"I bought these on a whim this summer for me and my girlfriend for hunting. I'm probably the only one using these for hunting but they are insanely epic stalking socks!! They are almost completely cactus proof and waterproof. They're stupid comfortable and even warm! I have walked/hiked/sneaked miles upon miles in these things this year and I can't recommend them enough! I have walked/ran through cactus, pine needles, rocks, dirt, mud and just about anything else you can imagine! Only once did I have a piece of cactus penetrate the bottom and it was a HUGE cactus. These socks kept it from imbedding into my foot and I only felt a small poke. I was able to quickly reach down and pull out the single cactus quill and continue my stalk. The only down side is that they don't breath well and your feet will sweat in them if its really hot out. I just spray them down with some sent killer each night and wash at the end of season. AMAZING product but keep them secret!!!"

"These are just like being barefoot...without the pain. Fit is fabulous and they are very stretchy like a sock so you can fudge the size. Great grip on all kinds of rock surfaces and your foot does not slide around inside the shoe. Allows your feet to spread, stretch, grip and twist to feel the terrain. You feel everything... it just doesn’t hurt lol. Did an 8 mile rock hike the first day and am thrilled with them. They are super easy to get on and off, just like socks. Seem to fit true to size."

"I bought these initially to use as glove-fit water shoes for the beach to replace a pair of scuba booties I typically use for such. These fit great, shed water very well, don’t interfere with swimming and really do a great job of protecting the bottom of your feet from seashells, bits of glass and the likes. What surprised me is how well the work for kayak, canoe and paddle boarding. In particular, the rubberized soles on these do a great job of gripping on wet, slippery surfaces. Have done ocean launches in my kayak several times with these on and the stability that these provide, when getting into the cockpit and fighting into surf, makes a big difference. Similarly when mounting or standing up on a paddle board, they stick and hold quite well."

"I’ve ordered several different brands of these ”hiking socks” in the last couple weeks and these are the ones that met my expectations. Great sock fit and flexible rubber sole with good grips. The price is pretty good for these, so don’t try to save a buck and get the cheaper ones, those are thin and the soles are hard, slippery, don’t flex well. Get these instead. Trust me."

"I used to think I needed thick soles and arch support to hike long distances, but they always left my feet sore and stiff. The first time I wore TerraNova on a light trail, I literally felt muscles I hadn't used in years firing up again. They’re lightweight, breathable, and give me a true barefoot feel — without worrying about sharp rocks. My feet have never felt stronger."

— Jason R., 36, Colorado

"I was skeptical. I've tried 'barefoot' shoes before, and they all felt like marketing. TerraNova is different. I did a sunrise shoot on a forest trail last weekend, just these on my feet — no backup pair. The ground feel was incredible. I felt connected, balanced, and free. My feet could breathe, flex, and move without any hotspots or pressure points."

— Eli M., 34, Pacific Northwest

"I spent over $150 on a name-brand barefoot shoe that wore out in three months. TerraNova costs way less and performs way better. I wear them to walk my dog, run errands, do Pilates — they’ve replaced at least three pairs of shoes. They’re super easy to slip on, and they dry fast when I get caught in the rain. Solid purchase."

— Amanda G., 42, New York

"Not gonna lie, I wasn’t used to this kind of shoe. The first day felt strange — like my feet were too 'awake.' But now? I get it. My posture’s better, my back feels looser, and I even walk differently. I bring these everywhere: gym, camping, even short runs. It’s the only footwear I’ve actually felt in sync with."

— Marcus L., 29, California

"I wanted the benefits of barefoot movement, but most options either looked ridiculous or didn’t protect my feet. TerraNova is the perfect middle ground — minimal, stylish, and functional. I wear them on my morning hikes, and they fold right into my pack. No more sore arches or stubbed toes. Just movement the way nature intended."

— Nicole T., 40, Oregon

"I didn’t realize how much my regular shoes were limiting me until I slipped into these. With TerraNova, I can actually feel the ground and adjust the way I move — it's like my body realigned itself. I’ve worn them on rocky trails, during mobility workouts, even on quick grocery runs. They’re light, grippy, and somehow make me feel more… alive. It’s weirdly empowering."
