Very comfortable shoes.

When I got my 1st pair of the barefoot shoes I fell in love with them. My neuropathy in my feet and the pain in my lower part of my legs all but disappeared , and they're like walking in slippers with rubber soles. I get asked about my shoes quite a bit and them saying that they look a little different but look really comfortable. I say yes they are, but you don't want to wear these, meaning the barefoot style.in the rain, snow, or on wet pavement because your feet get wet and cold because of the little air holes in the soles and they are are all a mesh type material. They have different styles of these comfortable shoes and also winter styles also. I have gotten 3 barefoot style.in different colors, and 2 pair of a different styles and colors, and then a pair of a winter style,and I really do like all of these shoes because the pain in my feet and legs have all but disappeared. And these are very comfortable. I was alittle skeptical about paying what they wanted for them BUT I would and have bought more, they are.well worth it to me to get my neuropathy in my feet and the pains In.my legs gone pretty much. And I am 72 years young now!! Thanks to these "Hike Footwear" shoes with a bigger foot area for your toes and feet to be happy not all scrunched up in the toes like wearing pair of "Stilettos " .

Still waiting for the pair of shoes I ordered in December!

Still waiting for the pair of shoes I ordered in December. Contacted your Company and it took a week for them to get back to me. They have replied 3 times, always with the same message. My order is being held at the Carrier and they will keep checking. I will not order again if it takes this long!

Dishonest return policy.

Return policy extremely difficult to navigate, and if you do finally hear from someone, they don’t honor their policy as written. They say it is too expensive for the consumer to return so instead they offer a partial refund and tell you to keep the shoes. They just wear you down until you accept their terms.

I have a lot of problems with my feet and don’t really like to wear shoes because of the pain and discomfort. These shoes were worn for a long day with out increasing my foot pain. I recommend trying them if you’re having problems with your feet!

Comfort from the Start

The shoes were comfortable from the first moment I stepped into them. The shoes have not disappointed in style or comfort. They arrived in a lovely bag rather than a box. Good for the environment. I highly recommend the company and the shoes.

IMPOSSIBLE Return/Refund Policy

After realizing the shoes I received did not have a deep enough toe box, I tried to return them for a refund. I followed all the rules but with each response to customer service (11 total), I was dragged through a negotiation process.
Each time I was offered a deal I refused. I requested a simple return and refund. Ultimately they said I could keep the shoes and they would refund 50% of the mount I paid for them. I accepted that because I realized that they would make it even more difficult if I continued. I am disappointed.

I was amazed how comfortable the shoes…

I was amazed how comfortable the shoes were the first time I wore them. It took a few days for my feet and calves to adjust to the shoes but I didn’t want to wear my old “comfortable “ shoes anymore.
I typically wear a size 10 1/2 but this shoe is a bit tight so I might try a 1/2 size larger with my next shoe.

You stated that my feet would feel like they are walking on clouds. I disagree. I feel no comfort or any type of cushion. Your sizing needs to be readdressed. I wear an 8.5W. The first pair you sent was a European 39. It was short. I reordered and asked for a 40 which did fit. Maybe your sizing should state if your feet are wide size up. Just a suggestion.
