Boty sú ľahké, pružné, teplé (zatiaľ nosené v teplotách 0-10) s dostatkom miesta. Materiály vyzerajú kvalitne a sú naozaj pohodlné.
Jediná vec čo mi trochu prekáža je zbytočne veľký jazyk, ktorý odstáva a preto sa vrch boty nedá ľahko skryť pod nohavice.

Boty jsou pohodlné a teplé, ale nevím jak se chovají ve sněhu , moc nepadá. Jsou krátké tkaničky.

S původní stélkou mi bylo chladno od země, dokoupila jsem si zimní a je to lepší, jen mám nohu v botě trochu utlačenou a jsou krátký tkaničky, jinak ale děkuju, že takový boty jsou na trhu.

Je opravdu super zimní obuv, velikost, tvar na netypickou velkou spodní část nohy. Dobře se nosí. Zatím jsem nenašla žádný zádrhel, uvidíme až napadne více sněhu.
Věřím ale, že to bude dobré.

Boty mi perfektně sedí na noze, šířka vepředu naprosto skvělá, zateplení mi taky přijde fajn. Měl jsem obavy z relativně úzkého jazyka (prakticky žádný překryv, obával jsme se, že to bude nepohodlné), ale zatím při nošení ok. Zásadní výhradu mám ale k podrážce - při procházce po rovině ve sněhu ok, ale terén typu sníh a pod ním tráva/bahno (prostě běžná cesta v lese do kopce) klouže a vůbec nedrží. Kolegům s bežnou trekovou botou se šlo daleko lépe.

Po necelom tyzdni nosenia sa zacali spredu odliepat. Inac su super, len kvalita prace zrejme nic moc. Teraz neviem ci ich dam opravit u miestneho obuvnika alebo ich poslem na reklamaciu a budem mesiac bez topanok :-(

Jsou teplé a pohodlné- to by bylo na 4-5 hvezdicek. Ale ve vlhku (mokré listí, nebo tráva od rosy) do nich teče. Nevím tedy co se bude dít, až bude mokrej sníh 😩

These are the best winter boots I’ve ever owned. Nothing to complain about. Ordered my second pair one size up to be able to wear them with lamb insoles in extreme cold. I didn’t expect them to be this comfortable and wide in the front I wear them with toe spacer and it’s perfect. I’d love if you guys would offer a model that is less wide like 1/4 (7mm) of an inch less. If I don’t wear any toe spacer I don’t need that extra wide.

Zatím jsem nenosil, je léto, ale na noze sedí velmi dobře a jsou velmi lehké. Místo na prsty je více jak velkorysé.

A decent boot and I'm glad there's vegan options available BUT... I must say it's my least favourite RealFoot model.
The design of the shaft with terrible thick padding made of polyester fur makes me rate them lower.
First problem with padding is that it is very difficult to lace them up properly so that the shafts and tongue close up around the calves. I don't like the feeling of the shaft not overlapping tongue, the warmth is being lost this way and you get snow directly into the shoe through the space between the shaft and the tongue.
Another problem I had with Highlanders several times is that the polyester fur and some soft stuff inside the padding of the tongue act like sponge. So even though the shoes are quite water resistant (and even waterproof with waterproofing spray) as soon as it's raining on the top of the boot or you step into deep wet snow, the tongue and top of shafts suck in water. Then it takes hours to get them dry.
Otherwise a good option with not very good breathability (but absolutely not worse than any other vegan footwear). High quality of craftsmanship, fantastic wide toebox and as I said very good water resistance.

Boty se zdají být pohodlné, široká špička, je v nich "jako v bačkorách". Bohužel jsem již nestačila vyzkoušet v podmínkách, pro které jsou určené, doufám tedy, že i potom budu spokojená. Přišlo mi, že by mohl být trochu širší jazyk, snad se do boty nebude dostávat sníh a velmi mě překvapily plastové úchytky na tkaničky - budu doufat, že vydrží. Přišly by mi praktičtější kovové, ale snad to má svůj důvod. Těším se na "zátěžovou" zkoušku, i když si teď budu muset delší dobu počkat.

This is a really well-made product and I’m very happy with my purchase. The toe box is wide enough for my feet and the material is high-quality. I was worried the boots would be heavy but they’re light yet still sturdy and warm. In other barefoot shoes I’m a size 39 women’s and these size 39 fit perfectly.

I love how flexible and comfortable these are, and I’m impressed with how well they keep my feet warm even in deep snow treks and crazy cold Canadian winter weather. The only negative I’ve noticed is the lip of the sole seems to be detaching slightly at the toe, pulling away from the shoe. So far it has not made an impact on the waterproof quality, but I hope it doesn’t get worse.

Ještě jsem neměla možnost vyzkoušet, ovšem na první obutí jsou na délku OK, trošku těsnější z vrchní strany, a asi bych uvítala širší jazyk. Plně ohodnotit budu moct až po užití v podmínkách, pro které jsou ušité:-). Děkuji

I'm a big fan of realfoot shoes !
After trying hundreds of barefoot shoes that were way too narrow for my feet and very painful on my pinky toe side, I discovered Realfoot shoes.
I own a pair of runners that I absolutely love and this boots are amazing too. They fit perfectly my very wide feet, they are super soft, flexible and very warm ! They are just soooooo comfortable ! More than my slippers 😁
The water resistance is excellent even when walking through multiple puddles under pouring rain.
The only downside for me about this boots and realfoot shoes in general is the grip ! When it's raining or when I walk down hill on mud or gravels I don't feel secure and it gets very slippery. I put 5 stars anyway because realfoot shoes are the best I've ever tried. Thank you so much for making them ! 😊

Extremely satisfied with this boot. I've found it hard to find tall, vegan friendly, barefoot boots with a rounded toe - and this checks all of my boxes. I have halux limitus and find it uncomfortable to walk - but I managed a night out to a concert this week, walking and wearing these boots for 6 hours, and my feet did not hurt. The Holy Grail!
I will buy another pair - however I would note that the delivery costs, while reasonable at first looks, do not include customs charges. I ended up with a surprising extra £39 charge for delivery. It would be nice to have other delivery options which include taxes etc. - might be more expensive up front, but no hidden surprises. Delivery was very quick though,. impressed with the speed.

Is the outsole non-slip enough for kitchen work?
I make ice cream for my job and could use a barefoot, warm pair of boots for the walk-in freezer and blast freezers, but it'd need to be non-slip (similar to the Xero Shoes Prio All Day SR's).

I am so happy with these boots! They are actually what I've been looking for from a vegan barefoot shoe, and it's taken a year! I will be buying another pair as a backup as soon as I have the money spare, I love them.

Hello, the boot looks amazing but for winter and walk in snow or ice the pattern must be higher, imagine mountains 🏔️ with this triangulas shape, may be not like needles 🪡 something more like a truncated pyramid. Take a look of the pattern of some vansof the wall snow boot.
Have a nice day

dotaz k ošetřování bot

Zdravím, zajímalo by mne, čím a jak často je vhodné tyto boty ošetřovat, aby zůstaly dlouhodobě nepromokavé?
A jak hodně jsou oděruvzorné např. při chůzi v namrzlém sněhu (přimrzlá ledová krusta) nebo pokud by byly používané ve sněžnicích (kde jsou boty uchycovány pásky, které se po povrchu boty vždy mírně posunují a namáhají její povrch)? Jsou na to dělané nějaké testy odolnosti/zátěžové testy?

Do I need to size up by one because of the cushioning or can I pick the same size as e.g. farmers boot autumn version?

The inner material, except for the shaft (which has foam padding and fur) fells and looks the same thickness to me as in the Trekker Low model. So it should depend more on the thicknes of the winter socks.

Hi there, I am trying to figure out the same thing. I am a 26.3cm x 11.2cm and I’m not sure if I should go with 42 or 43.
This is the only thing that is stopping me from preordering..

Will buy if..
1. Comes in leather, thick, protection against rocks, roots etc.
2. Metal speedhook laces.
3. Durable sole ( i own 4 different models from you and they all are way to soft for some long distance walking/running, wears out to quickly, feels like there is no possibility to resole them after that.
4. Durable material/design overall.
5. Waterproof.
6. Inner lining, yes and no, more flexible without, you can use an extra thick sock for e.g colder weather.
7. Non plastic material.
Have a good one.

That's just my observations.
I own trekker, natural runner, farmer winter and city jungle black, and now I saw that realfoot is on their way to release highlander, and what I thought was that this is somewhat what i want for the next shoe I would need, for more rougher outdoor/hunting activities.
It's just my wishes you could say.
Honest word, realfoots are great, thank you guys.

I want to tell the truth saying that I own two models specifically Trekker Low Grey and Natural Runner Ocean Blue. And the materials are durable. The leather is perfectly thick and the sole too on the Trekkers. The speedhook laces are from durable plastic. And overall the details are thought throughout the shoe. You know, the one who only criticises is not truthful. And with all this AI one can make up every opinion.
