WeweyaWeweya Barefoot Shoes for Women Minimalist Running Cross Training Shoe

I ordered 5 different types of barefoot minimalist sneakers, including these, to see if any might be of benefit to my severe joint and back pain from a chronic illness I've had for 20 years. I have very finicky feet which don't like being tightly squished into anything, even compression socks are unbearable. These were the first pair I tried, and they're the only pair that actually gave me the support I needed while being comfortably roomy and as flexible as a dance shoe. I was a dancer for 35 years (my chronic health condition took me off the dance floor), and love a good dance shoe.. (*thank you Capezio*). Every other pair I tried were also flexible, but I could literally feel everything I was stepping on, there was zero support, and worst of all, I felt every single step in my back and joints. I don't go totally barefoot,or walk around in sock feet because it hurts. These shoes are barefoot minimalist, and let you feel the surface you're walking on without actually feeling any razor sharp gravel in your nerve endings. I tried walking outside to my car in another pair, and ended up having to tip toe back into the house quickly. These however... I've literally been living in these shoes for the past 3 days. I bought another pair in a different color.. and the only thing I'm apprehensive about, is what that color will actually look like when it gets here. The ones I've just ordered (and am currently wearing) are black... and it's kinda hard to screw that color up too much. Seriously though.. if you suffer from a chronic pain condition (esp if you've had it for years.. I've suffered from mine for over 20 years and I just turned 41) which causes mid to lower back pain, joint pain (hips and knees esp), can't tolerate tight shoes or walking around with little to no support... This is your shoe!!!

Overall I liked the shoe. Not exactly fashionable, but it's roomy, fits well, and definitely a zero-drop. I've used it heavily within the last month and a half. The only issue is that after about a mile and a half, the outer edges of my feet start hurting. I'm guessing it's because the bottom of the shoe is slightly curved and it just doesn't jive with the way I walk. So, good shoe but may not be for everyone's foot type.

Comfortable shoes for working out! Absolutely love them!

Very comfortable. Love it for short work outs. Not good for long walks on pavement. I wish it had wide sizes for us who have naturally wide feet to begin with. Probally why it is not comfortable on long walks. But it is my go to shoe for working out at the gym.

My daughter is small-average for ever age. We have never had an issue with shoes being too narrow until we got these. She said they were very tight. Overall they were cute shoes but for the price I thought they should be more substantial. These had a cheap look and upon seeing them I had to double check my order as they looked like they should have cost about 1/2 of what we paid.Can't speak to longevity as we returned these since they seemed too narrow anyway
