Anya's Review

The Lono Flow is a true barefoot shoe that I really like! The stretchy uppers are soft and comfortable, and the outsole is really thin and flexible – everything I look for in a shoe!

Overall the Lono Flow is a rare example of an affordable barefoot shoe that not only competes with more premium brands at twice the price but actually improves on them with some clever features.

The FLOW works well for cross-training, and if you want a budget-friendly option and routinely do athletic, circuit, and mobility-focused sessions, then you’ll like this shoe.

The absolute thing I love is that lono has been listening to barefoot consumers and fixing existing problems, I think that’s hugely commendable!

We were quite impressed with the look, feel, and fit of these shoes. They are best suited for feet from narrow to med-wide, with low to average instep height.

Considering the price relative to other barefoot shoe manufacturers, they’re a fantastic choice! They’ve earned and deserve a spot on my ultimate Best Barefoot Shoes guide.

Are the shoes suitable for people with bunions?
Several of our customers with bunions have found our flyknit upper around the bunion area soft and non-irritating. The wider toe box also provides extra room around the toes.
Do the shoes have arch support?
Studies show that barefoot shoes can reactivate the arch and strengthen flat feet. Our shoes are designed to be highly adaptable for people who are new to barefoot shoes.
Are the shoes machine washable?
You can use gentle machine wash on the shoes and air dry them.
What if I'm not sure about the sizing?
Feel free to contact us through our Live Chat function by clicking the chat icon at the bottom right part of the website's screen. Please provide your longest foot's measurements in millimetres and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
What is the difference between FLOW, FLOW C and FLOW S and do you restock all colors?
FLOW C is the representation of extraordinary colors, while the shoe models are the same with FLOW (grey, black and white). Time to time we release exciting limited edition colors! We can’t say the exact time but various holidays is usually a good bet 😉 But that also means that we occasionally discontinue some colors to make room for new ones - so if you like a certain color combo we suggest you grab it fast before it’s gone 💨
FLOW S has a more grounded outsole at 6mm, a reinforced S-knit pattern for lateral structure and a heel sling for better lockdown. These features are designed to perform better in strength training session 💪🏻
Do you offer team deals?
Yes we offer team deals for 5+ pairs. Message us at hello@lonowear.com to find out more.
What makes the shoes biodegrade in around 3 years in landfill or marine conditions and what studies support this?
We infuse our raw materials with just 1% GONETECH additive to offer microbes the ability to secrete acids and consume this material, turning it into methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), biomass, and water. This material is certified to be effective in environments such as landfills and ocean where microorganisms are present.
Please email us at hello@lonowear.com if you would like to see related test reports.
Will the shoes biodegrade while wearing them or in my closet?
The biodegradation only occurs in environments such as landfills and ocean where microorganisms are present.
The shoe has to be completely buried for the biodegradable process to take place, it won't biodegrade from dirt and soil on the surface.
