UniReviews of uni.shoes

Day 3 into the program and I have already automated customer responses that used to take me an hour daily. That alone is worth!

I was hesitant in buying these shoes mainly because of some remarks about the slip resistance from others. I work in a restaurant with plenty of water/grease collecting in the back kitchen area. I’m a server so plenty of fast walking. There were a few hiccups here and there the first day. Second day however VERY noticeable difference—in a great way. I’ve worn plenty of slip resistance shoes before. Sometimes they take a week to break in the soles. Comfort wise 10/10! I just unloop the top two holes for the laces. More lace length and extremely comfortable for me. Very fluid shoes for my plantar fasciitis I’ve been dealing with. Design 10/10. Favorite look for slip resistance shoes I’ve own. I have the mid tops. The sizes run very true. I had a pair of Snibbs Spaceforce 2.0. Great shoe but the 9.5 was too tight for me. Should’ve gotten a 10 there. The 9.5 for the mid top Uni is perfect though! Just enough toe space. Don’t see the need to size up if you’ve fit in 9.5s before. The wide toe box is much more comfortable than toe boxes in other shoes also. Definitely would recommend this shoe to anyone on the fence.

First off, this is an honest review. I don’t work for any shoe company, I’m a CNA. Secondly, I’ve been spoiled wearing Hoka Bondi’s for years on concrete floors. I’m not here to tout Hokas, I’ve just gotta say this about the UNIs since they cost me $163 shipped: IMO, these UNI shoes do nothing special in terms of feel on the foot, or cushion walking on hard floors. They are just kinda ‘there’. Like said in last review, I wore them 4 hours, they ‘fit’ my feet, but I wanted out of them and back into my 1 1/2 year old Bondis. I put Superfeet insoles into UNIs, helped a little, added Spenco insoles underneath the Superfeet. No go. Won’t be wearing Unis for CNA work. Likely end up wearing them for mowing the lawn, etc.

I ordered the shoes on a Thursday because I needed them ASAP. They were delayed by over a week and I only found out by emailing customer service. When the shoes arrived they were almost too small, and they didn't feel like they were supporting my foot at all, which is one of the main features they market this shoe with. They say their shoes are for people who have to stand all day, but there was so much pressure on my heel that I ended up having to leave work early because I couldn't stand up in these shoes without being in pain. I gave these shoes a second chance today with some new insoles that I know work for me, and they did feel a bit nicer to wear, but after a while it felt like my foot was being cooked in an oven despite their website describing these shoes as breathable. I went to write a review on their site, but the option to write a review is conveniently not present, despite their being many alleged user reviews. Their return policy is draconian, and you can only buy their shoes from their own site where they control the reviews. Buyer beware.

I ordered a pair of shoes but never got the shoes. This is a scam company; do not fall for this web buying junk from China.

Shoes fit perfectly; go by their recommendations of going up if you are a half size!

Worst company ever. In November 2024 we ordered UNI shoes for a Christmas gift for our daughter-in-law. They did not arrive until 24th and were not the correct size so we had to return with $20.00 shipping cost asking for a n exchange of style & size and to ship them to our daughter-in-law who lives 2 hours away from us. When the correct size was received they again were not true to size and impossible to wear. We decided not spend another $20 shipping to to try a third time so we decided to request a return for a refund. The request was refused and now we are stuck with a pretty pair of shoes that we have no idea whose feet they would fit. Buyer beware!!!

Shoe is wide but flat on top so a slight slope of the big toenail makes them uncomfortable and painful. There isn't enough cushion or support in the sole. I'm a true size 6 and found the shoe to be too snug. I didn't walk much with them due to the strict return policy, which I find as ridiculous. Worse yet, they make you pay for the return or for a membership to be eligible for free returns. 2 stars are for the material that looks resistant to sharps and fluids. Lastly, they promote these shoes for their stylishness and the material used, but not so much for the comfort. Probably because there's nothing out of the ordinary in this respect.
