Thanks for the picture. I didn’t realize there were actual shoes involved! I just thought you were wearing some sort of insert that I had never seen. Now that I saw the pic I feel like a dum dum!!!! Great idea!

The inserts are full length and pretty thin. By cutting off the toes of the inserts I still get the support on the rest of the shoe. I’ll try to find a photo I posted of it on IG.

That is funny but I’m a little confused!!! How do you get the inserts to stay on? Are the insoles like socks or booties? Or did you cut the toes off a pair of shoes and insoles? Either way I love that you’ll bust out a quick workout b/c they are so easy!

I ran it by my foot doc who is a real straight shooter and he didn’t like the lack of support. So what did I do? I took a pair of support/inserts that I wear in all my shoes (that do as good a job for me as orthotics) and cut off the toe part- now it’s like wearing clouds on my feet. I would never jump in them but that’s just b/c I’ve had such a history of problems with my feet. I LOVE them for travel and I can’t tell you how many times I have busted out a quick workout just b/c they were so easy to put on- isn’t that funny? I wouldn’t have worked out if I had to put on SOCKs and then SHOES and then TIE the LACES. But boom! These suckers go on and I’m lunging and squatting before I know what hit me! Glad you got used to them! Thanks for the review- fun to see how others perceive them.

I love minimalist shoes. I haven’t gone the vibram route yet… but it’s on my list to try.

Great review! I didn’t think I wanted these for running, but now I’m tempted for KB workouts… I hope I can find some for 40% off!

I got a pair fairly recently and I love them for kettlebells and walks…LOVE them! I also feel that I walk more naturally in them!
