GENESIS For Men

Have just purchased my second pair of these sandals. My first pair are not in good shape, as I've had to patch both left and right sandal with araldite glue numerous times to keep them going. They keep breaking where the strap goes through the sole near the toes. They have also broken on the rubber section at the side strap, necessitating more glue to repair. As to the 5000 mile warranty, I doubt mine will last that long. The sole is already pretty worn from my running and I've only had them for 3 years and I don't do what I'd call high mileage. So I won't run in my old sandals anymore, and hopefully get more mileage just walking in them. Hence I bought this second pair for running. I was not impressed the price increased by over 37% since my first pair I purchsed 3 years ago. I am happy with the barefoot feel of these sandals which is what I was after. It did take me quite a long time of trial and error doing many adjustments to get the sandals feeling ok when running, as they were slapping too much and the strap kept slipping off my heal. I ended up cutting away part of the strap and part of the sole around the toes as well as other adjustments. I didn't want to have to 'cut' the sandals in case I mucked it up, but I did in the end and it did make a big difference. Undoubtedly I'll have to modify/customise my new sandals but at least I have a template in my old sandals that I can refer to. The online videos going through the adjustments were ok, but were not as comprehensive as I would have liked. I enjoy trail running but I don't use these sandals for that kind of running as I find due to the 'barefoot' feel, they don't feel ok on rocky terrain, and being a sandal, plenty of sticks and small stones come onto the sole under my foot which is annoying. So I'm looking forward to my new pair, and really hoping they won't be as troublesome as the last pair, and that I won't need the glue repairs.

This sandal is all I expected it to be. Very firm, thin rubber sole and effective strap 'upper'

Great sandals, prefer them to my Luna's

These are Sick ! Light weight and hold to my foot well so I can walk on mid foot or toes with no problem. Also if your here looking for minimal bare foot shoes to wear into venues just get em and try them out! There worth it. Ill be buying them again once they wear out until I find something Better. I've been looking for Years.

They are as comfy as advertised. They processed my order quickly. So good to have quick delivery of items so you can enjoy them while they are fresh in your mind

The laces on the old models were not elastic. This meant getting a snug fit was so difficult. They have slightly elastic laces now, making the fit absolutely easy to adjust and really snug and comfortable. They've also added a grippy forefoot texture on the sole to provide extra traction. These sandals are absolutely amazing. My foot measures 270mm and the size 10 Mens fits like a glove. To get the perfect fit, loosen the heel strap, slide your foot in, position your foot and now, adjust the laces, being very careful and not using force, you do this by grabbing the lace and pulling in a sideways direction from the hole. Don't pull upwards as you can damage the sandal. Adjust the side of lace that has a knot (left for the right shoe and right for the left shoe) so that the knot is sort of in the centre of your foot, after that's done, adjust the lace that goes to the toepost so that it's snuggly tight. Then finally, adjust the heel strap while the cup is in the right position on the heel. Now you're done and have the perfect fit.

Haven't had them long, but so far they're great. They look good and look well made and robust. One little thing is most people will probably need to tighten the straps around the top of the foot as they are too loose, Here's a good video explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMJLDRuv3LU) - make sure to take them off before adjusting them to avoid damage. So far so good. I would buy another pair without hesitation if these last as long as they're supposed to (which I assume they will!)

Fits great and super flexible!

Once you fit it right to the foot using the online tutorial all that remains is to walk in them and it’s a total bare foot gated walking experience. It feels like you don’t have a shoe on ! I ordered the wrong size and the service was excellent getting me the correct one. I am loving the feel and the look !
