I've been scouring the Internet for months looking for other barefoot styles than the Xeros I've been wearing. I liked most of my Xeros, but felt like some of them weren't quite wide enough, and they were really expensive. I was excited by the style of the Rutsu high tops. And the price was reasonable. I followed the size guide and my new Rutsus fit perfectly! I love the roomy width. There are a couple spots rubbing on top of my toes after wearing them a couple hours, but I think they just need to break in and soften up a bit and should be fine. I love them so much that I want to buy a pair of the low top in white now, but my size (7.5) is out of stock.
Hands down my favorite bare foot sneaker so far! Will give an update in a few months to see how they hold up to wear and tear!
Just last week I received my olive green Rutsu high top sneakers. Here I am 67 years old and they're the first high tops I ever owned!! I was inquiring to the company about their soles as I had never seen the bottoms on any pictures. They kindly responded to me that they are transitioning their soles and that is why they have not had any photos. I have to tell you I love the soles! They are nice and grippy and very flexible. Also important, a true zero drop. I don't have to replace the shoelaces like I usually do because they are very soft and actually stay tied unlike so many of the laces you get with minimalist shoes.
I also inquired as to size and sent my measurements. My feet are approximately 22.8 cm length x 8.9 cm wide. I asked them to choose for me between a 6 1/2 or 7.
I was sent a size 7 and the length is very good I have almost a thumb width above my big toe and that is perfect. My pinky toes like just a little more room so I took the nice insoles out and now they are perfect! Very lightweight as well.
The canvas is good quality and I am impressed that the shoe is sewn not just glued to the sole. I love the contrasting color of the sole to the olive green of the shoe. I got many compliments about the contrasting colors too! I really like them and definitely want to order again!!
I am very happy with this shoe. I will buy another pair soon.
Love the pair I ordered, super comfortable and feel well made. I did rip the pull loop right away, but it took alot of effort on my part, it was just habit from me pulling on my leather work boots. But Rutsu saw my post about it on Facebook (where I was actually praising the shoe) and reached out immediately to make it right and assure me they're fixing the loop issue. They clearly back their product and their brand.
