I have wide feet and high arches and these shoes are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever put my feet in. I was barefoot for the majority of my childhood and most of my young adult life I wore converse or flats. Any time I try to wear tennis shoes my feet and calves cramp and I can only wear them for a very short time. A family member gave me some hokas not too long ago and while they are comfy, I find that my feet slide off their super thick sole if I wear them on uneven ground. We have a small homestead and I work outside all day every day and I had just started wearing sandals or swim shoes to work outside in because all my other shoes were very uncomfortable.I ordered these because I felt like they were a cross between a swim shoe and tennis shoes, they had a wide toe box for my wide feet, and they looked easy to slip off and on. They have met or exceeded every expectation! I've had no problem with my feet slipping and sliding around in the shoe. The sole is thick enough that walking on rocks doesn't hurt my heels, which has been a problem with my swim shoes and sandals. 2 years ago I stepped on a rock and bruised my heel so bad that it hurt constantly for a solid year. I do NOT want to do that again. I'm on my feet all day every day and the majority of that time is spent on rock so I definitely need a good sole. These shoes are great at offering the protection I need without having a big bulky sole, plus they offer the perfect amount of support my feet need and are still flexible enough to make walking on uneven ground easy.I really can't wait to test these out when we go huckleberry hunting. I always wear my swim shoes when we go because I usually wind up climbing up a steep hillside several times in search of an untouched patch of huckles. The tread on the sole looks incredibly grippy and I'm hoping that is the case.... we will see very soon if they are! I can't wait to put them to the test.These are so comfortable and I really bought them to be my designated work shoes but I'm probably going to buy another pair or two in different colors. I got the blue ones and they are very bright, I love the color but they don't match much of my wardrobe. So I'll probably order some in a more neutral color for going to town.The first day I had them I wore them without socks, which was what I hoped to be able to do, however, since I don't really wear "real" shoes very often, they were starting to rub my heel. I have been wearing some light low cut socks and that solved that problem. Not sure if it was the shoe or if it was my heel, but everything is good now that I am wearing socks.Time will tell on how durable these shoes are, but rest assured I will be putting them through the wringer. They feel very durable, hopefully they will last me a long time. I really like them so far and want some more!

My first minimalist shoes
I bought these to walk our dog (sidewalk and pavement). I wear a size 9.5-10, I have a high instep. Day one, so far, so good. The shoes are soft and comfortable except for the velcro strap. It is not comfortable, I might cut it off.Both shoes are too wide, I can't find narrow barefoot shoes. Ugh.Update, after a couple of months.The grey are not as cute but thicker and better for hiking. I cut the plastic velcro band off the top, I have high arches.

I wear a 9.5 to 10 depending on the type of shoe and manufacturer. These are very light weight and breathable with thin sole and pad...so as close as you can get to barefoot in a shoe. I walk 2-3 miles every morning and these are holding up after a couple of weeks, no signs of wear or tear.

Take a Little While to Get Used To--Then Marvelous!
At first, as a Sketchers Arch Support wearer, they were difficult to get used to. I am 75 and have a pronated right foot and weak arches. I thought I'd made a mistake buying them but have discovered that wearing totally supported shoes have emprisioned my feet and made them weaker. The Joomra shoes have a wide enough toe area to wear silicone toe separators!!!! I am thrilled! My left foot toes are crimped and now I can comfortably wear toes separators without pain or sandals. The foot bed now feels to be gently massaging my foot when I walk. Am taking them to Europe with me, but will not use them for long walks on hard pavement because they do not have enough support for me. I use them now around the house and garden, working out, and shopping....Update August 1, 2024: Have been wearing them in Portugal practically every day. I've added an additional insole underneath the one that came with the Joomras which has made them so much more comfortable. I can now go on long walks without getting tired feet. One thing I've noticed is that my feet are a lot less tense because my toes can spread out now. The hammer toes on my left foot have even started to relax and flatten more.I also like hat I don't have to lace up the shoes and can just slip them on and then don't even have to pull the tightening chord to wear them comfortably. They also do not slip on the shiny, worn cobblestones here.... They stay cool, wear well in beach sand, and are easy to clean. I would definitely buy them again.Please note: I am NOT a paid reviewer...I am continuing to update this review because I think it might help others with problem feet.Update Sept. 30, 2024: Just machine washed my Joomras in hot water on a 2 1/2 hr. cycle. They came out looking and smelling great. I wear them every day b/c they are so comfortable. I especially like that they are easy to put on and tighten without having to tie shoelaces. Unfortunately, one of the pull on loops at the heel broke and I will have to sew it back on as it is hanging there. This is not a game changer....Update: Oct 18, 2024: Washed my Joomras a second time and they still look like they just came out of thethe box. I wear them every day now. They remind me of the padded moccasins I loved wearing 60 years ago!Update Oct. 24, 2024; you probably think I'm crazy to keep updating my review...but I just love these Joomra's so much I want to let everyone know my experience over time. I FORGOT TO NOTE THAT THE JOOMRAS ACTUALLY MAKE MY SIZE 11 N-M FEET LOOK SMALL AND TRENDY. Really, I'm 5'9" tall and 160lbs ...was worried that the size 11 would make my feet look big...like so many shoes I've worn. I have "Greek toes" (Big toe longest sloping to a tiny piinky). So nice and roomy even with socks! My feet really relax in them and I feel so grounded!I have read some of the negative reviews, and would agree that they are not the best for running...but walking on a firm surface is great. The extra insole I added underneath the one that came with them have made them super comfortable. They are certainly not like water shoes....they are much more supportive and not floppy or slippy at all....they also do not leak. They are not cheap material...I've washed them 2x now on long cycles with very hot water and they still are holding up fine.If I were back in the states I would definitely buy another pair because they are on sale now!

Amazing barefoot running shoe but size differs depending on colour!!
I’m adding to my original review below…I’ve worn the dark grey ones for a few months and the size is perfect. I ordered the all black ones to have another pair but the style is a bit different and they are a snugger fit. Still awesome, but I recommend going up a size if you are buying the all black style. I will be returning them and purchasing the next size. I’ve been a barefoot distance runner for years running in the Merrel Trail and Vapour Gloves. They changed the design and fit of those shoes and they were no longer comfortable. After I broke a bone in my foot, I feared barefoot running was over for me.I decided to give these a try as they seemed to offer a touch of extra padding under the big toe (where my injury was), while still maintaining a barefoot feel. I found them true to size with extra room in the toe box…which is necessary when barefoot running as your toes need ample room to splay naturally without feeling confined. This was an amazing feature compared to the Merrel barefoot shoes which are VERY narrow. They are very much a barefoot shoe but offer a slight amount of cushion under the big toe and heel which make your feet very happy. They are breathable and don’t smell at all. I recommend airing them out after each run…meaning don’t keep them sealed in a gym bag or cupboard and you won’t have any issues. I have never worn socks (which you shouldn’t in barefoot shoes) and have accumulated about 150 miles worth of running in them in the last 4 months. They don’t smell AT ALL and they look brand new! I couldn’t be happier with them. I’ve never gotten a blister or formed calluses as I have in other barefoot shoes. The interior is nice and soft. The price point is the cherry on top! Half the price of other barefoot shoes on the market!!I’m buying another pair to add to my collection.Don’t hesitate to buy these because they are inexpensive, they are a quality and comfortable barefoot shoe!!Happy running!!

Very comfortable, great fit
I ordered these after some hesitation as these don't belong to a famous brand. But the shoes are very comfortable and give a great barefoot feel, along with having the needed cushion.I use these in the gym during weight training. Not for running though as I still need my cushion shoes for that. I can be in these shoes all day long with no knee pain or tiredness. Love them for walking as well.Highly recommended
