If you are familiar to barefoot shoes, these are your next favorite pair! Comfortable, stylish, versatile, quality performance.
If you are not familiar with barefoot shoes. These are your gateway drug. Not your typical clownish barefoot shoes. But as instructed, they take some getting used to as your foot builds up strength so make sure you follow the recommendations for easing them. These are seriously the only shoes I ever wear anymore. Incredible shoe!!

I’ve had the V1s for over a year—love them. They’re insanely comfy for doing tons of walking, and supportive enough for casual wear + gym seshes. Admittedly, there was one tiny thing I didn’t love: this little pinch on the top of my foot if I were to, for example, step up on my tip toes. They listened + fixed this on the V2s! The 6mm insole makes them extra comfortable for day to day use and I would say they’d be perfect for someone transitioning to barefoot. Personally I love the snug fit—it makes me feel extra supported when I’m doing functional workouts, and I’ve even done some conditioning work in them—they do not disappoint! While they aren’t the widest of toe boxes compared to other barefoot shoes, I appreciate the design, the feel, and the durability.

I only want to see them come out with fun colorways ;)

If you’re searching for a minimalist shoe that doesn’t force your toes into a narrow tube, Minnemals is a top contender. The wide toe box alone makes them worth considering — you get to walk, train, and move more naturally. Then layer on zero drop, a thin flexible sole, and a clean, everyday-friendly aesthetic, and you’ve got a shoe that bridges the gap between function and fashion.

I’d rate Minnemals as a smart pick for anyone looking to dip their toes (literally) into barefoot-style shoes without sacrificing style or comfort. Whether you’re working out or walking through your day, they’re a solid companion.

I’ve been wearing my Minnemals regularly, and they’ve quickly become my go-to. On the first full day, I walked about a mile—my left arch felt a bit fatigued, but no pain at all. They stayed comfortable all day.
The fit is form-hugging but broke in fast. The padded tongue and heel cup make them super easy to slip on and off. The toe box is wide enough for natural toe splay without looking goofy—though I wouldn’t mind a tiny bit more width. I can't wear them with my toe spacers, but it's a small trade-off.
They strike a great balance between barefoot and traditional—enough ground feel to let your feet "feel" without discomfort on uneven surfaces. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the style, and I love the overall look.
The only downside is the warmth—there’s not much airflow, so some breathable mesh panels would be a great future mod. Still, overall these are fantastic shoes I’ll be wearing often. Stylish, comfortable, and a great transitional barefoot option.

I have been looking for more minimal/barefoot shoes for quite a while. Most of the ones I see are honestly very ugly and couldn't bring myself to pay $160 for something I didn't even like how they looked. Minnemals look great and they are very comfortable. I have been using during my strength training and have even ran in them a few times. Very impressed, will likely purchase more. I hade some issues with my first pair with the sole coming off too early, but customer service was amazing and took care of the issue.

STIMULUS V2

great all rounder shoe! Love the latte colour way, works great with any outfit really. The retro style is really trendy too! It has some padding which is good when walking on concrete or hard flooring all day.
A great minimal shoe with toe box space for any activity! highly recommend

- I have been wearing barefoot/minimalist shoes for 3ish years (I lost track) and these are one of my favorite brands! I wear a women's 12 and Minnemals accommodates feminine shoes.
- I noticed a ton of upgrades between V1 and V2. My favorite upgrade is there is less fabric throughout the shoe. And of course, the new beige color.
- If you are on the fence about buying these shoes, do it! You won't regret it!

I never knew I needed a barefoot shoe. I was against them until I tried them. Minnemals were my first experience with barefoot shoes, since I put them on last September (2024) I haven’t looked back. I tried to hike in my Columbia shoes and experienced so much pain. Pain I never had before wearing Minnemals. I am an owner of both the V1 and V2! Now that I have purchased my third pair of Minnemals there is no turning back. My pickleball and golf Game have thanked me, my knee pain has decreased and I can actually feel the strength in my large toe while doing strength training. On another note, the Minnemals sweatshirt is the coziest thing ever. I live in it!

This was my first pair of “barefoot” shoes and they are amazing! The customer service is also incredible. Happy to support an ethical, woman owned brand! 🙌

This is my first pair of barefoot shoes and I'm loving the experience of wearing them and the look of the shoe. I've been in the market for a daily shoe replacement and these have more than fit the bill.

I've slowly adopted to wearing them as my muscles adjust and strengthen to the barefoot design. It's proven to be a seamless transition and you can feel the difference in your feet.

I'm bullish on MINNEMALS! Go buy!

p.s. I'm a size 13 and the 12-12.5s fit great.

I absolutely love these shoes. My very first workout with them felt so great! I literally get excited to put them on. They do run a little big, so I recommend sizing down if you are in between sizes. The look, the feel, the design… Highly recommend these shoes!

First 4-5 days my feet were hurting…not because of the shoe….didn’t realize how weak little muscles in my feet were. Now…WOW! It’s amazing! I feel like my feet feel so good and my toes are so free! Will and would buy again!

Great fit. I love that when I'm wearing these shoes my entire foot is engaged and activated as it should be.
