At last a comfy shoe just what I have wanted.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2021

I have awkward sizing feet, I am like a 5.5 but cos I have wide feet I some times have to get a 6.5 and or a 7.
I find it very difficult to buy shoes and to be comfy in them too especially my little toe.
I hate feeling my feet cramped up and I can't move my toes and being restricted.
I was told about bare foot shoes and another make which are really expensive a bit out of my budget and also as I am not sure if I would like them or they would be comfortable I didn't want to waste money so came across these ones.
I have done a lot of reading and a lot of watching YouTube videos and research on barefoot walking so thought why not.
Well I got mine yesterday and had them on round the house haha felt like I had ducks feet and today have been out for just over a two mile walk, well what can I say?
I noticed a difference in my walking straightaway my knee wanted to twist and my foot wanted to but I think it's cos of how I walk with normal shoes on I tend to wear one side of the heal down.
So I made myself very conscious of how I was walking then tried to walk heal toes like normal and the difference was unreal.
I will probably ache tomorrow as using muscles I haven't used before.
I am very impressed with them I did wear a sock with them and kept the insole in but I may take the insole out once I have gotten use to them.
You do also take smaller strides and it is ball of foot then toe down so hardly any pressure on your heal so then there is no impact on your knees either.
I will keep wearing them and then eventually get a barefoot winter boot or shoe.
If you want to go back to natural walking then I would recommend to buy these for your first barefoot shoe just in case you don't like it so you are not wasting an awful amount of money.

Not suitable for long walks!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2021

Very disappointing! there's absolutely no support for the arch of my feet as well as very thin cushioning, it's basically a very wide rubber socks! I walked my dogs and did around 10,000 steps, by the end of the walk my feet hurt so much. Wouldn't recommend it.

Order a size 9.5 for a 9 foot and it was too small

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2022

Verified Purchase

These come up small... I ordered my son a 9.5 for his size 9 feet (UK) and they were too tight on the toes so I'd suggest going one for whole size bigger... Besides that for the price they were a nice looking barefoot trainer

5.5 is really a size 6

Lovely looking shoe but the size 5.5 comes a size 6 (39) which is a shame as I really needed a 5.5 size.

in paragone con altre minimal/barefoot Merrell, Whitin etc

Reviewed in Italy on 16 July 2021

Verified Purchase

perchè ho provato a prenderlo:
- rafforzare il piede, le scarpe con suola sottile/flessibile fanno "faticare" di più il piede, rafforzandolo
- pianta larga, avendo avuto altre scarpe barefoot prima di queste, il mio piede si è gradualmente allargato

sul primo punto, la suola è sottile e flessibile ma sul secondo punto, la scarpa stringe un po' (la lunghezza è corretta in quanto le punta delle dita non toccano la punta della scarpa). Non parliamo di scarpe strette in generale, ma in paragone alle altre scarpe barefoot (ho avuto 2 merrrell vapor glove e una whitin), sono più strette.

Altri punti deboli:
- la scarpa non avvolge sui lati la caviglia (è così larga che stando in piedi, c'è un dito di spazio tra la caviglia ed il bordo della scarpa)
- la parte posteriore della scarpa, sul bordo alto invece è abbastanza rientrante e non "morbida"; Risulta quindi fastidiosono sul tendine d'achille (è personalmente la prima volta da che ho questo problema con delle scarpe sportive).
- le scarpe arrivano in busta senza protezioni (forse è per quello che sono "sformate" sul collo?)

Se non fosse per i primi due punti deboli (soprattutto il secondo), sarebbero "passabili"... ma così non le consiglierei

Decepción absoluta

Reviewed in Spain on 31 October 2021

Cuando uno compra unas zapatillas chinas no espera máxima calidad, pero al menos, sí esperas algo de calidad aceptable a un precio algo mejor que las zapatillas de máxima calidad, que en mi opinión son las Merrell si estamos hablando de zapatillas minimalistas puras.
Bueno pues estas no son ese tipo de zapatillas, aunque por las fotos parezcan que tienen cierta calidad. Mi enhorabuena al fotógrafo.

Estas zapatillas tienen una calidad muy inferior a su precio. He comprado zapatillas del Decathlon del mismo precio y con muchísima mejor calidad. No hay más que ver las costuras de la plantilla interior y el resto del tejido: he visto alpargatas mejor terminadas que estas.

Y luego, no son minimalistas puras. Te dicen que tienes que quitar la plantilla para que el grosor de la suela sea el mínimo requerido. La plantilla es de una goma espuma muy barata que no me imagino cómo tienen que sudar (y oler) en verano. Y la suela interior es muy áspera y dura.
Mis otras Merrell tienen una suela mucho más fina y ponérselas es una delicia. No podemos comparar la calidad de unas zapatillas de 90 euros con unas de 40 euros, pero es que éstas después de usarlas hora y media sin plantilla, los pies me dolían bastante y eso no es normal, teniendo en cuenta que uso otras zapatillas minimalistas con suela más fina que esta.
Solo pueden usarse con plantillas, lo cual le quita muchos grados de minimalismo, que es la gracia de este tipo de zapatillas.

Y por último, a pesar de que pedí mi número (42) en base a la tabla de centímetros adjunta, me resultaron un número más grandes. Veo que otros usuarios se quejan de que les llegan más pequeñas, justo al contrario. En fin.

No voy a utilizarlas mucho por lo incómodas que son. Me parece un dinero tirado y no entiendo tantas valoraciones de 5 estrellas para unos acabados tan pobres que saltan a simple vista. Inexplicable.

Si valoráis vuestros pies y queréis zapatillas minimalistas, éstas no son una opción recomendable en absoluto.

Beaucoup trop lourdes !

Reviewed in France on 15 June 2021

Verified Purchase

Si vous pensiez trouver une alternative valable et beaucoup plus abordable que les Vibram Five Fingers, vous allez être déçu.

Contrairement à ce qui est stipulé dans la description du produit, ces chaussures Saguaro ne sont PAS minimalistes. Il y a des rembourages un peu partout, une semelle interne assez épaisse (que l'on peut retirer) et une semelle externe très épaisse (vous sentirez peu le relief).

Au final, et curieusement peu de monde en parle, ces chaussures sont BEAUCOUP trop lourdes puisqu'une chaussure Saguaro en taille 47 pèse 380g contre 160g pour une Vibram Five Fingers V-run. En d'autres termes: une paire de Five Fingers pèse moins lourd qu'une seule Saguaro... et il reste encore 60g de marge...

Autant vous dire que si vous voulez courir avec les Saguaro, ça va être affreux.

Soft, but not wide enough plus toe stucks out

Reviewed in Germany on 29 March 2022

Verified Purchase

The shoes are super soft like written in the reviews. I loved the color and how the visibly sit on the foot.
However, there are a few cons that made me send them back.
First, my big toe can be seen stucking a bit out (like on a picture), because of the ultrathin material. But the worst for me was, that my five toes actually needed to be squeezed just a bit to fit in. It sounds weird, because the shoes look extremely wide, but since they are made of rubber (at least the sole feels rubber) and synthetics, I know it won't be widened, as it would have been with leather, to fit my foot shape.
Therefore, I decided to send them back, will have to look for a more adjustable/wide ones.

Not comfortable at all

Reviewed in Germany on 29 June 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought them because of good reviews but seems they are wrong.
This shoes are not sneakers but rather slippers.
You cant run with it, (even walk faster is difficult), you cant drive a car (unless you can drive with slippers).
They are not breathable as in description, as they made from material without any ventilation.
They should be described as slippers with back layer, but not as sneakers.
Also for me as I wearing in all marks 43, here 43 is too big.

Kaputt

Reviewed in Germany on 14 August 2021

Size: 5 UKColour: Rouge PinkVerified Purchase

Leider kamen die Schuhe kaputt an. Der Spanner, der für die Schnürsenkel zuständig ist, funktionierte nicht, ein Teil davonlaufen kam mir schon beim öffnen des Pakets entgegen.
Dies ist nicht verwunderlich, die Schuhe waren schlecht verpackt, einfach in eine Tüte gesteckt!
Die Schuhe passten ansich gut für eine 38.
Allerdings fand ich diese schon sehr klobig.
Deshalb hab ich sie auch nicht mehr neu bestellt.

Ne correspond ni aux photos ni à la description

Reviewed in France on 7 August 2021

Size: 5.5 UKColour: Pink BlushVerified Purchase

Arnaque totale
Ce ne sont pas des chaussures minimalistes
C'est lourd, epais et chaud, respiration zéro
Si vous possedez des vibram, une seule chaussure saguaro pèse plus que 2 vibram
La taille ne correspond absolument pas a ce qui est decrit, c'est beaucoup trop petit
Vendu 40 euros cest deux fois trop pour ce que c'est
Le look est tres grossier, bref c'est laid et ça n'a rien a voir avec les photos
Retour immédiat et je recommande une paire de vibram !

Leider sehr unbequemer Schuh

Reviewed in Germany on 30 May 2022

Size: 6.5 UKColour: Arctic BlueVerified Purchase

Der Schuh ist am Spann viel zu eng und dafür an den Zehen viel zu weit.
Deshalb nur 2 Sterne. 1 Stern für die schnelle Lieferung und der 2. Stern ist für die tolle Farbe.
Sonst leider für mich ein Flop.
