Love the 3 sets of insoles

This is my first experience with barefoot shoes. I read a ton of reviews and watched a ton of videos before deciding to buy these. Very pleased - they are very comfortable. I quickly moved to the medium thickness insoles. I plan on buying them in black as well and hope that eventually you will make a high top or boot version.

Great Shoes Great service

First time trying a pair of barefoot zero drop shoes and absolutely love them. Fit great, comfortable, and have great traction. I had some questions and got a fast response time and helpful with my questions. Absolutely loved the service and truly digging the shoes. Highly recommend, get yourself a pair!

Great barefoot shoes with a bit of cushion

I've been wearing barefoot shoes for years and can never go back to a narrow toe box! The Icarus shoes are comfortable, wide toe box and look cool, and with the 4mm insoles the are just a little extra shock absorbing which is really nice for days on the concrete. The leather softens up after just a few wears - I like them a lot! A few cons/notes to be aware of: 1. The insole with the 5mm drop doesn't fit great in the shoe. I found my heel was close to pulling out at the back because of the stack height. 2. The logos on the insoles started rubbing off after barely one wear, which might make things complicated if you wanted to try them out indoors and return them. 3. I wish, instead of the inclined cushion option, that there was a zero drop 5mm insole, because I was specifically looking for extra cushion. 4. Would be cool if they sold insoles separately so they could be used in other barefoot shoes! 5. They are a little narrow on the overall spectrum of wide toe boxes. They are fine for me, but if you have a lot of spread, they might not work. Overall, I'd recommend these shoes.
