Our machine-washable shoes are made with durable materials that can withstand a gentle wash cycle. To preserve their quality and ensure proper cleaning, follow these steps:
Pre-Wash: Remove the laces and insoles.
Placement: Put the shoes in a delicate wash bag (a pillowcase works too).
Washing Cycle: Use cold water with mild detergent on a gentle cycle.
Drying: Shake off excess water and air dry—avoid using a dryer.
Tip: The shoes will regain their original shape after one or two wears.
Non-Machine-Washable Shoes
For shoes that are not machine washable, gentle hand-cleaning is recommended to protect the materials and ensure longevity. Follow these steps:
Surface Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the surface.
Hand Washing: Mix a little warm water with mild detergent, and gently scrub the shoes with a soft brush.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess cleaning solution.
Drying: Remove the insoles and air dry the shoes at room temperature—avoid direct sunlight and radiators.
Note: Some materials, such as canvas or faux leather, may lose their shape or get damaged if machine washed.

Review of Saguaro shoes in the ( very remote) real world
As someone who has spent, and continues to spend , many years in remote wilderness areas, I am VERY particular and selective about the gear I choose to take on extended outings- replacement is not an option, nearest outlet, hundreds if not thousands kms away- so selecting every piece of gear is a carefully considered phase of pre expedition preparation.
Shoes are of course, the foundations…
For my current little outing- 73 days and counting , Choosing Saguaro shoes was a no brainer- after floods and rains the desert was going to present some unusual challenged, sand, rocky terrain, sharp vegetation , but also mud, water crossing, and icy mornings of sleek ground - I needed something that could handle these very varied conditions, I knew I’ll get soaking wet feet but regular waterproof shoes was not ideal in deep crossings well above ankle high - what was ideal were non slip quick drying ! Crossing fast flowing creeks without seeing what’s at the bottom, was no place for bare feet experiments… but feeling the bottom was essential- so the choice was obvious - saguaro has always delivered for me, comfort, traction, reliability, versatility , and fast excellent customer service from a company that is clearly proud of the products they make - but equally, and importantly- about their customers satisfaction and confidence in the product and the brand. ( side note: on the one occasion where I had a minor concern about wear in a pair of saguaro, I contacted the company to get advice - their response - in less then 12 hours! Was to send me a brand new pair - free- no complicated process, doubts, questions… impressive, and quite uncommon these days- it sure builds confidence in the brand)
So far, my selection of and trust and conviction in the shoes has proven right , and as the terrain changes from desert to ocean , rugged coastal cliffs and slippery trails to remote bays and sandy beaches, they are still the only shoes I have worn all this time … and hopefully, they, and me, will just keep going .
And finally, for those ( like me) who like to feel connected to the place they are at, and grounded.. well, I’m not gonna tell you to choose saguaro bare feet shoes. But I am.
Be safe out there .

Have bought HOKAS and NIKES and still couldn't run without being in immense foot pain. But I could run barefoot. These allow me to feel like I'm not wearing shoes but still run on the road
Store owner replied:
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing this. It’s incredibly meaningful to hear that our shoes have helped you get back to running without pain, especially after trying so many other options. The fact that you can “feel like you’re not wearing shoes” is the ultimate compliment for a barefoot shoe—it’s exactly what we strive for. 😊
You’ve also made a very important point about transition. Even for someone who can run barefoot, shifting to barefoot shoes for longer distances on hard surfaces is a change for your feet and lower legs. We always recommend building up your distance and duration gradually to let your muscles and tendons adapt and strengthen safely. It’s a great way to ensure the experience stays positive and comfortable long-term.
We’re so glad you’re enjoying the run, and we’re here if you ever have questions about the transition or anything else. Thanks again for the awesome feedback!
Awesome fit.
Comfort is insanely good.
Unfortunately I’m getting heel blisters when I run in these shoes.
All in all these are great everyday shoes and super comfortable.
Thank you Saguaro.
Kindly,
Mike
I admit I love wearing Saguaro shoes. I have worn an identical pair for at least 18 months and bought a second pair to keep exclusively for wearing in the gym. They are brilliant for every day use and in the gym - especially strength training & circuits. They have a uniform tread pattern across one of Saguaro’s thinner soles making them very flexible and grippy.
I normally wear my Saguaros loosely laced but for strength work I lace them more tightly. This protects my feet while still maintaining that close contact with the floor.
Barefoot shoes may not suit everyone but at this quality & price it’s worth trying them to find out. Start out for a few minutes and build up steadily to a whole session. They are so comfortable you may be tempted to keep them on longer but give your feet and legs a chance to get used to them. I think it will be worth it in the end.
I’m slightly disappointed by these shoes for the following reason. When I bought them I was super excited and thought they were great. But now after a few weeks of using toe spacers, my toes spread more at rest and I realised my pinky is actually squished by the toe box! Which is bad since I bought these shoes with a wider toe box partly to correct my toe alignement and my twisted pinkies!
So I’m quite disappointed that the wide toe box is actually too narrow (and my toes or feet are not particularly wide, in my opinion). Aside from this however, the shoes are very comfy, fit great and are of high quality (especially given the price!). I’m happy that Saguaro were my first minimalistic shoes in my transition. I’m always a bit afraid to order shoes online but it was so easy and my usual size turned out to fit perfectly in terms of “vertical” space, with a little more room at the end than my previous non-minimalistic shoes (my toes loved this extra space, too bad the horizontal spacing was not as generous).
In any case, be aware that the Correct Toes toe spreaders don’t fit inside (at least in my size 11), my pinkies started hurting after using them for a bit!

Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and observations so meticulously and sincerely. It's truly invaluable.
The situation you pointed out is a very important and specific feedback. We completely understand your disappointment, especially since your initial intention in purchasing wide-toe shoes was to support and improve toe alignment.
Our design for wide toes was intended to provide most people's toes with more horizontal space than traditional shoes. However, your experience clearly tells us that for those who have already begun active foot training and are using toe separators, the existing space may still not be sufficient to perfectly accommodate this active, expanded foot posture. We have noted your feedback, especially the specific details about "the toe separator not fitting" and "the little toe still feeling squeezed after expansion," and will share it with our product team. This provides a crucial perspective for us to consider designing even more extreme width options when developing specific styles in the future.
While we couldn't fully meet your changed needs in terms of width, we are still pleased to know that you appreciated the shoe's comfort, fit, and quality. This is gratifying and motivates us to continue optimizing the details while maintaining these strengths. Thank you again for your trust, your experience, and your invaluable sharing. Your experience not only helps us improve but may also help others with similar situations. If you have any questions about finding shoes with more room, or any further feedback, please feel free to contact us.
Wishing you a successful journey to foot health.
My first barefoot shoe, very comfortable and true to size (UK 38) I have worn them on a walk and they have good grip and look nice. My only problem is they are a neoprene so they are really hot and not very breathable. I will have to buy another pair for summer hiking
Very comfortable. Had to size up 1/2 size. Still pretty snug by the toes then other brands I’ve purchased but I am getting used to it and it feels fairly normal after a few weeks of wear. Quality seems good and they were what I expected.
Great shoes. Love the velcro, i feel "locked in". True to size, arrived on time, perfect for spring-fall outside activties; reference, GSO, NC.
Love the color, GO Tar Heels!
I see myself catching a big trout in these.
I have the sweetest man in my life. He got these shoes for me.
Please send size 13 to same location!
Happy valentinez to all! Love is everything.
The barefoot shoes are great. They are so comfortable that I am wearing them to more places as well as my daily walk. My walks include the beach where they excel.
Bought these for gym classes - not comfortable for spin but great for all of the others! So comfy, great movement and so easy to put on. Would definitely recommend 😁
Love the shoes, good fit and feel, great for walking and running, and quality is good. Service has been exceptional, managing a trade in for a smaller size making it so easy.
The fit is great. Very comfortable upper and the toe box is very wide. I have had troubles finding this fit properly in Saguaros for a while now, as this is my 4th pair, but are the best fitting since the first.
Recommend these for sure. They have a slightly tighter archway, and the feeling of springiness that comes with that is nice. I will be cross training, calisthenics, rowing, and running in these.
Outstanding shoes. I was advised to get some to help my balance after I was hit by a car walking across a road. 3 fractures but now I’m regularly walking and getting stronger, Thankyou
Adjust your size guide to make it compatible with the shoe design. All my shoes are EU 44 and have been for many years. When I used your size guide instructions it came out at EU 44 - good.
I ordered the shoes, they were delivered and when I tried them on they fitted loosely. Not a problem at the time, so I disposed of the packaging and then I wore them out and the length became a problem when I walked up stairs and tripped.
Your returns policy is so stringent that I feel I would be wasting my money by shipping them back to you for exchange because I have worn them once, the packaging has been disposed of, the quality is fine but your size guide is defective.
Lesson learnt - never by clothing on the internet as sizing could be an issue and it was in my case.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your detailed feedback; we value your opinion highly. You selected EU 44 according to our size guide, but the shoes were too long and caused you to trip. This is indeed an inaccurate issue with our size guide, causing you inconvenience and safety hazards, for which we sincerely apologize.
We understand that since the shoes have been worn once and the packaging has been discarded, they cannot be returned or exchanged according to standard policy. However, considering your special circumstances, we are willing to offer you a lenient after-sales service. We will arrange for a customer service specialist to contact you to discuss a specific solution, hoping to make up for this unpleasant experience.
Thank you again for your honesty; it helps us continuously improve the accuracy of our size guide. 🙏
Love my shoes. I have a few pairs now. Very comfortable and have helped relieve my plantar faciatas
Absolutely stunning shoes to run in. consistently doing 20+ km runs with them and love the feel and the durability of them. I have but 1620km on these and just decided to retire them. but wow how they have held up with tons of road and path running.
After I fell in love with my different Saguaro shoes I bought these for my sporty and very exigent husband and he validated! He said that they feel great, super comfy, flexible and amazing grounding!
J'aime mes espadrilles, avec mes derniers vigor j'ai courue 1500km.
Le speed sont co confortable et légère, aurait juste aimer avoir les semelles intérieur que vous faisiez y a quatrant, la qualité était meilleur. Je recommande

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the shoes you received were damaged; this should not have happened.
