I bought these shoes about six months ago and have worn them everyday since. They are incredible I once walked 30,000 steps in a day with them and felt totally fine. If they ever wear out I’m definitely buying them again.

Have several pairs! Super comfortable and easy to adjust to your preferred fit. Great customer service as well! Highly recommended!

Toetem sandals are awesome! So comfortable and great fitting adjustments! Great customer service as well!

I've been looking for the right sandals for a long time. I like the minimal foot bed with the flip flop style straps. I have a high instep, so most flip flops don't work for me. The elastic in these straps is a complete game changer. I find them more comfortable than my Birkenstocks, more stable than my earth runners, with an awesome casual appearance.

I’ve been wearing barefoot sandals for 11 years now as my main hiking and running shoes. I’ve tried many brands and was a shamma loyalist for 8 of those years… until finding toetem. You guys knocked it out of the park with the hemp foot bed. Now when I walk through rivers, or sweat my feet don’t slide everywhere. I don’t have to tighten them to an absurd level to get my foot to stay in place. If I want to tighten them, I just slide the foot strap up the toe thong and BAM, I’m in sport mode. Theres no plastic to dig into my foot when I tighten it either. The top of my foot would regularly bleed on 10+ mile hikes with my shamans from that damn plastic piece. If I want to wear them casually slip-on-slip-off style, I just move the strap down the toe thong a little and it’s good to go. After a year of HARD use now, I can say they are very durable, and seem they will last at least another couple of years. To the guy who said these are abrasive, I just can’t fathom what he’s talking about… maybe the dude has super soft feet??? Anyways, they’re certainly NOT abrasive. Don’t bother with any other brand. These folks have it locked down.

ALPHA Leather BlackBear - 5mm Black

I have cycled through many pairs of Vivos, Xero, and Merrell barefoot shoes, and these are the best in their class. I use them for everything, but notably they are excellent for running. The Toetem team is excellent and creates excellent shoes which I highly recommend. (This is my second pair, for the house— my OG pair is still going strong for runs and outdoor).

Replaced the factory straps on a pair of Luna Origens with the Black Bear strap kit. The factory straps just dug in too much after a while on my feet and had a tendency to loosen on my wide and high volume feet (I’m 10EEEE in US men’s.) Restrapped sandals feel way more secure, and provide better adjustability for my foot width. Comfort with the new straps is improved as well; the slightly padded nature of the straps being sewn fabric and hook-and-loop vs just plain nylon strapping is a nice bonus.
While I did have to spend a good bit of time on getting my Luna footbeds to fit the side posts and the anchor tabs, I attribute that more to the fact that the Luna Origens are recycled tire sole, not really designed to be turned into a sandal to begin with nor modified at will by owners. Hardest part, for me, was pulling the side strap anchor tabs through the fairly-inflexible tire rubber.

I ordered in early September and cold weather hit sooner than I had wanted, so I have not had much chance to wear the sandals with these straps, but the construction and materials feel durable; at least as durable as my Bedrocks or the factory Luna straps.

A small suggestion for Toetem: my ankle bones sit pretty high up on my foot. The side posts as installed on my Origens sit about 1.75”/44.5mm below my ankle bones. Maybe taller sideposts as a selectable option in the future if people want a bit more security around the heel?

I like my new Toteam sandals: they are simple, light, very comfortable. My first pair.

I run trail and road races in minimalist shoes. The sandals on the market just don’t measure up to these Toetem’s. I’ve got almost 50 miles in these so far, and they’ve performed excellent. Comfortable. Versatile. Durable. I only look forward to getting the thinner ones for my daily use so I have more ground feel when doing errands and non-sport.

The leather is so soft and the top straps are excellent! Not abrasive at all and fit very comfortably! Just fantastic sandals!

I wear these almost every day! It’s so hard to find shoes that are both plastic-free and vegan. There is a break-in period. Push through it! It’s worth it!

Purchased in the outlet and they are in very good condition. Just wish they had the “T” logo on the side post like the non outlet ones. Can’t complain about the function as they break in fast and are super comfortable. Love the adjustable positioning of the top strap for whatever adventure you’re doing.

Love the fit. The leather is really comfortable. if unsure on sizing, print out the foot guide, u cant go wrong. FYI for asian delivery, pls be very patience as it will take up to 20 working days to reach you.

I have been asked where I got these at least ten times. Super comfortable. Fit like a glove
