My second pair (first running) Still adapting to run in them but I LOVE wearing them for everyday. Very comfortable and the black is easy to match to clothes and does not show dirt as much as my light grey suede pair (which I still love) Will buy JN again for sure. Also love Bprimal. Great service and offering!

Quality: Excellent

Sizing: True to Size

very comfortable

very comfortable and a nice style

Quality: Very Good

Yes, they are on the large side.

Shoes themselves are very nice, but they are indeed larger than other brands of the same stated euro size. They are very light and flexible with no tight or hard spots. As no smaller size is available I’ll stick with them, with extra insoles and probably thick socks, too, despite the resultant diminution of barefoot feel

Quality: Excellent

Sizing: True to Size

Amazing shoes

Amazing shoes, they fit perfectly and very lightweight. I really do feel more connected to the ground when walking in them. 10/10

Really love these – I had ordered and tried the Lems in black but I much prefer these in both style and fit. The quality is excellent and they are very comfortable and light. I'm hoping they are as durable as they look as I'll be wearing them on unpaved paths and through parks. They seem grippy too. The only thing I'd point out which isn't really an issue but just something to bear in mind is the profile is lower than a standard trainer around the sides of the ankle, which means that normal ankle socks look a bit odd sticking up and around. I'm going to buy some toe socks for a more streamlined look.

I love the look of the these but I went with the size of every shoe I have ever had (and measured my feet for reference) and they were way too tight. So much so that after 30 minutes, my left foot in particular (which is ever so slightly wider) is in so much pain I have to take them off. These are great for narrow feet only. It’s a shame because I do love the look of them and judging by other reviews they seem great.

I'm so happy! Great fit, soooo comfy, the best barefoot style shoes I've ever had. I love having an al-black colour choice too. Can wear with anything.

Simply the best everyday barefoot shoe out there. Lightweight, truly thin sole with good ground feel, flexible, wide toe box but a good taper to the heel (most other shoes are wide in the heel so it ends up being loose!), and a stylish design. I have these in black and white, and I hope they never discontinue as there's nothing comparable out there.
Joe Nimble if you're reading this, take note - and also, please bring back the ComfyToes leather shoes!!

Have been wearing them all day everyday. Love them. Worth every cent ❤️

I love my Joe nimble shoes I wear them to work all the time and I work on concrete floors and no pain.. The Chiro says my feet have changed in a short time and the arches are getting better everyday I wear them.
So comfortable just as they say wearing no shoes at all.
Very light and flexible, I wear a size 9 normally but happy with the 9.5 eur. Have just received my next pair trying out the Lems for exercising and everyday use.

After printing the correct foot size online, I got a bit confuse so spoke with online team which really helped. A little wait and got my desired size and love them, wear them to work each day, they look good and soft to walk in. Really happy.

Excellent shoes and perfect spacing for your toes. I have worn them out and on ths treadmill and loving my experience.

Took a little awhile to get used to walking in this shoe but I love them now. Walk about 5-13km a day and they lasted almost 6months before I wore a hole completely through the sole. Happy enough to buy again, just wish the soles were more long lasting for someone that is hard on shoes like myself. They wash up really well in the washing machine.

Perfect shoe for all occasions

Love these shoes. Ample toe room, lightweight, and flexible to encourage full range movement of the foot. Find they have a meshy outer layer that catches dirt and dust easily so you have to clean them more often if you care.

I was keen to get some of these after my mum got some for Christmas, so followed the sizing instructions and ordered a size 40 (usually I am 39-40EU). The shoes arrived quickly, and I was excited to put them on, but a little disappointed that they felt quite loose. I understand that part of the point of barefoot shoes is to give the feet room to spread, however, they were also slightly long and floppy. They're ok when I wear thicker socks, so I am tending to do that when I wear them.

Another unfortunate thing about the shoes is the tread - they are very slippery on damp concrete and asphalt/bitumen. I discovered this the hard way when walking down hill on my street the other day in the rain, I slipped on a loose rock on the road and the shoes didn't grip to stabilise me at all so I fell.

Lovely fit

Love these shoes!

Completely changed my life.

Changed the way I walk, improved my balance.

Its barefoot or these shoes for me now.

The shoes do as expected - they're wide fitting & comfortable.
I have to clean them a lot so don't know how they'll stand up to that but time will tell.

Work in theatre in anaesthetics for 10 hours a day. Love them! So comfortable and no more back pain Highly recommend.

Perfect

I bought these to use in the gym weightlifting. They are amazing. Comfortable and plenty of room for the toes to spread out

He totally loves these!!

Very satisfied

Am loving my nimble toes shoes! They are fantastically comfy and have helped to improve my walking immensely. I got great service from bprimal which resulted in perfectly sized and fitting shoes. I would definitely buy these again.

Great Service, Great Product

No fuss no hassle exchange and now that I have the right size, my feet are thanking me.

Excellent service

Thanks so much for organising the exchange to a smaller size so efficiently and promptly.

Amazing shoes

Very comfortable shoes. I wear them mostly to work (I work in retail) my feet never feel sore or tired wearing these and I have them on for long periods of time.
I Highly recommend for comfort.
Thanks again :)

Great shoe

The team at BPrimal were very helpful figuring out sizing and swapping for the correct size.
The shoe does provide that barefoot feeling which I have wanted and need for my feet. I do feel that the laces could be a little further higher on the shoe so they hold my ankle a bit better as it feels like my foot may slip out sometimes. This may just be due to the shape of my foot. Overall very happy so far.

🌱 Joe Nimble specific FAQ's

Why choose Joe Nimble® running shoes?

Joe Nimble shoes are all about uncompromising toefreedom® — letting your toes spread naturally and giving your big toe its full stabilising power. With ToePilot® technology, the big toe anchors every step so you can move with stability and strength.

Conventional shoes often pinch or reshape the foot with tapered toe boxes and raised soles. Joe Nimble shoes are built differently — with a wide, foot-shaped toe box and designs that follow the natural asymmetry of the human foot. The result? Shoes that restore your feet’s natural function and support your whole body’s alignment.

Why is toe freedom important for runners?

Your big toe is the powerhouse of your stride — it stabilises the body and absorbs up to 10% of force during push-off. Traditional, tapered shoes squeeze the big toe inward, robbing it of its central role and throwing the body out of balance.

Joe Nimble fixes the root of the problem. Designed with input from biomechanics experts, these shoes allow your toes to spread, your big toe to engage, and your body to move the way it was built to. That means stronger strides, better balance, and fewer injuries.

Why do you need space in front of your toes?

Your feet change size throughout the day — slightly shorter in the morning and longer by evening. That’s why room in front of the toes is essential. It allows your foot bones and cartilage to move freely, keeps circulation flowing, and prevents pressure points. We recommend about 10mm of space from your longest toe to the shoe’s front edge for natural comfort (no more than 18mm).

How do I determine my Joe Nimble shoe size?

There’s a size chart for quick reference on each product, that shows the inner shoe length. Your toes should always have space to move freely: this is especially important for running. We recommend approx 10-12mm of space in front of your toes (no less than 6mm and no more than 18mm). Refer to our comprehensive Find your Perfect Fit page for guidance on exactly how to measure your feet and choose the right size.

Still not sure? Reach out to info@bprimal.com — the team is always happy to help.

What foot widths are Joe Nimble’s suitable for?

Joe Nimble shoes don’t need multiple width options because they’re designed on a natural, asymmetrical last. The shoes follow the real shape of the foot instead of squeezing it into a narrow, symmetrical mould.

Are Joe Nimble Women’s Shoes Narrower Than Those Men’s?

Not at the toes — toe freedom is non-negotiable for everyone. The only difference is at the heel, where women’s feet are naturally narrower. Otherwise, the principle of toefreedom® applies across all models.

How Long Do Joe Nimble Soles Last?

Sole durability depends on factors like running surface, shoe model, mileage, body weight, and running style. For example, trail soles are built for rugged off-road use, but will wear faster on asphalt.

Expect wear patterns to differ depending on how and where you use them.

Are Joe Nimble shoes better for trail or road?

Both! Every model is designed with maximum toe freedom. The difference lies in sole thickness and grip:

Thinner soles = more sensory feedback (great for shorter runs or stable surfaces)
Thicker soles = more cushioning and protection (ideal for long distances or uneven trails)

Can beginners run in Joe Nimble shoes?

Absolutely. These shoes are built around the natural anatomy of the foot, so your body doesn’t need to adapt to the shoe — the shoe adapts to you. That makes them just as suitable for beginners as for seasoned runners.

Are there waterproof shoes?

Yes. Joe Nimble offers models that are:

Waterproof – built with a membrane to keep feet dry even in heavy rain, while staying breathable
Water-repellent – treated to resist light drizzle (but may allow water in after longer use)
Non-waterproof – allows natural breathability but won’t resist rain

Check each product description for details, and refresh water-repellent pairs with a spray when needed.

How can I clean my Joe Nimble shoes?

Remove the footbed and wash shoes by hand in lukewarm water with mild soap
Let them air dry naturally (never on a heater)
Use a textile shoe cleaner for stubborn stains
For soaked shoes, stuff with newspaper and replace regularly until dry
Finish with a hoe deodorant for long-lasting shoe freshness, and a waterproofing spray for textile shoes
Don’t use a washing machine or dryer

Can I waterproof my shoes?

Yes. Textile models can be treated with a suitable waterproofing spray for added protection. Be sure to use a spray that is suitable for textile materials and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

Waterproof models already include a built-in membrane, so they don’t need extra treatment.

How can I care for my shoes so they last longer?

With a little care, your Joe Nimble shoes will keep supporting your adventures for the long haul:

Use a shoe tree to maintain shape and absorb moisture
Let shoes dry fully between wears (avoid direct heat)
Clean regularly with suitable care products, this preserves the elasticity of the upper material and protects it from drying out
Apply waterproofing sprays when needed, if applicable
Use shoe deodorant to kill bacteria and keep them fresh

This cream is quite good, help for massage, I feel relieved when I use it.

Excellent shoes, good quality. I got for my kid, very comfy !!!

These are the best boots I have ever worn

These are the best boots I have ever worn.
I've worn them most days in all conditions for the last 3 years and just bought more for a trip to Europe.

The best all round barefoot shoes

The best all round barefoot shoes. BPrimal recommend go 1/2 size up but for me the the 9.5 US were fine

Golf

I wear my Peak9+GTX for golf. Have never had wet feet, in Coffs Harbour that’s a good thing. Very comfortable shoes. Have just bought a second pair so I’m future proof.

Quality: Just Okay

Sadly not for me

Sadly not for me. Found them to hard on my feet, not enough flex.

Light and comfortable

Light and comfortable. Loving this boots, I was out all night but didn't have pain on my feet when I got home. My feet didn't feel too tired either. hopefully they are durable as well.

What I hate most about the Boulder Boot Grip WP is the lack of flex

These shoes are probably a 3 star to be fair, but I went with 2 because of the massive disappointment with where Lems have gone with the boulder boot. I freaking love the OG canvas brown boulder boot, I've worn them for years and they are still going, albeit the sole is worn down and not as comfy when I got them several years ago.

What I hate most about the Boulder Boot Grip WP is the lack of flex which makes it feel and perform like a regular boot. Yes, it has a wide toe box and zero drop but you don't get the ground feeling or flex that makes sure your feet do the work and they stay strong and healthy. They are quite heavy for a barefoot shoe too, I was really surprised and its very noticeable compared to the canvas model. Ankle support is way too much, another no no with barefoot shoes - the whole idea is for the foot and ankle to get flexible and strong, they can't with rigid soles and padding around the ankle. Not a fan of the speed hooks either.

They do seem well made, solid, durable and look good but they're not a barefoot shoe. This boot is perfect for people transitioning to barefoot shoes from normal shoes. They are a good first step to get familiar with the wide toe box and zero drop, but I definitely wouldn't recommend for seasoned barefoot shoe wearers. I'm really disappointed Lems are going this way with the boot, I'd love to see them bring back the canvas, a more flexible and lighter model.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback, Tony. We completely understand your disappointment, especially after having such a great experience with the original canvas Boulder Boots for so many years.

The Boulder Boot Grip WP is designed to be a more rugged, weather-resistant option, so it does have a different feel underfoot compared with the lighter and more flexible original Boulder Boot. We appreciate that this won't suit everyone, particularly those who prefer maximum flexibility and ground feel.

Your feedback about the weight, flexibility, ankle padding and speed hooks is really valuable, and we'll be happy to pass it along to Lems. We're glad you found the boots well made and durable, but we're sorry this particular model wasn't the barefoot experience you were hoping for.

Thanks again for sharing such a considered review and for being a long-time Boulder Boot wearer. 👣

Bargain vs vivobarefoot RA

Bargain vs vivobarefoot RA.

They are quite low volume, but I wouldn't necessarily size up, as they are going to stretch. But yes, first wear, they are half a size small.

Quality all seems perfect, greatly exceeds expectations for the price.

Toe box width is good, mid and heel is perfect, not too wide.

Vivobarefoot RA had way to much width in mid and heal, and has very thin sole, so this shoe is my new favourite casual/formal shoe, it solves both of those. You don't need paper thin soles on your formal casual shoes.

Durability is unknown, I will update.

Love my new barefoot slides…

Love my new barefoot slides….they feel so comfortable & look so stylish with jeans or a dress! My new everyday shoe for all seasons…
