Keota

I started wearing barefoot boots this past winter and found that when I tried to go back to my usual flip-flops this spring, they suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable -- I guess my body will only accept barefoot shoes now. So I spent weeks looking for barefoot sandals and finally decided on these.

Two things I *really* appreciate about this brand are that they go down to size 5 and that they make unisex sandals that look pretty nice and women's sandals with thinner straps (I have small feet and thick straps can be overkill). I am a minimalist and love the idea of a sandal practical enough for a hike that also looks good enough to dress up a bit.

However, I'm disappointed with my Unshoes experience. First, these shoes do not even come close to fitting my foot. My toes, which are not long, hang over the front of the sole while the back of the sole comes out over an inch past my heel. I adjusted the straps all kinds of ways then finally contacted customer service, who said my only option is to order a custom sandal. Custom sandals are not returnable, and I am already going to be out the cost of shipping this order to me *and* back to Unshoes since they do not have free returns. I don't want to be out another $100 for custom sandals if they don’t end up fitting, either.

I looked at other styles to see if maybe one of those would work, and it seems based on the model images on the website, I'm not the only one who has this fit problem with Unshoes: I saw the same issue in a picture of the Wakova. I don't know if this placement issue is just on smaller sizes or what, but it's really disappointing that the product description doesn't include what foot proportions these styles actually work for so customers don't waste time and money. I ended up ordering sandals from a different brand and plan to stick with them moving forward.

My wife lives these! She says they would look good with a skirt or in the trail.
I would happily get a pair myself if I did not already have a pair of Wacova Feathers.
It is such a simple and elegant design.
Unshoes is great to deal with makes great (Un)shoes!

These shoes are such great quality and so easy to wear. I can fling them on in the morning and forget I have shoes on. They look good dressed up or down.

I survived a stroke in 2019, and without the motor control of my toes, I could no longer wear flip flops. The Keota has changed all that and I am actually becoming more aware of my foot and it’s movements. Never thought of a sandal as part of physiotherapy thank you Unshoes

Perfect fit and look great!! I will buy again:)
