I have tried another barefoot company and felt that they were very hard on my feet, knees, and legs, over time. I walk on sidewalks a lot and i started to develop plantar facialitis. I decided to try Muuv shoes and have appreciated the better support on the soles of the shoes. I have more of a cushion now and my legs don't hurt as much. I will give it more time to do a full review, but so far, I like them.
