These shoes were extremely uncomfortable due their construction with a very hard plastic. I didn't wear them for five minutes before my toes were aching from the plastic rubbing in between them.

The shoe has a very short strap and in the toes it causes blisters! I leave the strap unfastened and I always wear a bandaid over my toes to prevent blisters!

Honest reviews on Vivobarefoot Women's Achilles Sandal

I love these shoes! I must admit that there is a break in period. At first, the plastic rubbed on the tip of my big toe and caused a sore spot but after wearing them for a few days my feet adapted. I get lots of compliments and people ask me all the time about them. They are great and will become a favorite if you give them a chance to break in.

I chose the light gray/crimson Vivobarefoot because I wanted a summer shoe that had more pizazz than a pair of flip-flops. With Vivobarefoot, you get that in spades. Many have commented on my shoes, and most of the comments have been positive the other commenters wanted to know what they were & if they were comfortable.

You have to get use to the plastic between your toes. For me, there was a break in period & I do notice it for a few minutes after I initially put them on. The best way to describe is that it feels the same as the plastic between your toes on a pair of cheaper flip--flops. I broke mine in by resting my shoes on a foot heater to warm up the plastic to try to "mold" the plastic better around my toes/feet.

The light gray/crimson is the perfect choice for summer. The light gray is more like a silver gray & doesn't make your foot look dark/heavy. The strap is fine on my foot & there is room to loosen it up, but my foot size was on the short end of the large, so I'm not sure whether a foot on the high side of the sizing would have strap issue.

Sizing: my foot is on the low end of the large & there is additional foot-bed space for a larger foot. Although I probably could have gotten away with a medium, my toes are long, so I appreciate the toe room in the large (that is why I didn't exchange the shoe). Despite the fact that my foot is on the low end of the sizing, it is not noticeable when I walk.

Walking: I only walk in these shoes, and they are comfortable. They are designed to be protection only & they do protect my feet from rough and/or hot surfaces. The plastic foot-bed is very flexible.

All in all, I really like this shoe. I had to get use to feeling the plastic between my toes (was not a flip flop wearer), but once familiarized, I found the shoe to be quite comfortable. I look for an excuse to put them on (I slide them on & just keep the velco fastened).
