I've been buying barefoot shoes for years, after seeing so many professional ads from this brand, it seemed a European brand for an affordable price. I purchased a pair and after receiving the track and trace I was already sceptic when I noticed it was coming from China. It arrived today after two weeks and it is indeed Chinese plastic junk with a logo slapped on. First and last time purchase. Rather buy durable, natural breathing fabrics. I don't expect these to last very long and as usul returning and refunding with Chinese junk is impossible.
