Bought a pair of pic related because i saw a couple of videos recommending them for le minimalism barefoot meme.
All the shoes i buy are EU size 43, i am very picky because my right foot is more like size 42, so i didn't expect these to fit.
These fit like size 42 even though the insole says size 43.
The build quality is very chink - glue marks are very obvious, some material edges have folds, the outsole is goopy at the tip, but overall it doesn't feel like they are falling apart.
The insole cant be removed, but it isn't bad. i was expecting it to be flat, but its a little raised on the heel. The toebox is no bigger than any generic shoes you'd find. The outsole is very rubbery and flexible which i like (i had shoes with hard outsole and they snapped in half, letting water in). The laces are positioned forward which seems less secure, but the thin material wraps around my foot so my heel isn't slipping out (by far the biggest issue i have when looking for shoes).
I'm gonna order another pair that is a size bigger. These have potential, if i buy another for 14 eur and they fit well, i'm better off than buying 30 eur shoes locally that probably won't last more than a year.
