Women’s Strand ATR

So surprised at how comfortable these shoes are. I am still getting a bit used to the look of this style but inside the house, I have been wearing them non-stop. I have some degeneration at the big toe joint that makes me shift my weight onto the little toe side when I walk but in these shoes, somehow, miraculously, the joint feels supported yet cushioned enough to place weight on it without pain or discomfort, helping my gait get back to normal. LOVE the color combination (I have the olive ones with the blue laces)!

I love these shoes! I initially ordered a half size up, but they were too big. I contacted the company, and they quickly sent me the form to get them replaced. I ordered a size 8, and they fit perfectly. Normally, I have to wear my Good Feet orthopedic inserts, but since I work out barefoot, I really wanted to try these. They felt a little strange at first, but after the second time using them on the treadmill (because it’s winter), I could really feel how my feet were working the way they’re supposed to when walking.

I have only worn these shoes a couple of times so far, and I am still getting used to the toe splay in the shoe, however, they really have made me feel lighter on my feet. I went for a ruck yesterday with my weighted vest and I could feel my whole leg working and my knees were not bearing all the weight. I can’t wait to go on my first medium trail hike with them and see how they hold up. If you are on the fence, hop off and grab a pair you will definitely be glad you did.
