Women's Limited Edition Squat University DZ-1 DropZero Barefoot Trainer - Stability Strap

Effective but fit could be better

I have never purchased a pair of barefoot shoes and am relatively new to strength training (last 6 months) and have progressed to the level where my trainer suggested I work barefoot for lifts. I wear these shoes with no socks because they are kind of snug and I ordered the size that I wear in about 98% of shoes I buy. The only caveat with these is that they feel a little tight on my left pinky toe (not my right), and releasing the velcro a little does help. I've only worn them about 2 weeks atp, so maybe they'll stretch a little more over the next few weeks and feel better. Otherwise, I do feel more grounded in my lifts and am liking this new addition to my fitness journey. For the price and functionality, I would definitely recommend these. If your feet are on the wider side, you may have to release the velcro a little but that's not a big deal.

Too narrow for me

I really want to love these shoes. I have the black/gold pair and those are great. For some reason the white ones are so narrow. I wore them for a WOD and my feet hurt when I strap them all the way. So now when I wear them, I lightly strap them (just so the strap isn’t flapping around) but I really don’t want to. I can’t return them bc they’re worn so I’m super bummed to be stuck with them. I still wear them here and there but they’re tight for me. I’m wondering if there’s a difference btwn buying the women’s shoe or the men’s shoe. I bought the pair that was under the women’s category. On the bright side, the grip was awesome. I could see myself wearing these for inside the gym for volleyball.

Nice toebox

I wear a women’s 9. 5 in Altra and Xero and a 9 wide in Chacos. 9. 5 in this shoe is perfect. Easily adjustable and sticky soles. Great!
