Gaucho Ninja Reviews 

I ordered the Chelsea barefoot safety boots for work and they arrived today. I'm extremely impressed with the high quality of these boots, the Stitching alone gives me the impression they will last a long time! All the materials used are robust and flexible including the sole. The wide toe box allows full unrestricted movement and the pull on fit is nice and snug around your ankle.
Absolutely thrilled with my purchase and the customer service was very good, I was kept informed about my order progress along the way.
Thank you

Great communication.Great work boots
I'm very happy with my experience 😊

I started my barefoot journey 5 years ago when working in an office setting. I'm now back in field service and needed safety toes, this boot has lived up to it reputation.

My partner had pre-ordered the Goodyear Welted Barefoot Safety Carpenter boot 2.0 for my birthday as I'd really liked the look of this boot for work. It appeared well designed and just what I'd been looking for. Having had a couple of zero drop shoes before but nothing substantial enough for my work as a gardener.
When the boots finally arrived I was initially quite happy with the look and design. But on closer inspection seeing how the loop puller attaches inside of the heel and noticing the lack of any paddling, cushioning or support I was a little uncertain... I decided to try them out on a short walk to see how they felt. Wearing a normal day to day sock I ventured out. Within 10 minutes I was experiencing rubbing on my heel right around the area of the loop puller. It attaches inside the heel is square cut leather right on the back of your heel! Not a great design at all in my opinion. Having worn shoes and boots all my life, working in manual labour and a keen hiker. I have never seen this type of construction and it seems obvious why.
Returning home with a blister on my heel I noticed one of the rivets had fallen out on my short walk, not a great start for a boot costing over £200!

Next came the very disappointing and frustrating silence from the customer service department. Trying all channels of contact it took nearly two weeks to hear back from Gaucho Ninja. And then communication was a struggle being given various reasons/excuses- only having a micro team, and being at a trade exhibition being two justifications.

Then having sent back the shoes with the return label provided. They hadn't paid enough for there own return postage! It took around a week or so to resolve then a few more days or so of deliberating before they agreed to give me a refund. At this point Karen from customer services was very apologetic but it was too little too late by this point. I finally was relieved of this burdensome issue and given back my money, few! It was over.

Great shoes & very helpful customer service.

Firstly, WOW!
I have worn barefoot shoes for around a year now and after starting a new job where safety shoes was necessary, I did a lot of research and found Gaucho Ninja.
I have owned the safety trainers for around 6 months now and I purposefully waited to do my review to ensure it was a fully tested and honest review.
I can honestly say, after wearing these 5 days a week for 6 months, these shoes are just as comfortable as the day I put them on for the first time.
They have a very spacious toe box and after slipping them on, banging them on all sorts and wearing them in rain and shine, they are incredibly durable and so comfortable.
On a side note, the customer service i received when purchasing the shoes was second to none! I remember speaking via email to a lady named Karen and she was so professional, so kind and a credit to the team.
I simply cannot recommend these shoes and this company enough. I will not buy safety boots from anywhere else now and hopefully their range of non safety shoes increases and I would love to try a pair of those!
Lastly, I want to just say thank you. Mainly for your incredibly comfortable and stylish shoes, but also to your team and their sincerity and manner in which they deal with customers.
First class company with exceptionally high standards.

I have recently purchased my second pair of Gaucho Ninja boots. I have XW forefeet and need to wear safety boots for +12hr shifts.

These are perfect for me as the anti puncture sole provides enough support to stop discomfort when going up and down ladders, whilst being super flexible and comfortable for all day wearing.

I love both pairs of boots I have purchased from Gaucho Ninja, but the customer service in particular has been impeccable.

I came across Gaucho Ninja by accident when looking for barefoot shoes by another manufacturer, I am delighted that I did.
I recieved my black Barefoot Boots Pals exceptionally fast and they are fantastic. On the foot they feel like an expensive pair of leather gloves. The toe 'box' is perfect, the soft but supportive leather is of a quality that I thought didn't existed these days.
If you want a pair of shoes, unlike any other, I urge you to buy. I thoroughly recommend Gaucho Ninja. For me they are beyond exceptional.
An added bonus is the superb customer service,and value for money.

Great comfortable barefoot shoes! True to size.

My job changed the requirements for shoes suddenly and the team at Gaucho have an exceptional option available for people seeking a barefoot shoe with the safety features of a work boot, in my opinion they knocked it out of the park. I reached out to inquire about when a size would be back in stock after looking around online for anything that would meet the safety requirements but still allow me to continue wearing a barefoot style shoe, Karen the online representative got back to me quickly and was professional in her response, explaining the time window when the size would be back in stock and sure enough a few weeks later they were. The Gaucho sneaky ninjas arrived exactly when stated via DHL and I am very impressed by the craftsmanship, a sleek low profile shoe in matte black with a stellar safety rating, I was worried that due to the style of shoe with a safety toe cap that they would be uncomfortable for a while at the minimum but to my surprise they fit my feet very well and were only mildly uncomfortable for the first day and after that they felt great and look so slick in my opinion. If your you're looking a safety shoe that doesn't compromise your barefoot lifestyle I would highly recommend giving these a try, and thanks to the Gaucho Team for providing a quality safety shoe that allows me to continue my job and maintain my lifestyle.

An exceptionally great experience to interact with this amazing company. Kind, considerate, warm-hearted, real human beings that restore your faith in humanity and make amazingly good boots. I have nothing but praise and admiration.

I recently bought some Gaucho Ninja steel toe cap carpenter boots. I have tried several barefoot shoes, finding none comfortable and the sole too thin for real world pavements, concrete floors. I also dont like trainer type shoes due to the synthetic material always making my feet feel really hot and uncomfortable.
The Gaucho Ninja boots are great, oozing quality with fine leather and a Goodyear welted sole that is just right for the barefoot experience and still cushioned enough for solid hard floors and they look great with a utility come fashion look that suits a work or play situation. Being leather they are really comfy and will look better with age, I'm sure they will last many years.
Thanks Gaucho, super happy with these boots.

I cannot believe how amazing the steel toe boots are! I have very short and very wide feet and work shoes have been a nightmare. I was told that I was going to need my feet scanned and wear orthotics. At that point I was coming home from work crying in pain. I decided that there needed to be another solution and found barefoot shoes. I ordered Birkenstock work boots from Spain because they cannot be found in the US. It completely resolved the pain in my feet but I felt like the sole was too thin for cement floors. I work around pallets and power jacks and I didn’t feel like my feet were protected enough. I was amazed at the quality just unboxing my new Ninja shoes. The leather is rich and strong but at the same time it’s extremely comfortable. Now I have worn my boots to work for several days with complete comfort. I feel like the sole is a much better fit for concrete floor and my joints are happy. Many of us get hurt by aluminum racks as we pull them behind us and our heels hit the heavy rack. I have done it many times and it happened again while I was wearing my new boots. The way they are constructed protected my foot 100% and it was the first time I had no pain and no bruising. I’m so grateful for all the effort that has gone into the making of the boots! They make my job possible, literally!

Unique and beautiful shoes and attentive customer support. You can be confident doing business with this company.

Excellent craftsmanship…

Supplied a fantastic bespoke product from really high quality materials at a great price. Li was extra helpful and knowledgeable and would highly recommend.

Great boots, very good quality and craftsmanship. They fit well and have enough room in extra wide option. Sturdy but not too stiff. The team is also very kind and helpful and resolved the issue I had with my first pair very fast.
I would definitely recommend and would buy again.

Tengo varios pares de zapatos de Gaucho Ninja y son espectaculares.
Cómodos, hermosos y con un gran acabado.
Los tabis que uso para entrenar se ajustan como un guante.
Las red barefoot desert son muy ligeras y las llevo a cualquier parte.
Las Chukka son unas botas únicas, para muchos años.
Me gusta esta tienda y a veces regalo sus zapatos entre mis amig@s.
¡Enhorabuena!
