RAYVE RIO Barefoot Trainers Espresso

REVIEW

"I absolutely love the RAYVE Rio shoes for their colour and comfortable step. Thanks to the roomy toe box and memory foam insole, they felt great from the very first wear – nothing pinched or restricted me. I put them to the test on a full-day family trip to craft markets, and even after hours of walking, my feet felt fine and comfortable throughout. These are some of my most comfortable barefoot shoes for the city. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone starting out with barefoot footwear – you'll fall in love with them."

RAYVE Rio are barefoot trainers that let you walk the way your body was designed to – light, free and unrestricted. At first glance, they impress with their clean urban style; at second glance, you'll love the comfort you feel from the moment you slip them on.

The wide toe box gives your toes plenty of room to work naturally, while the heel and ankle stay stable. The thin flexible sole keeps you connected to the ground, and the combination of suede, nubuck and smooth leather gives the shoes not only style but also durability for everyday city wear.
