Was skeptical about these types of shoes but didn’t wanna risk buying cheap ones on Amazon. Most barefoot shoes look lame too. I have a few friends that wear Bearfoot shoes. So, i took the leap and i am fully satisfied after a couple weeks of wearing them to work and gym. Worth every penny.

MINIMALIST FOOTWEAR,
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
The Ursus CHTG2 by Bearfoot is a minimalist barefoot shoe crafted for those who demand both versatility and performance. Perfect for strength training, whether it’s powerlifting, strongman, or CrossFit, it seamlessly transitions from the gym to everyday life as a comfortable, casual shoe thanks to its classic, timeless high-top look. Featuring a flexible, zero-drop sole and a wide toe box, the Ursus allows for natural foot movement, optimal toe splay, and superior ground feel, helping you build strength, stability, and balance whether you’re lifting heavy, tackling dynamic workouts, or just going about your day. Crafted from lightweight canvas that lets your feet breathe, this shoe offers minimal cushioning for maximum sensory feedback and is built with an extra-wide width to accommodate all foot shapes. The Gen 2 is built with a slightly thicker, more robust outsole featuring a raised perimeter wall for enhanced durability and to help prevent slipping during dynamic movements. The Gen 2 also offers stitch-down construction, which further increases longevity compared to the cemented soles found in the Gen 1.
Peer-reviewed studies show that consistent use of minimalist footwear is associated with significant improvements in foot strength and intrinsic muscle development compared to conventional shoes.*

Love the shoes but need a bigger size
Man it takes forever to get the shoes but i like them so far
Great shoes
Love them so far, though It's only been a week. They fit really well and are comfortable. They feel good in the gym. Also wearing them casually.
Mighty Ducks Colored, hell yeah. These are extremely comfortable and the fit is great. Only problem is that they’re pretty tough to put on and take off at first. If I get another pair of high tops, I’ll probably take them to a cobbler for stretching first.
I really enjoy t he fact that these are bearfoot shoes that don't look barefoot. The hardest part of finding a good shoe is one that's comfy but also looks good, this one does both.
Order came in quick I enjoy the shoes at the gym and In daily use
I've only had them for about 2 weeks, but love them. 1st x buying the canvas, gen 2, but absolutely am pleased. Turn around time sucks, no doubt, but the shoes are great! My past experience with the suede gen 1 was the soles would peel off. I'm hoping that doesn't happen with these.
Great shoe and the best barefoot shoe I’ve tried but still wish they were even wider for my gigantic foot.
Great shoes
The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn... PERIOD
My favorite shoes of all time.
Love the wide toe box! My foot feels natural and not confined like other shoes. The muscles in my feet feel relaxed and not cramped. I use these shoes for strength training and my feet are important to that. If they hurt or are cramping then the session is difficult. These shoes have changed that.
These are my first bear foot shoes. My two feet are different sizes and my arches are different. For the first time in my life, My feet feel normal. I i love these so much.
Poor customer service. I bought these as a gift for Christmas, and they have just arrived. When I asked for an update on delivery, I received a rude email saying there obviously was going to be a delay on back ordered items. Nowhere on the website did it say the shoe was out of stock or on back order. When I pointed this out in a return email, I received a slightly better worded email explaining where my order was, but no apology. Not sure I’d order from them again, but the product itself is good. 🤷♀️
Store owner replied: We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with our customer service regarding your order for the Ursus CHTG2 - Arctic White. We understand how frustrating it must have been to encounter unexpected delays and unclear communication about backordered items, especially when purchasing a gift. This is certainly not the standard we aim for, and we are actively reviewing our internal processes and communication to ensure a clearer and more supportive experience for all our customers. Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
Unique and different wrapped up together as one. Don’t knock it until you try them! Comfort for gym workouts 9/10
Wonderful gift, our son loves them! Thank you for expediting shipping as they arrived in time for Christmas.
They're super comfy and feel very sturdy on the ground with no slip at all.
my everyday shoe. Noticing a more stable foot. Better walking patterns. Great product
I’ve bought 3 pairs of Bearfoot shoes. All great. I’ll never go back to a narrow toe box. I switched to a wide toe box with a zero drop after getting a hallux limitus diagnosis on my big toe. Every pair of Bearfoot shoe I’ve worn took away the pain and helped me rehabilitate my foot mechanics. Big thank you and I’ll be a repeat customer.
These shoes kick ass! I didn’t want to leave a review until I had put them through their paces. I’ve worn them daily for about 6 months now and other than being dirty, they look like they have been lightly worn. I wear these everywhere, working out, hiking… they are rugged, I’ve put miles hiking in the mountains with them. I really didn’t expect them to hold up at all. The quality is top notch. I’ve had a lot of minimalist/barefoot style shoes through the years and they all fell apart fast. I have back, ankle and knee issues from injuries and normal shoes and boots aggravate the hell out of them. These shoes, for me, make a huge difference in the pain in those areas while walking if that makes sense. I don’t usually leave reviews unless I am very impressed with the product and company. I had initially wanted a barefoot style boot but didn’t want to spend that much on the bruins without knowing the quality. I’ve treated the Ursus like a hiking boot, gym shoe etc. and it has way outperformed the expectations I had. I hope this review helps someone on the fence with getting some Bearfoot’s. I’ll be ordering the bruins, will kick the shit out of them and leave a review after a few months.
Great quality from the USA!
Very comfortable and lightweight!
Great shoes but I have a couple suggestions. First, the soles should be a harder rubber, I get that its important to feel the ground but the rubber feels like its going to wear out really fast. Second, I have a pair of bruin boots from Bearfoot and I love them. These are narrower in the toebox in the bruins and I don’t really see the reason for that. These should be just as wide as trhe bruins.
I really like how the White on white looks!!
I’ve been wearing these shoes for a couple of months now for lifting and everyday use. They are great for hikes and dog walks, as well as any big lift where you need your foot to function and root into the ground for a solid base. Absolutely love these! I also got the OtterWax canvas kit to give these a waterproof treatment. The waxed canvas is definitely a plus
I really love the changes made from the gen 1 to the gen 2
Great pair of shoes, use them for powerlifting. Great stability and no issues with training. Unfortunately, I've worn them 5 times since I received them and the soles started to delaminate, primarily static movements during training. Will follow delamination guide on the website but was hoping to get more than 2 weeks out of them before this was a problem. Size 15 might just be prone to it. Update: The amazing team have reached out and offered further support. Can't fault the customer service in the slightest. I'll definitely be purchasing more products in the future. Delam issue super simple fix and the team will help you with the process.
My powerlifting coach recommended these to me and I gotta say, it’s the best investment I could have pursued! Hit a PR on squats first day having them on!
I purchased the Ursus Chtg2 These shoes fit well for wide feet .
Shoe fits well even for it being to big, anyone trying to get a pair definitely half a size down depending on how your foot is shaped,besides that they're comfy and sturdy for what ive used them for. Definitely recommend this brand!
Great shoe! Unlike any other squat shoe I have purchased in the past with the wide toe range and tight tops it is highly recommended
Really great quality a fit out of the box. They feel great on feet. Looking forward to putting them to work and seeing how they hold up
This is my second pair of Bearfoot shoes. I have owned the black suede low top gen 1s for a few years. While I like those, I really love the updated sole on these canvas gen 2s. I feel supported yet still close to the ground with a wide toebox. Definitely happy with these!
This past weekend, I had the chance to try out the @bearfootshoes URSUS CHTG2—the latest evolution of the squat shoes I’ve trusted for the past two years. This new model brings a big upgrade in both durability and comfort. From the moment I put them on, they felt like a perfect fit—snug but comfortable, like I’d been wearing them for years. The updated sole feels softer underfoot while still delivering the barefoot feel that makes these shoes stand out.
My rating is 4 stars because of the customer service otherwise it would be 5. The shoe itself is great, comfortable, wide which helps for great lifting at the gym. I like how it looks and fits. The customer service could be better when it comes to exchanges. The first pair I purchased was slightly to small, so I reached out for a bigger size to get an exchange, for some reason I had to pay another $29 and some cents after I received partial store credit and picked the new slightly bigger size. If you wear a size 8 in women's order a 40 in their size so you don't have to do through the same thing.
Store owner replied: It's wonderful to hear how much you appreciate the Ursus CHTG2 - Arctic White for its comfort, fit, and performance during your workouts. We are truly sorry to learn about the challenges you faced with our exchange process and the unexpected cost involved; that is certainly not the seamless experience we aim for. Your feedback on the exchange procedure is very important to us, and we are always looking for ways to improve our customer journey. Please feel free to connect with our support team if you wish to discuss your experience further. Thanks again for your valuable insights and for being a Bearfoot customer. We hope to welcome you back soon for a smoother experience.
These are very comfortable and flexible, and I like the look. The sole wore through under my toe after only a few months and they were a little too small (I wear an 11.5 men's and if I bought another pair I would order a size 12) but other than that they are great shoes.
Good shoes overall, should’ve gone a half size up. I will say the soles ate not the hardest rubber so they wear out way faster than I would like. honestly I feel like buying the lighter boots (ursidae?) would be a better choice since they’re resoleable.
Store owner replied: We appreciate you sharing your experience with the Ursus CHTG2 and are glad to hear they are good shoes overall. We understand your comments about the sizing, suggesting a half-size up would have been preferable, and also note your feedback regarding the sole's wear rate. Your comparison to the resoleable Ursidae boots is valuable for our ongoing product development. Your detailed observations are truly helpful as we consistently aim to enhance the quality and design of all our footwear for the Bearfoot community. Thanks again for your review; we hope your Bearfoot adventures continue!
Overall, I am very happy with the product. I love the quality, fit and comfort. The only thing I would wish to improve slightly, is the flexibility of the sole. It tends to feel a little rigid and tends to slap the ground a little. Perhaps, it will loosen up after a decent break in period. This gen 2 is a good improvement that will add function and durability. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good canvas shoe.
