What Experts & Enthusiasts Say

“I love that with the Carnforth you are getting a healthier, more comfortable shoe that reads chic and upscale. I also appreciate that the shoes offer a nice wide toe box that most would fit into, without looking clownish.”

“It is extremely soft to the foot. There's plenty of space for my foot in this shoe that makes it very comfortable. The faux heel makes it so classy! This thing is a looker. It didn't require any break in, it was comfy right out of the box.”

“I recommend them to all my patients! The Carnforth feels rugged and looks less like a clown shoe than other barefoot shoes, yet still provides the large toe box, zero drop and thin sole I'd expect.”

“It's so soft and tumbled that there's probably less break-in period than a one millimetre firm leather shoe — that's awesome. That alone to me makes the shoe worth it.”

“This looks sleek! Good little toe box — not too wide. Doesn't look like Howard the Duck. These are elastic shoe laces so it slides on. The leather feels extremely nice on this.”
