RAYVE Rio Barefoot Trainers Taupe

REVIEW

"The RAYVE Rio shoes completely won me over with their colour and comfortable feel underfoot. Thanks to the room for toes and memory foam insole, they felt pleasant 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, nothing hurt and my feet still felt great. 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 that's natural for your body – light, free and without restriction. At first glance, they impress with their clean urban style; at second glance, you'll fall in love with the comfort you'll feel from the moment you first put them on.

Thanks to the wide toe box, your toes have plenty of room to work whilst the heel and ankle remain stable. The thin flexible sole keeps you in contact with the ground, and the combination of suede, nubuck and smooth leather gives the shoes not only style but also durability for everyday city wear.
