    Love them - just really want half sizes

    Love everything about these shoes. They look great and they give me all that I look for in a barefoot shoe, but with enough “squish” to use them on pavement.

    Only problem is they don’t do half sizes. I can wear the 8’s but my toes are touching the end which I don’t like. I can wear the 9’s but they are too long and I’ve caught my toes on things a couple of times. I am 9’s in most of my shoes, including my other Splays.

    I really want to buy more regardless, but not sure which size to choose.

    If there were half sizes in would buy all the colours!

    My best sneakers

    I have never had such comfortable sneakers. When walking for a long time, my feet do not get tired in them, they do not press anywhere and seem to be made for my foot. And the smart system for choosing the size! This delighted me! It works and not just correctly but absolutely correctly! I want everyone to try these sneakers.

    I AM 17 AND THESE SHOES ARE A GREAT PICK

    I was so excited to open up my mail today and find these running shoes, I immediately tried them on and here was my first impression: The sole is thicker than the usual barefoot shoe (I should mention i am replacing and comparing some 20 dollar Amazon barefoot shoes to this) with a good grip that gave me a sense of springiness. The toe box is the perfect size for me however the back end of the shoe fit oddly & it felt loose only on the heel. This was a simple fix; just tighten and lace up the shoe by one more eyehole to get a good and natural fit. Now, I took my dog on a run with these to test them and when I tell you I was sprinting with him I was SPRINTING (on concrete). Absolutely no issues with the sole, infact it was probably the most comfortable run I've had in a barefoot shoe. Overall amazing looking, functioning, and healthy pair of shoes to let my feet run freely. Thank you, Splay, for making a stylish pair of barefoot shoes. I will soon be ordering the 101!

    Not what I hoped, but great customer service

    The positive: truly excellent customer service with mail issues and return!

    The rest of this review is probably not what they were hoping for when sending a million emails asking for one.

    The actual shoe was unfortunately not what I'd hoped and was disappointing. As a Saucony Jazz Low Pro lover who has had a great time with my Be Lenka barefoot boots, I hoped these would be the best of both worlds (especially due to the low pro being discontinued). Unfortunately, these seemed significantly less well made and less comfortable than either of those shoes.

    They were stiff and awkward feeling, and less minimal than my Sauconys in terms of weight, bulk, and flexibility (and the Sauconys are not designed as minimalist or barefoot shoes). They also forced my feet to roll inwards (not an issue I normally have), and made me feel like I would have to be fighting the shoe. I could tell even from a short, indoor try on that they would be bad for my bunion pain as well. While there is more room for toe splay, the rest of the shoe shape was very not barefoot feeling for my feet, even after removing the insole. It's likely that my expectations and the design of this shoe just don't match, but I wanted to share in case others had similar hopes.
