Women'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 the the 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, 2025 Joomras 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. Update: March 16, 2026 --Have been wearing my original Joomras (purchased in 2024) around the house as slippers, to the gym, and on walks. They have held up fantastically! The tred is like new. They go with everything--best color. They really get better and more comfortable with time! I adore them...otherwise I wouldn't bother with these reviews... On a lqast note...they are marvelous for hammer toes and bunions.

These Joomra women’s trail running barefoot shoes were exactly what I was looking for. They are extremely comfortable right out of the box and provide that true barefoot feel while still offering enough protection for outdoor walking and trail use. The wide toe box allows toes to spread naturally, which makes a big difference in overall comfort, especially during longer wear. They feel lightweight and flexible, making them great for everyday use, exercise, and light trail activities. The fit is secure without feeling tight, and the zero-drop sole helps promote a more natural walking and running posture. I also love the color—it's beautiful and looks even better in person than in photos. The shoes are breathable and didn’t cause hot spots or rubbing, even after extended wear. While they aren’t meant for heavy technical trails, they perform very well for casual trails, walking, and daily activities. Pros: • Very comfortable with a true barefoot feel • Wide toe box allows natural movement • Lightweight and flexible design • Zero-drop sole supports natural posture • Breathable material for all-day wear • Beautiful color and stylish design Cons: • Minimal cushioning may not suit those used to traditional running shoes • Not ideal for very rugged or technical trails • Barefoot style may require an adjustment period for some users Overall, these Joomra barefoot trail running shoes deliver excellent comfort, functionality, and style. If you’re looking for a minimalist shoe with a natural feel and attractive design, these are a great option.

Received these yesterday and ordered another pair this morning. I have severe bone on bone knee pain and balance issues. My knees feel wobbly and painful esp if walking on an uneven surface. I have scores of cushy sneakers and skechers of all varieties always tryng to find a pair to help my knee pain and in turn my balance. I had years of foot pain previously not now that convinced me cushy was better. Maybe then but not now. I recently bought a sneaker that was lower to ground and like them they helped a bit with walking but I was still struggling to walk somewhat naturally. I never considered "barefoot" style zero drop (whatsthat?) as more than the new 70's earthshoe if you remember those. Well I started researching by accident different ones on Amazon, these had the most reviews, reasonable price to experiment purchase and a couple reviews where seniors said this helped not only knee pain! but also balance! How could that be?????? I ordered and put them on as soon as they came. Unbelievable-- I stood -without pain. I walked without hardly any note of pain, I felt steady grounded and balanced when I took steps. I wore then 12 hours no breakin and felt like I won the lottery. My walking /ambulation was more normal and more in sync with my energy level. I was elated. I have been using a cane for balance and I hardly felt I needed it and maybe less and less as I adopt the barefoot lifestyle!!!! I really feel more grounded- amazing. About the shoes i order the the 6.5 -7 . I am 7 and they fit like a glove without socks and they are awesome, so I think I will size up to wear socks and see if the 7.5/8 work without being too big. also the next size may be easier for me to put on but honestly Im so happy right now I feel like I got part of my life back. How did that happen. Edit: I bot the 7.5/8 also and they fit a little less snug also feel good. Plus I bot husband a pair and he loves them.

Ordered these in August 2022 to begin the transition to minimalist running. I’ve had plantar fasciitis pain since my teens, and prescription orthotics weren’t fixing anything. Wanted to see what would happen if I stopped treating my feet like lifeless balls of flesh that I stomp around on. Not a podiatrist, just sharing experience. Size and durability: I wear 7.5/8 when it comes to dress shoes and 8/8.5 when it comes to running shoes. My first pair was 7.5/8 and I decided to go a little bigger (8.5) for my second pair. I run approximately 3x per week for 2-3 miles each time. The first pair I wore from august to early January. The second pair I started wearing in early January and am still wearing for runs now (early may). I think I will likely keep my current pair for longer than I kept the first since the fit is better. I will often randomly wear these to work as well where I’m often on my feet for a large percentage of the day. Current pair still looking great. I will probably order a fresh pair for when I go to Europe since I plan to walk several miles each day and would prefer some extra cushioning (it wears down a bit over time). Background: I started to read in summer 2022 about the benefits of toe spreading, gentle ground contact, losing “arch support”, and strengthening the whole foot. I stopped buying running shoes and decided to transition to zero drop using these. As I transitioned, I continued to use my regular hack around shoes for the day-to-day so I wouldn’t snap my Achilles as it started to lengthen back out. With the joomras My runs at first were very short and very slow, and I’d stop at any sign of Achilles pain or any pain that felt like tearing. The hack around shoes that I continued to wear for work were allbirds for context (a little heel but nothing extreme). I think continuing to wear these really helped with the transition, because if I completely transitioned to flat shoes immediately I probably would have torn something. The verdict: I have a super high opinion of these shoes. Once I got a size that felt good (my big toe not touching the top), I was able to implement toe spreading and begin to improve my running. After approximately 8 months I feel almost completely transitioned to flat shoes. My arches never hurt anymore. My feet often hurt—not in a tearing way—but in a “I just worked these muscles” kind of way. It’s a wild and exciting feeling. For awhile I actively was forcing my toes to spread in the shoes. That was really helpful in getting these shoes to work for me. Plus, I found that spreading my toes made my feet more bouncy and allowed me to rely less on the ball footpads and heel of my foot to absorb shock—it feels more like the inner musculature of the foot is absorbing the shock. I’m not a podiatrist, so take this with a grain of salt. Just sharing my experience. My advice. Tread lightly. Transition slowly. Don’t heel slam. Make a conscious effort to spread toes.

I have wide feet and high arches and these shoes are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever put my feet in. I was barefoot for the majority of my childhood and most of my young adult life I wore converse or flats. Any time I try to wear tennis shoes my feet and calves cramp and I can only wear them for a very short time. A family member gave me some hokas not too long ago and while they are comfy, I find that my feet slide off their super thick sole if I wear them on uneven ground. We have a small homestead and I work outside all day every day and I had just started wearing sandals or swim shoes to work outside in because all my other shoes were very uncomfortable. I ordered these because I felt like they were a cross between a swim shoe and tennis shoes, they had a wide toe box for my wide feet, and they looked easy to slip off and on. They have met or exceeded every expectation! I've had no problem with my feet slipping and sliding around in the shoe. The sole is thick enough that walking on rocks doesn't hurt my heels, which has been a problem with my swim shoes and sandals. 2 years ago I stepped on a rock and bruised my heel so bad that it hurt constantly for a solid year. I do NOT want to do that again. I'm on my feet all day every day and the majority of that time is spent on rock so I definitely need a good sole. These shoes are great at offering the protection I need without having a big bulky sole, plus they offer the perfect amount of support my feet need and are still flexible enough to make walking on uneven ground easy. I really can't wait to test these out when we go huckleberry hunting. I always wear my swim shoes when we go because I usually wind up climbing up a steep hillside several times in search of an untouched patch of huckles. The tread on the sole looks incredibly grippy and I'm hoping that is the case.... we will see very soon if they are! I can't wait to put them to the test. These are so comfortable and I really bought them to be my designated work shoes but I'm probably going to buy another pair or two in different colors. I got the blue ones and they are very bright, I love the color but they don't match much of my wardrobe. So I'll probably order some in a more neutral color for going to town. The first day I had them I wore them without socks, which was what I hoped to be able to do, however, since I don't really wear "real" shoes very often, they were starting to rub my heel. I have been wearing some light low cut socks and that solved that problem. Not sure if it was the shoe or if it was my heel, but everything is good now that I am wearing socks. Time will tell on how durable these shoes are, but rest assured I will be putting them through the wringer. They feel very durable, hopefully they will last me a long time. I really like them so far and want some more!

I love these shoes and they're reasonably priced. However I need to get a new pair every 3-4 months because the big toes on one or both feet breaks through because of weak fabric. They're still a good deal and very comfortable but I wish the manufacturer would add more fabric or rubber to that part of the shoe. I just bought my 4th or maybe 5th pair so I recommend them but know they won't last long.

I finally found the barefoot shoe that I was looking for. After trying other more premium brands from Amazon and returning them due to sizing and fit I finally hit the jackpot with these! I was concerned about the sizing - depending on the shoe/sandal and brand I can be anywhere from a 6.0 to 7.5. My normal shoe size is 7 (medium width) and usually I size up to 7.5 for athletic shoes. So I ordered the 7.5-8 and it’s perfect - I was worried it would be huge but it’s not. So comfy, very flexible sole and lots of toe wiggle room! Great for what I was looking for - indoor strength training, treadmill walking and outdoor walking on the sidewalk and beach!

BIG EDIT: I've worn these exclusively for a CPL weeks since I bought them. I've learned my feet aren't really all that wide, but they are relaxing and now my right shoe is tight. I had to revive the liner bc I have gotten a huge gushy juicy deep deep blister on the outside of my right heel. I'm having a hard time relearning how to walk so I don't strike my heel as hard. They were great right or if the box. They're not so great now. They feel fine (except for the pain of stepping on that blister) on our short walks around the complex. When we go on our long walks (the drug and I) we've gone on our longest walk the last 2 of the last 3 days. That is 2 miles of walking and these blisters are awful. We're only walking the 1 mile walk now until I can try this blister handled. I've ordered geweo extra wide toe box barefoot minimalist shoes. The box is great and Tommy. The heel was good. They were just a little short. So I'm waiting for the credit of the smaller shoes to buy a half size bigger. Anyway. If your feet won't spread, these are great. I can't wear them with my toe spreaders either. END OF UPDATE I've worn birks exclusively for the last 6 years and I am tired of the dark dark stripes on my feet all the time. It's just gross. So I decided to get some sneakers. EVERYBODY goes on about their Skechers. So I ordered Skechers mules bc I was worried abt the backs of shoes ravaging my virgin heels. They were too big. Then I went to a Skechers casual shoe. It was TERRIBLE! I live 3 tenths of a mile to the grocery. I went there in those shoes and had to lay down when I got back. My hips, knees, ankles, and lower back just SCREAMED! That gogamat crap is awful! So Google must have known of my struggles when it sent a vivo barefoot ad and I looked into it. There's no way I'm dropping $160 for a pair of shoes that won't last a year again. So I found these. They got here this morning and they are amazing! I immediately wore them on my dog's mid morning mile long walk. They fit like a glove, they do not chafe or rub anywhere. The only thing I'm not super pleased abt is the back edge of the right side of the right shoe rolls inward when I put the shoe on and they fit so well I have a really hard time getting my finger in there to roll it back up. It takes a lot of effort. I'm a 37eu. Birks said that is 6-6.5. this maker called it a 6.5-7. the label inside says 37 and it's the best fitting shoe I've ever worn. Some of the reviews I read other places and the blogs I read said you needed to build up to wearing these. If you've worn birks, there is no need to adjust. I'm guessing it's just a warning if you've come from regular shoes. Buy these!
