I like to workout sans shoes and can’t do that at a gym (pic is a home workout) and these shoes are amazing…comfortable I couldn’t ask for anything better honestly

This is my third pair of Ursus low tops. I also pre-ordered the Osos last year and am super excited for that release! The first pair was the initial release, I used them for training then after a month I wanted to use them for work, so I ordered another pair. The second pair was from their improved supplier and the quality was much better! Wore the initial pair at work 12 hours a day until I finally killed them off (this took quite some time) so recently ordered my third pair to replace my gym pair and put current gym’rs to work duties. I was very flat footed and had atrophied feet (without knowing this up until using these) from a lifetime if “normal” shoe-wearing. My feet now retain an arch, are stronger, and feel natural. Honestly, all other training shoes are trash in my eyes now. I will buy these until my dying day and you probably should too.

Best lifting shoe ever! I have 2 pairs now - one for the gym and one to wear out. This is a functional barefoot shoe that doesn't break the budget.
fiona c.
these shoes are changing my life! They are utterly astounding, take some getting used to and will be my go to until i get another pair…very soon! thanks
Charles L.
Such a comfortable shoe. Also with a flatness and width I hadn't yet found in a lifting shoe. Would definitely buy again.
Jerusha J.
Love love love these shoes!! They make all the difference planting my feet and keeping them in the lift! Thank you!!
Aaron W.
My second pair! Bigg there first pair a tad large. Second pair is now perfect and first pair is there everyday shoe!
Ryan R.
Excellent shoe, amazing customer service. Had to order 4 pairs to get the right size and William (customer service rep) was super friendly and responsive. I found the size/length to fit similarly to Chucks. I am a 12 in running shoes (Nike, Adidas, New Balance, ASICS, etc.), a 10.5 in dress shoes (Johnston & Murphy, Rockport), an 11.5 in Chucks / Chuck Taylor… and an 11.5 in Bearfoot. I’ve worn these shoes for a few months and they look + feel better with age. Lots of aches and pains in my joints and lower back have gone away doing nothing other than wearing these to the gym!
Rania A.
Love the shoes! Game changer when lifting. I initially had to lift with socks because I can’t lift barefoot at the gym, but there is no traction with socks, so they weren’t safe. These shoes are comfortable and allow me to do so much more in the gym. Love them
Joe R.
Awesome shoes! I really enjoyed lifting in these. I do feel that they could be a little bit wider for my feet. During lifts, I can feel my toes hitting the shoes a bit. They are perfect for everyday wear, so I pre-ordered the Osos for a shoe a little more convenient for everyday wear.
William B.
So far so good!
Jana P.
These are super comfortable and they look awesome! Shouldn't have waited so long to get a pair
Alain G.
Best shoe I own at the moment love it , my favorite shoe
Duy M.
Great shoes! I had bought the first version a couple years ago and decided to get another pair. You can definitely feel the improvements, especially the insole which feels more plushy instead of a flat surface on my first pairs. I have the black and grey pairs, most likely going to grab the rainbow pair later on.
10/10, fits good to size, I'd recommend going half a size down for a more firm placement for your feet.
Luca
I would recommend anyone looking to improve their lifting to get these shoes. They really let you feel the ground and help you figure out your mobility issues. The one issue I've had after almost a year is that the heel of the sewn in shoe insert isn't very durable and now has holes under my heel and pads of my feet.
Also, it would be nice if the heel of the shoe was a little narrower. It's a bit wide back there and my heel often slides side to side.
Alexei C.
This are by far the best looking gym shoes ever ! And of course extremely comfy, and that is coming from someone that has been training on barefoot shoes for years now. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice this one's feel .
Just FYI, I recommend getting a full size larger than you usually wear. I ordered a 1/2 size bigger and their still pretty tight so for my next pair I will be getting a full size larger.
Øyvind E.
This is a deadlift level up item. Its like barefoot, but better and feels like i'm part of the floor. Was surprised how much it elevated my deadlift feel. A low cost upgrade for the gym and is totally worth the money.
Juan B.
Love these shoes so much. Hands down the best footwear out there and you can’t beat the price. I can’t wait to buy another pair.
Barry W.
Love these shoes. Really feel like you’re barefoot and you can really ground yourself in them.
Justin R.
I absolutely love Bearfoot athletics they never fail with their delivery of quality. I use their shoes for training(heavy lifting) and also for my every day life if I’m not wearing sandles. My toes are the widest and strongest they have ever been. Healthy feet= heavy squats and Deadlifts
Josue R.
Molds to your feet, excellent grip. Laces are a bit long but the color combination looks great!
Chris L.
Love these! Trust me, they're worth the wait! I want to buy another pair for my everyday shoe!
Teresa M.
These shoes are amazing! I usually have a hard time with shoes, not with these. They are so comfortable, I can use them on the treadmill, no problem and my feet do not hurt at all.
I have a wide width and these shoes are perfect.
Cody S.
Absolute game changer. Immediately felt the difference in my lifts with this. And surprisingly comfortable. You have a life long customer.
Austin J.
I love these shoes! I can't even put my feet into a pair of chucks anymore. The customer service was excellent and I would recommend these shoes to anyone and already have. I can completely see myself buying more.
Jorge G.
The quality of the shoe material is amazing. The shoe itself is comfortable and breathable. Much better than a weightlifting shoe. Will definitely purchase again!
Akshay D.
Loved the shoes! Super light and perfect fit!! Highly recommended! Being a student, I was looking for something economical and also one pair that I can use for all exercises squats, deadlifts and in general for all powerlifting workouts rather than buying a separate for each! These fit 100% as per my need :)
Jason A.
Amazing shoes! Stylistically simple and very comfortable!
Jacob F.
I like them. Simple and lightweight. They grip the floor. I have not had them long enough to comment on durability, comfort, or anything else. I think they are a bit expensive for what they are, but I get it that this is something a niche market.
collin g.
These shoes are great, I have struggled with wide feet and narrow shoes all my life especially in the gym.
Aaron C.
Great look. Great shoes. Performed excellent. Just took a long time to ship. Wish the logistics where as great as the shoes
Joe S.
Awesome lifting shoe
Elijah A.
Overall the shoes are great! I have the V1 and was already very happy. I didn’t know they updated them for some reason. Quality seems much much better. It does appear the 11.5 for the new shoe is slightly smaller than the original. It’s still wearable but if I hadn’t already worn them for the last week I would get a 12 instead.
Nolan F.
I used to deadlift and squat in just my socks. These shoes have changed the game for me. Socks slip and slide on the floor and provide little to no stability. The Bearfoot shoes lock your feet in place with all the benefits of being grounded and barefoot.
Jacob R.
Absolutely perfect! I don’t know how else to describe it, but they’re like wearing really comfortable suede socks that let you feel connected with the ground. Can’t wait for the slip-ons to come out!
Tanner V.
This is my third pair and I will continue to purchase these in the future. Add the insoles sold and your minimalist shoe experience will be on another level
Devin F.
Really comfortable shoe. Already feel a better connection and more stable with squats and deadlifts. I would highly recommend
Doug L.
Waited months for them to finally be delivered, they feel and fit great but my only complaint is the shoe string eyes are fraying the shoe strings every time I tighten them up because there’s sharp pieces on the inside of the ring.
MorGan C.
Originally bought a size 8.5 but they were a bit small.. never worn them and didn’t send them back in time.. but i bought the right size now and super excited about them.
Evan A.
I can’t take them off. Favorite pair of shoes I have ever owned
Shannon V.
long shipping time
Charles B.
Shoes are great but they took almost 3 months to arrive. I guess the Uyghurs unionized and went on strike.
Joshua G.
I absolutely love these shoes! They are very comfortable and made squats much easier!
Danny J.
Love these! Super comfortable, great for lifting on cold mornings or if you need shoes. Very happy with these!
Keith M.
Fantastic for daily training.
Jasmin M.
As a Competitive Powerlifter, I have tried different shoes to maximize my best performance whilst deadlifting. These are it! Best shoes I've ever used on my pull days. And fantastic when I do my kettlebell work at home, too. Amazing grip. My feet are stable. I can tripod my feet properly and push through my heels well. Love! Love! Love!
Robert W.
The shoe itself is great! I have no complaints about the way it feels or performs. My only issue is the laces fray and tear too easily. I'll likely have to replace the laces after a couple months of use. But overall I'm satisfied with the product. I highly recommend giving them a try!
Nick C.
Truly very happy with them!
Jeff A.
First workout in these was squats, Bulgarian S/S and other leg exercises. I’m 45 20 years in the military knees are pretty banged up. The way I was able to have my natural stability with some reduced pain in these movements was astounding and awesome since the shoes aren’t cheap. They feel like waking around barefoot which obviously their intention. My only complaint is my feet are wide to begin with about 1/8” more width would be ideal but hopefully my wide foot just wears these into shape a bit. So far very pleased. As far as durability who knows, I’ll update if there are issues had them for a couple of days now.
Jasmin M.
As a Competitive Powerlifter and with the amount of kettlebell training I do, I've been looking for and now have found a fantastic shoe to wear. I love the grip and traction I get from my shoes. I love deadlifting in my shoes. I can't wait to try them out at my next meet! I take my lifting equipment choices very seriously, and I have tried all kinds of shoes in the past. I have found my new favorite shoes to wear on my pull days. Thank you!
Danny J.
Absolutely love these! Great for training on cold mornings too!
Nick
Supremely comfortable. Good construction. Actually foot shaped. Definitely going to get a second pair of these.
Vince J.
The Badlands are me now my second pair and I can’t be happier! These shoes are absolutely amazing and comfortable!!
Cary F.
I had the opportunity to get a pair of Maroon low tops through Kabuki. Loved them so much I ordered the greys. My mom read the insert sent about foot anatomy and the shoes, she really wanted a pair. I gave her my maroon ones, she hasn't taken them off since.
Cary A.
Tried other minimalist lifting shoes that really hurt my feet since they weren't wide enough. Had the opportunity to try a pair of bearfoots and love them. Comfortable and functional. They were great for my first powerlifting meet and hitting 303.1# for the first time.
Alex S.
I’ve been concerned with my foot health recently and have been looking for a shoe that supports my goals during training. The Ursus are exactly what I’ve been needing. The comfort, fit, and performance of these shoes is perfect.
Omar L.
Genuinely nice, comfortable shoes for deadlift and squatting. Materials are top-notch. If I could do it again, I would order a one-half size bigger. I ordered the same size as my trainers. The barefoot shoes are a bit tight. My fault, not theirs. Also, do not plan to use these as regular shoes. Even though they look nice, they are not designed to be worn for walking for a prolonged period
Rebecca U.
I got these shoes for lifting and they are so perfect. If you want to increase your squat or deadlift, foot stability is so important and these shoes are a great way to go for that! The shoes also run true to size. They didn't have my normal size in stock so I got a half size smaller since I read that they will stretch to the size of your foot, and it worked out perfectly fine for me! I am usually a size 7.5 women's and I ordered a size 5.5 men's for these! :)
William N.
Customer service was amazing after the 1st pair arrived and was too small and the 2nd order fit like gloves. Great product and amazing company!
Gladys D.
My son is really happy with the comfort of the wide shoe box just need to get used to a very thin sole but the look and the wide is just on point
Jessica H.
I bought these shoes primarily for a wide toe box, to get as close as the ground as possible, and I needed a shoe that would allow my toes to move. Bonus if I could squat and deadlift in them. I think this shoe checks a lot of those boxes, but there was a few critiques I had that I noticed immediately when putting on the shoe. The toe box dews like it could be wider, as it wasn’t wide enough to wear with a pair of correct toes and the shoe is too wide in the heel. I feel like I couldn’t wear the shoe for squats because my heel is not secure with the shoe being too loose. I wish i could tie the shoe tighter at the top of the shoe but there’s too much fabric. I would been to create new eyelets to get the tight fit I need. It’s a unisex shoe but it’s missing a few nuances for a smaller foot. As for the positives: this is a badass shoe. It takes about a day or two of wearing to break in. I love the minimalist sole that allows me to feel the ground and I feel like I can move my foot in the shoe. I wasn’t a big fan squatting in them I’m going to find another minimalist shoe for powerlifting and make this my causal shoe. This would be a perfect shoe if the heel was more narrow. Otherwise, this shoe is perfect.
weston s.
Comfortable and seem to be good quality. Shipping took FOREVER so plan ahead. A few reviews said they ran small or large but I found that the size I normally wear for these type shoes was the right fit.
Haley S.
These shoes are amazing! As a female, I am a size 7.5 in men's shoes so I got a size 7... should have gone up to 8 instead! My own fault, but the shoes are still awesome and perform as they are advertised! Will more than likely buy another pair when I return from my deployment!
Marcus A.
Might be the best barefoot shoes I've had thus far. The future will tell!
Zoltán S.
Great fit, perfect for workout!
A little warm but breathable, comfortable, and gives so much grip to the feet.
Juanjair C.
Love the grip, great for short bike rides, everyday walking and super easy to put on
Kelsey C.
Great workout shoe. Squatting and deadlifting have never been more Constable and natural.
Brandon T.
I like the shoes. Felt very grounded and comfortable.
The downside is they were a bit small for size. I wear 11.5, but for these I need a 12 (see comparison to 11.5 flip-flop). Other than that, love it. Waiting for exchange right now
Nicholas W.
Shoe ran a little small for me. I am usually either an 11.5 or 12 and my toes were a little cramped in the front. Otherwise they are solidly built, nice and wide in the toebox, and felt like great shoes otherwise. I am excited about getting my exchange.
Jennifer K.
Love the Beartooth shoes!
Alexander H.
Plenty of room for the toes. Feet can definitely grip the floor and I feel like I have more ability to activate glutes on the squat. Never used weightlifting shoes so cannot compare with these bad boys.
Dana B.
Comfortable yet soft. Great for a casual shoe..
Chuc N.
These are simply the best shoes I’d ever owned. I don’t just use it for lifting weights, I wear them every where! They are very good for my feet. If I could, I would never wear shoes at all. But since I must wear shoes, these will be the shoes I wear from now on. I’ve already ordered a tan pair and intend to order another black pair!
David C.
Really great minimalist training shoe. The interior is soft, the shoes are very flexible, and grip is good. I was using Sabo deadlift shoes before and primarily train conventional. I can get into a better position and distribute force more evenly through my foot, I notice a difference even in comparison to the nearly flat Sabo shoes, plus they're smaller and take up a lot less space and weight in my training bag. Best shoes I've used for deadlift.
Brian K.
Great shoe. I use them to teach my physical education classes as well as at gym.
kyle f.
Mostly a recreational powerlifter but I’ll jump in a meet or mock meet from time to time. Always reverted back to lifting barefoot due to balance issues on squat. Day one, love these shoes. Nothing else to say. Very natural and able to maintain balance through the squat and actually “root” feet particularly on the 90+% attempts where that makes or breaks the lift.
Nick B.
My second pair, absolutely amazing, comfortable loose toe box and perfect for really rooting in whether it’s a squat, bench, or deadlift. I’ve used a handful of other deadlift slippers and these are by far superior in every way shape or form. Not to mention, Bearfoot has one of the best customer service teams I’ve ever experienced. Customer for life!
Dominic U.
These shoes exceeded my expectations. I train mostly barefoot or in socks if I'm in the local gym and these shoes give the same feel as if you are barefoot while giving your toes the ability to spread apart the way they are naturally suppose to. They also give a great introduction to walking and running barefoot if you're not used to it.
Shak K.
I love the natural feeling of the shoe. Almost feels like I’m not wearing any. The grip is very good for lifting and sprinting. I typically wear a 10.5 shoe and these are a bit tight at 10.5. Overall these I give these a 10/10
Danielle A.
Phenomenal product! It literally feels like you are barefoot but with better grip.
Artur F.
amazing shoe, heard Duffin talking about it on Mikhailas podcast and started doing research about it, man they feel amazing, and they look great, looking forward if you guys could release some boots or for business like apparel
Dana
Got the shoes for casual daily wear as a minimalist shoe, feels nice, only bit of unsatisfactory is inside the shoe up near toe side knuckles you can feel the material where the stitching is overlapped and connect to form the shoe, sort of feels like it is over stitched or was not flattened when formed..
Bob T.
I’m really enjoying the shoes and training in them is incredible! I have been telling everyone about them bc I think everyone should try them out!!!
Galen D.
These shoes are the best thing I have ever put on my feet. With these bad boys on you can literally deadlift a blue whale both can stop me from ascension to the top of the human race. My feet have became one with the earth I am now both a unstoppable force and unmovable object. Thank you for creating the greatest shoe of all time! Also you guys should make a steel toe shoe/work boot it would be great!
Terrell J.
They pressed down to hard on my toes so I am going to try 1/2 size larger.
Stephen B.
True to sizing on website. Feels great nice wide toe base. Lightweight for easy transport to gym
Dan B.
Super comfortable, enjoy wearing them while lifting. Only negative so far is they are warm, sweaty feet
Vinicius M.
In love with my Bearfoot and looking forward to buying more colors! Let’s see the results of the workouts on the mats.
Jessica A.
Awesome shoes! Can’t wait to work out in them! They look and feel amazing!
Patricia D.
This is my second pair of these shoes, different color though. They are fantastic and totally up my game on all my lifts. My son bought this pair for me for my birthday...2 months early.
Christian O.
Great comfort
JAke G.
These are my first pair of barefoot style shoes and I love them! I have taken them out hiking through rough mountainous terrain and working out in the gym, and they have excellent grip on all surfaces I've encountered so far. They're also light as a feather which is a big difference from my usual work/hiking boots.
I do wish they had an option for Wide though, as the 13s are a little narrow for me and I had to upsize to a 14 which is wide enough but too long in the toes.
Andy Z.
Hi I'm Andy, 183cm 76kg. I wear US10 in Nikes, EUR 43 in Vivobarefoot, US9.5 in Merrell. I bought a US10 Ursus for use in the gym with a minimalist shoe.
This shoe is comfortable in the initial wear, the sole is flat and foot bed wide enough to fit correct toes. The material is soft and the construction seems solid on my first wear in the gym, though my workout today wasn't so dynamic, just based on powerlifting movements. The design is neutral in the foot, much better than the Merrell Vapour Gloves I bought which were pronated before I even put my feet in. There is ever so slight cushioning in the shoe so that it doesn't feel like I'm slapping my feet on concrete(Vapour Gloves were guilty of this) but still get lots more feeling that a running shoe. Grip in the gym wasn't a problem, my workout was pretty stationary.
These shoes were out of stock for a long time but have been worth the price I paid for them. I look forward to my next workout in these shoes, they look good, feel good and most importantly are good for building my feet back up again after years of narrow cushioned running shoes.
Lane B.
Bought the Gummies for the wife. She absolutely loves the new feeling of engagement , she is a No Bull diehard. Her squat and deadlift have improved 70 per cent in form , surely the weight will follow. Her kettlebell routine has improved dramatically , adding another 2.5 kilo per exercise. I have 2 sets , powerlifter and PR's keep happening more frequently. The new sure grip and engagement also warn me of any potential or re-occurring lifting flaws. Awesome addition to the arsenal for power and form.
Lane
Anthony G.
They are perfect!! The quality seems to even improved as I found myself needing another pair after about a year of rough use. Had to guerrilla glue the soles of the last pair to make them last but everything else held up great.
