Finally, I found the right sandals

Christoph finds his new QLEAR Dark Brown much nicer than presented in the shop photos. But not only that, he is also convinced by the wearing comfort and wears the open barefoot shoe for hikes, moves, and even in the office. Thus, he has found a summer shoe for every occasion.

We are pleased that you like our QLEAR so much and wish you many nice tours with it.

For about 6 years, I have been wearing exclusively barefoot shoes and am completely convinced by this concept. I have mainly worn shoes from another company so far and was impressed by the quality. Unfortunately, a few of these shoes gave up after a short wearing time, so I am looking for alternatives.


I had previously bought shoes from ZAQQ, which convinced me with their wearing comfort and durability.
I had been looking for a practical everyday option for a long time, I had already tried sandals with toe separators before, but unfortunately, I didn't get along with them. Finally, I acquired the QLEAR Dark Brown sandal from ZAQQ, now about this shoe:

First of all, I find its appearance much more appealing than presented on the website. The shoe gives a robust and high-quality impression in terms of workmanship and the materials used.
The lacing with the Velcro in the middle of the foot is a nice gadget that ensures nothing flaps around.
The toe box is sufficiently large, I was lucky again with size 45, my standard choice. The shoe doesn't slip and doesn't pinch the foot. The inner leather is pleasantly soft, I hope it doesn't wear through.

I have already used the shoe for a move to the 4th floor, completed several hikes, and regularly went on longer bike tours.
What stands out positively to me is that the shoe reminds less of a barefoot shoe, as the thin sole seems to be padded from the inside. As a result, the ground contact is not so direct, it is comfortable, but only slightly cushioned.

The QLEAR Dark Brown also seems to be built for endurance. Even after hours of walking, the shoe is comfortable on the foot, doesn't press, and doesn't give way in any direction, as sometimes happens with barefoot shoes.

Additionally, the shoe looks very good and can also be worn in the office, since Covid19, dress codes in the office have become more relaxed. So sitting in the office for a day is no problem.
Conclusion: This QLEAR Dark Brown is just right for me. It is airy, comfortable, durable, and also looks good.
