RAYVE Rio Women's Barefoot Trainers Black/White

REVIEW

"I was completely taken with the colour and the comfortable feel of the RAYVE Rio shoes. Thanks to the room for my toes and the memory insole, they felt comfortable from the start and nothing pressed or restricted me. I put them properly to the test on an all-day family trip to a craft market. Even after hours of walking nothing hurt and my feet still felt good. They are one of my most comfortable barefoot shoes for the city. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to start with barefoot footwear, because they will love them."
