I've got really wide feet, so I liked the fit of them, but there is absolutely NO support in them whatsoever, which led (even in my primarily sedentary job) to my feet hurting.

Ordered and shipped in a timely matter. Customer service informed me of a color I had choice being out of stock and made it easier to switch. The shoes themselves are fantastic. I've order another brand similar but these are more comfortable.

It came with the original china bag from the original china seller.

Saw these on an instagram ad and was sure they'd be all hype! Been wearing mine for about 2 weeks and they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn and super cute too.

Really love these shoes! It is hard to find a wide toe box casual shoe that actually looks good!
Small raise in the toes at the front that gives the shoe a bit of a rocker which is the only thing I would change. Overall my experience with Hobibear has been really positive and am currently looking to order more shoes!

These shoes have no interal padding and require socks so the seams don't rub against your feet.

This shoe is incredible. My only problem is that I ordered a size too big but I will be ordering the right size ASAP.! I have completely flat feet and every shoe I’ve ever bought needed a breaking in. As soon as I put these shoes on, they were comfortable from the start just a little too big. For reference, I normally wear an 8 1/2 and I ordered an eight

Terrible Customer Service. Basically stole money from me
I ordered this on the 6th of April. It took you over 10 days to tell me the shoe I ordered was out of stock. Then proceeded to take over the 5 to 8 business days to get the shoes to me like I paid for. It took 10 days. The shoes are great but I’ll never order from this company again. I doubt I’ll even get that money back for the “fast” shipment. I’ll buy from someone else for my next pair of barefoot shoes
Unless your not getting enough orders from the US. You should really think about building up your stock in the US. I probably will not buy anymore shoes from or recommend them to anyone else do to how long it takes to receive them.
