I use these Bare-XF shoes pretty much all the time. All gym work, bootcamp and cross-fit sessions. They have been really comfortable to wear and are resilient to the kicking i've given them in the last 6 months. Will definitely be wanting another pair soon. Really impressed

So far really enjoying. They give a great athletic feel to the barefoot experience. (Iv worn barefoot trainers now for over 10 years) My only reason for 1 star down, I would prefer the slightest bit more width in the toe box.

These are really comfy and light weight. Tracktion is also very good when pulling/pushing sledge on grass mat. My last inov8 lasted +1 000 hours before the glue between the shoe sole and the frame started to fail. The shoes also have the original laces and their grommets are still as good as new! I can really be confident to knowing that i bought a quality pair of training shoes!

I feel it's a shame to write this reviews as these shoes have been, without question, the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Ever. But one year on and with pretty light use, they're falling apart. The sole is coming away from the upper. It's a crying shame as in every other way, they're brilliant.

These shoes are great value and are an excellent all rounder. Whether it be crushing some weights, or going for a hike, these shoes feel like you’re not even wearing anything. I have also found that they have improved my running also (mostly through the way my foot contacts the ground).

Foot feels very stable but also with some space in the toes, would prefer slightly higher around the ankle but this is not a big problem. Insole is very comfortable. Overall very happy.

There's a lot to love about this barefoot training shoe. The upper is breathy and at the same time feels robust with the overlays. The tongue is plush, just could be a bit longer. The boot is very "build out" for a barefoot shoe, and my feet feel locked in. The wide toebox is comfortable and allows for good toe splay. The outsole is super grippy. My main gripe - and why I ultimately didn't keep the shoe - is the heel. Its rounded form feels a bit unstable when I'm driving through my heels, like I'm getting dangerously close to rolling my ankle if I'm not careful.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback, but we are really sorry to hear that the Bare-XFs are too narrow for you. We usually get great feedback regarding them due to the new anatomical fit, but we will be sure to pass your comments to our design team.
We offer 30 day returns
online, so as they are too small for you, you can either return them back to us for a size exchange or a refund. Some customers find half a size up gives them a little extra width, but if you need any help with anything, please feel free to contact the team using the contact page online.
All the best,

Excellent shoe. Runs a little small. Sized up half a size. Build quality is flawless. Flexibility is superb. Have used this for squatting, deadlifting, sled work and running. Cannot fault it in use. Extremely happy with the shoe and recommend it highly. I would definitely buy one again.

Very comfortable shoes for everyday use. The soles are just thick enough to be comfortable to walk in, but also to feel the terrain underfoot. I have not worn them to the gym. I walk in the park and to work every day.

Barefoot shoes, a big improvement over the previous bare foot’s i have had from Inov8, insoles stay in place and add just enough comfort whilst still keeping ground feel and natural foot feel. So good i bought two pairs. Just unsure on longevity, but so far so good.

The shoes seem to be high quality but I have only worn them for a week. However, they want a review now. So, quality seems good, value for money money will be determined how well these $130 shoes hold up.
