Great low all black sneaker. I had to go a half size up from my previous Rutsus and my husband ordered a pair and also feel they are more snug that his previous ones so not sure if something changed in material or padding but by going the half size up, they again fit perfectly.
To start, shipping was reasonable although it wasn't as UPS was saying. Now, when I got them (the tan and black ones), I thought they looked great! They're light, not bulky, but they're not cheap either. Definitely not like all the barefoot shoes copies out there. Being mid tops, they're a little hard to put on and take off, but just gotta get used to loosening the laces and remembering that these shoes might be more flexible, so just bend them a bit if necessary. I like the stitches, I hope that means they last longer before they separate at the seams. Lastly, the toe socks were probably not worth it lol. Wish I had gotten the elastic laces instead. The socks are too tight on one of my toes, and I'm not very big.
These are comfortable, lightweight and dry fast. I love both the cork insert and the wooly insert. It’s fall and I can wear them and my feet are warm.
I love everything about these shoes from the fit, the feel, the look, etc. I look forward to buying many more.
LOVE THESE SHOES.
Love the wide toe, but not built to look silly.
Classic black and gum bottom. Cannot beat this midtop look.
Canvas is thick, stitching is thick, quality is A+. I think these will last a while. Currently wearing them daily. Around the house. Walking trails. Gym.
These are my favorite shoe I'm about to get like 5 pairs for sure
TLDR: Sleek, stylish, and durably constructed. Narrow toe box - size up for wide feet.
Get the elastic laces! They’re a complete game changer. IMO they should be included.
Pros:
First, these shoes are HSA/FSA eligible through TruMed! That’s why I was able to get these. Second, I had to email their customer service to figure this out, but I’m happy to report that the canvas is 100% cotton! Many people prefer natural materials ot sure why they don’t explicitly state that…. While I can’t speak to real-world durability yet, these shoes are soled with the “trifecta of durability”, as Weston Kay of Rose Anvil puts it - that is (1) a cup sole that is (2) glued/cemented and (3) sidewall stitched.
Cons:
Width. To my fellow flipper-footed friends: these shoes run narrow compared to most anatomical footwear - use the sizing chart! My feet are 11.75” long by 4.75” wide at full splay, and I’m typically a US men’s 12-12.5 in (2-4E wide in “standard” shapes / my Altra Torin 8 in 12 Wide fit near perfect). I ordered these in size 14, and I’m glad I did! They’re a smidge long, but the width is barely adequate with the insoles removed. I hope the canvas will stretch over time. I wish more colors came in size 14!
Pictured next to Pulltops that are 12 Wide.
I'll put it this way . I have not taken the shoes off since I have gotten them. Incredibly comfortable and I love the look of them.
Nice
Most amazing barefoot shoe on the market for casual wear! As stylish as it is comfortable right out of the box! Excellent toe box width and super cute! Have received multiple compliments already and have only worn them 3 times so far. Wide array of colors as well as optional elastic laces and inserts. Would highly recommend the inserts and half size up from normal size in regular shoes. So so pleased and will be ordering another pair on a different color! BTW, the mushroom color is more of an olive green tone but beautiful😍🤩
Barefoot shoe snob here. At least somewhat. I like them thin with maximum ground feedback sometimes, but I don’t like when the whole shoe feels more like a sock. Too light and flexible upper just doesn’t feel stable, like a sock that could basically slip on your foot. These are a good combination of sturdy upper and pretty thin sole. It’s a thicker sole than my favorite barefoot shoes but a really good thickness for my everyday residential construction work. With that, they’re not too thick and bulky either. I think this is more obvious from the photos but worth mentioning from my perspective. I’ve had thinner barefoot shoes and loved them but these are a great best of most worlds shoe. I’ll be getting more colors for more occasions. For now, the one pair of high in mushroom are my everyday work shoes and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.. wait, I didn’t even mention stitched on soles.
My new favorite shoes! They are so comfortable, the perfect color, and can be worn with anything. Will be buying another pair.
Love them! It’s my second pair of high tops, and I want to buy another color. I get many compliments!
Super comfortable and fit great, well worth getting. Glad I picked them to go with, wear mine every day on patrol.
Umm… these are super comfy, lightweight and very flexible. I really like that I didn’t have to break them in and gave me no issues wearing them the whole day on day one. I ordered the stretchy laces but didn’t put them on yet so I think I’ll do that this weekend.
Rutsu customer service was awesome btw… I read have of the sizing chart and ordered an 8M even when adding the 0.5in to length for room… but they were tight since I’m normally a 10 in other shoes… I looked at the chart n saw that I also had to account to my 4in wide feet… which brought it up to the size 8M.
Contacted CS and they were cool and sent me a return label after I sent them pics of the shoes … and then once I sent them a pic of the drop off receipt they sent out the other size next day.
Now I wanna buy a few different colors and maybe some low top versions too.
I love these shoes! They fit my feet perfectly. I have wide feet and I love the way they feel and look. I definitely want to purchase another pair.
After buying 2 pairs of "affordable" minimal shoes off amazon and returning them both because you get what you pay for (and they were so awful) I took the refund and bought 1 pair of Rutsu sneakers. They arrived and I was instantly so happy with their quality, color and feel - but they were too small. Custom service was great, quick to respond and provided a return label. They even helped me make sure that a half size would be sufficient, by asking me to measure my feet. I love these shoes so much, I can't wait to add another pair in a different style & color.
I have been wearing barefoot style shoes for several years now. I haven’t been able to find any that really had the look I wanted or they weren’t comfortable enough. RUTSU nailed both for me! Absolutely love the feel and the look! I bought the black and mushroom boot style while they were on sale. I have purchased another pair in the low that will be arriving today. I can’t say enough about how great these shoes are!
They’re exactly as advertised which is awesome. Super low profile and thin all around! They are incredibly light and feel good around the ankle. I’m happy after a couple days of wearing them for a few hours. Will buy again!
I am loving these shoes so much, they are the perfect balance of all the things I want in a shoe. My toes can spread, I can feel the ground but there's enough cushion to be comfy, and the soles are super flexible. Plus I got the stretch laces so I can slip them on and off. 10/10 best shoes, I hope they hold up to the test of time! I will be buying more in the future!
I love these shoes. I wear them everyday and put a lot of walking on them. I’m on my feet in all types of terrain. I ordered my first pair on 11/13/25. It’s now 7/11/26 and I still have fine tread but it is starting to get a little thin. I just wanted a cleaner looking pair for work and I will wear the older ones at home. Just for reference, I did wear these at work and home. Now it will be a dedicated pair for both. The stitching is holding up nicely too. These are just a solid pair of shoes!
I’m also going to try the massage insoles:)
