Barefoot Trainers RAYVE RIO Leather Black/White

REVIEW

"The RAYVE Rio shoes completely won me over with their colour and pleasant feel underfoot. Thanks to the toe space and memory foam insole, they felt comfortable from the start – nothing pinched or restricted me. I put them to the test on a full-day family trip to craft markets – even after hours of walking, nothing hurt and my feet still felt great. These are some of my most comfortable barefoot shoes for the city. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to start with barefoot footwear, because they'll fall in love with them."

RAYVE Rio are barefoot trainers that let you walk the way nature intended – light, free and unrestricted. At first glance, they'll catch your eye with their clean urban style; at second glance, you'll fall in love with the comfort you'll feel from the moment you slip them on.

Thanks to the wide toe box, your toes have plenty of room to work naturally, whilst your heel and ankle remain stable.
