JoomraWomens Mens Minimalist Barefoot Sock Shoes | Zero Drop | ECO Vegan | Multi-Purpose & Ultra-Portable Water Footwear

I travel a lot and on occasion like to visit the gym in the hotel, but tennis shoes are to bulky to pack in my carryon luggage. VOILA!This sock/ shoe is an awesome invention just for this occasion!Pros:1. Well made and durable2. Fit to size / excellent snugness and comfort3. Cushiony and pleasant to walk inIt's not necessary, but I added some inserts to provide additional arch support, and I'm very satisfied!Cons:None

Cool, versatile footwear! I originally purchased these for indoor at-home workouts, after a trainer suggested that strength training barefoot is ideal (but didn't want to quite go completely barefoot). Since then, I've found them to be a useful slipper to wear around the house that also allows me to go out for the mail, etc., without having to put my shoes on. The upper isn't insulated, so it's not very warm, but that's ideal for my use. Overall, nice buy.

Update: I did go purchase from the. Company logo on the bottom of these: WHITIN. I found the quality was not on par with these as the rubber has defects that are noticeable. However I am keeping them and returning these. Why? They are easier to put on, though I purchased the exact same size, the WHITIN’S run a tad bit larger, making them easier to put on, and they aren’t so tight they are uncomfortable. So WHITIN. Wins. I’m sure they don’t care because they are obviously the same company selling under another name. These, the Joomra, however just look a bit better. I will take wearing comfort over a few flaws in the rubber. I would guess my women’s 8 in WHITIN are closer to 8.5..Original review:I bought a size 7 women’s. They are really great feeling, the way they “hug” your foot, however they were too short. I returned & re-purchased an 8 women’s, this is where things got wonky. This pair (the 8) has some glue balls rolling around under the ball of my foot, like sand paper, it’s extremely irritating. I found I could barely get my foot through the opening, my ankles are only 9 inches and they were so tight, they hurt the front of my foot where it bends. I have yet another pair on order from the name on the bottom these, WHITIN. I must assume it’s the same company, different name, perhaps I will hit on the perfect pair. I don’t know. These are going back, after I receive the next pair. So hoping these will fit, the length on these 8’s are perfect. I have wide feet, I’m not a barefoot runner, or walker, but I have lived barefoot most of the pandemic. These are so comfy. I bought them for slippers, but ran outside in the snow briefly for a photo shoot. They are super grippy. I can’t wait to try them with my recumbent trike. They make your feet sweat. But the one that didn’t have glue balls rolling around in it was smooth and very comfortable. These are so inexpensive, I may buy at least two pair, so while one is being washed I can wear another. I do have other barefoot shoes, but none are as comfortable as these.

Fit good and is actually comfortable

On their own, these are pretty nice. They're larger than I was expecting, but they still fit well and work well. I've seen complaints about the uppers tearing too soon, so I hope that doesn't happen, but I can see how it might considering how the uppers seem to be made. They do need to be thicker and sturdier. Where these shone is when I combined them with my outdoor grip toe socks. They make up for each other's shortcomings for the most part, and even though they don't magically become some amazing footwear, they come close. The toe socks grip these sock shoes, they flex together, they protect well, they breathe well, and they work better together than they do alone. I still can't recommend them for use on a treadmill, at least not if you have slippery feet like mine, because they'll still cause friction that heats up your feet, but they work great either on their own or with grip socks for everyday footwear.

Pretty sure this gave me a long-term fungal infection. Still recovering 2 months later. Saw another review on here with picture of their feet and what looked like blisters. Thought it was just a weird exception. I ended up having the exact same thing after wearing these... Might have been prevented if I had bleached or washed with vinegar before first wear. So maybe it's my fault. But there's no undo button so now I have to live with washing my feet daily and using antifungal powder every day. They were really comfortable otherwise. Wish the infection never happened though.

I just got my socks in the mail and I put them on as soon as I opened the package. THEY ARE WONDERFUL, exactly what I was looking for and the fit was perfect (size 7 for women). The quality seems good and they are perfect for walking around the house. I am semi disabled, I tend to fall, slip and have a hard time getting up, these socks fix the problem. They grip going across my lino and laminate flooring, I was able to get up without slipping and even walk better. I can wear them out out on the deck and won't need to find my slippers or shoes. This was a good buy and I will be getting more.

Foot length (heel to toe): 24 cm (9.4 in)Sock shoe external length: 25 cm (9.8 in)Sock shoe size: 7 Women/6 Men (heel to toe 9.6 in - 24.3 cm according to sizing chart)Sizing: true to size if you measure your feet accurately and follow the sizing chartI purchased these to practice martial arts and weight training in a hard concrete floor so, not exactly their intended use case. I only use them about 4 times a week for around 2 hours. As a replacement for a pair of Mooto Marshoes they are fantastic: far more resistant to wear and tear and the rubber soles, while very grippy, still allow for the twisting and sliding the feet required in kata. As for their use in weightlifting they are even better: you don't get the discomfort, lack of hygiene, and side eye of walking around barefoot in the gym while getting a good feel of the ground for squats, deadlifts and overhead presses.Absolutely recommended and will purchase again if/when they need replacing
