Very comfortable and functional barefoot winter shoes with great looks and some minor issues. At first, the hard surface on the heels caused some blisters. I would have returned it then, but the shoes were otherwise so perfect, I decided to keep them and solve the issue by sticking kinesiotape on back of the heels, which worked like a charm. The sole is a little thicker than regular brefoot shoes, but that's a good thing in winter time. The insulation is great, and they feel warm without being suffocating. The ideal temperature for these shoes are between -5 and +5. Below that, you need to wear woolen socks. Tested in Lapland, I can say their comfortable limit is -10 degress with woolen socks. These shoes are very flexible and comfortable without compromising good looks. Best winter sneakers I've owned. Just be prepared to stick some tape on the heels, and have a warmer pair for below -10.

Zero-warm, even slightly hot shoes. No experience with winter use, but they look really good. The heel of the other shoe was about to be rubbed from the point where the heel stiffener and softer shoe began, but that was the end when he bent and softened the abrasion point of the shoe by hand. The shoe is 1.8cm bigger than the foot size and that was a good size. Even the smaller size was in the fit but that would have been cramped with the wool sock. Now you can do it with a thin sock when you tighten the straps well and the wool socks and even the other insole can fit well when cool. I have been satisfied!
When I put them on my feet for the first time, Judge Nurmio's ton of stiflat began to ring in my ears! These are my first barefoot shoes and quite insanely good! I have used them all the time. I do snow work for my work and they are perfect for it, my feet don’t get wet on a 12 hour work day, and the coldest has been -27 and it went great with wool socks without any extra insoles when I just stayed on the move. These are damn stylish rummy shoes where the feet get the treatment of a king. I was a little worried about the price, as I’ve never put more than 60 euros in my shoes, but now I understand why you are investing in kandee shoes. Full five stars !!
