JoomraWomen's Trail Running Barefoot Shoes | Wide Toe Box Minimalist Sneakers | Zero Drop

At first, as a Sketchers Arch Support wearer, they were difficult to get used to. I am 75 and have a pronated right foot and weak arches. I thought I'd made a mistake buying them but have discovered that wearing totally supported shoes have emprisioned my feet and made them weaker. The Joomra shoes have a wide enough toe area to wear silicone toe separators!!!! I am thrilled! My left foot toes are crimped and now I can comfortably wear toes separators without pain or sandals. The foot bed now feels to be gently massaging my foot when I walk. Am taking them to Europe with me, but will not use them for long walks on hard pavement because they do not have enough support for me. I use them now around the house and garden, working out, and shopping....Update August 1, 2024: Have been wearing them in Portugal practically every day. I've added an additional insole underneath the one that came with the Joomras which has made them so much more comfortable. I can now go on long walks without getting tired feet. One thing I've noticed is that my feet are a lot less tense because my toes can spread out now. The hammer toes on my left foot have even started to relax and flatten more.I also like hat I don't have to lace up the shoes and can just slip them on and then don't even have to pull the tightening chord to wear them comfortably. They also do not slip on the shiny, worn cobblestones here.... They stay cool, wear well in beach sand, and are easy to clean. I would definitely buy them again.Please note: I am NOT a paid reviewer...I am continuing to update this review because I think it might help others with problem feet.Update Sept. 30, 2024: Just machine washed my Joomras in hot water on a 2 1/2 hr. cycle. They came out looking and smelling great. I wear them every day b/c they are so comfortable. I especially like that they are easy to put on and tighten without having to tie shoelaces. Unfortunately, one of the pull on loops at the heel broke and I will have to sew it back on as it is hanging there. This is not a game changer....Update: Oct 18, 2024: Washed my Joomras a second time and they still look like they just came out of thethe box. I wear them every day now. They remind me of the padded moccasins I loved wearing 60 years ago!Update Oct. 24, 2024; you probably think I'm crazy to keep updating my review...but I just love these Joomra's so much I want to let everyone know my experience over time. I FORGOT TO NOTE THAT THE JOOMRAS ACTUALLY MAKE MY SIZE 11 N-M FEET LOOK SMALL AND TRENDY. Really, I'm 5'9" tall and 160lbs ...was worried that the size 11 would make my feet look big...like so many shoes I've worn. I have "Greek toes" (Big toe longest sloping to a tiny piinky). So nice and roomy even with socks! My feet really relax in them and I feel so grounded!I have read some of the negative reviews, and would agree that they are not the best for running...but walking on a firm surface is great. The extra insole I added underneath the one that came with them have made them super comfortable. They are certainly not like water shoes....they are much more supportive and not floppy or slippy at all....they also do not leak. They are not cheap material...I've washed them 2x now on long cycles with very hot water and they still are holding up fine.If I were back in the states I would definitely buy another pair because they are on sale now!December 18, 2024 update: I'm back in the US. There's snow and ice outside my house in the Catskill woods but I am still wearing my Joomras around the house to keep my feet warm. I have to say that they are vastly more comfortable and durable than my too quickly worn out LL Bean sheepskin lined mocs...that are now threadbare and flat as pancakes. The Joomras are still almost like new. The only thing I am not happy with (as mentioned above) is the pull loop at the heel broke on both...but I did pull too hard I guess...On a final note....I met a woman in Lisbon who told me that the reason she moved to Malaga Spain rather than Portugal is because she had a friend who slipped on the ubiquitous polished pavers and she was terrified of same. I used to slip on them too until I got my Joomras; but I don't have to worry about that anymore or slipping anywhere in the house (I'm 76 now).Am thinking now of wearing them to my gym work out....Update: April 1, 2025Joomras are definitely for warm days only....because they are incredibly well ventilated. I have tried to wear them as slippers around my cabin this winter (30-50 degrees F.)..but my feet freeze (in all fairness I have Hashimotos). I can put wool socks on but there is really no space for my toes then. Am thinking of buying my next pair a size larger...but that would land me in a size 12...which might make me look like bozo....Wish they came in half sizes....P.S. They work really well at the gym!Ordered new Joomras in size 11-11.5.(43)..didn't realize my beloved greys only come 10.5-11. I was sent a black pair which are completely different from the pair I've been wearing. The size 43 does not have the lovely breathable crochet material, have a stiff velcro closure which is awkward to use, and a stretchy pull lace They fit ok but they are ugly---don't buy the Black 43!In the attached picture you can see my old ones on the left and the new black ones on the right. Notice how the old ones have held up.Update May 19th. Just got my new Joomras for the summer. Love the color! The old Joomras have expanded a bit but are still terrific and look almost new even though I've worn themb all last Summer and Fall and now in the Spring.A note of caution--don't buy the Joomras with the Velcro strap closing. It is badly designed. The pull cord works really well.Update July 25, 2025. Along with the new dark camel Joomras I'm taking the old Joomras to Portugal this summer because I like the color so much. Got an insert with an arch support. Notice the cloth on the sole interior is worn away from wearing them so much. Treads still like new.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I read some good reviews for the comfort of these shoes, so I thought I'd try a pair since they were on sale. I have not been disappointed so far! I'm a dog walker, so I put in a lot of miles on my feet every week. I put these on and went out walking right away. They are VERY comfortable for a "minimal" shoe and required no break-in before they felt great on my feet. They have great (grippy) soles and a nicely padded insole with light arch support. The fit was perfect, and the toe box is so roomy that they are great for walking. I encounter a variety of surfaces from pavement, sidewalks, grass and gravel trails and these shoes are comfortable on all of them. I like the quick-tie slider and the little Velcro tab that holds the end of the laces. This specific feature was highly recommended in a review, so I made sure to order the one with this style of lace closure. Other colors have a different strap that goes across the top. I will test these out a bit more and probably order another pair in a different color.

I have bunions, making finding comfortable shoes tedious. My foot is wide at the top and a narrow-normal width in the ankle area. These shoes offer plenty of space to accommodate my bunions and the re-adjustable bands (no loose shoelaces!) with a locking device to keep in place and Velcro bands across the top allow for a perfect, personalized fit. I can wear these shoes all day while enjoying a variety of outdoor activities without pain. The shoe is well made and has a very nice tread that has a great grip. True to size. I chose the black design. I do wish the sole of the shoe was a different color as it is very pronounced. With that being said, There are different color and design choices to choose from and ones that the sole blends in more with the color of the shoe. I would definitely buy these shoes again.

I was really impressed with this shoe. I think for the price compared to the “top” brands this is a great product. The tread was thicker than I expected and it works great for running my trail. I don’t have any issues going through the rough gravel. I love that i can just slip into these and they are breathable for those hotter days. I wear a size 7 in other brands so decided to go with the 6.5-7 size which is a 37 and the fit is spot on!

These shoes are wonderful! They make my feet feel like I'm walking barefoot, which was my goal. When I walk barefoot I get harder callouses and skin dryness. I also am prone to plantar fasciitis and it is relieved by walking barefoot, even disappears! I'm really excited to use these especially in the house. They give great traction. I am 70 and have had a few falls. These shoes are very stable, wider where I need them to be. The size was right on, exactly fitting. They are very easy to put on, and the Velcro is fast and easy to use. I love that I can stretch my toes out! This, I think is important to all seniors especially those that have toe problems.

Purchased for our road trip and used them for hikes in Arches, Bryce Canyon, Zion and Grand Canyon and shocked at how great they were! Comfortable, cute and had better traction then my tennis shoes. Didn't want to spend a ton of money because I knew the sand would stain them - turns out just a soak in oxiclean did the trick to clean them up! Normally wear 9-9.5, size 10 fit me perfectly. Highly recommend for short-term use (maybe long-term but not sure yet!)
