The thin INSOLE is intentional just like the holes for allowing airflow, these shoe are NOT to support in the typical and keep feet dry as they are designed for no sock wear thats why they are "BAREFOOT" simulation shoes. Sounds like you need a New Balence or Merrell.

Thank you @sanchezwifey6036 for your comment. I agree with your comment. The thing was that they were not advertised as barefoot shoes, that's why my rant. Someone else said to check out the New Balance, will need to look into them although I just bought a pair of slip-on Sketchers that I'm very happy with. I have never heard of the Merrell, will check them out too. Thank you for tuning in. Regards, Mariah

@MariahWadsworth22 күн бұрын
Hello @jab6223, thank you for your question. It was a leavin-in conditioner that I used (any brand is fine). Yes, I did add a little bit of castor oil but that's only because my scalp is very dry. If you have normal hair, skip the castor oil. In fact, try it with just a leavin-in or any heat protector that you have and let me know your results. Regards, Mariah

You bought the shoes for the wrong purpose. I have a pair for indoor and wearing to work. Very comfy and natural to walk in them. I only wear them out on dry days. I bought the waterproof boots for outdoor and they have been just as comfy. I would suggest you contact Hike . They would be able to address your complaint and suggest what you should have ordered to suit you.

I bought my first pair and they were just a hair too small but I love them so much I still wear them even with a little squished toe I can walk perfectly and have no back pain or hip pain mostly. Other than being a little small in the front they don’t hurt the sides of my toes or anything like that like the other shoes. I even bought a second pair for winter the waterproof ones I bought an extra size they are a little too big I really wish they would have better size selection. Other than that they are both pretty comfortable and I wear them both often I’m going to get a summer pair soon

I totally understand where you're coming from, but I have to say I'm really satisfied with my Lorax shoes. Barefoot shoes are meant to give you that close-to-the-ground feeling, which can be a bit of an adjustment at first. But once you get used to them, the support and comfort are amazing! They've really helped me, and I hope you’ll find the same once you give them a bit more time.

Wait, it doesn't sound like you know what you bought. This is a Barefoot shoe. Everything you're complaining about is due to the Barefoot experience. You complained about the thin soul and feeling the ground beneath you but that's how all barefoot shoes are made so you can get a Barefoot experience while protecting your feet. You complained about the holes in the bottom of the shoe but that's how many shoes are made because of air flow and the prevention of smell. Also if you are barefoot, you will get water on your feet just like if you're wearing a Barefoot shoe, you will get water on your feet. All I wear is barefoot shoes and they're all made just like these. This pair is my favorite because they have great grippy souls and I can walk on any surface including wet rocks.
