Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.They are good at first but if you are wearing them daily, they don't go the distance of some of the other barefoot shoes. I am getting maybe 2 months out of a pair of these shoes in comparison to 4 out of some of my other shoes. They look good though and I love the brighter colours that I have had to choose from I wouldn't wear them walking - they are better for a gym shoe.
I really like the comfort of the shoes and the strap between my toes is strong and hasn;t separated. My one issue is that the straps have slightly stretched and I climb the cliff trail often and its made the sandals a bit too loose. In fact today one fell off my foot climbing up.
Their website is good, it is easy to order their shoes, and their shoes are nice. The ones I ordered were too large, so I had to return them. The return process was not as easy and convenient as other merchants. Instead of doing it all quickly and easily on their website, I had to email them to tell them I had a return. Then they had to email me the address to return to. I had to create my own label and pay for it myself. Not the most customer-friendly approach.
My order came quickly. The quality of the sandals is excellent. They are sturdy, yet very comfortable. I wear them most every day and the last quite long. I’ve had at least four pair within the last 5 years.
While these shoes are not the most stylish sneaker you’ll ever wear, they’re the most comfortable ones since their toe box fit all your toes comfortably!
I love these shoes! The wide toe box has plenty of room for my big wide feet. The zero-drop sole means my spine isn’t being unnaturally compressed. The soles are thin enough to give a good ground feel but thick enough to offer good protection.
Well I'm a repeat customer who now lives in Mexico and I find the design and comfort of these sandals to be the best I have found. Thank you for the speedy delivery.....Michael
These shoes are very comfortable and a great value. As a vegan, there are so few shoes available appropriate for my office job. I’m hoping that you’ll eventually make an all brown pair.
Great shoes. Super cute, fit my wide feet and came pretty quick. I will definitely order more. I have a hard time finding shoes that are wide enough and I like the way they look. These check all the boxes.
I love my shoes! I got these because i got some Vans (which i used to love the brand) but they messed up my toes so bad due to them being too narrow and mesh on tops of my toes. Hobibears are legit the most comfy shoes
I ordered 2 pairs of shoes 1 black and 1 gray with the gum rubber sole on my 1st order. I'm very pleased with the quality, comfort and style of the shoes. They are also a great value at $89 for 2 pairs. I will definitely order again.
I have struggled to find shoes that fit (and that have no drop from heel to toe. I now have three pairs of Hobibear shoes, and they are easily the most comfortable all-day shoes I have ever worn.
Very satisfied with my shoes. The fit is perfect and they're well-constructed. Would recommend to anyone who prefers the more natural "barefoot" style in their casual shoes.
Fantastic Shoes! Will more than likely buy another pair!
Great shoes! Light and Comfortable
I love the barefoot life but often have to wear shoes. Hobibear shoes are comfortable and wide enough for my feet. I have five pair now!
I am in my 60s with a bunion that smashes my pinky toe. The bunion doesn't bother me, but the corn building on the pinky is excruciating. I bought $180 Hodas, under my podiatrist's advice and they did not help. I learned that Wide Toe Box were the magic words. After searching for this, I decided that Hobibear was the lightest and most affordable. Besides the name was cute. Plus at least you had size 14. I was initially skeptical they would fit me, looking so small and feeling so tight, but even with the insoles replaced with orthopedics, I was eventually able to relax into them. The true test was my 12-hour shift as a cook. For the first time, I had no pain in my pinky. My other foot was more uncomfortable than the one with the bunion. I am so relieved. If I bought them again I would get a larger size if that was possible. I would suggest a higher Backstay and the added safety of a safer tread that won't slip on wet tile. And maybe one with no laces for us fat old people. Thank!
I HAVE VERY BAD HAMMER TOES. MY LITTLE TOE WAS REMOVED. MY BUNION HAS RETURNED. MY LEFT FOOT NEEDED A 4.0IN TOE BOX. YOU SAVED THE DAY. LOVE THE SHOES THANK YOU
These shoes are SO comfortable, I wear them every time I leave the house.
