Great for flat feet, reasonably durable
350418
I retired to Florida recently and was forced to look for cooler footwear due to the hellish heat and humidity of summer here. Unfortunately I was born with flat feet and have gone all my life without being able to tolerate wearing flip-flops, had to rely on Birkenstocks for the arch support. Glad I tried these, they are immune to water so I wear them into the shower room at my marina and can still walk all the concrete docks with reasonable comfort and support. I weigh 260 and have EEE wide feet so I was hard on these. The size chart is reliable for size 11. Used my first pair 3 months continuously before one of the straps pulled out. At that time the bottom tread was barely showing any wear and the foot bed had not caved in significantly. Just ordered another pair. For 5 stars they will have to lower the price and make sure toe strap won't pull out. Watch Amazon suppliers for price reductions as the prices can vary by style and color.

Good Sneakers, durable for flat land freestyle long boarding. It fits at least a full size (US) larger. I normally wear 10.5, had to return for 10, which is still a little sloppy. Lost one star for the insole, which despite being thick and potentially comfortable, they are very flat and have no profile to them.

I am a big guy with big, flat, paddle shaped feet. I seem to find myself replacing my shoes about every six months, but these are the only trail running shoes that have lasted me more than a year of constant use! The arch support is modest, so if you are someone who needs a really supporting shoe, I'm not sure how you'd like it.  The way these lace up, they tighten from the sides and sort of wrap up your foot really well, rather than just pulling and pinch the material at the top . I highly recommend these shoes for their durability and comfort, even over some $100+ pairs I've tried (and quickly destroyed). For the price, these really can't be beat.

I am on my second pair of these things.  I use them as "yard shoes" for gardening and mowing. They are easy to clean - just hose them off. Over time (like 3 years of heavy use), the rubber on the soles wears thin and they start allowing moisture through and become less protective against sharp stones or sticks - time to be replaced. I don't use the straps (I flip them forward so the shoe becomes more like a strapless clog) so I have never had a problem with the straps.  The thickness of rubber under the heel creates a little cushion for your weight.  Not the most elegant of shoes, but comfortable and functional.

I wore these to work for weeks, and although they don't provide the support of a sneaker or work boot, they've lasted the summer with almost no damage to the sole or cloth top material.  I had to wear an ankle brace and used these shoes as slippers (with my heel stepping on the back of the shoe) and the hard plastic of the brace surprisingly did no damage to the shoe.  They're lightweight, great for summer, and I got my feet wet in them a few times, and they don't stink or feel gross.

It's just a shame that they don't come in half sizes, the 10 is a little large for me, which is expected since I usually wear a 9.5. I just wear slightly thick cotton socks and they fit fine.  If you want to just wear them barefoot, and you're on a half size like me, order a half size down.

I just jumped in and bought these shoes on a hunch that the positive things I was reading about them was based in a good bit of fact. Well, after a 3-4 day adjustment period, I wear these shoes all day and benefit from a more stable footing and a comfortable walking gait. I really need a relatively stiff soled shoe. My feet are flat, very flat, and I have orthotics in the shoes. I tried them briefly without the insole and just my orthotic insert but it was much too roomy in the toe box and I could sense the unfinished floor of the shoe so the insoles went back in with the orthotic on the top. There's sufficient heel cup to stabilize my foot in this slightly raised orientation and the lacing system cinches down quickly. I deducted a star because the laces themselves are too "slick" and my knots are constantly coming untied. I mean, I work as an occasional kindergartner teacher but I don't think any of my little ankle nibblers are pulling them apart!

I think these are extremely well made shoes and should last for 8-12 months of daily use. I notice little sole wear after 3-weeks of light use. My foot doctor asked if I knew that these shoes are no longer made. News to me.

I've had these shoes for a couple of weeks now and find them to fit and wear fantastically.  I've worn them to work a couple of days, but their primary use is CrossFit.  The slight heel rise (3mm) is nice if the true no-rise shoe isn't for you.  (Don't listen to the marketing hype...the vast majority of us need that rise.)

I wear a U.S. mens 10.5 in most shoes (dress, athletic, casual) and these fit lengthwise just right.  Be aware, though, the these are not made for wide feet.  Like every other Inov8 I've tied on, they fit my relatively narrow foot snugly from heel to toe box.

Unexpected upside:  The soles are more robust than my previous pair of Inov8s.  (Sole is still soft, but the outermost "tread" layer is tougher and will last longer.)

Downside:  If there is ANY water or snow on the ground, then your socks won't stay dry.

I have flat feet, so for me these provide great support.

These shoes are great. They are more durable than some other shoes I have owned but I would say their durability is average for a shoe. I am very hard on shoes and I have torn up many shoes before these and my old pair of these fell apart under the same amount of abuse as other brands of running shoes I have ruined in the past. They are perfect for barefoot running on trails and they are light and flexible. I also like to use them for weightlifting. These make excellent powerlifting shoes. The only problem I have had in previous pairs of this shoe is that the insole slides out of the shoe after they have been used a lot. I removed the insoles from the old shoes and the annoying problem was fixed. The toe box is not as wide as I would like it to be but it is not super narrow either. Wearing these shoes feels somwhat like wearing socks because they are light and flexible. The difference is that they have a rubber sole on the bottom. I will likely buy them again in the future because these shoes are very comfortable barefoot shoes, they are moderately durable, and they are the cheapest barefoot running shoe I could find that are not totally stupid looking.

Ok, these are not the prettiest shoes out there, but for my wide, bunion feet they are a delight.  It is very hard to find decent looking, well fitting flats for everyday use but this shoe fits the bill.  They do not have a lot of cushion on the bottom so I don't really use them for when i will be standing around for hours, but daily errands, volunteering, general up/down kind of day they perform great.  The top edge cut of the shoes goes well past my bunions so i do not have to worry about discomfort across that area (a problem with most flats)and with the shoe being LEATHER  is stretches beautifully for comfort. They do look great with jeans.

This is a great shoe for someone looking for something between a normal tennis shoe and one of those five toe 'barefoot' shoes.  Pretty tough sides and sole, I've worn them a few times a week for six months and still look close to new.  Virtually no cushion in the step, but great if you're looking for something low profile.

They aren't overly cute, but they pair pretty well with blue jeans to work. They are reminiscent of TOMS, but we could all do without the large & prominent "BOBS" tag on the heel. They are very flat footed and lack arch support - I noticed immediately putting them on. But as my foot formed to the memory foam throughout the day, they provided enough support to keep me comfortable walking around a moderate amount. I have pretty thin feet and I think if you usually wear a wider size you may notice them rubbing you wrong in a couple places. They are true to size and my toe doesn't rub the end uncomfortably or anything. Overall, if you can find a color that's cheaper or get a good deal, go for it, you will wear them. But don't splurge on these. They're just okay.

I like these very much. I have a WW foot and the width is perfect, although the right shoe is a tad too big, it tends to flop just a bit. Not enough to be annoying and cause me to send them back, but I have to wear a sock (one of those little hidden ones for flats), which I should do anyway so they last and don't get all nasty. It's odd as I don't have that with any other shoe, my feet are the same size, not one a little bigger or anything. The footbed isn't really cushioned very well and the arch support is no better than in most flats, I didn't expect much there but they are comfortable to wear all day at a desk job getting up and walking around periodically. They are, technically, flats but they have a tiny bit of a heel, no more than an inch, but it's enough that my heel pain doesn't flair up as it would in a true flat. I don't think I could wear them all day if I were on my feet the whole shift, but for my purposes, they are great.

Confortable shoes, holding up well after 7 months of use.

These have been solid as my boots for about a year now, between assignments in Korea and Qatar. They're starting to show some wear though, especially with the interior lining, and the foam accents around the heel. The lining near the heel on both boots is pretty torn up, but doesn't ruin the functionality of the boot. With socks on it's barely noticeable. As for the foam accents, they've started to peel away some and have a somewhat shredded appearance now. Still, it's not terribly noticeable, and the rest of the boot is fine. I haven't experienced any issues with the zippers at all, and really appreciate the convenience of having them. The composite toe does tend to be narrow though, as others have noted, so if you've got wide feet this might not be the best option. My feet are a standard D though, and I don't have any issues with the toebox. These aren't great for summertime in Qatar, but they're not terrible either. All in all, these are a solid, convenient, and semi-durable option for boots. I don't think I'd wear them into combat, but they'll work just fine for inside the wire.

Chucks are as Chucks do, right? No surprises here! I've been wearing Chucks for over a decade now, and use them generally as a good flat platform for weightlifting, and a good compliment to jeans on a casual night out, for which these work great! If you don't know what you're getting in Chucks, well, they're durable, simple shoes with very limited padding and no arch support, that look pretty good. For non-Olympic style weightlifting, particularly deadlifts, where you want the flattest base possible, with minimal amounts of flex and cushioning, these work great. Unless you go to purpose-built lifting shoes, you won't find many shoes that are flatter, and with less give in the soles (which are flexible, but don't compress much). Unfortunately, these qualities also mean that my Chucks aren't the most comfortable shoes to spend an entire day in, and I generally find that if I'm doing a lot of walking around over the course of a day, my feet ache a little for a different pair of tennis shoes. Still, for a casual night out, these are perfect! That being said, if you're getting Chucks, you probably know what you're getting into, and in that case these are as youve pretty much always known them!

Pros:
Good price
Durable construction
About as good and iconic as casual shoes get
Flat, stable sole with minimal compression makes for a relatively good lifting shoe

Cons:
Not particularly well padded or comfortable for all day wear
Lack of heel lift limits use for some weight lifting styles

I needed solid black shoes for my job, where I often have to stand for 8 hours a day.  When you have bad arches, that can be a nightmare if you don't have shoes that will help you out.  To make the search harder, I have extra wide feet, so options are limited.

These shoes fit the bill very well and have saved by feet, ankles, and knees.  One major drawback is their lack of durability.  For $100+ dollar running shoes I would expect them to be alot more sturdy than they are.  The mesh across the top of the toes tears too easily and the soles have worn out faster than I would have liked after six months of use.  I don't use these as running shoes, they're just daily work shoes.

It's not that these are bad shoes, it's just that they're a bad value at their price point.  I'll probably be buying another pair soon, for lack of a current better option, but I am looking for more economical solutions.
