STIMULUS V2

First time wearing barefoot shoes. I’m really impressed with them. Previously have had back pain with Hokas and foot pain in the side of my foot with Brooks, but do not have those issues with these shoes.

Well first impressions are everything, when I realized I accidentally purchase the wrong color way, Delaney helped me right away. She sent me a return label free of charge and got my new shoes sent out ASAP. She stayed in contact with me through out the process and even helped me get a pair of “latte” colored laces for the shoes. I have not had such a positive experience in regards to customer service in a long time!

Now let’s talk about the shoe! Right out of the box they look amazing. They look and feel like very high quality material. I would say they take a little time to break in, but not much. It’s more about transitioning into a barefoot shoe. I have worn them every day since I got them so for about a month and there is minimal sign of wear and they have only gotten more comfortable. I have weight lifted in them and done some short distance running (about 5 miles in total) so far. At the rate as long as the last a while I would happily buy again. My wife bought a pair before me and also loves them, she was the one who convinced me to try them. The only draw back I have noticed so far, is the tongue does slide to the side a bit. Annoying but not a deal breaker by any means. I have tried a few other pairs of minimalist shoes and these ones really take the cake. Vivobrand doesn’t even stand a chance!

Thanks again Minnemals! I look forward to buying another pair of shoes from you all in the future!

Version #2, also great

i wear the shoes with toed socks which allow my toes to move freely and independently inside the shoes which helps relieve the pain of my bunion. i now have 3 pairs in different colors

This was my first time trying barefoot shoes, and I was skeptical at first. I always thought more cushioning and support were better—but I decided to give these a real chance in my daily life. I wore them everywhere: around the house, on walks, during workouts, while biking, and even on family outings to the park. The results amazed me.

I used to experience knee tendon pain and joint discomfort in my big toe, but after adjusting to these shoes, those issues disappeared. The soles provide excellent balance and allow for a powerful push-off, whether you're jogging or just keeping up with active kids. Plus, their versatility is a huge bonus—I can wear them for workouts or pair them with jeans for a casual look. Friends and family have taken notice, and some have even bought their own pairs. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend giving them a try!
