Impakto Barefoot Rooted Comfortable Big Toe Box Gym, Cross Training, Walking Shoes for Men

The Barefoot Experience especially with the wide toebox
The product is really good for its price, that too coming from an Indian manufacturer.I have used barefoot style shoes extensively since 2013 -- 2 Merrell shoes with Vibram sole (Very good sole performance, grip wise) , 1 Azani; an Indian copy with very poor sole performance (grip) when even slightly wet or touches water. And now I have a Vibram Five Finger, super comfortable and really barefoot style with amazing sole performance, even when it is just 2-4 mm.But this one is really good with fit and comfort, even though it has thinck sole and heavy insole. Shoe is much heavier than all other barefoot style shoes I have used and weight balance is shifted towards front.Even though it is not technically a barefoot type in terms of foot perception, wide toe-box and minimal heel-to-toe drop makes it really comfortable. Also treads and sole is really good and gives feeling of secure grip. Easy to put on and the design is just right with proper sizing compared to normal shoe size, with the band over tongue giving a secure fit.I have not really tried running on this, but think that due to the good elastic band over the tongue, it will not come out. Personally insole thickness and weight of shoe makes my feet ache sometimes, but I cannot complain as this is the best shoe I have found yet for my need given the prize (got it at ₹895) and the usage (I can wear it to office without anyone noticing, well almost). The finger/toe like design marking is unnecessary and makes it a more noticeable than necessary (not that I am complaining, as I have worn Vibram Five Fingers to office on purpose to start a discussion on barefoot style shoes and foot health that is damaged big time by stupidly indoctrinating people that high-heeled, cramped-toe shoes are really good for running and walking).So, I am not complaining about fashion and comfort of this shoe, but instead appreciate about the healthy aveneue it provides for maintaining better foot health at such affordable cost. Also thicker sole gives more protection from shoe getting wet even with little water on road (as happens with VFF).I bought one for my teenage son too to give him an option to improve his foot health.

Foot feel is good, Fit is a bit off.
Overall the feel is good, as if it is only the sole. Serves my objective (a shoe for walking on treadmill). The only downside is that the fit is a bit off on one foot.

Great value for money!
I have been a regular road runner since 10+ years.This has been the best running shoes ever that I have experienced. The wide toe style particularly helps as I get enough wriggle space to my toes. The cushioning support to the sole is also very comfortable. Shoe is light weight.I have run 100+ Km with this shoes over 4 weeks on the road. So far this is holding up fantastically. Well-worth the price. Very happy with me buy decision

Although the shoes are comfortable but they have poor grip for weight lifting
Please dont but these for weight lifting specifically for deadlifts or squats. Except for that these are overall good and comfortable for other activity.

Very comfortable and affordable barefoots .. Loving it
I saw my brother wear barefoots in the US and working out in the gym, he asked me to try it out once, others in Amazon were to costly like andune and with the cost of vibram I can buy a basic laptop...LOL ..felt so unjustified like 20k for a few inches of canvas and feet shaped soles should be a joke.Then my eyes fell on these, thought to try it out as it's just 800 bucks and would be a great try out pair so that I could decide whether to buy the big boys or not, but I was wrong , here are the pros and cons-Pros1. Sleek design2. Pure barefoot feeling, you will feel like you are wearing a thick socks with even thicker sole3. Grip is good for all aerobic exercises, I used it for sprints, it's a whole different experience.4. Very affordable for the premium quality5. Feels very durable, stitches and glues are on par6. No socks needed7. No rashes faced even with rigorous workouts ( grappling)8. Sole is thick, insides not coming off while removingCons1. Not a great brand, ajanta is pretty old with no marketing of its productsI would recommend it highly to whoever who wants a barefoot experience at an affordable price rather than going for expensive ones, believe be you won't look at shoes the same way again after using barefoot shoes..cheers

Good Quality and Fit.. Serves my intended purpose
Perfect Fit and Good quality.. Reasonable price.. Very helpful during skipping and indoor workout.. Only issue is with inner sole.. Easily moves and feeling uncomfortable..But we can easily fix it with shoe gum..

Comfortable but average looking shoes
These shoes are damn comfortable. One you wear them you can Walk miles without and discomfort, the material is durable and these can be used for walking, exercising, cycling etc. not sure about running, size was different from what i usually wear i had to recorder the one with bigger size. Only thing that i feel that made me deduct one start was that they look very average, i won't say they look ugly, but they also don't look super fancy. Great otherwise
