Gaucho Ninja Gift Card

I have worn these boots off and on for about a year now. The initial pair I received in 2025 had some issues with the outsoles separating and popped stitching after a month or so. After sending them back, I received a new pair which lasted a bit longer, but they also had issues with the stitching. Since then, I have received my current pair which has lasted me a month and a half with no issues! Returns were processed quite smoothly. Karen did a fantastic job resolving my issues and communicating expectations. I stoop, squat and walk a lot in these shoes. The new triple stitch and rivet on the upper seems to have resolved my issues with the popped stitching.

Out of the box, these boots are stiff and will require a week or so to break in. I recommend wearing the laces a bit loose during that time. I wear hiking socks with mine and the rubbing at the heel and top of foot is fairly minimal if you keep the speed laces snug. I love these boots! They are very roomy in the toe box. My feet get pretty hot, but the tradeoff is that my feet are quite safe. I work in commercial kitchens 40+ hours a week. Concrete floors and tile all day are tough on the feet, but my feet don't develop hot spots anymore thanks to these boots.

The non slip feature of the outsole.far exceeds any other brand I have tried (Keen, Shoes for Crews, Walmart's Chads). I can see it will eventually wear out, but it's holding well for now. I hope I can get them rebuilt when that day comes.

This is a much improved version from the original Chelsea safety toe 1.0 boots! I felt that original version felt a little too loose fitting in the upper portion of the boot. Version 2.0 is feels much more secure while still having that roomy toe box feel. I work in HEMS so having a boot that can offer solid toe protection and be flexible enough to get in and out of vehicles is vital. The clean, minimalistic and modern aesthetic is versatile enough to be easily worn outside of the work environment. I would highly recommend this safety toe boot!

Have been wearing barefoot shoes for about 10 years now . Recently discovered Gaucho Ninja, and ordered their Chelsea boot for business casual use. Couldn’t be more impressed. The style and comfort level far exceeds any other brand out there! I’m on my feet for 10hrs a day and these have been amazingly comfortable. I’ve tried multiple top brands on the industry, which I was partial to vivobarefoot, but these far exceed those for the boot category! If you need a boot that can be worn casual or in an office setting this is it! Would highly recommend! Will be purchasing more in another color .

Finally a barefoot safety shoe! The quality of materials and construction is fantastic. The sole is plenty flexible, not as flexible as some barefoot shoes however for the purpose i would say its well judged between longevity, flexibility and protection. The toe box is super wide. Slightly wider than vivo barefoots that i wear out of work. Overall really happy with them, would definitely buy again

Love the look and feel of these.

A couple of weeks of wearing the new 2.0 Chelsea boots and I'm really impressed with the comfort so far.

I'm a trucker so my work is a lot of driving and loading and unloading some pretty heavy wheeled cages.

The boots have been perfect so far.

I'm not sure they'd be tough enough for building sites and similar but for me they are the perfect combination of toughness and comfort.

I love barefoot shoes and the Barefoot Pals desert boots in black are probably the most comfortable ones I've worn. I also like the fact that theycan be used for less casual situations as well.

When I ordered these boots I figured they bigger toe box would make a roomier fit than my regular steel-toe boots but I never expected them to be so comfortable. The insole even though it appears thin is surprisingly soft and cushioning, the leather is sturdy and supportive without feeling constricting, and the weight difference is crazy they feel like they weigh half what my old boots did! I will definitely be keeping these boots and re-soling them when the time comes, and if you're unsure about wearing them on hard surfaces I work about 13 hrs on concrete and haven't had any issues.

These shoes are amazing, love my pair and i will definitely being going back again to buy another pair

Superb boots.

I have been wearing these tabi for many years. I just received a new pair. Went down a size from last time to allow for stretching. The price has come down a great deal since I purchased my first pair. They are very good value for the price and I highly recommend them

My feet measure: 26cm long//10cm wide//medium volume feet
First impressions: I have been using barefoot shoes exclusively for both training and everyday for five years now and this was the last thing missing. They do feel a bit stiff and heavy, but thats nothing compared to the "normal" work boots. They will need some breaking in - some pain with chafing on my left heel, but that is to be expected with this type of shoe. To me it feels like a lot of room around the toes (also above), but the shoes still stay in place perfectly when laced properly all the way up. The build is out of this world, and such a nice quality for apporximately the same price i would have had to pay for "normal" work boots.
I see some reviews being negative, but I wonder if that has to do with them not being used to barefoot and have a gate that does not work well with this type of boot yet. It does take some getting used to, and the right muscles in the feet need to be trained.
However, it would have been nice with better size guidance. I.e. info on the width and length of the insole for each size as well as how they are expected to fit on low, medium and high volume feet. I got lucky with the size, but from other reviews I can see that other people weren´t.
To summarize: I am very happy and will most likely be using and mending these shoes as long as I can.

Just got the Hattori Hanzo Tabis. they are amazing quality, craftsmanship and beauty!
