Sneaky Ninjas 2.0 · Barefoot Safety Trainers (X-Wide)

Working in manufacturing, does the job of a steel toe while feeling like a barefoot shoe. Heel cup had a tough break in and I wish it had a finger loop. The insole is kinda flimsy but then again I’m doing 15000 steps a day. There were times when I wish It had rigid block like midsole of a boot for support but the flexibility of the shoe makes up for it.
Great for people looking to meet safety requirements while also being comfortable. Great for people who only wear barefoot shoes
Have had these shoes for 2 years now holding up incredibly good
Highly recommend these shoes

I’ve worn a lot of safety shoes on job sites, and these are the most comfortable pair I’ve bought. I’m a construction manager, so I’m on my feet for site walks more than heavy labor, and the Sneaky Ninjas 2.0 feel closer to a good barefoot trainer than a work boot. Build quality is solid. I already wear Vivobarefoot, and the sizing lined up perfectly with those.
The downsides are real. They look like clown shoes. Shipping was over $30 and listed as international, even though the package appeared to come from the central U.S. The stock laces are the weak point: cheap-feeling, stretchy, and way too long. I replaced them with Generation Laces and that fixed it.
If the look doesn’t bother you, and especially if you catch them on sale, I’d recommend them. Comfort and fit are excellent.

Great amount of space, feels great on my feet but I did not like that before my first day the right boot started having the seams ripping on 2 spots

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!

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.

Very light and comfy shoes, working whole day you even forgot that you’re wearing a safety shoes. The only thing is that they are a bit stiff around the top and bitting at ankles this is why gave 4 stars

Absolute best safety shoe I have ever worn. I bought the Sneaky Ninjas after 4 recent unsuccessful attempts trying other safety shoes/boots. I only own barefoot shoes, mainly Vivobarefoots and a couple pair of Xeros, and have never been able to find truly comfortable safety shoes. As soon as I slipped these on I could tell I was going to love them.

There is a ton of room in the toe box allowing my toes to spread like they normally do. Other safety shoes/boots have allowed this but my big toe and pinky toe always rubbed the safety toe. I hardly notice the safety toe in these shoes because my toes never rub or touch it. They are incredibly flexible straight out of the box and have gotten more comfortable everyday I wear them. I wear them to work 8-9 hours a day and still have a hard time believing they are safety shoes. I followed the website instructions on sizing and they fit perfect.

I even find myself reaching for these shoes even when I’m not headed to work due to how comfortable they are. Thank you for the perfect all around shoe!!!

These shoes are a complete disappointment. For something advertised as “stealthy” and “ninja-like,” they’re the opposite — loud, flat, and impossible to walk in.
Comfort is just as bad. I could barely wear them for an hour before the pain became unbearable. When I reached out to exchange for a smaller size, I was told the company was “on holiday,” and I received the same excuse when I requested a return/refund.
Overall, these feel more like novelty clown shoes than actual footwear. I’m simply asking for a proper exchange or refund for a product that doesn’t match its description or meet basic expectations.

I’m loving these shoes! After two weeks of ~12 hours of daily wear they’ve held up great! Obviously super comfortable and flexible like I’d expect any barefoot shoe to be. I’m hard on shoes, so I can’t speak to how well they’ll hold up after a year of wear, but they’re doing fine so far.
The “break-in” process only included the tongue on the right shoe and the outside ankle area on both shoes, but that has stretched and flexed and both are fine and normal now.
They are breathable, but I am worried they’ll be sweaty in the summer being plastic. But I still think the pros outweigh the cons being a barefoot shoe.
I will be ordering a second pair when I need them!

I’m used to wearing barefoot shoes in my private life. At work, when I go to the shop floor, I have to wear safety shoes, which are very hard and tight. By the end of the day, I often felt pain in my feet, especially in my toes and the joints around them. These safety trainers are incredible—I absolutely love them. When ordering, I wasn’t sure if they would be worth it, but now I know I should have bought them much sooner. These trainers are like a spa for your feet.

Near perfect. The price is steep but, the quality an the fact that it fulfilled my wishes of a barefoot wide toe box steel toe shoe makes it worth it.

In my experience, The steel toe part was uncomfortable on the front of the foot where the toes attach to your foot. Moving your toes up and down and even curling them would hurt.

However, by putting up with it, the shoes do break in and now I barely notice it. For reference, I wore ankle work socks which are not too thick.

Besides needing to break them in before you can wear them and be happy, these shoes are great. I wore these at work for 9 hours over the course of a few days to break them in. I never got any injuries/ blisters during the break in period but, everyone is different. If you have the money, Highly recommended!

I love that the safety toe is wide enough for my toes. I’ve always had a problem finding safety shoes that don’t hurt my toes. Although the area on top between the toes and laces is tight on my feet.. And the top end of the tongue is stiff & digs into the bottom front of my legs. The outside edges are hard and hitting my ankles while walking. I’m hoping that they will soften up with breaking them in using bandages to protect myself.

I just received my shoes, so my opinion only about looks and not actual comfort. Shoes are made very well, nice stitching, quality materials used and overall very nice built. It took 3 moths to receive them, quite a while ;) luckily i have broken ankle, so i was not the rush to receive them :) i will come back after half of the year or so to update my experience with the shoes. I wonder thou, what is Nobuk exactly? Couldn't find any explanation.

I was so happy to discover these shoes when I was online searching to see if there was another barefoot safety shoe on the market. I had been looking to replace me worn out Birkenstocks. I was chuffed to find these! They are a little expensive for a non leather shoe, but so far they seem to be worth the splurge. They are lighter than my current Birkenstock and have such a comfortable fit straight from the box.
I've worn them a couple of weeks now and I'm loving the flexibility and security they give me in my warehouse job. I 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 cannot tell you how comfortable these safety shoes are, the first few days my feet were getting used to them, but now I don't think I would ever want to change to anything else. I have worn barefoot shoes for nearly 3 years, but always had regular safety shoes and it had been causing me back pain and sore feet as a result of wearing barefoot the whole time out of work. But since buying these, my back and feet are so much happier. Also I have had them now 8 months and they barely look like they have any wear and tear on them. If you are unsure about these due to price or anything, I guarantee they are worth every penny. It will be the best decision you made if you already wear barefoot shoes.

I work in manufacturing and have been wearing natural movement shoes for many years. Overall I like the ninjas but there a bit heavy and would love to see a thinner sole for better flexibility. As far as longevity I can't say because I've only been using them for a month, but they do seem pretty durable. I can't complain about price because luckily my job covers the cost and they were on sale, but seems about normal for natural movement work boot or work shoe

Finally, a pair of safe shoes that aren't super uncomfortable. I normally wear minimal shoes and the work boots for my warehouse were so uncomfortable I was taking them off when in the office and walking around in socks.

The Sneaky Ninjas are so comfortable I sometimes keep them on when I get home and take the dog for a walk.

They're a well-made shoe, they look good with pants and a shirt, and I'm confident I'm protected if I drop a pallet on my foot.

Super comfortable out of the box, build quality is very nice and they look good. I've been waiting for them for quite a while but it was worth it. My toes can finally breath while being protected, i love it!

Outstanding build quality and very comfortable to wear. I'm very satisfied with my choice. 😃 Totally recommend to every barefoot shoe lover.
