This is my first barefoot shoe i have purchased for my infant class. I have to be on foot most of the time. I am hopeful this shoe shall be helpful. At the moment it is very soft and comfortable.
This is my second pair of the oso and I love them just as much as I love the first. They are built really well and I’ve found wearing them as just a normal everyday shoe is what they have become for me more than the gym shoe. I also really like how the color patinas and changes over time. Won’t be my last pair.
These are nice to look at and easy to wear. They do run large when you’re wearing them barefoot so beware. These felt quality and feel on them is what I expect from Bearfoot. Really happy with the color and feel on these.
I don't have mobility issues so I can't speak to the experience of that but I think this is probably a great shoe for people who can't tie laces, for example. I don't know if the other people who shared photos have worn them for a while but they don't look as wide in person even though they fit great.
Bearfoot Shoes have never let me down. I have 4 pairs currently, but my favorites have to be the Oso's. They're unbelievably comfortable and are easy to step in and out of. They've lasted 3 years with minimal damage!
I had to buy myself a new pair because my niece stole my old ones! She had a an awful time with poor ankle flexibility and it was causing her feet to hurt. Fast forward to her snagging my Osos and she felt like a new person. And obviously I was missing my pair so I’m so happy to have some new ones in my closet.
I have gone barefoot most of my life or worn flip flops. These shoes are the best thing I’ve ever experienced. I’m on my third pair and hope they continue making them.
My first pair From Bearfoot and I used the size chart and unfortunately it didn’t work out, I contacted the chat and said give it a chance for break that didn’t help either still crazy tight emailed customer service and exchanged for the proper size that are backordered. Long story short the quality that was sent and the customer service has led me to purchasing the Ursus and Bruin. I can’t wait for the Oso to come back in it was super easy on off and crazy comfortable except for being tight at the toes. I would recommend to anyone.
Perfect slip on shoes. The suede leather is so soft and comfortable. They will get lots of wear all year long. They look like my good ol’ moccasins. I think they will look sharp with jeans in cooler temps and good with shorts in warmer temps. Wasn’t sure about the light brown suede at first but I am loving them more every day.
Read that finding the right fit can be tricky before purchasing, I went up half a size with everything Gen1. These are closer to my true shoe size at 13. Might've actually liked slip-ons sooner if they all fit like these.
Impressed enough that I also bought a pair for family and am leaving a review.
I've been wearing Vivos for years. Love em, but wanted to try something else. I really like the simplicity of these shoes. They are very well made and look great. Highly recommend.
The Badland Oso slip-ons are incredible. The mestizo leather/fabric interior is so soft and comfortable that I rarely wear them with socks.
I’m simply in love with the way they look and feel. They keep my feet from getting cold but they also don’t make them sweat, which is perfect for wearing around the house and I’ve actually fallen asleep while wearing them.
They are not very tall in the toe box because of how they’re constructed, so take that into consideration for sizing depending on how you plan to use them. I went a half-size up and I’m happy with the extra wiggle room as a house-shoe.
I've been barefoot for quite a few years now...... have a pair of AR670-1 compliant barefoot boots, vivobarefoot, xero shoes, skinners...... I've been around the block. The Oso slip on's are exceptional relaxed wear barefoot shoes, that i now regularly wear just about everywhere from work to around the house. Definitely recommend!
While these shoes are great for the average user. I wish they had more shoe types because barefoot does not do well on different types of turfs. They suck when trying to push a slid for example. Other than that, they are great walking shoes.
bought them for my father who has had hip and back surgery. He says its the best shoe he has ever used after his operations. Keeps him stable while walking.
Very comfortable and works well both at the gym and office. They are wide enough to be comfy at the airport and not so much cushion you can use them to deadlift
I liked them, I feel like I’m wearing sleepers to the gym, they looked like it! And maybe they are a little large for me, every time I do lunges they come out a little, but other than that they are stable when I lift! I will definitely get another pair.
These shoes are my second purchase from bearfoot and I love them just as much. While it takes a few days to get adjusted to wearing them all the time i really don’t think I could go back to my previous slip on shoes. 10/10 recommend!
