Customer Reviews Vivobarefoot Jing Jing

I love these slip-on shoes. They are extremely light weight providing no support whatsoever. These are a true barefoot shoes. I got the nude color and wear them with casual shorts, pants and dresses. I also throw these into my purse as the other pair of shoes when the high heels start hurting. I have had these for over a year now and they are extremely durable. There are no obvious signs of wear.

LOVE these shoes! Classy, low profile, comfortable. I did end up going up a size. I'm normally a solid 7.5, but the 8.5 fit best.

Great show! Very cute, great for the office and you can even wear them for your lunchtime walks! I'm a barefooted at heart and these are super comfy.

These shoes really do make you feel as though you were barefoot. They immediately adapt to your foot and fit like a second skin, very comfortable. And they're really cute. I absolutely love them.

These are very comfortable, but run a bit small. I bought a size 41 (I normally wear a size 9) - a 42 would have been better. It is not built to support your feet, which is my preference.

Love this shoe. I used to wear the five finger shoe, but the style I liked is not longer available so I had been looking for replacement. These are great and stay on. Rubbed my little toe on first wear but still feels great.

It wears well and does what it is supposed to do. No complaints here. I also previously purchased the beige one and wanted a black one, so now I have both colors!

I love these shoes. They are super comfortable and fit true to size. I feel that I can't take them off. They are like being barefoot, so if you are looking for a sole, these have none.

I ordered these shoes to wear at a wedding reception after it became necessary to abandon the matching heels. They were very comfortable and I received many compliments both for the look of the shoe and the foresight to acquire matching ballet flats. There was enough support to enjoy walking, standing and dancing. There was enough style to blend with an elegant occasion.

The sizing is not listed correctly. I'd say measure your feet and go by the metric measurements. I ordered my size originally and exchanged them for one centimeter up. Fits well. Did not chafe at all and material is very high quality PU. Normally I won't touch anything that's fake leather because it looks cheap but these are really nice. I didn't think they made my feet too sweaty like some other reviewers.

Bought these in navy. The toe is shallow, so they fit small. They do stretch, and they are the most indestructible shoe ever. Buying 3 more colors in a half size larger. As close to barefoot as you can get short of only wearing socks.

I liked the color, pretty true to shown maybe slightly duller finish but still a fun pop of color. That said, I didn't like these at first try on - just didn't seem to have enough cushioning. As I am looking for shoes that I can wear on a vacation in which I intend to do a lot of city walking, I was skeptical these would provide the necessary support and comfort so I decided to return them.

The synthetic leather was too hard and gave my huge toe blisters. I liked the soles though.

Love these shoes! I just bought them in a second color because I love the "pool blue" but it doesn't go with everything. Basically the closest thing to walking barefoot when having shoes on.

I would love to just walk around barefoot, but these are almost better! I was looking for easy slip on shoes that look good with jeans or skirts and these are the perfect shoe. I know other reviewers said there is no ventilation, so they were overly warm, but I didn't have that problem (though I normally don't have sweaty feet, so...). Basically, these are my favorite shoes and I'm psyched spring/summer is here because then I can wear them every day. So comfortable!

These shoes are definitely an aesthetic step up compared earlier casual versions of minimalist/barefoot shoes. In 2012 I purchased the Vivobarefoot: Mary Jane (size 41) in black and Vivobarefoot: Kali (size 41) in brown to wear to work. My job involves a lot of walking around and my feet are very sensitive to tight fitting shoes with any sort of heel. After wearing these two styles (Vivo Kali and Mary Jane) for well over a year my feet are very happy but I have to admit I feel like quite a frump. I was jumping for joy when the Jing Jings came out because they actually look like a normal ballet flat. Overall I'd say that they're a much better compromise between making my feet happy and not feeling like a complete frump! I am normally sized at or around a 9.5. I have pretty bad bunions, which require a wider toe box. I originally ordered the a size 40 but am exchanging them for a 41 mainly because my toes felt too scrunched together. I also own and have been regularly wearing the Vivobarefoot: Jazz in a 41, which fits me perfectly (my favorite casual non-work shoes) so it seems like their sizing is pretty consistent across vivo's shoe styles. A previous reviewer had mentioned that the Jing Jings stretch with time when sizing down, however, if your feet are anything like mine (i.e. have little tolerance for discomfort) then I would suggest sizing up.

I have run in Vivobarefoot shoes in the past and decided to give the Jing Jing a try. I love the barefoot feel and style. The front comes back enough so you don't see toe cleavage. They fit perfectly, I went with a size 9 (I'm usually a 8 1/2-9 depending on brand). They are super comfortable right out of the box and I've worn them around inside to get used to them. I bought black and these don't disappoint. They can be dressed up or down. I'll definitely be back to get more colors as they come available. These are an investment in a great long lasting shoe!

I originally got this in a size 39 since my first pair of Vivos is 39. I had to exchange a size up. The width of the shoe was perfect for me in size 39, but my toes were being crushed. In size 40 my toes fit perfectly in the shoe, but it's a little wider and there is a small gap between my foot and the top part of the shoe. Despite that, the shoe stays on my foot. I've only tried on the shoe and I haven't actually walked around in them for a long time yet. I do love the sleek style of the shoe and it looks like it might withstand some abuse, which would be perfect since I would be walking around in these for long periods of time. I was looking for a flat that would work with both dresses and jeans. I love the minimal look of Vivo shoes so I hope despite the weird width of the shoes that these will work out in the end.

I love these shoes. I've worn them almost every day for the past 8 months. But I would really like it if they came in cranberry, forest, charcoal, and teal. They do get a little stinky, but I just put a couple of drops of lavender essential oil onto the inner sole every few days and it seems to solve the problem. Please Vivo Barefoot - make the Jing Jing in a lot more colors. I would buy them.

I love these shoes! It's so fun to walk around essentially barefoot. They do get a little hot, because they do not breathe at all. But I love them, and I want more colors! RED, please!

I think these are adorable but I had to return them for a different size. I ordered both these and the vivobarefoot Nancy shoes in the same size. The Nancy's fit perfectly and the Jing Jing's were much smaller and hit my front toe.

I love these shoes. Not only are they perfect for everyday wear (and evening wear) but they also performed admirably on a dirt mountain track in the Himalayan foothills!

Just bought my 6th pair of Jing Jings (orange, yellow, brown, gray, a second pair of orange on sale, and now the blue). The first 5 all fit the same, but the blue pair was different. More gathered at the top, and the sole is a little smaller. Returned them for the next size up, and they fit great. Not sure if it's just the blue, if the size is different with the new season's colors, or what, but I plan to get the pink and bronze so I'll keep you posted.

The best flats ever. I had been looking for some simple flats, bought the yellow ones & loved them, so I bought them in black too. Super comfortable. They also have survived considerable wear & tear! Great soles. I love these shoes. (This brand also has the best simple sneaker you can find!)

I love these shoes and could live in them. They definitely feel like you're barefoot, so don't expect a lot of traditional support. But they are adorable and comfortable. Highly recommend.
