I've worn these in creeks, rain, and snow so far. Waterproof and very comfortable, surprisingly warm for how thin they are. I probably wouldn't make them my hiking in snow shoes, but they work really well for every day wear into just above freezing. True to size for me.

I bought a pair of loafers from Feelgrounds at the beginning of summer this year and had myself a pain-free summer. I was so amazed that I knew these boots were a must. I have not been disappointed. The boots I had last year gave me pain within 10 minutes, these feel more comfortable than being barefoot! They were a wee bit stiff, but after wearing them for half an hour they were working in well. I have not had any issues with wet feet or discomfort of any kind. Worth every penny. I ordered a size bigger than normal so I can wear thicker socks and I they are comfortable with regular and thick socks. Not bulky or heavy, they don't cause tripping or unsteadiness.
I am also really impressed with their look. I was a little worried that they would look very wide and odd shaped compared to "regular" boots, but they are just less odd looking than previous pairs. They feel nice and I feel stylish.

I’ve gotten several compliments on these boots just in the few weeks I’ve had them. They’re super comfy and great quality. I can’t wait to get another pair!

New to barefoot shoes and I wanted something that looked similar to a conventional Chelsea boot but with the benefits of barefoot design. These boots are it!! They have a wider toe without looking like a clown shoe. The tread on the bottom gives the illusion of a thick sole but is so flexible. The footbed feels great for walking and has just the right amount of thickness. Sizing is accurate. The material is soft and comfortable around my ankle. I ordered half a size up for room for thick socks (they are not warm by the way, which I expected). I was impressed with how quickly they shipped to Canada, like less than a week. So happy with these boots and definitely would like to try more styles!!

These boots are insanely comfortable and I love that they're made of vegan materials! They're super easy to slip on and and look great with just about any outfit. My only complaint is that they fit super small. I have several pairs of feelgrounds boots and shoes that fit perfectly in a women's size 10, but I had to size up to an 11 with these.

I was looking for a Chelsea style boot that was not made of leather, had a wide toe box, and zero drop with some water resistance… this checked all the boxes! I went up a size as I was on the edge of the snaller size but wanted the option to wear thicker socks. They fit a little large but I think a smaller size would have been too small. I love that they easily slip in and off, the cork footbed, and that they are actually designed to fit real feet. The toe box is slightly snug initially but felt better after an hour or so of wear. Highly recommend!

These boots are great! They go with most everything, super comfortable, and well made. This was my first purchase from Feelgrounds and I’m new to barefoot shoes so I bought the felt insoles for a little extra lining and warmth for the winter and they’re perfect. I love my boots!!!

Been looking for brown, barefoot, vegan leather boots for almost two years and these are the ones.

Great for everyday life in fall and spring, will keep you warm in the cold, and looks great, unlike other barefoot brands than end up looking like clown shoes.

It also works great if you're cosplaying Indiana Jones, Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, or your favorite explorer🗺️🧭

While they may work for simple trails, I wouldn't recommend taking them for a technical hike.

Fantastic barefoot shoe for the fall. Easy to put on for quick walks.

I love these boots. They have proven to be waterproof up to just above my ankle. The materials are sturdy and good quality so far. I've hiked in them, worked and walked in them almost daily since purchase. I put my orthotic inserts in them, and they still have that barefoot shoe feel. They are still a little stiff, which has been flaring up my PTT in both feet (my feet prefer to be able to have full freedom of motion) because of the stiffness of the faux-leather material. I'm hoping they'll get broken in more and more over time, because I love these boots.

They are comfortable, don’t draw any undue attention, and I was able to wear them for two days at Disneyland without issue. Not sure what else you could ask for really

Thank you so much for making these shoes. They are very close to the shoes I have been looking for for years. They are easy to care for, the fabric is soft and very comfortable to wear.

I’m thrilled with my purchase! After learning about barefoot shoes through Anya’s Reviews, I decided to switch from my Blundstones, which occasionally caused shin splints, to FeelGrounds for a month-long UK trip. Although they arrived last minute, they were comfortable right away, with no “break-in” period needed. Walking on Britain’s cobblestone streets was a whole new experience—the flexible soles allowed me to feel the texture of the stones beneath my feet, making me feel grounded and connected, a big difference from the thick soles of conventional boots. They’ve held up well in drizzly weather too.

For first-time barefoot shoe buyers, be prepared for a roomy toe box—it felt big at first, but following the sizing guide worked perfectly!

I bought my usual size 8, they fit perfectly. There’s enough room to wear thicker socks. I love the extra space for my toes and my feet don’t feel confined.
