I have been wearing the shoes every day for about a month now. The shoes are very comfortable to wear and also look good on the outside. Since these are my first barefoot shoes, I can't compare my walking experience with others, but what I have noticed in my own use is that due to the thin sole of the shoe, walking in an urban environment can sometimes feel heavy, due to the almost 100% asphalt and concrete base. However, the shoes have very good insoles that work surprisingly well as shock absorbers. Walking in nature works well, which I was a little skeptical about at first. When I was rolling around on Koli and hiking there, the shoes proved to be great, as long as I avoid stepping on the sharpest rocks/terrain spots. The shoes adapt well to nature and feel really comfortable on natural surfaces.
As a minus, I could say that there could be one more hole for the shoelaces at the top so that the shoes could be pulled up higher to be tight. Sometimes, due to this reason, it may feel that the shoes "spin" on the foot, especially if the foot is sweaty.

I have already managed to visit Joe Ninblei for a few days. The shoes feel quite good on the feet and the last is wide enough for my feet. I think the laces should have had one more link closer to the ankles, so the shoes could be tied a little more firmly.
Compared to the earliest barefoot shoes I used, these have quite stiff and thick soles. They don't feel like barefoot shoes in the same way as the Merrel Vapor Glove 3 and Vibram fivefingers shoes I used before.
In my opinion, Joe Nimbles look really nice, so I dare to walk around in these. I am satisfied with my purchase. Time will tell how well these shoes hold up.
