Like wearing no shoes at all
The shoes are comfortable, light, and the sole follows the terrain nicely. A wool sock fits well inside, which adds much-needed warmth in winter conditions. When I walk, it feels like I'm not wearing shoes at all. Absolutely brilliant, like all of their shoes.

No going back to thick soles
These are incredibly comfortable. My feet felt at home from the very first steps, and it hasn't even crossed my mind to put on any other shoes. After trying these, I don't think there's any going back to regular thick-soled shoes.

The comfiest shoes for freezing days
The most comfortable shoes in the world, and that's saying a lot, because these are already my fourth pair of barefoot shoes from them. Like wearing super-soft slippers! They've kept my feet warm in freezing weather, at least with different wool socks. I need a shoehorn to put them on, as the shafts are quite snug. The grip is excellent on frozen snow; on ice they're as slippery as any other shoe. I would buy them again!

Twelve pairs, one for every season
I'm a devoted barefoot shoe fan. There are no better shoes, and I refuse to wear anything else anymore. I already have 12 pairs. Every season needs plenty of options 😄 My latest purchase is the Hanki winter boots: absolutely lovely and warm. I truly recommend them to everyone!

Winter boots that don't rub
I've been padding around in these winter barefoot shoes for a few weeks now, and I really love them! My feet have stayed warm, and the shoes are really comfortable. They're not stiff, clumsy, chafing or tight like all my previous "normal" winter boots. It has felt so good to walk, and we've already had a few slushy days. My feet have stayed dry.
