Head out of the sand, back to walking barefoot.

More than philosophies platitudes and just information.  Eat dirt helps you get your hands dirty and really start to figure out  why so many people are sick all the time.  With straight foward conversation style Dr Axe helps us get out heads out of the sand and find clarity to all the new information.  Get the clean story on your dirt and you may find yourself not just walking this earth longer but taking your shoes off and enjoying wiggling your toes along the way.  You gotta love a medical book that leaved you thinking.  I didn't know that, I can do that, and know I know how to do that all in one read.  Interesting, fun, and compelling book.  You may not be able to put it down once you start.

Closest thing to walking barefoot!!!  I don't run in them, only walk!

I really like these sandals.  I bought them so that I would not have to walk barefoot on hotel room floors and in hotel showers.  Found out that the soles are firm but comfortably soft and I like to wear them around my own house instead.  Will have to get another pair for the hotel.

First i would like to say that the shoe is a nice fit and feels good to walk in... after you replace the soles. for some reason reef though making the soles of their shoes looks like a pile or small rocks would be comfortable, its not. i put the soles from my old Simple Shoes (the best shoes i ever had) and now they're super comfortable. The leather upper is a nice touch that you will probably never get a compliment on. it isn't really noticeable but im sure the shoes will last longer and its nice to be able to waterproof a pair of sneakers.

all in all they are good shoes and i would recommend them. especially since they are only like 20 bucks.

Like many, I had long associated the Birkenstock brand with comfortable, healthy footwear (and granola and patchouli and...).  When my current pair of Bohn sandals finally fell apart, I happened across this pair of Birki's at a reasonable price and decided to see what all the fuss was about.  Yes, they were lightweight and comfortable, and the cork did breathe really well.  For short stretches around the house, they were very comfortable.  I discovered on a recent 4 day trip to the Outer Banks, however, that when I wore them for several hours a day or several days in a row, my feet became so sore that I resorted to walking around barefoot unless I absolutely had to have shoes on to enter a business or walk on the asphalt.  My heel in particular suffered from the minimal give of the cork footbed.  I am beginning to think a pair of Crocs may be more my speed.

this was convenient for beach area.  hot surface, not so much, I felt the burning on my feet.  but its nonslip and since I do not like walking barefoot, it served it's purpose.

I got sick of flip-flops. Mostly because of the flip-floppy sound they made when walking. I picked these up because they had an enclosed toe, making them perfect for mild hikes and going to the beach. They're washable and dry quickly.

The sole of the sandal is durable and the "insole" itself is comfortable (soft, but not too soft), making this my extra pair of shoes if I'm traveling as well.

When these first arrived, I immediately opened them up and went for a walk. What better way to test them out? My right sandal was laying weirdly on my foot. My small toe (the one that is useless and we wish we didn't have) kept popping out of the sandal. This was so frustrating. I realized that, besides my foot not being a perfect work of art, that if I adjusted the tension of the bungee cord (less tension, not more), the fabric of the shoe wouldn't force my toe out.

After that little experience described in the paragraph above, the sandals haven't failed me since. I love these because the leather upper can be "crushed" for traveling, but also because of how strong the sole is. I would definitely buy these again.

These shoes feel like walking barefoot, but with better traction and just the right amount of heel padding needed. They do take some getting used to, and they can feel tight in the toes at first, but the material is top notch and the size was just as expected. A week after purchase I can only wear them a few hours per day, but it's already becoming more and more comfortable. Highly recommend a pair!

Needed something wide while pregnant. These worked well considering the price.  They do not have any support, however, so be prepared to feel like you're walking barefoot in that regard.

Love these shoes. Purchased one of each color. Feel like I'm walking barefooted.

For the past few years I have been suffering from peripheral neuropathy in both of my feet. This is a painful condition that develops as nerves die from diabetes. I am unable to walk anywhere barefoot, and I have to wear diabetic shoes. The last time I went to the beach, I was unable to walk and collapsed. I was so embarrassed, and I had to be rescued from the seashore. I come from a beach loving family, and we even sometimes celebrate our birthdays at the beach, so Ive been looking for a solution that will allow me to walk on the sand and partake in family activities. I found this pair of Seasnug Low Cut Sand Socks from seller Seavenger, and I am so happy with this product.  I ordered a size large, and the socks fit without compressing my feet and the ankle height keeps them on. Best of all, I can walk on the sand better than ever, and the water does not shock my feet the way it does when I go barefoot. Its so nice to find a product that works. This pair of Seasnug Low Cut Sand Socks will keep the bottoms of my feet from burning on the sand, or from getting too cold in the water. Its just the perfect solution for me. This product is made of soft, flexible fabric with super durable, soft, flexible soles.  The materials are lycra and neoprene, which is washable and will dry quickly when hung to dry. There are so many different colors and designs to choose from. I went with the black and blue mosaic tile design and I really like them a lot. I can wear these socks all day long, which is a bit of a miracle for me, and I could not be happier with this item. I hope this review helps to better inform your purchasing decision on this product. Thanks for reading.

A soft, easy, light-weight slip-on canvas shoe when I am running out the door.  I do not like to wear sneakers unless I am at the gym, so these have a nicer appearance.  Not a lot of support, a copy of "toms", but I can go without socks and I like the barefoot feel.  Great price for a shoe not to worry about. I am not yet sure of how well they grip on a wet surface- they could be slippery.  But good for the beach, and I hope, on a boat deck.  A tiny bit wide (I ordered an 8, my regular size) but no problems.

I'm a 35 EU (5 US) in my other vivobarefoot shoes, but these in 36 were too tight to walk in. BUT then I realized you can take out the insole... and after I did that, it was a good fit.

Removing the insole means it is slightly less cushioned and insulated, but for my purposes and climate where it rarely goes below the 30s, it's just fine.

I wore these in snow and rain and they seem to be waterproof too. The feel of the sole is nice, "barefoot" enough for being light of feet but not too painful for walking on concrete sidewalks.

All in all very pleased. If you want to have the warmer insole and also wear thicker (wool) socks, try going 2 sizes up.

Comfortable shoe, fit as expected.  One major flaw -- The toe area seems to be reinforced under the mesh with some sort of material that sand sticks to.  I walked on the beach with these shoes and the fine sand adhered to this area - it wasn't simply stuck in the mesh - i tried blowing it off with an air compressor and flushing it out with water, no luck.  If not for the this issue i'd give the shoe 4.5 stars.  In other words, if you're not planning on walking on the beach with them, I'd definitely buy a pair.  Otherwise it's good to be aware of this issue.

This is an nice shoe for hiking and going to the beach. Make sure you put a better insole support. I use Super Feet and it then makes them way more comfortable it has better arch support.
