They hurt my feet just a little, but honestly I think I'm still breaking them in. I like the room for my toes, and I love the color.

Cheap materials. Don’t waste your money. I bought a pair only 3 months ago and there is already a hole in the toe box. Really disappointing quality for the price. I would have expected them to last a lot longer. It’s a shame as the shoes are very comfortable. But I recommend finding a better quality brand as Notace will not last you.

Hi Jessica, thank you for your feedback. We stand by our product and we use very premium materials on our shoes. Holes in the upper mesh can develop for a number of reasons, such as catching on objects, damage by toenails, or toe lift. These shoes have been tested extensively and this is not a common issue. We are sorry the shoes did not fit your needs!

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.

I am slowly transitioning to these as I have worn sneakers with a great deal more cushion and arch supports. The are comfortable and have recommended them to others.

The Michi 1 is the best fitting shoe I've found within the "barefoot" community. People have commented on "how" I walk. I feel like I'm connected to every part of my step. I can feel the simple ground reaction force. I've earned these shoes! My foot is protected and allowed to move.

The notace koto court shoe is absolutely amazing!!!!! So i purchased the michi shoes to use for my gym workouts, walking, and occasional jogging. They are terrible. I feel like i am wearing bedroom slippers outside. I am so disappointed.

Hi Susan, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are happy you are enjoying the Koto; the Michi is supposed to have a very different feel - they are, by design, not as structured and supportive as the koto. The michi is meant to be a very light weight shoe that allows the feet complete freedom. We realize not every shoe will be a great fit for everyone and activity, and that is completely fine :)

So light and comfortable, exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’m happy to find a brand moving away from the super cushy thick heel. Enough stability and support for a long road run, but still feels like a barefoot shoe. Fits true to size, and I love the look of them.

Loveeee. They are so unbelievably light and comfortable. They have a wider toe box without being crazy wide. The foam is firm without being stiff and are still comfortable and cushioned for a run. I did size up .5 size and like how they fit (I tend to like the lower end of space) but I honestly could have gone up a full size. Regardless just measure your foot and use the size chart. I will definitely be considering getting the Yamas too!

Very comfy and light weight! Plus as a bonus they look really cute with almost anything.

I’m loving my new shoes. They are super comfortable and look so good. Happy customer!

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.

Love them.

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.

I am a physical therapist who has never worn this type of shoe. I was amazed that my feet and body adjusted so easily! They are very comfortable and fit true to size
