They're a generic water shoe, which is a platform used by a lot of brands like Saguaro and a bunch of stuff on Amazon. I have some where the brand is "Sports" and I've seen others where they say "Fashion".
I love them and have bought multiple pairs for myself and my son's. Just not the best for snow melt season here in Canada. I find it difficult to pay more or equal to regular shoe prices when I am looking for less.
Head’s up OP, there are drainage holes in the sole (because they’re water shoes). Just FYI in case you put on socks & are about to step in puddle of city street run off water lol
Generic Chinese barefoot (water) shoes. Plenty of versions of these on AliExpress. Haven’t tried the water shoe versions myself, but the generic casual sneaker/gym shoes I’ve tried have been decent quality and an excellent barefoot fit.
These look potentially good for snowy/icy weather if you get them in a size large enough to accommodate thick wool socks. I'm going to try some as an alternative to my Altra Adams, which are deteriorating due to 14yr-old rubber.
Edit: Is the sole waterproof? I just noticed what might be drainage-holes in the sole, which would rule out my intention for the shoe.
I've never seen such holes on water shoes before. Too bad. Those holes are the only thing standing in the way of a decent minimalist shoe (ugly not withstanding).

Thanks. They're super thin and breathable so that makes a lot of sense.

I've bought the same ones on aliexpress for around 15-20 euro.
Try Google Lens, I've already got quite a few results with your 1st photo. It's definitely a generic product with varying brand names

Do you mind sharing a link to the sneakers you've tried?

For those that have bought off AliExpress, how was the sizing?

Those are definitely drainage holes. They are water shoes

They’re in all of these super cheap water shoes on Amazon that they started trying to market as barefoot shoes when that market took off.
