Great Shoe With a Minor Niggle
Right, first off - I love theses shoes and wear them as often as I can as they give my feet unbelievable freedom of movement. The are comfy well made and (mostly) well designed. They are always commented on and I have sold the virtues of the Furoshiki to all that would listen. The weigh next to nothing and fold up small for travelling, which is superb. my one niggle I the small rubberated (definitely not a real word, but you'll get my drift) toe-cap, it needs to continue about 3-5mm further up the shoe. there have been several instances of my big toe popping up, out of the rubberated (real word now I've used it twice) pocket. Now I wouldn't be so bold as to say I've got normal feet, after all what is normal? I don't have freakishly long/short toes they're just average, so this must occur to other folk. Bottom line add that 3-5mm and you've got the perfect alternative to the repellent Sandal, a great gym shoe and a terrific all-rounder. I'm also going to say they make excellent slippers. So there you have it - well worth a purchase, but with a little niggle.

Comfiest House Shoes
While I vary what shoes I wear, I’m barefoot or in minimalist shoes around 50% of the time. I bought these to wear around the house in place of slippers and the are by far and away the comfiest slippers / house shoes I’ve ever worn.The minimal Vibram sole provides good protection against my kids toys and against the tiled / wood floors plus the stretchy fabric genuinely just cocoons your feet. As other reviews have stated, the toe box is a tiny bit narrow. I wear a UK 11 and these are true to size but, while hardly restrictive, a tiny bit more room around the toes would make these even better but, even as they are, they remain pretty perfect!

Great shoe.
First off I bought the original in 2016. After 4 years of wearing them, mostly inside, they gave up and I had to chuck them. Over 4 years service isn't bad though considering I wore them pretty much every day. This version seems hugely improved over the original. First off the Velcro doesn't make contact with the floor. The toe has more protection. The sizing is way better (Before it was XS, S, M, L and XL) and they just seem a bit more robust. I picked my size of Vibram Five Fingers, 9.5-10 (44) and the fit is perfect. Will I wear them outside and go on long walks, probably not, I have my other Vibrams for that. I wear them as sort of slippers but then can also go outside to the car/garage etc, which is a bonus. Highly recommended.

They are really great, but the small edges (where straps clip on) start to brush against your foot and get really annoying after a while, but this problem occurs only when wearing them barefoot without socks. Other then that wouldn't want my shoes other way, plain, simple, comfy and feel like I'm barefoot while walking on street!

Delighted
Bought as a Christmas present for my husband, who is absolutely delighted with them. He loves the barefoot type of shoe and these fit the bill perfectly

Less than 3 days wear before big hole torn by toe
Lovely fit and feel - true barefoot walking.Sadly they don’t last more than a few days - toe broke through after one very short run, 4 short walks and one gym session.Needs *much* stronger reinforcement at the front else they’re unwearable sandals in seconds.Getting refund from MAXXbodycare proving a challenge so far as these were worn. Will update review as that progresses.Would currently recommend avoiding shoe and supplier.
