Great lifting shoes. Take half size bigger than normal.

They are perfect for lifting. I needed something to keep my feet on the ground and these make my balance much better. They are durable and don’t feel like they will tear easily. The only thing is they are true to size, so I wish I got the 11 instead of the 10.5 but that’s my fault.

Bought the gorgeous gummy high tops.. awesome shoes. Been using them for every lift I do. Can feel a lip under the heel where the sole and shoe meet, if you're feet are all the way back. Next to that, they're perfect .

I really like the wide mid foot and toe box, my feet don’t feel squished like other training shoes I’ve worn in the past, they feel great! Seems like I’m getting better results from the flat soles for my plantar fasciitis than the arch support docs recommend. I’ve been wearing them most of the day while at work and I feel it puts my foot in more of a static stretch and with continuous wearing I do believe my plantar fasciitis feels better than it has in years!

Really enjoyed squatting in these new shoes! A lot of grip and support with a wide stance!

After dropping weight to get into a new class, my squat form changed. So I switched from elevated to flat shoes. And it has made a world of difference. I feel more connected to the floor and can concentrate on foot placement, grilling with my toes and driving off my heels. I love bearfoor shoes!

I shared a review when I first received my shoes - my first impressions were they were great looking, well made, and initially very comfortable. My initial positive impressions were reinforced, and I can honestly say, this is the best pair of minimalist shoes I have ever worn in a decade! I started wearing minimalist shoes during my military career and fell in love, and really don't wear anything else unless I absolutely have to - and now I have found my "go-to" shoe for the foreseeable future. I literally wear these Ursus every day, except when it is wet out - I wear them for lifting, errands, work, travel - you name it, these shoes are the "HEAT"! I will be ordering more for sure, in multiple colors (though the Badlands are awesome looking). You made a great product - thank you - my next pair I will treat and see how they hold up in the rain/snow - I want to wear these all the time. Keep up the great work! RLTW!

My first pair were the maroon low tops that I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase from Kabuki to try them. They're they only pair of lifting shoes that don't hurt my feet. I tried 2 pair of Notorious Lifts and a pair of Vivobarefoot, but both hurt thr side of my weird shaped feet. My mom now has that maroon low tops, once my greys arrived. I love how they fit so much I decided to get a pair of the HT in black. They're not the most stylish shoes, but the comfort and function can't be beat, especially if you have a wide foot or a bone spur from wearing ski boots daily for a decade.

My son loved the shoe but unfortunately they were the wrong size. I've requested an exchange for a large size. Thank you!

This is my second pair of Ursus High Tops and I love them. My first pair was strictly for lifting. This is my walk around pair and it feels so natural. After wearing orthotics for years and worrying about soles having arches, it's amazing how there was no feeling of "transitioning over" to flat soled shoes. The wide toe box is the best thing ever. Very comfortable. Bearfoot's customer service is top notch too. Although there have been some supply chain challenges, as soon as they were in stock, it took only 2 days to arrive to my doorstep. Please restock the Krimson Kabuki collaboration!

I love these shoes! They helped with my knee pain. They helped improve my squat and deadlift. I want to get another pair for everyday walking and a pair for my husband.

Hands down the best training shoes. Look forward to purchasing more in the near future

Love the shoes, but it took 4 months to get them. Definitely great shoes though.

Amazing shoes, and they never disappoint! Unique, functional, comfortable, and stylish.

My husband said that these are great shoes to add to anyone's inventory. The one thing that he didn't expect is the smell? Is this normal? do these shoes always have a strong odor?

just get them! they are the bomb dot com

Shoes are amazing! They fit really good and look amazing.

I'm a personal trainer at GoodLife and these have made my dead lift so much easier! My contact and grip with floor is Amazing! GAME CHANGERS!! @frozen_barbell on Instagram

Best shoes ever and great customer service

Fit great, comfortable

Couldn’t be better. Simple as that.

Amazing

Personally I can't say I use these shoes because I bought them for my son. He has entered 2 power lifting competitions so far and has taken first place and he loves them. He also says most guys he trains with prefers them also.

Had to return it back because I was to big. But I really liked how they feel. A+

These shoes are so comfortable! Love the color! Nice fit, true fit

Incredible shoes!! Best feeling when squatting/deadlifting in shoes I’ve ever had.

Absolute game changer. I love these shoes. Up until I got these I was lifting without shoes on because I need to feel the ground in order to properly plant me feet. They are great for lifting and just wearing in general. They are perfect fit right off the bat. No need to break them in. They are really comfortable and I love the thin soles which make me feel more grounded when lifting compared to other shoes. I absolutely recommend these for everyone who is serious about lifting or just likes to be bare foot but can't when out and about.

Well worth the wait , great quality construction, superb traction , I won’t be without a pair again

Ordered size 11 and they fit perfectly. I love wearing them for deadlifts as they give me the best feeling of stability and being connected to the ground.

I've only worn them a couple times so far. There's a general feel to them that they might not be the best for regular/every day wear so I only wear them to the gym.

Super comfortable - great looking! Love them - totally worth the wait!

Out of the bag, to say I'm impressed is an understatement. The pictures don't do the shoes any justice where quality is concerned. The leather, soft as it is, is thick. While I'm sure heavy use will wear away at the whole of the things, I'm not worried about happening any time soon. As long as the tops and sides hold up, I'll re-sole these until they have worn away to nothing. A+. 10/10. Two thumbs up, or whatever.

I'm very satisfied with the shoes. The feeling of being more grounded and in control of my feet is exactly what I was expecting. Plus, there were complications with delivery, on the carrier side, and Bearfoot kept trying to help out through the whole process. I really appreciate the support they gave me. Great product, great customer support.

I love these shoes because they allow me to go all the way down during my squats and my pinky toe is not pinched and they don’t become numb after heavy loads of training. Seriously, an awesome shoe. I also don’t wear socks when I wear these shoes and the fabric doesn’t irritate my skin at all. 100/10

the best

Amazing shoes changed my squat

It took some time to Get the shoes but once I received them I love them. First time squatting in them and I am hooked.

Amazing shoes. Extremely functional and comfortable while maintaining a very minimal profile to encourage natural foot movement. Best shoes for lifting and casual wear. Will definitely be buying additional colors.

I used to use Wrestling shoes and I will never go back. I’ve used the shoes twice now and it was a fast decision on whether I liked them or not. I LOVE THEM. The amount of contact I feel on the floor and more ankle mobility I noticed is insane. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best shoes I've ever owned. They're so light and comfortable it feels like you're bearly wearing anything. The wide toe box it such a crucial feeture. I can't see myself buying another pair of nikes ever again. One thing though: if you're spending the money for these shoes you should do a little research on how to take care of suede shoes. I got a little kit on Amazon with cleaner, a brush, and water proofer for under 25 bucks and that's going to extend the life of these every day wears by a huge amount.

First time putting them on the left shoe had several eyelets pop out of place, which kind of sucks given they were brand new however I still think they’re 100% worth the price. Noticed an immediate difference in my starting position for my deads, definitely excited to see how they affect my training long term.

Great fit and so comfortable! I love wearing them!

Switched from romeleos to the barefoots and I absolutely love them!!

Bought a pair earlier this year - absolutely love them. Bought a second pair - never turned up, not Bearfoot's fault, but I've been watching the shipping tracker for weeks and they arrived in Australia, then they were returned to the US, but no update since end of August. Suggestion for Bearfoot, allow people the option of shipping with FedEx or DHL etc. USPS don't have a great track record, and in my case, once they arrive in Australia they are handed over to Australia Post - who have an even worse track record!

Very comfortable, I’ve only worn them a couple times but so far so good. Fingers crossed they will last.

I really like the high top shoes. The only down side is that the sole of the shoe is starting to peel off. It could be because of my lifting form but either way.

So far I am really enjoying these shoes. I am having to get used to the feeling of basically walking bare-foot. A bit weird the first few days, but I am getting used to it. Very comfortable, seem to be well made. Would recommend.

Good shoe bought a half size too small

They feel great

I've been squatting for several years, and it's always been my favorite exercise. After trying these bad boys out, I can safely say I'll never use another pair of shoes for as long as ya'll stay in business. Hopefully forever! I honestly couldn't believe how impactful it is to give your toes a natural spread. I felt incredibly grounded, and their extremely comfortable. I wish I would've made the transition sooner. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to make the most out of your physical development. Ya'll knocked the ball out of the park with these. Thanks!

Excellent product! Comfortable! 5 star

Hit PRs on my first week using these. I don't want to be bear foot in my local gym. So these feel great since I'm more rooted to the ground.

I’m a simple man: If I see Chris Duffin partner with and promote a product, I know it’s valuable. I call these the upgraded Chuck Taylors! An excellent product for those of us with hobbit feet

To wide, slow shipping

So far these shoes have been holding up well during my heavy lifting sessions in the gym(all while looking very fashionable) You get what you pay for, a shoe that is close to being bare foot all while remaining sturdy and comfortable.

Great pair of shoes. Quality is very good And the design is sleek and simplistic. Only complaint is that my ankles are kind of small and I wish the material connecting the laces up was smaller so I could tighten them a bit more with the laces towards the ankles.

These are replacing my tried and true vans hi top shoes. These fit like Cinderella’s slippers. As a geared lifter, it’s important for my feet to stay anchored under heavy squats (everyone one for that matter) but it more easily showed when I tried to spread the floor too hard and roll to the outside of my foot. Looking forward to pulling in them next week! So comfortable I’m considering the preorder of the casual show as well. Well done team barefoot.

These shoes are fantastic. Immediately noticed an improvement in my balance when I used these on squats and deadlifts. Grip is very good too which helps with leg drive on bench. Overall can't say enough about these shoes.

It took a couple of tries to get the right sizing, but with William's help, we did. After a year and a half of constant wear from daily, pt, & work, it was time for a new pair.

The best shoes I have ever worn in my life. I have very flat feet, which means weak foot musculature. I have a hard time sensing the ground . These shoes are helping me gain awareness of the ground , my toes , and using my foot musculature . You don’t need arch support or any of that nonsense , you need to learn to use your feet. This helps me tremendously and is an awesome training shoe and everyday shoe. The only one I will ever buy!

Great shoes! I’ve had amazing workouts & so much traction in these shoes to pull heavier weights!

The best ever for squats!

I love these shoes! Comfortable with a great grip and I can wear my correct toes with them.. They really enhance my barefoot journey.

Love these shoes. Will have to see how durable they are but so far 5 stars. Note on sizing-some of the reviews said buy small. I usually wear 14 sneakers, 13 military or work boots. Buy your normal sneaker size, the 13s are just a tad too small. Shoes are great though, minimal sole, big toe box, no heel drop, very comfy.

A month in to these shoes I had an issue with one of the eyelets on my first pair. I contacted customer service and they were very helpful, allowed me to return for a full refund, and I purchased a second pair. The only negative thing I have to say about these is that they’re hot. I think the next step is to offer a pair with some ventilation/perforation. The suede though is so damn cool. And the minimalist styling is perfect. I’m even throwing out my dress shoes because these will pass for use in clinic. The shoes have been somewhat life changing for me as my feet have definitely gotten stronger. There has also been visual changes to my feet, they just look more colorful, like they are getting way more blood flow. I thought my feet were solid even before these shoes because I was squatting barefoot already, but I was wrong! They also don’t get nearly as sore as they used to. I used to to use a lacrosse ball on my feet everyday to relieve soreness but now that’s completely gone. My arches have also improved dramatically. I will say that for a while my feet were very sore after training in the shoes and also using them outside of the gym. For a month those first few steps in the morning getting out of bed were quite tender. That’s gone now. I have fins for feet and these are the only pair of shoes where my feet actually have room to splay. I now recommend these shoes to all my clients that I train, and even got my girlfriend a pair. I paired these with correct toes as well. They’re not quite wide enough to fit my foot plus the correct toes though. These shoes also feel best with toe socks, and I think you get way more out of them that way. The bearfoot socks are a little beefy and pricey, but I got some injinji socks and they are perfect. In short, get these shoes and you will for sure see changes in your feet. Then level up further by using toe socks and correct toes. Also, don’t just use them in the gym. I think the real magic happens when you start to implement them outside of the gym as well. If you can’t squat barefoot in your training facility use these shoes, if you can squat barefoot, do that and use these shoes for everything else. Keep your cushy running shoes around for when you want to take a break and go easy on the feet, especially in the beginning.

Simply the best. Love the look and the gen 2s are much more durable. I use them for all 3 big lifts. Becoming very popular to see on feet on meet day!

I have been debating getting a pair for a long time and I’m so glad I finally did. I have always lifted high top Converse, but the Ursus beats them in every way imaginable. The stability and rooting capability of the Ursus is unmatched. I thought these would be an uncomfortable shoe to wear outside of training but I’m debating getting a second pair for casual wear at this point. I am impressed to say the least and will keep coming back for this level of quality.

Love them as much as my cat loves red dots 10/10

Hey bearfootshoes fam! I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been waiting for these shoes and have been anxious to see if I would like them or not…The verdict?! I freakin am in love with these shoes. These are the most comfortable lifting shoes, work out shoes, casual shoes, and minimalist shoe I have ever worn. Thank you for putting so much detail and thought into the materials, the sizing, the shaping, and just overall I’m grateful that I bought these shoes. Especially since red is my favorite color.

Absolutely changed my deadlift game. I feel securely grounded to the floor and ready to rip each rep. Can’t wait to get a pair of low-tops next! The high-tops provide added ankle stability!

I love how these shoes fit. I have used them for squats and deadlift but decided to make them my everyday gym shoes because they are so comfortable. Only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because I’ve had these shoes for 3 days now and as u can see in the picture the little metal piece where they laces go though popped out. This happened on both shoes in different spots. It’s not a big issue but it’s unfortunate because I haven't even had them for a week. It does make me question the durability and longevity how this shoe.

Awesome fit and customer service.

Awesome! 10/10

Love it!

Best shoes I’ve tried for deadlift. Had slight damage when they arrived. They immediately responded with a shipping label and I had a new pair in a couple days. Good company. Good shoes.

Perfect for leg day

Wear a size 8 women’s. Ordered a size 6 in the high tops. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable

They're perfect! I should've gotten 11's instead of 10.5's but that's my mistake for thinking my feet are smaller than they are. I wear them everyday to workout and they're phenomenal.

I’ve loved both squatting and deadlifting in my Bearfoot shoes. They are the first I’ve had that allow my toes to spread out and really feel the floor. They’re a definite game changer.

The next best thing than deadlifting barefoot!! I have no complaints about these shoes worth the money; get you a pair!!

One of the lace hole brackets came out first try. Made in Mexico

The shoes fit to size. Shoes have excellent traction and are very flat

Love them! They’re so comfortable and allow for toe splay. The only downside is my feet roll over the edges for sumo pulling. I wear these badboys everywhere. I bought my gf a pair also. Cheapest barefoot style shoe on the market.

Most comfortable deadlift shoes I’ve used. High quality product. Don’t buy anything else!!

Love these shoes. As soon as I stepped into them and started squatting, I was overcome with a surge of power and 300lbs felt like nothing. Ok on a serious note, these are really comfortable and they are my go to when I need to where shoes. Highly recommend

I'm giving the company 5 stars, but the pre-order Gummy Bear shoes a 1 star. I was really disappointed in the shoe after waiting so many months for this pre-order. Originally the colors of the shoe were represented as a vibrant teal and lilac - here in this photo you can see that the colors are now bubble gum pink and baby blue. It felt far too much like a I was wearing a baby bootie. To the companies credit, they were very upfront about the longer than expected manufacturing time, and they offered to refund my money. I can't speak to the feeling and wear of the shoe itself as I chose not to put it on so I could return. I still believe in the company and the product they are putting out- I just think that this pre-order was a miss.

First and foremost, I’m Very happy I understand that I’m nitpicking because I’m very satisfied with the product. I will be ordering more in just about whatever color they come up with The color, while dope, it wasn’t what I was expecting. So I was slightly disappointed. These are the first minimalist shoes I’ve worn so I’ll need some time to adjust. Ordered 10.5 but I need to order them a 1/2 size bigger to address some slight discomfort. Can’t wait to get another pair.

So comfortable and great quality! These shoes are well worth it and I’ll definitely need another pair!

Hands down, the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. And I like them so Much I didn’t even want to lift in them. I did - and I’ve never been able to root this effectively before. 11 out of 10 would recommend!

These are offensively comfortable. I’m barefoot most of the time at home and there isn’t much of a difference when I put these on.

I’ve been looking for minimalist footwear for awhile. My son turned me onto these. They fit real nice.

I like the feel of the suede upper and I feel rooted to the ground when tried them on. Unfortunately, they were a half size too small so I had to exchange them for another pair which are on backorder. I can’t wait to try them out in the gym!

11.5s pictured here Love them! Fit is comfortable and roomy for toes! Have to size the 1/2 size up from normal(I normally wear a size 11)! I also own a pair of lt ursus, v1 and v2 trainers(also work nicely inside the shoes themselves). Glad to see another minimalist shoe maker who cares about foot function over purely aesthetic design!

My husband loves his shoes. They are super comfortable and look amazing on him. Can't wait to get my gummy bears so I can see what all the fuss is about ❤

Kick ass feels amazing and the grip is perfect and I would buy it again

I've been wearing these for over a month now, and these are the BEST most COMFY lifting shoes I've ever tried. I wear them for all my lifts, rooting has been much better and overall feels like I'm walking on clouds!! Highly recommend

These shoes are perfect for lifting. It feels like I don’t have anything on at all!

If you were like me and debated on buying a pair for a long time, just do it. You won’t regret it. Best shoes I’ve bought in a long time

I wish there was more guidance/description on the sizing chart. It would be nice to know if you should focus more on the length of where your foot lands on the chart (like placing the back of your heel at the very back) vs. how the width of your foot fits on the chart. If I had focused on the length and trusted that the toe box would be sufficient, I probably would have purchased a size smaller and likely been even more satisfied.
