RAYVE Rio Women's and Men's Barefoot Trainers Sky Blue

REVIEW

"I was thrilled with the colour and the comfortable step of the RAYVE Rio shoes. Thanks to the room for my toes and the memory insole, they felt comfortable from the start and nothing pinched or restricted me. I put them through a proper test on an all-day family trip to a craft market. Even after long hours of walking, nothing hurt and my feet felt good throughout. They are one of my most comfortable barefoot shoes for the city. I would definitely recommend them to anyone starting out with barefoot footwear, because they will love them."

RAYVE Rio are barefoot trainers that let you walk the way your body naturally moves: lightly, freely and without restriction. At first glance they stand out for their clean city style, and once you put them on you will love the comfort straight away.

The wide toe box gives your toes enough room to work, while the heel and ankle stay stable. The thin, flexible sole keeps you in contact with the ground, and the combination of suede, nubuck and smooth leather gives the shoes both style and durability for everyday wear in the city.
