Brown Hemp BlackBear 3.0 - Green Straps - Barefoot 5mm

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.

Too abrasive, not comfortable for running or a long walk. I will stick to my Luna Sandals.

I have tried many brands thanks to Anya’s reviews and these are the most comfortable, in my experience. I really have not worn any others this summer. I do a lot of walking, the hemp sole feels amazing .

I’m loving my new Black Bear sandals! They are so lightweight and comfortable, you hardly notice you have anything on your feet. At the same time, they are rugged and durable no matter what activity you're doing.You cannot go wrong if you’re looking for a quality handmade, go anywhere, do anything sandal. I highly recommend them!
