pros: pretty much what I expected. These are extremely comfortable. I would order a half size smaller than your normal size. The sole is thick enough and hard enough to wear outside but not so much that you wouldn't wear it inside.

this is a good shoe to wear as a minimalist shoe if you are a barefoot enthusiast. Although the sole is a bit thick for that i think it may work.

Cons: they stink. the shoes showed up clearly clean and unused but they already smelled like feet. Maybe they were just sewn in a funky factory.
since they're cotton i would wonder if washing them will shrink them. haven't tried yet but Be cautious about hot water or drying.
yes, they are slippery on hardwood etc, but it's not an issue if you're just walking around. I did do a few kicks and there is a danger if you are practicing martial arts, but that is not my intended use.

5 stars if they were not smelly and if the sole were thinner.  Permalink
