These shoes feel like slippers. I did put some insoles that I got from Vivobarefoot in them which probably helps but they are lovely to wear, well made, nice looking, just perfect for this in between time of year and will probably be fine in all weathers other than extreme hot or cold. They also keep the rain out (I have treated them with a beeswax conditioner). I’ve been searching for a shoe like this for a long time so really happy with my purchase. Perfect barefoot boot/shoes.
