The shoe width is very good. But the tongue and ankle part is too low and no any pad. The shoelace cut directly on top of my vein around the ankle make my leg is not comfortable. Definitely not suggest to people has varicose vein or circulation problem.

This is my second pair of Notace. I knew I would love them. Finally someone has made a shoe with a wide toe box that is also good looking! Bravo!

Love these shoes. So comfortable from day 1 at an amusement park and a 2.5 mile run on a treadmill. So lightweight and they look great, I’ve worn through a couple pair of Altra Escalante shoes and have some Merrells. I like the look of these better. One thing though, they run small. I’d advise sizing up 1/2 or 1 full size. I had to return my first pair for 1/2 size larger.

Loving my michi 1’s. This is my first go with Novace, and I think I’m in love. I work out at orange theory, so I have ran 4+ miles at once in them, sprinted, rower, and weight floor. Love feeling the ground under me! I find I have better grip when I’m on the weight floor jumping, squatting, etc. I sized up 1/2 size and perfect! Very cute shoe…several folks have stopped me to ask about them. Even my husband noticed and wants a pair…ordering now!

Love everything about the shoes, except how the eyelet at the big toe rubs on my bunion. That irritation create a spiral affect into my hips . Love the wide toe box, so I laces the shoe without using that eyelet and all is well.

Weirdly shaped and the tongue is sewed to the side of the shoe on one side so it pulls it off center. Do not recommend if you have high arches

I usually wear barefoot shoes, but wanted a little more cushion for some light jogging. These fit the bill! Usually wear a nine but sometimes 9.5. Took a nine in these. Went by foot measurement and the chart. Worked out well. The black and white looks very nice.

Disappointing. Sizing is off, feet slide forward in shoes and hitting the front. Too bad there are not enough eyelets to give option for heel lock lacing.

I love them. I don't like that I had to pay so much shipping just to try a coulple of sizes. Not sure I would order from your website again.

I have been running in my Mitchi for 35 miles now. Usually 3 or so miles at a time. The fit in the heels is great! I do wish they were just a tad wider in the toe box. I feel my little toe press against the side of the shoe a bit. I've been wearing minimalist shoes for about 4 years. Overall very lightweight and good level of cushion for road running. Very nice looking as well.

I am 73 and new to using a minimalist shoe. Lately I have been lifting weights barefoot and finding how much more effective it is to feel the ground and how that alone is strengthening my feet and ankles. I tried this shoe on and loved the feel and anticipate I will be more present with the movement of my whole self when walking.

These shoes are the lightest I've ever worn. They are extremely comfortable, and I can't wait to wear them on my vacation to the South of France.

Im am more in love with my Michi 1 (white/cream) than I anticipated.
Sleek and current design, breathable mesh upper, flexible yet supportive. I felt more tall as I walked. It was a light happy change to my gait. I think they will be a pleasure to travel with in lieu of bulking 'traditional' shoes.

These are the best looking natural shape shoes I’ve found. They’re comfortable and I think have improved my balance. I found them to be truer to size, once my orthotics were put in.

I’d like my next pair to have speed laces.

Love this shoe and will purchase again in the future. I have painful bunions and wide feet and this shoe allows me to walk 15k steps a day. Bravo!

I’m not happy with this purchase. The shoes have virtually no arch support. There is no way I can wear them. For the price of $165.00, I expected a better designed shoe.

Hi Janice, we're sorry to hear these shoes didn't meet your expectations. You are right, we have no built-in arch support and that is 100% intentional. Our shoes feature a flat, flexible sole and are designed without built-in arch support. This is a purposeful choice to promote natural foot movement and allow your feet to adapt and strengthen over time, rather than relying on a fixed structure. For those who prefer extra support, there are many insoles available that can be added for a more customized feel.

They were a little short. That is the reason for the return.

I like the shoes, but they seem to be too short...I ordered 1/2 size up based on the reviews, but should have ordered one full size up. I'll wear them for a while and make a decision about whether to order more then.

Historically, I hate wearing shoes. As soon as I get home, they come off. However, the first day I wore my Notace Michis, I had no problem continuing to wear them. They walk that fine line between being light enough to be comfortable and protective enough to inspire confident movement. The tongue stays in place, they have enough room for my long big toe, and they breathe spectacularly. I’m so excited to keep wearing these shoes!

I love this shoe. Most comfortable shoe I own. I have it in 2 colors!

Beautiful shoe! I ordered it a little small. It runs a little larger so I would size up.

Very lightweight and breathable with good support while having a barefoot feel

I've only had these shoes for 3 weeks but they are exactly what I've been looking for. My feet are used to 7mm stack or less but I started running and need some cushion. The 30mm stacks from Altra are not it. This shoe has the perfect amount of cushion without hindering natural foot movement and flex. I love them! My only concern would be how they hold up over time because the sole is so light it might not be as durable, but we'll see!
