Ascent Gen 2

Was initially concerned about the size of the Icarus footwear because of the space in front of my big toe. I wore them around the house for the first time today and they are fine. If your second toe is longer than the big toe - you need to measure from the second toe to heel to get the correct length and don’t worry about a little space in front of the big toe. If you have to, wear heavier socks. Your feet will thank you. I am usually a EU40 or Women’s 9.5 - and the Ascent Gen 2, size M8/W9.5, EU 39/40 fit great for my “mountain shape toes”.

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 got toe separators free with my icarus shoes. My wife made fun of me for wearing them until one day I came home and she was wearing them. Now I need another pair for myself.

I recently purchased a pair of these in black for my son. He's very particular about fit and comfort. He feels a lot of shoes are too tight for his foot. He just received these and said they run true to size, are roomy enough in the toe area and are very comfortable. He's looking forward to wearing them. We've been waiting since Christmas for them to be restocked.
My only complaint was that we both signed up for the email waitlist to be notified when the shoe was restocked but neither of us was notified. It was just a random check that we did on the site and saw that they were back in stock.
Based on his assessment, I would recommend them.

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.

Finally got my sneakers! Love how they look and are really comfortable. Great value for money with the extras you get!

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.

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.

My son introduced me to Icarus shoes last year, which he has been wearing for years. I just received my pair a few days ago and was amazed at the construction and fit right out of the box.

Received my new black Accent shoes. Sizing is right on target and they look and feel great.

These shoes saved my feet. Wear them all the time!
