Or something mostly barefoot? I can’t wear anything with any substantial support as I’ve lived most of my life barefoot. Thank you.

Hello, you would definitely want to check the insole on Mishansha for a heel lift if you want them to be zero-drop. I can’t say for certain if they are completely flat or not. Here are some insoles we recommend if you need them. You could also just leave the insole out.

I don’t think toe walking would be a problem as the soles should be very flexible!

Was looking at Mishansha water shoes, and was wondering if Mishansha was zero drop in general! And if they arent, is it possible to “make” them zero drop by using a barefoot insole? What barefoot insole would you recommend?

First time looking at barefoot shoes to buy, and haven’t worn them before! Love your reviews they are super awesome <3

I was also wondering if I can toe walk in them? I'm autistic and toe walking is something I tend to do [I do walk normally as well], are the mishansha shoes okay for that kind of gait?

Thanks for letting us know more about Kionas – we’ll give them a second look!

This brand’s sandals, which I ordered with no heel, are nice in appearance and comfort. However, I would not recommend them as barefoot shoes. The toe box is not anatomical, i.e. not wider than that of conventional shoes. More importantly, the soles under my heels have already rubbed away after about two months of use, to the point that I know I will need new sandals soon. I don’t think the sole material is made to withstand abrasion, since it would normally have a heel on it.

Those are from The Storehouse Flats. I believe they ship worldwide but I have not checked recently.

I’m sorry to hear about your troubles ordering from PedTerra. I have heard things happen slowly there, but I expect they will get back to you with a return label at some point (hopefully sooner rather than later). It’s still good for people to know that they might have to wait a while for responses, since that can be a deal breaker. Let us know if things works out!

I want to let you know that PedTerra is not a reliable company and I would never trust them to buy shoes from ever again. I bought Lenka SnowFlakes based on your review and they were small, I have been trying to get a return label from them the past week but no response. I suggest that you do not collaborate or recommend them.

I live on a limited budget and spent a significant amount for my daughter foot health but she can’t even use it.

It’s a scam. Unfortunately it’s been a problem lately, there are fake Vivobarefoot, Groundies, and Xero sites as well. Be Lenka only has one website!
