RAYVE Rio Barefoot Trainers Sky Blue

REVIEW

"The RAYVE Rio shoes absolutely won me over with their colour and pleasant feel underfoot. Thanks to the room for my toes and the memory foam insole, they felt comfortable from the very first wear - nothing pinched or restricted me. I put them to the test on a full-day family outing to a craft market, and even after hours of walking, nothing hurt and my feet felt great the whole time. They're one of my most comfortable barefoot shoes for the city. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to start with barefoot footwear, because you'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 catch your eye with their clean urban style. At second glance, you'll love them for the comfort you'll feel from the moment you first slip them on.

The wide toe box gives your toes plenty of room to work naturally while your 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.
