The shoes, although arriving in a shabby looking box, the shoes itself are of great quality. I followed the sizing guide and picked a size slightly larger than my exact size and it had fit nearly perfectly. Although these are nitpicks, some of the stitching came a bit loose, and I took a flame to it and smushed it in, and due to me still being new towards walking in these shoes, the back heel of the sole seems to wear out quickly if you drag your feet. Overall I am satisfied with this shoe as it fits all the criteria that I bought it for, and ended up meeting my expectations for the price I have paid.

I am really thrilled with these boots. I have spent £100s on other makes of barefoot leather boots that have not lasted. It is great to have a pair of beautifully designed boots that are made with European leather. You can immediately tell that they are very high quality. And a real bonus to be able in the future to resole them.

I agree with another reviewer that they need breaking in, and to me that is a sign of quality leather.

The boots look really smart, and are very comfortable. Nice colour as well.

I looked long and hard, and finally found the Sneaky Ninjas Barefoot Safety Trainers.
The time between the order and the delivery took some patience, but was clearly stated upfront.
They arrived in good order and I am happy from the first time I tried them on.
Very comfortabel and I am able to stand the whole day.
So, I can highly recommend these shoes.

Felicito a Lisandro y a todo su equipo por lograr un producto de excelencia.
Llegaron ayer y justo me tocó estrenarlas. De Irlanda a Argentina en 5 días: muy rápido el proceso de envío, con la posibilidad de hacer el seguimiento paso a paso, y que DHL igualmente avise en cada instancia del proceso via mail.
Era el único tipo de calzado que me faltaba. Ya había migrado todo el resto. Incluso haciendo reformas sobre dos pares de sandalias convencionales, gracias a algunas personas que ya están fabricando de modo artesanal calzado barefoot en Argentina, donde vivo.
Obviamente no es la misma comodidad que un calzado deportivo o urbano, por las normas de seguridad que requiere este tipo de calzado. Pero a pesar de ello, me resultaron extremadamente cómodas: no se siente tanto su peso, deja espacio en la amplia puntera para el libre movimiento de los dedos, y mantiene la flexibilidad a la hora de caminar o agacharse. Excelente calidad de materiales y terminación, por lo que creo que a pesar de no ser de cuero, están hechas para durar mucho tiempo.
¡Muchas gracias! Estoy MUY feliz con la compra.

I have searched like crazy for the best barefoot wide toe box foot shaped steel toe work shoes/boots and I have tried almost everything under the sun. Then the shoes came along and I am never buying anything else! These shoes are perfection! They have changed my life at work allowing me to cover safety requirements for my job while allowing my feet to move freely and comfortably I am beyond sold and I thank you all for making these shoes I can’t say it enough BEST SHOES EVER!!

Really impressed by these barefoot safety work trainers! Very comfortable (even after what it felt like 'walking a marathon' at work) and light. True to size. Would highly recommend!

Very good! I like it!

I have been waiting for a proper pair of barefoot safety shoes for 5yrs. These are great, it feels so good to get heavy, oversized safety boots off my feet after such a long time. The only criticism I have is that after supplying my foot measurements & Verifyt scan, I was advised that a 41EW would be a comfortable fit for me. In reality, I think the 42EW would have been better as my feet reach the end of the shoes & I can only wear them with thin socks. On the very positive is the build quality appears to be exceptionally good.

The Goodyear Welted Barefoot Chukka Boots in Chocolate Brown are a timeless blend of rugged craftsmanship and refined style. I purchased them specifically to pair with dresses, and they strike the perfect balance between structure and femininity. The chocolate brown leather is rich and beautifully finished—elegant without being flashy.

They do require socks and a bit of breaking in, as expected with a proper Goodyear welt, but it’s clear these boots are built to last. The natural foot shape and grounded feel make them unlike any traditional dress boot. I’m excited to see them soften and mold to my feet over time—they’re already turning heads.

The Sneaky Ninjas in Nettle and Suede are pure luxury. The suede is exceptionally soft—like slipping your feet into a cloud—and the muted green tone is both refreshing and elegant. They feel amazing from the moment you put them on and pair effortlessly with everything from jeans to dresses.

I absolutely love my Sneaky Ninjas in Black Nobik and Suede! They’re stunning—rich in depth and truly mesmerizing. Incredibly comfortable and effortlessly versatile, they’ve quickly become a favorite in my wardrobe.

Agree with the other guy who left a review. You don't find this type of quality in craftmanship and leather in the barefoot industry. Leather is natural and feels like a second skin wrapped around your foot. It looks and feels like a traditionally handmade boot and not some cheap labour mainstream boot.
Size chart seems right in terms of length, but a bit off in terms of width by 4mm in the extra wide last so take that into consideration. But if you are between sizes like me, go down half a size because the stretchy leather makes it wear half a size bigger. It literally feels like a sock so no need to size up.
Well worth the price and and i hope they continue to grow and release more models in the affordable collection.

Gaucho Ninja has been a blessing for me. Been barefoot for 8 years and i have missed a brand that takes pride in creating a leather shoe in this quality. In the barefoot industry, all of them are mostly cheap labour. Not the case with Gaucho Ninja. You can see the attention to detail in the craftmanship. Has the feeling of handmade goods by people who take pride in their work.
The leather is high quality too. All natural and stretchy that fits like a sock. Upper, the lining, insole are all leather.

Im really intrigued to see what they do next as they put every other barefoot brand's cheap synthetic leather shoes to shame. Gaucho is next level.

These shoes look so unique and stylish. I wish the toe box was a bit wider but I have really wide feet. They are very comfortable and give you a good connection to the ground when you are walking. They are well constructed and made of sustainable materials and have no doubt that they will last for years - even if something does wear out, they are serviceable like shoes used to be!

This is a true barefoot dress shoe with a wide toe box. The construction is very high quality and the fit is perfect. This is the kind of shoe you almost forget you’re wearing because it fits so well.
