I recently bought a pair of Nutrail Cross Sport to use for my daily walk/run and for working out at the gym. I've worn barefoot shoes since 2005, and have experience with a number of companies and styles. I remain on the lookout for new companies and new options. I also want to support US-made barefoot shoes from small companies, as I find the quality to be outstanding. SOM hits it out of the park with this shoe, they are really well made, sizing is on point, and they meet all my barefoot shoe check boxes. I live in Oregon, so the waterproof fabric is necessary now that rainy season has arrived, and I love the fit. As another reviewer said, I feel like I'm wearing slippers. Thanks SOM for making awesome barefoot shoes!
