This is my first experience with barefoot shoes and I love them. They are incredibly stylish and give my feet so much room to move, they also work in so many different terrains. I can hang around New York City and feel stylish and good while wearing them, as well as go on short hikes and really feel the earth and do some minimal climbing with them. Only issue i've had is one pair i bought, the edges of the soul were coming off and I needed to glue them down, and this was within a month or two of having them. BUT I emailed into Wildling and they apologized and gave me store credit for my next purchase.
