JoomraWomen's Trail Running Barefoot Shoes | Wide Toe Box Minimalist Sneakers | Zero Drop

At first, as a Sketchers Arch Support wearer, they were difficult to get used to. I am 75 and have a pronated right foot and weak arches. I thought I'd made a mistake buying them but have discovered that wearing totally supported shoes have emprisioned my feet and made them weaker. The Joomra shoes have a wide enough toe area to wear silicone toe separators!!!! I am thrilled! My left foot toes are crimped and now I can comfortably wear toes separators without pain or sandals. The foot bed now feels to be gently massaging my foot when I walk. Am taking them to Europe with me, but will not use them for long walks on hard pavement because they do not have enough support for me. I use them now around the house and garden, working out, and shopping....Update August 1, 2024: Have been wearing them in Portugal practically every day. I've added an additional insole underneath the one that came with the Joomras which has made them so much more comfortable. I can now go on long walks without getting tired feet. One thing I've noticed is that my feet are a lot less tense because my toes can spread out now. The hammer toes on my left foot have even started to relax and flatten more.I also like hat I don't have to lace up the shoes and can just slip them on and then don't even have to pull the tightening chord to wear them comfortably. They also do not slip on the shiny, worn cobblestones here.... They stay cool, wear well in beach sand, and are easy to clean. I would definitely buy them again.Please note: I am NOT a paid reviewer...I am continuing to update this review because I think it might help others with problem feet.Update Sept. 30, 2024: Just machine washed my Joomras in hot water on a 2 1/2 hr. cycle. They came out looking and smelling great. I wear them every day b/c they are so comfortable. I especially like that they are easy to put on and tighten without having to tie shoelaces. Unfortunately, one of the pull on loops at the heel broke and I will have to sew it back on as it is hanging there. This is not a game changer....Update: Oct 18, 2024: Washed my Joomras a second time and they still look like they just came out of thethe box. I wear them every day now. They remind me of the padded moccasins I loved wearing 60 years ago!Update Oct. 24, 2024; you probably think I'm crazy to keep updating my review...but I just love these Joomra's so much I want to let everyone know my experience over time. I FORGOT TO NOTE THAT THE JOOMRAS ACTUALLY MAKE MY SIZE 11 N-M FEET LOOK SMALL AND TRENDY. Really, I'm 5'9" tall and 160lbs ...was worried that the size 11 would make my feet look big...like so many shoes I've worn. I have "Greek toes" (Big toe longest sloping to a tiny piinky). So nice and roomy even with socks! My feet really relax in them and I feel so grounded!I have read some of the negative reviews, and would agree that they are not the best for running...but walking on a firm surface is great. The extra insole I added underneath the one that came with them have made them super comfortable. They are certainly not like water shoes....they are much more supportive and not floppy or slippy at all....they also do not leak. They are not cheap material...I've washed them 2x now on long cycles with very hot water and they still are holding up fine.If I were back in the states I would definitely buy another pair because they are on sale now!December 18, 2024 update: I'm back in the US. There's snow and ice outside my house in the Catskill woods but I am still wearing my Joomras around the house to keep my feet warm. I have to say that they are vastly more comfortable and durable than my too quickly worn out LL Bean sheepskin lined mocs...that are now threadbare and flat as pancakes. The Joomras are still almost like new. The only thing I am not happy with (as mentioned above) is the pull loop at the heel broke on both...but I did pull too hard I guess...On a final note....I met a woman in Lisbon who told me that the reason she moved to Malaga Spain rather than Portugal is because she had a friend who slipped on the ubiquitous polished pavers and she was terrified of same. I used to slip on them too until I got my Joomras; but I don't have to worry about that anymore or slipping anywhere in the house (I'm 76 now).Am thinking now of wearing them to my gym work out....Update: April 1, 2025Joomras are definitely for warm days only....because they are incredibly well ventilated. I have tried to wear them as slippers around my cabin this winter (30-50 degrees F.)..but my feet freeze (in all fairness I have Hashimotos). I can put wool socks on but there is really no space for my toes then. Am thinking of buying my next pair a size larger...but that would land me in a size 12...which might make me look like bozo....Wish they came in half sizes....P.S. They work really well at the gym!Ordered new Joomras in size 11-11.5.(43)..didn't realize my beloved greys only come 10.5-11. I was sent a black pair which are completely different from the pair I've been wearing. The size 43 does not have the lovely breathable crochet material, have a stiff velcro closure which is awkward to use, and a stretchy pull lace They fit ok but they are ugly---don't buy the Black 43!In the attached picture you can see my old ones on the left and the new black ones on the right. Notice how the old ones have held up.Update May 19th. Just got my new Joomras for the summer. Love the color! The old Joomras have expanded a bit but are still terrific and look almost new even though I've worn themb all last Summer and Fall and now in the Spring.A note of caution--don't buy the Joomras with the Velcro strap closing. It is badly designed. The pull cord works really well.

I ordered a one size larger than 8.5 size that is my normal size and they fit perfectly,These shoes are the best barefoot shoes in my opinion because:They are first off classy looking detail. Nice shape to the toe.I like the soft fold over of the part that is under the eyelet. They hug the foot! Good narrow heel for support and a pull loop to pull the shoe on.I like the soles that do not slip for fast walking. I like that they hand wash very well in a pan of sudsy water and dry quickly like new and seem to resist stains I have a pair I have washed twice and are still worn every day like new!I have almost every every color in these special shoes. No more corns, hammer toe, and can wiggle toes to keep them from becoming numb. I love this company's shoes!!! I now have the new color beige after a long wait. Thank you! :)

Shoes are very comfortable for casual walking & running/jogging (if you’re a forefoot runner) on pavement. First couple of days my feet were a little achy after wearing them but I expected that knowing there would be an adjustment period. I wore them on a short hike through the woods to a creek bed - some debris got in there. Would not recommend them for hiking or trail running if the terrain is rocky or has a lot of exposed roots (as we do here in N GA) because you can feel every stone & root to the point of bruising if you land hard. Would be better if they had a Vibram-like sole that was sturdier yet still flexible (Xero shoes are great for that) Overall, I like the shoe & will keep it but will probably have to pay more for a higher quality barefoot trail shoe

I bought these shoes almost 2 years ago and absolutely love them! They take a little adjusting to if you are not use to minimalistic shoes. If you are starting out with these, I'd suggest start by wearing them on shorter walks and work your way up. I have wide feet and these are great. They are stretchy and grippy when hiking. As of this spring I've noticed the grip going away, so I think its time to buy a new pair. 40 bucks for 2 years is great tho! I go on shorter hikes a couple times a week and longer vacation hikes a couple times a year. These have replaced my bulky hiking shoes for 90 percent of the time. If the trail is muddy, I'll put back on my hiking shoes.

I got these shoes more than a week ago. I’ve been wearing them everyday. There was no break in period. These shoes were comfortable from the first time I put them on. I even like the red color. “Look at my shoes!” The shoes have an arch support that makes wearing them all day better than going barefoot. The size is perfect. The shoe is breathable and I’m wearing them hiking in and out of water. The shoe is built with good fabric and durable stretch. I am beyond happy with my purchase. If and when I wear them out, I’m ordering another pair.

I really wanted to like these, but unfortunately the fit wasn't quite right. Materials seemed high quality and therefore durable. Good grip on the ground. Very lightweight and flexible. Toe box ultra comfy.Design wise it has some flaws.→ There isn't enough cushioning in the heel and it could do with a little bit more support or cushioning in the inner/arch area.→ The back of the shoe was too short and shaped in a way that didn't enable it to hug the back of my heel. My heel kept moving up and down rubbing against the back of the shoe.→ I walked indoors on a walking pad for a good 10-15 minutes in these and also did some walking on carpet and my heels were hurting.I am a size 8.5/9 and I got this in 8.5.Perhaps it would have worked better to try a 9. If I decide to try again I will size up and update my review.
