I was looking for a dressy barefoot shoe that wasn’t $400. I like this one, the Doris. Leather is very smooth. Interior is also very smooth, if you really want to wear it barefoot. The upper fits well. Good toe box room. The sole is initially very stiff, but loosens with wear and becomes comfortable. There isn’t much barefoot feel through the rugged sole, but that’s not what I need in a dressy shoe. I wanted a thin sole that is zero drop. Perfect. I am pleased with this shoe so far.
