Stylish, lightweight, and very comfortable barefoot shoes. If it weren't for legal restrictions, I would wear only barefoot-type footwear. The price is adequate to the quality and fully corresponds to it.

I have been using these slippers as everyday shoes for several years. First of all, I recommend adding an insole to the inside, preferably a stiff one made of polyurethane foam - this prevents the interior from wearing out prematurely. In terms of functionality, this is a very specific type of footwear designed strictly for light terrain and the city. The main advantages are breathability and no pressure on the feet, which makes them perfect for work, driving, and any activity in high temperatures - although personally I use them all year round when it doesn't snow, regulating insulation with socks. The level of water resistance is exactly 0/10, although on the other hand they retain so little water that after they get wet, you just need to take them off, change your socks, dry your feet, and you can go on with dry feet. The main disadvantage, however, is the price: neither the production technology, quality, nor amount of materials justifies the cost, even though this is one of the few shoe brands produced in Poland (Zduńska Wola). The lifespan of a pair for someone who walks about 10km a day I would estimate at 4-12 months, with such a spread due to the significant influence of the surface and walking style on the speed at which the relatively thin sole wears out - the upper is essentially indestructible.

The shoes are comfortable, lightweight, don't get wet right away, they're easy to walk in and have an interesting look. The foot doesn't sweat, there are no abrasions, they don't get hot in the heat, and they're a good buy. I recommend them.

They are comfortable and look good. They can be washed in the washing machine (I had to because the cat peed on them ;)). They work well for walking as well as movement, training, etc. The flat thin sole really helps with that.

Fantastic shoes. If you’re a fan of barefoot shoes and healthy feet, this is a really great choice. I’ve been using them for a year and wouldn't trade them for any other shoes. Just keep in mind that in heat your feet might sweat.

Very lightweight and breathable shoes, can be worn without socks although I personally don’t prefer it. The sole has good grip, but is thin and lacks cushioning, which requires getting used to and a slightly different walking style – they work very well indoors or in the city.

A very interesting experience, I can't wait to see what the long-term effects will be. The shoes are light and breathable, and for this type of construction, they are also quite solid. I recommend them.

Great barefoot shoes from Brubeck – I recommend them to anyone who has foot problems or simply wants to have healthy feet. These are wide shoes that do not restrict the movement of your foot inside. They are lightweight and breathable.

An excellent type of footwear. The shoes are very lightweight and flexible. The stitching pattern gives them an elegant appearance. The material, stitching, and sole are of high quality (personally, I bought one size larger and am satisfied). The merino wool does its job—together with socks, it regulates temperature well, and your feet don’t sweat. The thin sole significantly affects the lack of cushioning and naturally encourages a positive change in the way you walk. I highly recommend these to everyone.

Light and breathable footwear. They work well for everyday use. The material is even quite durable, though I wouldn't use them for work. They are very breathable for summer.

Comfortable and breathable shoes that even on a cooler day (tested down to +15°C) provide thermal comfort. Unfortunately, their breathability doesn't work well on wet days, especially on wet grass – they soak through very quickly. Be careful with sizing, I took a size larger than usual (according to the size chart, after measuring my foot) and the shoes fit just right. I recommend adding 1-1.5cm to your actual foot size.
