Wide Barefoot Dress Shoe!
I've been looking at this particular shoe for a while, so when I saw Groundies had a US-specific website, I ordered a pair. The quality and craftsmanship are definitely there. My only complaint is the laces. The laces these shoes come with are too long. This has been mentioned before by other customers and Groundies continues to sell these with ridiculously long laces. I think it's good practice as a business to listen to your customers. Overall, I'll definitely be buying more Groundies shoes. I hope to see them offer more colors and styles in the Barefoot + fit. I'm about to put in an order for some Blaze sneakers.

True Barefoot Dress Shoe
I've been looking at this particular shoe for a while, so when I saw Groundies had a US-specific website with a good return policy, I ordered a pair. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the laces. This is the only thing that makes the shoes not perfect. The reason this is a big deal to me is because it has be pointed out before, and Groundies continues to sell their shoes with 40 inch laces, which are far too long for shoes with four eyelets per side. That said, these are high-quality shoes. The craftsmanship is definitely there, and I plan to buy a pair of their Blaze sneakers in the near future. Overall, I really hope Groundies offers more shoes and colors in the Barefoot+ lineup, because the more freedom the toes have, the better! I'd love to see the Palermo offered in brown and gray.
