I’m a little chunka monk, so things need to be tiny, but also able to have some “give.” These are beyond expectation! They’re flexible, comfortable and truly remind your feet to work with your body, versus other more narrow and confining foot wear I normally mess with. First lift went great! Will keep y’all posted 😎

My husband and I both work in sports medicine and are functional movement specialists. We love wearing these socks with the correct toes and splaycers also purchased through Bearfoot. We tell all of our clients about Bearfoot and the benefits their products provide. Thanks Bearfoot.

I was stoked there was a canvas option. I will never wear leather, so it’s nice when I can find a good design incorporated without it. I am usually a USA men’s 9.5, so I was a little nervous about a ten. However, there was no need to worry. Loose enough to be extremely flexible, just like I’d want out of a barefoot shoe, but tight enough to have a firm grip on the floor when it counts on deadlifts and bench press. I only wear them at the gym when I am doing powerlifting training, but I think the...

I’m a 7 footer w a size 16 wide / double wide foot. I bought the bruins in July 2023, since then my foot pains have gone away. I have put a beating on them, miles and miles hiking in national parks & on the job site. I have since purchased one of every shoe they make. If you have had foot pains and a hard time finding a shoe / boot that feel good and are wide enough for your feet check out Bearfoot. Those gorillas in north dakota know what they are doing when it comes to your foot health and ma...

Took these out on a camping trip on their first maiden voyage and they did not disappoint. Hiked about 3 miles with no issues or hot spots and they held up to some rain and wet grass without issue. Basically just brushed them off after the trip and they look like new. They feel wonderful and allow my toes to spread wide and not feel cramped up. I’ve tried all types including Lems which are nice but these feel better on my feet. The leather seems super durable and the soles feel like they will h...

Finally getting around to writing a review on these Bruins! The customer service was on point and they went above and beyond to help me size to a perfect fit. I have been trying these out for a few weeks now and they are probably the most comfy boots I own and I have a lot of boots, Lems, RedWings, Arcteryx, etc. I love the way my foot feels in these and have full movement of my toes. The leather smells great and looks great. Once these mold to your feet they are super comfy. I got to take...

The stitching seems to be fraying fairly quickly. I’ve worn them for about a week. Love the shoe. The way it feels when you walk is totally different than normal shoes. Other then the stitching I have 0 complaints.

I’ve had these shoes for about a month, and I have used them with deadlifts, squats, farmers walk and yoke. The best compliment is that I do not notice them at all.

Good boot, fits well. Had a small piece of metal on one of the rivets for the laces to go through that was shredding the lace but was able to file it down. Happy with purchase, looking forward to my shoes coming in the mail!

As a visually impaired athlete being able to feel the floor when I lift is very important in having a successful lift. The bear foot shoes allow me to really feel about my positioning and complete each lift with proper form that other shoes limited.

Angelino R.

These shoes are super cool they look like king Fu movie shoes. I tried using them for running but one of them ripped so I'm gonna buy another pair. Use them for casual and weightlifting just don't run in them. Also, buy half a size smaller than your normal and they for nice and snug.

sizing is slightly big however I feel this maybe be due to not being used to shoes that fit THIS WELL & THIS PROPERLY! There’s so much room for my toes & my feet don’t feel uncomfortable at all. In addition, they also feel very well supported!

I recently had an extreme leg and foot injury. This injury made it so I had to learn to walk again. Your shoes are the only thing I could get my foot in. The open toe design is amazing. I am now walking and getting stronger every day. Well worth the money. I recommend them 100%

I've had my boots for a few months now and these are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. I've had knee problems for years now and I swear my knees don't hurt any more. I've been wearing these boots exclusively for months, wore them during my 2 week trip to Scotland and was walking 10,000+ steps daily. My knees and feet didn't hurt or feel tired during that trip. I'm a believer and won't switch back to any other shoe brand.

Great overall shoe. Was using converse for years. These have greatly improved my positioning when I’m under the bar. Everything feels great and I’m thankful for another great product. Mr.castle7 IG

Awesome shoe. The fit is amazing Perfect amount of padding and give to accomodate any terrain from bush walks to gravel to tarmac and obviously amazing tactile feel in the gym. Daily driver for sure. Only gripe is the loose material around the stitching which I tidied up with scissors

As a welder these are awesome! The toe tip height could fit better if it was taller rather than coming to the edge. I will be buying these regularly. And I didn't like the color of the green laces but that is easy to change. Love these boots grateful I found them.

My Bruins have been working cattle, hiking through the Colorado mountains and even fighting a small brush fire. THE most comfortable and durable boots I’ve had in a long time. Love ‘em.

I now have three pairs of bearfoot shoes and love them. My wife has cut me off till I wear out the pairs I have which may take a while.

They feel great with or without socks. I bought them to deadlift in but I like benching in them as well as hitting SSB squats or good mornings in them, too. I wear them with the deadlift splay socks. Great combo. I can really feel the floor and let my toes splay and grip so I really stay in my legs. My feet feel very rooted in them. They are also super sleek. I could wear these out walking around or at a social gathering. I’ve worn them to train clients in and I get asked, ‘what are thos...

Awesome Socks! Great grip and flexibility. Perfect for everyday wear and/or working thru foot mobility and stability exercises. Perfect first step if you are easing into the world of barefoot by giving you something to wear around the home and gym as you strengthen your feet and improve balance.

These boots are great. I really like them. I had to return my first pair because hey arrived damaged. That’s okay though, these things happen and Bearfoot replaced them at no cost to me. My Bruins were instantly comfortable and I feel like my feet and ankles are protected in them. I will likely buy a pair in black when they launch because I like them that much.

11.5s pictured here Love them! Fit is comfortable and roomy for toes! Have to size the 1/2 size up from normal(I normally wear a size 11)! I also own a pair of lt ursus, v1 and v2 trainers(also work nicely inside the shoes themselves). Glad to see another minimalist shoe maker who cares about foot function over purely aesthetic design!

My husband loves his shoes. They are super comfortable and look amazing on him. Can't wait to get my gummy bears so I can see what all the fuss is about ❤

I hope this pic showed the shoes. I absolutely love them! They allow my toes to function with the rest of my foot during weightlifting. I was worried my feet would hurt if I walked in them all day and they did not! I need more!

These shoes are awesome! Got them in a couple weeks before competing at USS Nationals where I came in 4th in mens open 220s. Shoes performed perfectly! Very satisfied and recommend to everyone!

Love these shoes! They have a different bottom from the other canvas shoes and I’m not sure what it is but it’s better! My other regular canvas shoes the bottom material would bunch up and like wrinkle under my feet. These shoes aren’t doing that and they’re super comfy and great!

I have nerve damage in my right foot from a horse stepping in me and shoes irritate the hell out of me. NOT THESE! I wore them all day, without socks even! No pain, no irritation of the nerve damage and no leg pain that usually comes after walking and working outside all day. My only wish is that I could have a pair of work boots like these!!

After a week in the Ursus as my everyday shoe - my first "minimalist" shoe after years of wearing the clunkiest items in the Nike and Adidas lineup - knee issues I've had for over a decade have significantly improved, as has a lingering calf pain and tightness I've been dealing with since a back injury a year ago. As expected with everything Chris puts his name on, these live up to the hype. High quality and incredibly comfy, too!

Ursus are boss! My primary squat and deadlift shoe, but feel like slippers with the best grip of any shoe available. Best ‘barefoot’ shoe I have had that allows true rooting. Love what you all are doing!

Have been using these for bench and deadlift for the last couple of weeks. Love the way they feel, almost feels like I’m barefoot but with a little protection. Toes are able to spread out and they are comfortable on my ankles. Love them enough that I ordered another pair, in the LT 💚🖤

I've seen Tom Haviland wear these boots for a good long while. Found the page through a tag in one of his posts. Honestly was a bit skeptical at first. But I actually ordered two pair. Kabuki red in suede and the black suede. Had the black ones for about two weeks and I gotta say, there are freakin awesome! They fit great, flexible, and my feet honestly feel so much better in these already. 11/10. Between. The gym, yardwork, running, and everyday whatever, these do just fine. We shall see how t...

I had to stretch the toe out a little. (bad toenails, my fault not yours) they look great. Feet are still getting used to it. First pair of minimalist boots. Great quality

These are doing what I need them to do. I recently switched to minimalist bare foot shoes. I experienced nearly all the common benefits that folks rave about. The switch even helped with my right knee which is arthritic, I don't know if it is because of bad luck or ideology of narrow shoes. However, when the season changed here in NYC I needed a more sturdy leather shoe that could take all that the city could offer in terms of abuse and or yuck factor , so I went back to my old standbys o...

These toe spacers are actually great because they are NOT made of super soft silicone that I’ve tried. The silicone ones don’t stay in position and slip whereas these stay in place and actually don’t cause any discomfort (I think because they are cleverly sized!) I’ve found them really comfy and easy to use.

I bought my first pair of LTs last summer. I wore them every where! For work, for lifting, for football practice (coaching), for church, and everything you can imagine. They are abbey the best shoe period. I saw the email about the pre-order for the new ice gray. That Nighy my son woke up in the middle of the night right when the pre-order opened so rocking him back to sleep I pre-ordered some HT ice grays and correct toes. These have now become my sole lifting shoes. I have been easing into t...

I took these bad boys to Costa Rica to break em in on a backpacking trip and omfg I absolutely adore them. I wore them in the water, on hikes, at the gym, on walks, zip lining etc!! I love em so much honestly they are so comfy and I love how I can wear socks or not with em! They are lovely and keep ur feet super cool even in blistering hot weather 🥰

When I bought from them the first time I was told to get a 12.5 which was a little big so I ordered a 12. These fit much better. Ive been wearing them every day for two weeks with no problems and I plan on buying the suede ones later!
