Great for jogging and intervals. I live in SW USA California. Only cons are really that these are not the best for ground that is hard, asphalt, and/or rough surfaces, and thorns or slick things. But that's normal with pretty much all shoes. (It's not really good to run on those things anyways for your knees or safety when going minimalist it can be risky or dangerous).Pros are: for me it worked beautifully in grass and good dirt and softer surfaces like sand and I even climbed to the summit of a sub 9,000 ft mountain in them at one point. These shoes are really nice and flexible, grip regular/dry/textures large rocks/boulders well like when you hike up a steep trail and step on some rocks or on rough boulders, and they're just good in many ways in nature. I've also ran accidentally on rocky ground littered with small rocks and it is wasn't super painful it can make some bruises but there was no penetration of the rubber and these really save your feet from a bad day. So far all that I've found that punctures them are needles from desert flowers i accidentally ran over once hanging over a fence that instantly punctured my foot. Haven't encountered glass yet but i think it would survive. Aside from that I've done very fast running on these with intervals locally. I used to be a middle distancer. I could sprint decently. Interestingly enough these can hold up decently with that and it felt good striding or sprinting until they got worn then that felt harder and less comfortable as is normal. They also have a very small gap between each toe and the end of the sleeve the toe is in. It helps for running and walking and space to not crush the foot.Some neutral advice/comments: this terrain here is some of the most difficult as well due to the heat. I've used these in very hot temperatures too and they've held up well. Some seams tore due to me being too rough pulling them on. If they get wet they'll take a day or two to dry maybe so try to avoid puddles or water you will have soggy socks.Final notes: They're airy, fun, light, and very minimalist. I loved them. They lasted 11 months of my torture, with perhaps 3x a week intense/abusive training in them. They probably have about 400 miles on them and I'm replacing them cause this terrain is crazy but I'm sure with better surface they'd last way longer. I basically ground them to nothing. They're smooth enough in some places to see my foot pronation 😂 which is a sign it's time for another pair.Hope this helps whoever is debating!

Super minimalist footwear. Feel like you are barefoot when “shoes” are required.

Die Schuhe hatten mich gereitzt, jetzt schicke ich diese zurück, da die Farbe nach 14 Tagen von Grün zu Gelb geworden ist. Völlig ausgebleicht, sieht dieser Schuh unansehnlich aus. Ich brauche ewig lange, bis ich die Schuhe am Fuß habe, da die Zehen am Schuh viel zu groß sind. Hat man einen etwas krummen Zeh, kann man das Anziehen komplett vergessen. Der Preis ist viel zu hoch für diesen Schuh ohne Tragekomfort. Sicherlich würde er nach einem Monat komplett untragbar sein, da alles geleimt ist und der Schuh bei wenig Belastung bereits dabei ist sich aufzulösen. Warum dies schlechte Qualität bei einem so hohen Preis ? Der Schuh erinnert mich an einen Hallen Schuh zum Turnen, jedoch nicht an einen Straßentauglichen Schuh. Ich gebe ihn zurück. Der Verkäufer ist human, kann nichts dafür, hoffe das er ihn aus seinem Sortiment rausnimmt.

War erst skeptisch dann hab ich mich verliebt. Aber nach nichtmal 1 Jahr, begann der kleber nachzulassen und nun sind sie nicht mehr tragbar. Preis Leistung ungenügend

This is my third pair of the five fingers line up and this by far my favorite. They fit great, your feet do not slip around while walking or running. Downside is your pinky toes are in serious danger of getting stubbed if you're clumsy like me.
