Feelmax footwear is the lightest footwear on the market - each shoe weighs less than 100 grams. The shoes fit almost as tightly as a sock, which makes them extremely comfortable to wear. The shaping of the human foot and the consequent development of our way of walking took approximately four million years. Over the last few millennia, we have restricted the operation of our feet and departed from our natural way of walking by wearing shoes. Feelmax has enabled a return to the natural by developing the unique Feelmax shoes - pioneers of a new footwear culture -which simulate walking barefoot. The purpose of Feelmax footwear is to promote the positive effects of being barefoot on the operation and control of the feet, and consequently the whole body. The sole of the light Feelmax shoes is manufactured from a high-quality, very thin - approximately 1 mm thick - special fabric called Scholler-Keprotec. The fabric protects the sole of the foot without restricting its movement, which enables natural operation of the foot. Because they conform to the form of the foot in the way a sock does, Feelmax shoes are also comfortable to wear. Thanks to the extremely thin sole material of the Feelmax footwear, the sense of feeling in the sole of the foot remains as natural as possible. This enables a moving person to sense changes in the surface and shape of the ground easily, and the effects are conveyed through the foot to the other parts of the body. When the changing shapes of the ground can be felt, the foot works in a natural way, which strengthens its supporting structures, especially the muscles and ligaments. As if one were walking barefoot, with Feelmax footwear the whole sole of the foot is placed on the ground evenly, since the heel is not higher. Therefore, the position of the pelvis and the spine becomes more natural. At the same time, the operation of the toes becomes more efficient. Thus, the benefits of walking barefoot extend to the whole body.

In short, don't buy these shoes.
As a barefoot runner dude I was looking for a thin shoe that would allow me to run barefoot and keep all my skin. When I encountered these I was very happy to see that they were exactly what I was looking for. I was a little put off by the price tag, but I decided to give them a shot.
I have been wearing these shoes every day for about two months, and I have two major complains:
1. These shoes are WAY to hot. They do not breathe at all. The material the shoe is made of does not allow any air-flow. My feet began to sweat almost the instant I put the shoes on. These shoes are so hot I have been tempted to just whip out a knife and cut holes in them.
2. They are wearing way too quickly. The soles on both my shoes near the ball is almost entirely bald. After two months of wear this is completely unreasonable. I have only been on 6 or 7 runs in these shoes and they are in a poor state already.
When it comes down to it, don't buy these shoes. They are not worth the high price.

After reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougal, I went on the search for footwear that would allow my feet to gain strength in a way close to going barefoot. I tried Vibram Five Fingers, but they're not practical for every day wear. These FeelMax shoes are now my everyday shoe and I love them. They actually make walking/running a sensuous experience. I can't imagine going back to wearing "normal shoes". Highly recommended.

I have two pairs of these. I walk upwards of 4 miles a day. I love them. BUT 1) the soles are wearing much too fast at the front edge. I suspect I'll have to buy a new pair every month or two and I cannot afford that. ALSO in the rain my feet get wet rather quickly. STILL the barefoot-like experience is everything its cracked up to be. The shoes do almost feel like socks. I've been waiting for shoes like this for over 60 years. However, I know they are not for everybody. For example, you will feel the pebbles you step on--just not as much as if you were fully barefoot.

Perfect shoe for true barefoot runners.
After I took up running a few years ago, my husband bought me the book "Born to Run" and I was fascinated by the idea of barefoot running. Read more

I own both Nike Free and Vibram Fivefingers, and the Feelmax is by far the closest of the three to going barefoot. Read more

Love these shoes!!!
I would give these shoes a five star rating if they came in more styles and colors. They are comfortable, durable and have even worked well in the Oregon rain.
