Customer video review of Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

I’m super happy with these shoes! At first I was a little disappointed because they arrived without a box and got slightly squished during shipping. But after wearing them for a short time, they quickly returned to shape and there are no creases at all. They are incredibly comfortable and very soft. Also, they don’t look like cheap barefoot shoes — they actually look like stylish regular sneakers. The color is beautiful, they feel amazing on the feet, and overall I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase!

This is my 5th pair of shoes I've ordered from you all. Amazing. I bought the 8.5 US size and my feet have a ton of room for all our family activities. I love these for daily use! I do have to change the insoles out, they do not support my feet well. So 4/5. I will continue to buy these shoes regardless of my preference of insole.

Shipped quickly! Size up. I took someone’s advice that these run small so I sized up. This is my fourth pair. I use the green for daily hiking. Lasted 6 months, great for a $37 daily hiker. Love feeling the trail through my shoes. Orange pair are my fun shoes. They don’t take the beating that my others do. They’ll last a long time! Comfy.

I've been wearing them for about a week now and really enjoy them. I followed the instructions they had online I think they want you to size up a half a size and it fit great.

These shoes climbed Machu Picchu! I’ve been wearing Saguaro barefoot shoes for a while, and my feet have gotten so much stronger. Foot pain from neuromas and plantar fasciitis has gone away. And now, I’m so excited to be able to use a barefoot hiking shoe. I loved having the dexterity to navigate the terrain! They’re comfortable and stylish for everyday wear too.

Customer video review of Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

I've toyed with the idea of buying barefoot shoes for ages - a combination of persuasion by no.1 son, who swears by them, and finally discovering Saguaro who makes them affordable and I took the plunge! I literally want to chuck all my other shoes away now - these are the future! As someone who gets irritated by clothes that are too tight/too loose/scratchy etc. these are shoe perfection! Now if only they made bras...

I’m really enjoying these shoes, they feel great on my feet and they’re super cute!

This is my first pair and I do like them a lot except for the yellow stains within my shoelaces which is odd. I usually wear a 42 in European shoes but I have a 43 in these and my toes are at the end so I assume they must runp very small

I ordered a pair for myself and my boyfriend, and we both love them! They look great and feel great! The only downside is that I have an issue with the laces not staying tied unless I double knot them. Could be user error. TIP: MEASURE BOTH of your feet before you buy!! I learned that one of my feet is longer than the other AFTER I bought, so I had to request a new pair. Saguaro handled my problem quickly and got me another pair ASAP! They even let me keep my first pair to give to someone who has smaller feet. 1000% reccommend Saguaro. I will update the review after I've had them for a while so I can attest to their longevity. As of now, I have had them for about a week and a half.

I have never experience this feel from when I was a child. They are so comfortable, soft and amazing. I’ve ordered 3 more pairs which includes a running pair. I have got rid of my trainers that were not letting my feet breathe & my feet felt squashed. I would definitely recommend barefoot shoes to everyone.

It was my first barefoot shoes try, and I loved it.I used it about a week, and I'm really fasinated with this shoes. It has wide toe box and also has very light weight that doesn't make me tired of weight.

It's a very good purchase experience with this cute orange colored pair of shoes. The size is a little small, so I need an exchange. The seller asked me not to return the first pair and sent me another pair of bigger size which fitted perfectly. I was amazed by the smooth solution and good service. Will definitely come back for more shoes!

Love this shoe. The photo is of my older pair that I over used and hence made a new order of another pair. This has become my goto shoe for everyday wear. By everyday I mean for work, walks, and almost all outings!

I love these shoes! They are super comfortable and I love the color. I originally ordered the wrong size by mistake and customer service took really good care of me. I got a new pair in the right size and they told me to donate the other pair to someone in need, which I did. Fantastic shoes, and fantastic company!

These are my 4th pair of Saguaro shoes and again I am perfectly pleased! Since my others are true barefoot shoes, I bought these to replace winter everyday shoes. The wide toe box design sure helps with a left big toe ingrown toenail. No more pinched and tender toes! Thank you!

They’ve been great! I’ve been using them to run and so far they’ve been super comfortable. I wear them everyday they are breathable and don’t feel too tight on my feet.

Nice light shoe. I like the wide forefoot fit. It's great for carrying with you on little adventures but still go for my big hiking shoes for anything longer than 7-8Km. Sole a little soft on the rockier hikes, but put in an Altra sole barrier that helped with that.

I've worn barefoot style shoes for my exercise and workouts in the past. It's the best! These Saguaros feel great and look great too. So happy to have them!

Customer photo review of Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

I ordered a white pair for my husband, but they arrived yellow-stained. Contacted customer service and requested an exchange, but since these were clearance items, they said no returns were needed and would send me another pair. I agreed to the new pair and requested that these would not be stained. Unfortunately, the second pair was also stained. I will not purchase again from this company, though the intentions may be good, the quality may be questionable.

Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback, and thank you for giving us two chances. We are very sorry that both pairs of shoes you received were discoloured; this is indeed disappointing, and we fully understand your dissatisfaction. This situation is most likely due to clearance items having been stored in the warehouse for an extended period, causing some of the upper materials to oxidise and discolour. This was not intentional on our part, but it does highlight our oversight and has resulted in a very poor experience for you. We will arrange for a customer service representative to contact you as soon as possible to offer a full refund; there is no need for you to return these two pairs of shoes. At the same time, we will report this issue to our warehouse and quality control teams to strengthen outgoing inspections of clearance items and prevent similar incidents from occurring again. Once again, we apologise to you and your husband for this poor experience. Thank you for your honesty; it has helped us identify the problem and make improvements. 🙏

Been a long time since I had a pair of shoes I put on when I wake up and take off when I go to bed...really comfortable and have been great for hiking and biking in the Black Hills. And the customer service was amazing - the first pair were a size too small and all it took was 5 minutes on their website to get the return set up and new pair coming. And this pair arrived just in time for our trip to South Dakota. So glad I bought these - I'll be getting more (slightly less bright) when we're back home!

I ordered all white shoes and the tongue was yellow. The packaging wasn't stained yellow so they had to have happened before and the shoe were sent anyway.

Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that the tongue of the white shoes you received was yellowed. According to your description, this issue existed before shipping, which was indeed our oversight and caused you a very unpleasant unboxing experience. We sincerely apologize for this. We have recorded your situation in detail and will arrange for a customer service specialist to contact you as soon as possible to offer you either a free replacement pair of shoes or a full refund. You can choose whichever you prefer. We apologize again for this oversight and thank you for your patience and understanding.

These are my usual size but i am surprised my toes are right on the end of the shoe.

Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Store owner replied: Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the size doesn’t feel right. While our barefoot shoes are designed with a roomy toe box for natural toe splay, your toes shouldn’t be pressing against the end. We'd be happy to help you find a better fit. A member of our customer service team will contact you shortly to arrange a free exchange to a more suitable size. Thanks for giving us the chance to make it right.

My other pink/orange pair are awesome! I just don’t know what happened to the fabric of these during shipping. I’d simply like an exchange. I love y’all shoes!

Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Store owner replied: Hi there, thank you so much for your message and for sharing the photos. It's wonderful to hear that you love your other pair! ❤️ We're sorry to see the discoloration on the new pair. This can occasionally happen during shipping or storage due to a reaction with the materials , but it's definitely not the condition you should receive a new product in. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment. We'd be happy to arrange a free exchange​ for you right away. A member of our customer service team will contact you shortly via email to coordinate sending out a fresh new pair and will provide you with a prepaid return label for the current ones.

Customer video review of Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Great shoe, unfortunately still not wide enough for my feet 😢

Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Store owner replied: Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and the video – it’s incredibly helpful for us to see and understand your experience. We’re really glad to hear that you think it’s a great shoe, but we’re truly sorry that the width still wasn’t sufficient for your feet. Providing a spacious, comfortable toe box is a core part of our barefoot design philosophy, so we sincerely appreciate you letting us know where we fell short for you. We’ve made a note of your specific experience regarding the fit and will pass this along to our product team. It’s feedback like yours, especially with such clear context, that helps us critically evaluate our designs. Thanks again for your honesty and for helping us improve. We hope to have a pair that fits you perfectly in the future.

Shoes arrived with yellow stains. Sizing is a bit inconsistent, too. I normally wear a size 38, but it seems this model runs smaller. I had high expectations from my previous order which was perfect.

Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback, and especially for your support as a returning customer. We sincerely apologize for the shoes. We completely understand your disappointment regarding the yellow stain and the size discrepancy, and we deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our customer service team will contact you shortly to resolve this issue immediately. Regarding the yellow stain, this may occasionally be due to oxidation of the materials during storage or transportation. While home cleaning methods may help, please don't bother with it—our focus is on providing you with a flawless product. Your observation about the fit is very insightful. Even with the same size label, different shoe models may have slight differences due to the unique lasts (shoe molds) used. Your experience will help us improve our sizing guide. We recommend that you choose the correct size based on your foot length and the specific shoe model's size chart in the future for the most accurate fit. We have submitted your feedback on the stain and sizing to our quality control team; your opinions are crucial to our continuous improvement. Thank you for your trust and patience.

Customer video review of Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Size 11 was too big I almost positive I ordered a 44 I’ve had the exact same pair in black and they were the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. However this time they are just too big. I’ve had the same issue with vivobarefoot and lens lately that there is no standard like there used to be.

Forestep Ⅰ - Barefoot Shoes

Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback, and especially thank you for trying our shoes again as a returning customer. We apologize that this wearing experience differed from your previous "most comfortable shoes," which must have caused you confusion. We checked your order history, and the size you received this time is EU 45. We completely understand your feeling of "no uniformity." However, according to your order history, you previously purchased a size 44, which may explain why you felt the sizing was inconsistent. Please rest assured, we would be happy to arrange a free size exchange for you. Our customer service specialist will contact you to assist you in exchanging for the correct size (e.g., EU 44). We always strive to provide you with a consistently comfortable experience. We apologize again for this inconsistency and thank you for your patience and trust. Customer service will contact you shortly.

A bit disappointed that the white rubber oxidized to the point of turning yellow when the shoes arrived, so perhaps not stored very well prior to shipping? However I got these on sale, so I guess I’ll keep them. Other than that, they are comfortable shoes, hence the 3 star rating
