Happy Feet
I have worn your shoes for years,they are an everyday wear for me and I love them. I have a myriad of health conditions due to CPTSD and these shoes are easy on my joints,and feet. I liked my old style and color which was several shades of blue and a plum color better than the red but oh wellš¤·āāļøš

Third pair in a row, third year in a row
This will literally be my third pair in a row. Once a year is the average, and I wear them quite a lot. They are my automatic go-to shoe for pretty much everything, and I am a very active person. I have hiked hundreds of miles over the last three years, and I have never missed the typical hiking shoes. They can be dressed up or down, they never look dirty and are easy to wash when needed, they are easy to slip on quickly, even when they do get wet, I hardly notice. There is no break-in time, my feet are SO happy in them, they keep their shape throughout the year, and the only reason I have to replace them is the bottoms wear through. I have never had a seam failure anywhere on them, and I have been sewing since I was five. I was on a xero and merrill minimal shoe kick for about two years, but I was always disappointed in their lack of durability. That is to say that there is perspective on how other minimalist shoes perform. I also adore how this company started in Asheville NC which is only an hour away from where I grew up, their success is well warranted.

Love these shoes!
Love these shoes! They made sailing even better with their excellent profile and soles that felt like bare feet. I highly recommend.

Not for high insteps
I really wanted to like these, but they just won't work for me. When they arrived, I really liked the quality and design. I have a high instep and getting the shoes on was very difficult. This was not a deal breaker, because I want them to be difficult to lose in water. However, once they were on, the pressure from the top of the shoe on my instep caused my arches to hurt immediately. I knew I could not keep them on for any length of time. I considered going up a size, because I do really like these, but the fit on my heel would be too loose.

As an active āseniorā I experience chronic lower back and hip pain. I suffer from severe allergies and can only use certain clothing brands and products with natural fibers, avoiding harsh chemicals and dyes. I work at an indoor aquatic center. Your Loyak shoes not only provided me with improved posture and pain relief but also improved my balance on a sometimes wet slippery pool deck. I compliment you on your manufacturing process, I am very limited with the type of materials I can tolerate. These shoes are a welcome addition and help me stay active - I donāt plan on slowing down anytime soon. Thank you for an excellent product!

My go to river shoe!
Iām on my 3rd pair of this amazing shoe. I love the barefoot feel for playing in the river. Great shoe for paddle boarding and hiking in water. Iāve also used them canyoneering and love the sticky rubber soles. I only wish they came in more colors.

Practical and cute too
Great low profile water shoe. Comfortable and flexible. Even had enough grip to hike in (but not long hikes since it doesn't have a lot of support)

Blister on my toe
I only wore them once, and got such a blister on the top of my small toe, I am afraid to wear them again.
