Shoes arrived in good time and are comfortable. But their size 11 is too long, they’re more like 13. All the links on the emails they sent don’t work and the website “server cannot be found”. They’ve... See more

I love these shoes, first time buyer & im sure I will be ordering again. I did purchase a 5 1/2 size but realize I didn’t need to allow for skipiness in the quality /sizing & wish I’d bought a size 5.... See more

Product was delivered in reasonable time frame. The barefoot shoes took a little time to get used to them. The sole has a little too much grip when doing chi gung and tai chi but excellent for walk... See more

PureStep is a very clever scam

PureStep is a very clever scam. Search Amazon for cheap barefoot shoes and you'll find the exact same models being sold by dozens of generic Chinese brands for half the price. PureStep buy from the same factories, list the shoes on their fancy website with hefty discounts from artificially over-inflated prices, and use misleading marketing practices like fake reviews and 'as seen on The Sun (no trace), The Wellness Magazine (doesn't exist), and Good Housekeeping' (no trace). They also list their own shoes in fake 'best barefoot shoes' articles and flood Trust Pilot with more fake positive reviews. If you want to try some cheap barefoot shoes, go ahead, but don't expect any support from PureStep when they fall apart a month later.

Shocking response to split shoe

Bought Barefoot hiking shoes from Purestep. They were nice to wear. Then after one month of light use (mainly pavements) the left shoe split. I sent a comprehensive set of photos asking for a refund. Purestep’s response was that there no issue with the shoe. Well Purestep, I hope other customers have a better experience of your product and your customer service than I did!

Purestep barefoot shoes

The shoes are exactly how they are described. Very comfortable and durable. The first week of receiving the shoes I wore them on a 10k hilly off road hike and they did a fantastic job over all kinds of terrain. No slipping and my feet felt fine. Very versatile as can be worn as normal shoes aswell as hiking shoes. Delivery did take quite a long time though but well worth the wait!

Felt the sizes are incorrect

Felt the sizes are incorrect. I measured my feet in the way described on the site but when the shoes came they felt a bit short. They are wearable but only for short periods, and not suitable for hiking. Because of reviews stating that returns can be difficult and expensive, I decided to just keep them as occasional shoes and not for hiking.

The shoes are brilliant

The shoes are brilliant, I have 3 pairs now. The delivery time wasn't too bad the shoes arrived on 13th June. The tracking information was a bit misleading, but the shoes arrived in reasonable time and in perfect condition.

Don’t let them fool you it’s cheap rubbish from china. Don’t bother with the expensive insurance as my parcel was “lost” after 7 days and I still can’t get a refund
This company are scammers
