WHITINWomen's Barefoot Ballet Flats + Wide Toe Box + Zero Drop Sole

I bought these minimalistic shoes for my mother, and they exceeded expectations. They’re incredibly comfortable with great support, yet still soft and lightweight. The wide toe box gives her toes plenty of room, which is perfect for her hammer toes—no more pinching or pressure. The color is exactly as pictured, and the design is simple yet stylish. One of the best features is the cushioned tab at the back of the heel, which helps prevent rubbing and blisters—she noticed the difference immediately. These shoes have quickly become her go-to pair for everyday comfort!

I change from "indoor" to "outdoor" shoes frequently on our rural property. These shoes work great indoors for quick changes to outdoor clogs. I normally wear 7 1/2 - 8 in women's size. I opted for the size 39, which was a good choice. It is easy to slip in and out of the shoes, but they hug the heel well enough to stay on. There is essentially no arch support, but not surprisingly since they are marketed as a barefoot shoe. The shoes look nice and could be worn in a variety of settings.

These are nice wide toe box black flats - nothing fancy, but they are pretty much what I was looking for.Pros:- They have a nice wide toe box.- They have two insoles for a good range of adjustability depending on what you need for your feet.- They are made of a flexible, fairly breathable material.Cons:- The worst thing about them is that the soles are a little harder than I was hoping for, so they make a little clicking sound on harder surfaces, which is annoying.Minor issues:- They could have a bit more traction, but this isn't really an issue for me.- They look a little cheaply made (if you get close to them, you can see a little bit of glue on the seam between the sole and the upper), but I just don't wear them to anything fancy.Neutral:- They have a little arch support - not enough to support me if I were wearing them all day, but I don't use them for extended periods of time, so it's not an issue for me.- Not much of a barefoot shoe feel, if you're looking for that. If you take out both of the insoles, they have a bit of a barefoot shoe feel, but not as much as some others (such as the wide toe box sneakers from this brand).My feet are very wide, short (about 8 inches heel-to-toe), and tall (a bit over 2 inches on the instep), so it makes it very hard for me to find shoes that don't fall off and also don't squish my toes or the top of my feet. These shoes do a decent job in all those categories, so I'm happy with them. I ordered the smallest size (5.5), and they could fit more snugly, but when I use the thicker insole, it works out. I really like that I can switch to the thinner insole if I want to wear socks with the shoes. The only problem is that with the thicker insole, there's less room for my feet height-wise, so my feet stick up a bit farther than I would like, but the part where the tongue would be (if it were a sneaker) doesn't dig into my feet, so that's good.At the same time I bought these, I bought another pair that was very similar from another brand (Lediney). Those were unfortunately bigger than these (the smallest size available was 6), so I had to return them. Those had a very nice flexible sole that made no noise on hard floors, as well as better traction, but they also only had one insole, so they had less adjustability in terms of size. In everything else, they seemed basically identical.I haven't had them long enough to clean them, but I don't foresee any difficulties with cleaning.All in all, this is a decent shoe, not exceptional value for the price, but perfectly adequate for what I needed. If you're looking for a decent-looking black flat that won't squish your toes, this is a good option.

Super minimalist shoe. Would not recommend for people who haven't worked up to it as it will challenge your arch muscles. But with proper strength training and slowly building into it, these shoes are awesome. Wide toe box to allow natural forefoot splay and very flexible so your feet feel more and get to use their own mechanics instead of being passive in thick shoes.

Stars were deducted for not making the shoes identical except for the color and for not mentioning that information in the descriptionI ordered these shoes (gray 39) because of the wide, square toe box. I was really excited when I put them on. My feet hadn't felt that good in shoes in years. The wide toe box isn't just wide, it is actually the shape of my foot.I was so happy that I purchased a pair in nude. Unfortunately, those shoes slipped off my heels - badly - even with both inserts, even with replacing the insoles with gel inserts and playing around with adding the insoles that came with the shoes. (I highly recommend gel insoles if you are on your feet a lot.)I compared the heel lining of the grey to the heel lining of the nude pair and discovered that there are two styles of shoe. At first glance, all of the shoes look identical in the photos. There is nothing in the description to indicate there are two styles, and they don't fit the same way.The heel padding on the nude is located lower on the heel of the shoe and has thicker padding. Unfortunately, the padding is too low to catch onto my heel, so the shoes slip off when I walk. To be fair, I ordered size 8 instead of 7 1/2 because they don't come in 7 1/2. Having less shoe length might have pushed my foot back far enough to keep my heel from slipping.That being said, the heel on the gray fit me just fine. The heel pads on those shoes are higher up on the back of the shoes and catch my heels so they don't slip out.Before you buy these shoes: look closely at the photos. If the size label (located in the heel of the shoe) in the photo is showing completely, the heel pad is higher up on the heel of the shoe. If the label is partially obscured, the heel pad is thicker and lower.These colors have the higher heel pad: beige, black, both grey colors, white, green and navy.Bottom line: great shoes if you need a square toe box, made more comfortable with a gel insole; be mindful of the heel pad placement.

I love these. They are very comfortable and look nice. I can wear them to church or around town and look put together but still be comfortable.
