How does the zero-drop sole benefit my feet?
The zero-drop sole helps in promoting natural foot alignment, reducing stress on joints, and supporting a more natural walking gait, which can enhance overall foot health.
Love these shoes. I have 5 pairs now.
Comfortable and light weight. I can feel the ground like my other barefooters. Appear to be durable. I've only worn them a few times. But keeping them in my work shoe rotation
Very happy with my purchase. I will be buying more in the future.
These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I travelled to and walked all around SF and DC and these were the only shoes I wore. I had no back or hip pain, and more energy. I’m truly amazed. Will be buying more pairs because I don’t like how even my formerly favorite tennies feel anymore.
CanI just say WOW! I have been wearing zero drop shoes for a few years,I bought myself and my family quite a few pairs from that one brand that does lots of social media. Quality varies from shoe to shoe and they don't really have a wide toebox.
I was hesitant to try these but the work shoes from the other brand seem to always be out of stock and even though I Thought I wanted a low top, my sizewas out of stock so I ordered the high top.
I did the stretchy laces and they are my most favorite shoes ever! So so comfy, even standing at a restaurantall day.they could be slightly grippier on a buttery slick floor (I work at a lobster joint) they are fantastic besides that!
Shoes delivered promptly. I do enjoy the feel of these shoes. My toes are not squished together, and the thinner sole does give me a similar feeling of being barefoot. I enjoy walking barefoot so these are nice. my feet have high arches and I can walk all day in these shoes. The best part is the grip (not quite as grippy as traditional skate shoes) and durability. I play disc golf and work 9+ hours a day, and my shoes still look new after a month. I ordered 10s when my shoes size is 9 1/2 and I’m glad I did.
Great wide toe box barefoot feel that are non slip for work. Love em
I love them! They are so cute, and fit great. They have been serving me well at work for the past week, and I added some gel insoles for extra oomph while I run around all shift.. I have recommended them to my coworkers as well. :)
SO comfortable! I didn't realize how much my toes can stretch while walking and how much it contributes to pain relief.
I’ve spent an ungodly amount of money on shoes this year. I struggle with foot pain and my podiatrist molded my feet for custom insoles but they weren’t enough to stop all the other issues I was having such as a bunion on my toe joint, hammer toes..haha
I splinted my hammer toes and started using toe spacers, which seemed to help but then my regular shoes hurt even more. I always thought that shoes with thicker soles and more cushioning were best for pain, so I was really afraid to go against that expectation.
I went to Rustu as a last effort, and I am so, so happy I did. The first thing I’ve always done when I get home from work is rip my shoes off, but these are so comfortable I could sleep in them. Not even exaggerating :’) They are lounge worthy!
I placed my orthotic insole underneath the memory foam Rustu insole that comes in the shoe, and my pain from shoes is completely gone. My biggest foot issue will still require surgery, but in the meantime, these shoes have truly improved my quality of life. It’s just a shoe, but for me it really changes a significant part of my life. I’m so glad the ads reached me!
Thin sole shoes for the win! Can’t wait to get more colors.
Great pair of shoes. Very comfortable. True to size. Awesome style.
Gift for my girlfriend and she loved them!!
Very comfortable. Easy to move around and keeps your feet mostly ventilated. Get the cork insoles, those make the shoes very comfortable. Sizing was just right.
Because of these shoes I want to change my whole shoe closet to nothing but RUTSU!
First time trying these, I walked in light rain on wet asphalt and stayed upright, no slipping. My socks didn’t even get damp. My feet also didn’t get sore from expected first-time-itis, also known as the breaking-in period. They were just …. comfortable. KEEPERS.
Great soles, comfy, stays remarkably clean. I am quite happy with these, especially the non-slip soles which are really helpful.
The loss of orthopedic sole is algamated by the high ankle support. Usually have foot pain after standing for 8hrs but two weeks in I'm happy. They are great nonslip, however pick up debris in the tread whick can be removed by a simple knocking together at the end of day. Overall two thumbs up!!!
Awesome, very comfortable shoes. Definitely will recommend to others.
Love my Rutsu shoes. They are so comfortable, allow my foot to stretch out and my foot to feel so responsive!
Comfortable and nice looking.
Yeah
...
Rutsu is kinda the best thing to happen to my feet...
Thank you
As a cafe manager I’ve been looking for an entry-level barefoot kitchen shoe and these are solid. The nonslip functions well, but are very loud when you walk over water onto dry floors and leave tracks worse than other shoes I’ve had.
Also, the soles are super pillowy (which is not my preference - i changed them for cork soles, but I’m sure people looking for a super cushioned sole will appreciate it).
Overall definitely more comfortable than the Birkenstocks I was wearing before, but there isn’t a large enough selection of shoes like this for me to be willing to give it 5 stars.
Great nonslip sole and I find them very comfortable wearing all day.
This was my first time trying Rutsu. They are incredibly light, the slip resistant heal works well, and there has been minimal adjustment to a barefoot shoe.
Great shoes fabric is a little bit thicker than I expected but high-quality
Already had a pair of the regular ones and love them. When I saw these work ones pop up on the website I picked them up right away. They are awesome as well.
i like them. they feel pretty good and getting comfortable.
