Hemp naturally doesn’t take dyes as well as some materials and therefore has a tendency to fade faster than cotton and synthetics.
Below are internal measurements between seams. Please note that these are hand made, and there may be some slight variance between measurements and each individual shoe. Also, keep in mind that the hemp does stretch and there is a break in period. The upper has a tendency to fold inward toward the foot for a few days while the shoes are broken in so it sometimes feels smaller than it is. These are not suited for people with a high instep.

This shoe is perfect to slip on with a summer dress or a cute pair of shorts. The hemp fabric is lovely and cool for summer wear and the neutral color goes with everything. The minimalist sole gives amazing ground feel and flexibility!
They changed the footbed. The heel is very uncomfortable now -- the now rubber footbed (instead of fabric like before) is so narrow in the heel that the side seams cut into my foot and leave deep, painful impressions. I'm dismayed to have spent this kind of money on a product that they actively made worse and it nearly unwearable.
Nice and simple but a little more narrow, then I thought, but I’ll still wear them
I had a pair of Toms that I really liked but were far too narrow once I switched to barefoot shoes. These are definitely wider than Toms and I (fairly wide foot) feel that I have plenty of space in the toe box. Midfoot is a little snug but I expect that to stretch somewhat. So far it feels very durable. The sole is thicker than I expected with a more aggressive tread but that's fine with me. Upper materials feel great.
My only issue is the rubber insole. I don't find it very comfortable on the bottom of my feet if worn barefoot for longer periods of time, especially if my feet sweat. Leather or even a different texture would be an improvement but there's likely not enough room for a different insole.
I had to exchange for a different size and customer service was very helpful throughout the whole process.
Lastly, as maybe the only guy buying these, they definitely work for men too.
I purchased the Terra Vida in Natural and am so glad I finally got them! They were comfortable from the first time I slipped them on and they have only gotten more soft as I have worn them. The shoes are a timeless style that can be casual with jeans and dressed up with skirts / sundresses as well! Very versatile. I have gotten so many compliments on them in the week that I have worn them... I'm constantly sending the link to anyone and everyone that makes a comment:) Terral and his team have been wonderful in their communication with me throughout the ordering and delivery process as well. Overall, VERY PLEASED!! YAY!
SIZE CHART
Our sizing is based on standard shoe sizing and is typically true to size, however, we suggest measuring your foot and and using the shoe size chart below to determine the best size for you. Stand with your heel against a wall and place a ruler or measuring tape along your foot to measure the total distance from the wall to the longest part of your foot. If you already own a pair of Unshoes sandals, you will likely wear the same size but please check the chart to make sure.
