These shoes are excellent for the gym, running, squats, deadlifts, i want to own several more pairs! I've owned a pair of barefoot shoes with the toes, but i love the feel of these, especially with the strap for weightlifting! The arch support is really nice for someone like me who has slight flat feet and over pronation. Can you guys please release more colors of these shoes? I feel like these would overtake many people's nike free collections haha... especially in the crossfit/ functional fitness world.

I bought these shoes for better traction during a variety of strength, cardio, and flexibility group workout classes. They have helped me a great deal to have better stability on both the floor and the step. The lighter weight on the feet was an added bonus. Even though they are barefoot shoes, I find them more comfortable to wear with light socks, but that is probably a matter of taste.

We are glad you noticed the connection you feel to the ground while wearing your Hammer Gloves during your workout classes. Even though this is a "barefoot" shoe, it is preference on if people want to wear socks or not. Thank you so much for the review.

This shoe has very good traction, cushioning and lateral movement support compare to other minimalist shoes I've tried e.g. New Balance Minimus, vivo barefoot. I live in a hot and humid country and find it a little warm and not as airy when compare to Bare Access.

We are so excited we are on the top of your list for a great minimalist shoe. We will be happy to pass along your feedback on the breath ability of the Hammer Glove compared to the Bare Access. Thank you for the great review.

I really enjoy these new shoes and have been using them while at Crossfit. The shoe works well for lifting, running and all around gym use. I have yet to do any rope climbs with them but that will be a great test of sole durability. They have a wide toe box, which fits my foot well, and the Velcro strap allows me to dial in the snugness of the shoe depending on the activity. My one complaint/ wish is that the shoes had a dedicated space on the back where I could easily write my name/ initials. Get a pair of these shoes and get out there!

Let us know how they do after you take them rope climbing. We are thrilled you are putting them to great use while at Crossfit. Thank you for the feedback on the Barefoot Train Hammer Glove.

My first low profile, barefoot shoe. Love this shoe!! Only took me one exercise session to get used to these. Used mainly for extreme cross training (P90x, Insanity, ...). Excellent sole grip and lateral support, even when doing suicides, lateral lunges, and some yoga. Prefer barefeet when doing yoga but if you have these on and want to incorporate some yoga moves into your program, these work great. I am usually between a 9-9.5. Went with the 9 and they are perfect. Suggest using all lace eyelets to keep your heel from slipping out. Terms "barefoot" to describe feel and "glove" to describe fit are spot on. You have made the perfect exercise shoe!! Thank you!
