Traditional footwear squeezes your toes and limits natural movement.

2 years of daily wear and counting
I got these shoes 2 years ago and wear them most days. Very satisfied. They have a lot of life left, but I just started thinking I needed to make sure the company was still in business for when I eventually need a replacement. Thank you for making durable shoes!
The best everyday barefoot shoes and its not even close. Ive tried all the big brands and these are the best quality, best fitting, best looking barefoot shoes you can get.
I’ve been struggling with finding comfortable shoes for a long time. Especially dressy casual shoes. I could wear these all day they’re so comfortable! And stylish too
I can’t say enough good things. The fit, look, build, all top notch. I’m curious to know if Icarus plans on expanding their line to include more colors and styles.
I like these shoes a lot. The fact that each purchase includes three different thicknesses of soles and toe spacers makes it unlike any other shoe brand that I am aware of. Also, the fact that they are foot-shaped to accommodate the splay of toes with spacers makes them more comfortable than a regular shoe. Plus, they look great. So its both functional and cool - I recommend this brand to anyone looking for a minimalist shoe. I am definitely telling friends about these going forward for sure!
I was incredibly surprised on how well the shoe fit as well as how it looked. The design of it is super sexy and most importantly, really comfortable. I really appreciated all of the options of the insoles to vary the level of minimalism. Looking forward to wearing these more.
I Only Wear Wide Toe Box/0 Drop - Tried All Main Options - Super Stoked to Find These - Better Qu...
Quality 10/10 The construction is levels up from the Olukai and Xero shoes I wear. The sole is much better quality which you feel right away. The presentation and care and thought that has been put into the package and accessories, I've never seen something like it. To send out with 3 options for insoles is awesome. I feel like I'm always chasing just the right balance of casual wide toe box shoes that can be worn with a dressier outfit, or just out for dancing at live music, and the best I had before these are not as cool as the Icarus Ascent Gen 2. I really like how they have the zero drop somewhat minimal, but have such a good quality sole the also feel like you get support differently then other brands, but just the right amount.
Stoked to have these as a new shoe to add to just two other type shoes I ever wear, as I had only found 2 that are so comfortable I just gave up on all random other shoes used to wear. And I love that the outside of sole isn't white, and the also perfectly fit my high end custom orthotics.
Grateful for the time and effort that was put into designing and manufacturing this shoe.
