After reading many reviews, i ordered "True to size", but it was 1/2 size too small. Got rapid refund of this order & simultaneously placed order for NEW pair that was 1/2-size bigger than my actual foot size. Fits PERFECTLY!Have only been wearing these approx. 1-month (and not continuous wear, as it's been occasionally freezing & wet in NYC this winter, and these are mesh sneaker!) No insulation or foot warmth - but I bought these shoes for flexibility, NOT foot warmth! I have leather shoes for that. Unsure how long they'll wear ... will try to remember to report back in a few months!PROS:- V. flexible (forward/backward, twist!) & v. light, which is what i was looking for! Much more work felt by muscles of my feet, esp. inner-arch, which was exactly my goal.- Shoe sole & cut is designed to shape the inner-arch area, but there is MINIMAL support (forces inner arch muscles to actively work, rather than passively resting on shoe-supplied arch-support!)- Super-comfy from the moment i put these shoes on ... which is how i evaluate shoes, now. NO "wearing-in" period!- Roomy toe-box, but not too roomy ... I usually wear New Balance & Saucony sneakers (wide fore-foot, narrow ankles/heels). This shoe's toe-box allows full movement of individual toes, but mesh-uppers keep shoes securely snug to foot, without excess toe-space.- Individual toes NOT separated (i prefer this), only LOOKS like individual toes.- Included elastic "speed laces" (no tying shoelaces needed) with ** extra VELCRO DETAIL ** (prevents long-end from flopping around during run/walk)- Strong & secure back-of-heel Pull-on Tab (sewn-in all-along back of heel & under rubber sole ... avoid tab pull/break-off (EXCEPTION: "Black Stripe model" has only little pull-tab)- Good, grippy soles (non-slip on wet surfaces)- Also, GREAT price & v. fast delivery!CONS:- A little bit of fraying on edge-of-tongue of one shoe (may not last more than 3-6 mos, which is OK).- Possibly Interrupted Supply: Once you find the size that works well for you, perhaps order a couple back-up pairs. When Trump requested additional shipping tariffs on goods from China, these products went out-of-stock for a few wks.- City streets: Made to run/walk on DIRT TRAILS, so City-streets/sidewalks & subway-platforms can be a "sensory-challenge" ("Oh my gosh, with these shoes i feel EVERYTHING on the ground"). I generally walk 5-7 mi/day (sometimes up to 10 mi), so the balls of my feet feel tired/achy after 4-5 mi (due to less padding than most sneakers). I try to remember to bring an extra pair of more cushioned shoes, on those long-mileage days, to save the balls of my feet!FINAL TIPS:- FYI: Buy 1/2-size larger than true shoe size.- If currently wearing very supportive sneakers, gradually phase-in "wear time" of these shoes (same as all minimalist shoes). Start with 30-60 min for 1-2x per day for a few days. Alternate with wearing other flexible sneaker that's a bit LESS flexible than this shoe (e.g. Nike "Free", Puma "Ignite Netfit", Adidas "Boost", etc.) AND do Heel Raise-and-Hold for 10-count (standing on balls of your feet) with toes pointed /, | |, / . Strengthens inner-arch & calf muscles, so they'll be strong-enough to support foot in minimalist shoe.If feet fine after 2-3 days, try doubling time, 2-4x per day, for several days. Do another foot check-in ... if feet still fine, should be OK to wear all-day.

I love zero shoes! I have neuropathy in left foot. I’ve had 4 foot surgeries & the last one was botched by fusing my big, 2nd & 3rd toes which has thrown my spine & gait to be permanently out of alignment. Along with neuropathy I have back pain, especially in the wrong shoes. Zero shoes doesn’t require breaking it, they are comfortable the minute you put them on & can hike or wear them all day pain free! Zero shoes put your body back in alignment. Zero shoes are different from water shoes. They are sturdier & have a thicker better sole. I own 4 pair & ordering another pair today. They are washable & dryable. You can’t wrong with these shoes. They have a wide boxed toe so your feet aren’t scrunched up in them. They aren’t slippery so you have a good grip if hiking or on slick flooring. They have so many styles & cool colors. They are not waterproof but dry very quickly. For the price you can’t beat a zero shoe.

I wanted a shoe for Tai Chi and stretching that would protect my feet yet allow me to feel my shifting weight. This turned out to be perfect. It's very comfortable. It feels similar to walking barefoot with a bit of support and protection. Also pretty easy to put on and take off. Good for working in public spaces where you don't want to actually be barefoot. Also have good traction, not slippery on ceramic tile or hardwood surfaces. Flexible and can be rolled up and take little space in your workout bag. Benefits of feeling like being barefoot, yet light protection for your feet.

My son had these shoes and I wanted a pair for myself. The sizing however runs small in my opinion. I normally wear a 10.5 - 11 in womens and ordered the women's shoes in size 11.My toes were squished up against the front of the shoe, however, so I am returning and ordering the next size up.However, they did feel nice on in all the other aspects, although I haven't had a chance to actually use them yet, so I will try to update this review at that time. My son is on his second pair, however, so I feel like they are good shoes.I'm just taking one star off for the sizing at this point. I think it would help if they had a size guide as the shoes are sized in International sizes, so having a conversion chart would be helpful as I don't think the sizes were translated well. I've worn a 43 in the past and these are a 42.

I've been wearing these as my gym shoe for at least a month now. Still only walking on the treadmill, just to get my feet / leg / calves used to the difference. I own a pair of basic Vibram Fivefingers. These are MUCH easier to adapt to wearing. They are very flexible and breathable, but not so thin that you can feel everything on the ground (like Vibram's). There are no toe pockets. I have Morton's toe (my first toe is as long as / slightly longer than my big toe), which I read AFTER purchasing the Vibram Fivefingers makes them not a good fit for my foot. No problems at all with this shoe!

They fit very well and are extremely comfortable. They color is fun and look like the picture. They are well made and fit my feet well. I wouldn't walk on sharp gravel or do construction work in them, but yard work, walking, going to the beach are all great. Id say it was a good value for the money.

Very comfortable shoes and I recommend them. The sizes are not easy to figure out. I normally wear 39 but that was too snug for me, so I ordered 40.5. Next time though I will order 41 because I like to have some toe space. I am wearing them with socks.

Quality looked ok, but was too small for me. I'd suggest order a size up.

this is shoe is not for any water related activity, it doesn't dry quickly and you have to dry it like any normal shoe by putting it in the sun for long time..not practical if you are in a trip and want a quick dry shoe for beach or surfing. i regret buying it.

The Saguaro shoes I bought (size 10 mens) give good room in the toe box for my wide feet. I tend to wear socks and the shoes fit well in that mode. I have also left the insole in-place to ease me in to the 'barefoot'' journey.If you tend to not wear socks, or prefer a very ''çlose to the ground'' experience', you might try ordering a half size smaller? Having said that, ordering as per my other shoes worked for me.The lace system is easy to adjust and I am finding I am wearing the shoes more and more wherever I go. The only time I revert back to my old cross trainers is when playing tennis, I have not tried the Saguaros when playing tennis (yet!). After a month of fairly solid use I am very happy with my purchase.All in all, a good well made shoe at a very reasonable price.

The size was wrong the first timeBut they replaced them and fit perfectly - buy one size up
