I've worn these Yazdi boots for the past three months on patrol. I've been in barefoot shoes for the past 14 years. I transitioned away from years in normal boots before that. It has been a struggle to find quality barefoot boots that perform great and look great. Search is over. I can walk for hours in these and just let my feet do their thing.

The leather is high quality and holds a shine really well. After you apply some polish, a quick buff up brings the shine back.

The boots are stiff the first few days, but worth the molding that happens between the leather and your feet. They slowly become amazing!

I look forward to resoling these down the road.

Well done, Gaucho Ninja!

As someone who has short but abnormally wide feet, these are an absolute blessing. I've finally now got a pair of boots that truly fit my feet - and not only do they fit but they are so comfortable. Worth every penny in my opinion. The only thing I would say that was slightly disappointing is that the boots are nowhere near the colour from the photos. The photos show them as a dark brown with hints of tan showing through, which I would have much preferred, but in reality the boots more closely resemble a dark purple, as shown in my review's photo. Still very happy overall though given how difficult it is to find boots that fit.

Perfect fit and comfort. The quality of leather and attention to detail are truly worth every penny. Another important thing was the look and they didn't disappoint in this regard either.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a true non compromise barefoot boots and classic chukka look.

I absolutely love these barefoot boots. After a short breaking in period (no blisters!!) the quality leather has become so supple that I want to wear them everywhere all the time.
I used the size guide on the website and ended up with a 43, which is what I normally have and is a perfect fit.
I’m still new at walking in barefoot shoes so my feet and legs still have to get used to the new reality, but these boots make this process so much easier, just because they feel great, look great and yes, even smell great.
I opted for the extra wide version and I have to be honest, seen from above they look a bit odd compared to other shoes because of their unusual shape, but my toes are so happy with the extra space they get that I haven’t regretted my choice for one second. And they do look so much better than most of the other barefoot shoes out there!
The only downside I can see is that I don’t know what will happen to my other shoes now. One thing is clear, I can never go back to narrow toe boxes.
Thank you so much Gaucho Ninja for being there. And thanks to myself for searching until I found you :-) and not ending up with mostly ugly, unrepairable barefoot shoes from any other brand.
I will cherish these boots and spoil them with shoe trees and good leather care products.

Amazing boots that go with pretty much everything. Sizing is spot on and they have quickly become the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned. Highly recommend these boots!

Honestly these Boots just look amazing and beautiful. I get compliments from my friends that the boots that Im wearing look really nice and they constantly keep getting looks from strangers when I’m in public. I can honestly wear these boots casually and when I’m dressing for a special occasion. But not only do they look beautiful, they feel tremendously comfortable, feel's light on the feet, and they don’t even require breaking them in, it feels fantastic right off the bat. I was contemplating in getting them for about 2 months and now that I have them, I honestly have no regrets, they are WORTH IT. I honestly don’t feel like taking them off sometimes. So far, I put about 100 miles in them, walking, running from time to time, and I’m going to say it again, they feel amazing. These feel like they are going to last me for REALLY long time while still keeping it’s beautiful looks. I HIGHLY recommend them.

The fit and feel are top notch; arguably the classiest highest-quality boots I've ever owned. They feel handcrafted because they are, and pair well with anything. Great for everday use whenever possible. Purchased the extra-wide to save room for toe spacers. In short, these are sublime!

I really like these boots. They are of very good quality. Leather feels also to be of a good quality; not superb but pretty good (I think for superb quality one has to go for bespoke pair and choose the leather himself).
They fit well. I went for extra wide and after taking insoles out they fit very well. So the extra wide option with no insoles fits pretty wide feet. After putting them on for the first time I walked for several kilometers and didn't feel any discomfort. Of course they need some time for leather to break in to be even more comfortable.
The sole is not very thin, which is a matter of preference (weather You like barefoot feel of feeling the ground or rather sturdiness for tough terrain and longevity). As a matter of fact, these could perfectly be used as barefoot hiking boot. They are waterproof, gusseted tongue etc. Leather is sturdy but not too stiff.
I had some issue with one of shoes with my first pair, but staff was very helpful and kind and resolved my problem very fast. Thumbs up for the team.
Soles can be replaced so with proper care I think these can go a long way.
For those looking for high quality, good looking, sturdy and (hopefully) long lasting barefoot boots, high price can be justified.
Maybe the only issue is, if You are ordering from EU, be ready to pay the customs.
Anyways, I would recommend this shoes and would buy again.

Wonderful shoes and super service. Since I received them I do not want to use other shoes. In addition to the fact that they are very comfortable, they are also super stylish!

solid boots, a bit stiff but just needs breaking in

Buying these boots is a big deal for most people: the price point is really high for the regular consumer, but you buy it out of need for a wide shoe and a want to look good in it. Plus, you're supporting a small business and sustainable fashion. The shoe arrived and it was indeed extremely good looking. Tough beautiful tanned leather, perfect to be worn in for years and years to come. However, I did one mistake I didn't foresee: I trusted the foot measuring guide suggested by Gaucho Ninja. The moment I put my foot in I knew they were way too small. Waiting to get a size exchange now, and hopefully these next ones will be boots I keep forever.

$250 great not $400 great. My humble opinion

$250 great not $400 great. My humble opinion.

Love these shoes!

These might be the first shoes I’ve ever owned that actually fit my wide feet. I got them for work and I have been wearing them everywhere.

UPS delivered my shipment to a wrong adress. Somewhere random. Entirely UPSes fault. But Karen in Gaucho Ninja customer service was very much not a Karen and was super helpful and re-shipped a new pair without a problem.

Very happy.

I have a really hard time finding shoes that fit and are comfortable. Within a few hours of wearing them walking they had broken in and become the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

I love the new Sacred Geometry line — I bought my first pair of barefoot Chelsea boots from Gaucho Ninja a couple of years ago and wear them all the time during the cooler months. I’m so happy to add these to my collection! The leather is gorgeous — they fit so well and feel really special. I hope you will consider making these and your other styles for women in the Chestnut Brown.

To me the only thing these boots need (other than a few more colour options) is a better name, they don't look like what I expect a "Chukka" boot to look like. To me a chukka boot has 2 or 3 sets of eyelets, is a pretty basic cut, often found as an entry level offering. These boots are not that.

These boots are a deep chocolate brown in a good quality leather, precisely cut in an expert way, the toe box is large and dominates what can be seen of the boot with its barefoot anatomical sweep of the toes which allows the toes to spread and wiggle but still feel protected. However, for me the really clever part is the way the boot is cut funnel like over the instep, wrapping securely around the ankle. (I injured my ankle 20 years ago and had it screwed back together, today I suffer from arthritis and limited movement in the ankle which has put additional pressure on my forefoot (metatarsalgia). These boots offer secure support despite my misshapen ankle. I cant really talk about the foot bed, I used the provided insole as a guide and cut 5mm thick veg tan insoles with 5mm additional arch support for the nerve that controls the big toe (which going by my uninjured foot feels really good, injury or not).

I needed some new footwear for work, where I spend most of my time on my feet, so I took a bit of a gamble (having never used this company before) on these boots because I liked the simplicity of the design, the interesting shape, and the promise of comfort. I often struggle with new boots but the "barefoot" style is remarkably comfortable, even on the first day I wore them. I've not had a single pinch or rub. The quality is, as you would hope for from handmade footwear, very good also. It certainly gives me the confidence that they'll last a fair old while.
I'll definitely consider Gaucho Ninja for future footwear needs!

Very comfortable and wode toe box

Waited a long time for the sale. Did not disappoint.
