Di ottima manifattura, calzata barefoot e… sono bellissime!!
Initial impression.. incredible! They look good, they feel good, and they’re surprisingly light. New favorite sandal. I’ll be living in these things.
I’m thrilled with the sandals. I now have a nice flat flexible shoe I can wear everywhere I can’t wear my more casual shoes. I’m all set for the summer. The quality is amazing and I love that I can get these resoled. They are very comfortable, I’ve worn them walking by the dogs and no issues.
These are some of the best sandals and overall best footwear you will ever get a chance to wear. They are all bison leather, with the exception of the vibram outsole, and are an absolute joy to the touch. Nate, the maker of the sandals, is very quick to reply and also accommodating with any requests such as custom sizing (sandal footbed perfectly fits my foot outline).
A word of caution to those not used to minimal footwear or moving barefoot for extended periods: these sandals will strengthen your feet and may take some getting used to, but that's the point. Enjoy!
The most comfortable sandals I’ve ever worn.Seriously! Nate is a fabulous craftsman and truly cares about customer satisfaction. My next pair will be the long range bison.
I can not say enough about these shoes! The customer support has been amazing! The shoe bed feels amazing and the shoe bends with the natural movement of the foot! I’ve tried several barefoot brands and WildStride has exceeded my expeditions! I think the custom option is genius! I went with the standard sizing and will next time do custom since my foot is slightly wider that the standard sizing. That being said, it was my presence to keep it simple and I’ll def be a return customer. Thank you!
I've been wearing 4 other barefoot shoes for the past year now, this being my 5th added to the collection and officially my favorite barefoot shoe and sandal of all time. You really don't need anything else, such a simple design, beautiful unique leather, I'm obsessed. I had it customized since I'm somewhat duck footed, the width and length are perfect. This is high quality work, I recommend this to everyone. My friends and family plan on grabbing a pair of their own!
These are by far my favorite footwear, bar none. I have tried numerous barefoot/minimalist brands in the quest for the perfect sandal/shoe, purchasing from almost all of the major brands and having custom pairs made from numerous companies. Nate makes the best footwear that I have been able to find, at a more than reasonable price given the quality and handmade nature of his sandals. I was able to fully customize the footbed shape and width, have the buckle placement and strap length adjusted to accommodate my high volume feet, and send the sandals back for complimentary micro-adjustments to get the exact perfect fit. Nate is a pleasure to purchase from, always agreeable to any idea or request, with additional beautiful leather options beyond even the website stock. The sandals themselves fit perfectly, with expert American craftsmanship from the finest American leathers.
Nate was awesome to work with. Super quick, really understanding, and made the whole process easy. I have wide feet and usually wear barefoot shoes like Vivo, Xero, or wide toe box options like Barebarics and Altra. Nate created a custom fit that actually works for my feet, which is rare.
The quality is seriously impressive. The leather looks and feels amazing, and the overall style is a 10 out of 10. If you like the look of Birkenstocks but want something more minimal, with no grooves in the footbed and a cleaner profile, these are exactly what you’re looking for.
Ignore the assumptions you might see on Reddit questioning whether this company is legit. These sandals are the real deal. I couldn’t be happier with mine.
Phenomenal work and customer service. Asked great questions regarding what I wanted and how. Highly recommend these comfy, and awesome slides!
Beautiful and so comfortable. Amazing customer service as theyre real people. Love that its american made and my custom request with no heel strap came out amazing. Thank you thank you!
Couldn't wait for these to arrive! The quality is insanely amazing. The leather is soft and beautiful. I've been looking for a barefoot style sandals for a while. These check all the boxes of what I was looking for style wise and comfort wise and beyond. Looking forward to wearing them all summer and beyond. Thank you! (And they are made right here in the US!!)
From service, to packaging, to sandal these are top quality. I’ve tried a fair few sandals and have a pair that I thought would be my go to’s for life. After receiving these that could well change. Looks are unparalleled. The bison leather is a really interesting change. I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up a pair. They’re even better in person.
I have been wanting Birkenstock sandals forever and finally got some for my birthday last year. I don’t know if it’s just me, but the cork really hurt to stand on all day. These sandals give the same vibe and are cute and stylish without hurting my feet. The leather felt a bit tight the first 1–2 days, but I noticed it stretched out and softened very quickly. You don’t have to wear them long before they start molding to your feet, it took maybe 3 days for me and they said it will keep getting better. The barefoot sole does feel a bit weird at first since you can feel everything on the ground as if you were barefoot, but without any discomfort. It takes a minute to get used to that feeling, but I love them now. The inside it’s very soft, I have felt relief wearing these after getting blisters from high heels, they don’t rub on you. I’ve always loved being barefoot, and these sandals give me that same experience without exposing my feet to the actual ground (because yuck) 😅
These sandals are perfect! The craftsmanship is very impressive, and so is the company. I’ve been looking for this kind of quality for a long time! Nate delivers! Awesome sandals. You won’t be disappointed!
