Bahé boots

I absolutely love the look and level of waterproofing these practical yet stylish hiking boots have… sadly they are just so stiff, I was really disappointed.
Can’t really class them as barefoot when the soles barely flex at all unfortunately.
I’m absolutely gutted because in every other way they are perfect for what I needed and they stated “highly flexible” which is just not the case.

I think returns are expensive so looks like I’ll be selling them on sadly.

Hi Megan, thanks very much for your order and detailed feedback, it's appreciated. We're sorry to hear the boots didn't work out as you'd hoped. It's worth noting with the Rediscover style, they do soften up with more wear. As they have the extra waterproofing layers the upper is a bit firmer out of the box compared to our trainers, but this gets softer, contributing to the overall flexibility. This is also the case with the sole. Some 'barefoot boots' are just a thin rubber outsole whereas our also includes a thin 6mm midsole. So with there being two layers, this becomes more flexible with wear.

standard to barefoot transition shoe

It feels like a solid shoe, and I like it very much that the sole is made out of earthing materials. The material is very tough though and it takes a long time to break in. I still get some blistering on my heels even after several weeks of wearing.

Overall I miss the barefoot feeling, for me they feel quite heavy and clunky on my feet.
Might be a good standard to barefoot transition shoe for some people.

Toe box too wide to chunky

The sole is fantastic, the right thickness, right material, grip, etc.
The toe box is stupidly wide, tall, roomy, chunky, it's probably a deal breaker. The idea of 0 drop is good, but the idea that the toes must keep spreading to infinit, I find it stupid.
Why no one makes 0 drop shoes with a normal width, or let's say slightly roomy toe box ? Why it has to be ridiculously wide, tall and chunky ??
If someone could redesign this boot, being 0 drop but normal width, it would be fantastic.

Hi Abel, thanks a lot for your order and for providing your feedback. The toebox is intentionally foot-shaped to allow better to spread and more natural foot function. Hopefully your feet will enjoy the extra room as you wear the boots more.

Very satisfied with my purchase

I ordered the Women’s Dune model in size 8 and delivery was very prompt. I have wide feet and the boots fitted nicely. The quality seems high so I expect them to be durable for a number of years and give you good protection on difficult terrain. They are of medium flexibility which I did not realise when I bought them but it actually does say that in the description 😅 .Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would buy again.
