so far they're great! I was iffy at first with sizing. But after wearing them for some time and letting them break in they're almost perfect! my heal is slightly on the skinny side so with socks they tend to feel more slippery in the shoe, so for me these are so much better with no socks because it sticks and doesn't move! Apparently these are designed to be worn sockless according to the FAQ of the osos page.

I was worried about the socks not fitting inside my Ursus AND with my toe spacers. But nope!! It fits perfect! If you need extra grip on those hard workout days these are great! It might even be more heavy duty than the canvas shoes themselves lol.

Alex G.

The boots I recently purchased are a stylish addition to my wardrobe. The design is both modern and timeless, featuring a classic silhouette with a contemporary twist. The rich brown leather is not only visually appealing but also versatile, allowing me to pair the boots with a variety of outfits. The stitching is meticulous, giving the boots a refined and polished look.I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. These boots are a perfect blend of style and functionality, making them a versatile ...

Happy to have finally received these! Took a while to deliver to Toronto (about a month) but now that I have them, I can say that a) they fit perfectly, Men’s 7 and b) they are a great shoe for their intended purpose (which for me is a grippy neutral shoe for indoor training).

First and foremost, I’m Very happy 🙂 I understand that I’m nitpicking because I’m very satisfied with the product. I will be ordering more in just about whatever color they come up with 🙂 The color, while dope, it wasn’t what I was expecting. So I was slightly disappointed. These are the first minimalist shoes I’ve worn so I’ll need some time to adjust. Ordered 10.5 but I need to order them a 1/2 size bigger to address some slight discomfort. Can’t wait to get another pair.

My correct toes are amazing! I have plantar fasciitis and wore orthotics. I have been able to ditch the orthotics yet my feet no longer suffer., and I typically walk 3-5 (sometimes more) miles a day. I’m so happy to have found this product!

From the moment I contacted a representative about sizing, I have been so very happy about my experience. I love my new shoes, the way they fit, the sizing, color. I can't wait to buy another pair. The first day I wore them, I competed in a local push/pull meet, with confidence.

I was looking for a flat shoe with good quality that will grip. I wanted it for deadlifts and bench. These shoes did not disappoint and they’re very breathable. I can’t wait to wear them in my competition in a few months.

amazing shoe, heard Duffin talking about it on Mikhailas podcast and started doing research about it, man they feel amazing, and they look great, looking forward if you guys could release some boots or for business like apparel

Customer photo review of Krimson Ursus Shoe | Kabuki X Bearfoot - High Top / 11.5

Sean R.

I absolutely love these shoes. I still have my older low tops and these beat those for my favorite squat and deadlift shoes. The comfort, the way you can grab the floor with your feet, and the style is awesome!

Teague K.

Great pair of shoes. Quality is very good And the design is sleek and simplistic. Only complaint is that my ankles are kind of small and I wish the material connecting the laces up was smaller so I could tighten them a bit more with the laces towards the ankles.

Jonathan S.

I knew the size because of a previous order, and these fit perfect no break in required. I use them mostly as my gym shoe but don’t hesitate to wear them around town either. I have worn shoes from multiple minimalist companies and these are one of my favorites I debated getting another pair for dedicated out of the gym wear but am going to get the Bruins instead. I definitely recommend them and won’t hesitate to get another pair if I ever wear these out.

Figured I’d wait a few weeks before giving somewhat of a review. The boots are amazing in my opinion my knees and feet don’t bother me like they used to. I’ve been through dozens of brands of boots that would have my feet and knees hurting by the time I’d get home in the evenings but these ones are nothing like that and as for the bottoms they hold some pretty steep embankments as well which surprised me seeing how the tread depth is not very deep like other boots. All in all I’ll buy another p...

They very much exceeded my expectations. I had very flat feet and my physical therapist told me I would need to wear orthotics for the rest of my life (if I didn't want to have knee and hip pain). I started lifting and discovered the stability of lifting barefoot. Then I discovered Bearfoot Shoes and went full time barefoot/minimalist shoes. My feet have never been stronger and I HAVE NO PAIN. I'll never wear orthotics again, and thats simply amazing. I have a pair for outdoors and a pair for wo...

Hands down, the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. And I like them so Much I didn’t even want to lift in them. I did - and I’ve never been able to root this effectively before. 11 out of 10 would recommend!

Customer photo review of A.W.E.some Wraps

Travis R.

Very versatile wrap! From elbow tendonitis to ankle support these do it all! Really enjoy the sticky adhesive like gel underside that allows the wrap to stay put and stick to itself while secured with the velcro! I use them for elbows on bench, forearms on dead, and elbows for lowbar squat!

Andrew L.

These shoes are everything I was hoping for and more. They have that extremely solid sole like Chucks, but these are flat which creates a much more stable base especially paired with the wide toe box. I’m able to dig my feet into the ground more and create more tension. 5/5 - would highly recommend, especially for the price.

Zack W.

I’m a gym owner, Powerlifter, and Kettlebell instructor. These shoes have changed the game for me. During my heavy lifts and Kettlebell work, I’ve never felt so under control and grounded. I honestly will never train in anything else ever again.

Ursus [LT]

Aaron H.

These shoes are nothing short of amazing. They fit like a glove and the wide toe box instantly enhances foot stability by allowing your foot to move and function like it should! I've recently used this shoe when squatting, deadlifting, pressing, and just about every lift besides cleans & snatches. If you're serious about lifting big weight with great technique, this shoe needs to be on your feet.

Ursus [LT]

Akshay D.

Loved the shoes! Super light and perfect fit!! Highly recommended! Being a student, I was looking for something economical and also one pair that I can use for all exercises squats, deadlifts and in general for all powerlifting workouts rather than buying a separate for each! These fit 100% as per my need :)

I wear these everyday while I work my dog walking job for the past few weeks. I already feel the difference up my kinetic chain! My toes are starting to spread more and more!

Customer photo review of Ursus Suede HT - Black

Bryan W.

I originally bought these shoes because most recent pair of barefoot shoes (zero brand) fell apart on me within the first 4 months. Now I know I destroy my shoes because of my style of working out. That is why I choose the suede over canvas. I also realize my feet may sweat more. That is fine with me. I just need a barefoot shoe that can withstand the abuse I am going to put them through. Given I have only used these shoes for about 3 weeks there isn't a single sign of wear yet. The only thing I...

I ordered these shoes because I squat barefoot and you cannot squat barefoot in a meet. Got these this week and I have done regular squats, Deads, deficit deads and heel elevated squats. These shoes are awesome. The high top does not restrict any ankle mobility. Shoes are comfortable and collapse to fit into the shoe compartment of my FNF backpack. No need for squat shoes just buy these and go hard

Ursus [HT]

Matt S.

INCREDIBLE TRAINING SHOE . One of the major things that I realized when first putting this on is how comfortable they are to wear. Interesting how such a “minimalist” shoe could still be so comfy. Squats, deadlifts and bench just feel so glued in and locked in place. P.S. ****HIGHLY RECOMMEND ORDERING AT LEAST A HALF SIZE DOWN FROM YOUR NORMAL SHOE

Ursus [HT]

Trevor S.

Outrageously comfortable. Thin, flat, and flexible just as described. The large toe box is almost comical, but the comfort I feel walking around in these all day is incredible. I’ll be getting a second pair for lifting as well. The grip is unbeatable. Great product.

Ursus [LT]

Joel P.

I love these shoes! Very comfortable and they really do give me a great feel for the floor. I set a new PR on deadlifts yesterday! I may purchase another pair to wear as casual shoes.

Ursus [HT]

Jon B.

I bought these shoes as a way to stay as close to barefoot as possible . For deadlifts, overhead presses, and low bar squats. And even into accessory work. Having the proprioceptive feedback from direct ground contact is beneficial in keeping me conscious of my body from top to bottom while lifting. These shoes will give you that same feeling with added grip and they are comfortable as all heck. It’s like a tiny baby bear hugging your feet.

John H.

Shoes fit like a glove and the closest thing to have a "barefoot" feel and still have a shoe on. The sole has amazing grip. Best shoe for lifting I have ever tried.

Erica L.

BIG fan! Not only are these comfortable as can be, they have been very fun at the gym! Squat day has never been so technical. Recommending to all my friends, only wish they had a few smaller sizes for women.

Steve

Only used them for one low bar squat workout so far, but I'm already sold. Sizing was pretty much true to size with other shoes. The toe box is roomy and very comfortable and the soles provide great traction. It is great to be able to splay and engage toes during squat set up. Haven't had chucks in 20+ years, but from what I remember of them these are a much better quality. Can't wait to squat again!

Ursus [LT]

Tyson J.

Love em. My heel doesn't slid or feel sloppy, plenty of room in the toe box for natural toe spread and stability, great grip on the ground, they feel solid and still super comfortable and flexible.

Reid C.

I have a hard time finding shoes that fit because of how wide my feet are. These things are PERFECT. I can properly root in them, they're ridiculously comfortable, and they are really grippy. My feet didn't move in the shoe once while I was pulling 705.

Ursus [LT]

Peter N.

A very well-made, handsome looking shoe that does not cut on functionality. I just finished my first training session with them and have never felt more comfortable or rooted to the ground. These will be my go-to shoe for inside and outside of the gym. Bearfoot Athletics, you guys created an awesome product!!

Sofia Y.

Female, intermediately strong, conventional deadlifter here ...So these size 7 Ursus are literally the foot capsules I've been praying for and worth the wait....1 bc I primarily deadlift in socks 2 bc I have a wide foot 3 bc all flat/chuck-like soles that fit my 8.5 wide female foot are not the most durable and/or thin, either have too much give or not enough to root in that "barefoot" way. Not only do they fit, but they fit my simple, neutral gym aesthetic! I deadlifted up to a heavyish singl...

Mick S.

Very comfortable, they allow your feet to work as they should, they also have good grip ,although they are a training shoe I would recommend them even if you just wanted them to walk around at home too, work great for squats and deadlifts, all in all a great shoe

Ursus [LT]

Aaron R.

Best shoe I’ve ever worn and lifted in. I have very wide feet and foot issues from years of football. I HATE almost every shoe and I’ve tried most of them to find a good fit for my messed up feet. From the first time I put them on, they fit perfect and my feet actually have room to root and grip without feeling like the shoe is too big. The grip on the bottom is unreal and you feel like your bound to the floor. I can lift barefoot at my gym and will still use these 100% of the time. Not to menti...

Duke R.

Felt great as soon as I put them on. First day using them and they were great throughout my squat session. They don’t even feel like they need to be broken in. There’s no slipping while rooting into the floor and I could use my feet as if I was barefoot. These are a game changer. Plus they are pretty cool looking.

Ursus [LT]

Christian H.

I just got mine! I really never experienced a shoe that feels like this before. They are so comfortable and my foot just feels so in touch with the earth LOL. I really don’t know how else to put it. Can’t wait to get under a bar with these on!

I have had these boots for about a year. I have put them through some pretty harsh environments. I work construction and I wear them every day. They are hands down the most comfortable boot I have ever worn!
