FLOW 2 Barefoot Training Shoes

Pretty solid experience in terms of flexibility and groundfeel. They feel pretty durable. One minor issue though is I wouldn’t recommend wearing them with foot socks straight out of the box. Started getting friction blisters on the back of my ankles.

This is my new gym shoe and I'm pleased I went with them. I think they're a good mix of sustainable materials, quality, and value. I measured my foot as per their sizing chart instructions – I was between a size and ordered the next size up and they fit really well.

A bit disappointed

I’m a bit disappointed. Basically, I had expected an evolved, more refined version of the original Flow (which I really like) rather than a shoe that feels so different. Despite having the same size rating, the Flow 2 is both wider and longer. A firmer material has been added alongside the knit - this increases durability but comes at the expense of comfort. The heel section is higher and causes uncomfortable rubbing when wearing no-show socks. The Flow 2 isn't a bad shoe, but it doesn't have much in common with the first version anymore and it isn't as comfortable for me to wear.
