I ordered Merrell Barefoot Flux. Superbly packed, delivered fast and great communication. I can't wait to try the shoes.

Great service, Great trainers

My shoes were delivered really promptly and were slighty too small, I exchanged them for the next size up and received them also within a couple of days. The original order was credited promptly and the whole process was really efficient. Trainers are excellent.

Great price, product and delivery

I bought the Vivobarefoot trail II for a holiday where I'd be running on trails. The product was first class and at a great price. The delivery was within 36 hrs and info was supplied regarding barefoot running.

Brilliant barefoot business

The website is clear and easy to navigate. There is lots of clear information about all of the shoes and the video reviews are a great touch, really useful. Delivery was fast and free, and prices are competitive. It is great that there is now a British barefoot shoes specialist shop on the web.

Lightning fast order processing and delivery.

I was looking to buy a new pair of zero-drop running shoes and had almost decided to buy from Amazon (due to availability) but was somewhat unhappy doing so due to them monopolizing the market more and more. By a stroke of luck I came across this site. Nice website, good content, small but well targeted selection of products and a decent ordering process. Ordered my choice of shoes and they were processed in record time. Delivery was also prompt. Only negative was some socks that I was considering not being available in my size. For my first purchase, I am very satisified and will be returning again.

All the information, competitive prices, fast delivery

As soon as I started looking for some barefoot shoes I found this website and was glad I did. The reviews of products are extremely handy when trying to decide on a shoe. Delivery was free and almost instant. I will definitely be buying my next pair of barefoot shoes from here. Also it's great to have the training information and instructions other than those from each shoe's manufacturer.

Excellent service, competitively priced

I bought a pair of Vivo Barefoot trainers from Barefoot Athlete for an unbeatable price, which was £40 lower than the price charged by some other websites. As I was looking for advice about the appropriate size to buy for my husband, I called the company and spoke to someone who was able to give friendly and accurate advice. The trainers arrived swiftly, in perfect condition and were carefully packaged to ensure that they kept their shape. My husband was very pleased!

Everyting went as planned

Found my new Inov-8 @ Barefoot Athlete to the lowest price amongst the 8 sites I checked. Delivery from UK to Denmark was fast (5 working days). No problems at all. I will therefore recommend Barefoot Athlete to everyone.

Good service

I've dealt with this company twice so far. My first pair of trainers had a fault and were replaced without any trouble.

On my second order the trainers were too large, returning and obtaining a refund was easy.

Will use again!
