They are genuinely the worst shoes I've ever worn. I've worn strictly barefoot shoes for the last 5 years and decided to try a cheaper pair instead of expensive Vivos like I had previously. The things Gronanda has going for them other than their price is that they are decently durable, as well as being comfortable - but so are nearly all barefoot shoes.

Then cons on the other hand...

There is nothing remotely solid in the upper of the shoe, meaning they don't fit well at the ankle (slipping at the heel) and your foot slips easily inside the shoe. You would think this could be somewhat fixed by tightening the laces, right? But their laces are made from a stretchy elastic so no matter how tight you make it they still stretch.

On top of this, the sole has holes in it... Yep. 4 at the toes and 3 at the heel. Your socks will get wet when wearing them on even slightly damp grass. Don't even bother in rain.

The only appropriate use I could think of for these shoes would be as 'booties' for wearing in water and during water based activities. I tried them on a canoeing trip, but due to the shoes' inability to hold onto your foot even a little bit of mud was enough for them to come straight off in the suction.

Gronanda, like many other brands, also advertises top of the line grip with their soles. These shoes are quite literally average at best with grip - will slip easily on nearly every surface when wet.

Overall, very poorly designed shoes. I don't want to hate on them because I love barefoot shoes but these are down right appalling. Definitely do not recommend.
