New sub here. i just started my channel a month ago. my neighbors dog chewed up my bedrock sandal, so now i'm on the hunt for some new sandals. i want leather because it's natural, but the ultra grip sounds more reliable? what sandals do you currently recommend? I wanted Primal in my channel name too, lol! heres my channel: www.youtube.com/@primalpassion

Huarache (Wah- rah- cheh)

This is a very helpful video. I have the xero genesis. They're so thin I only wear them for light road running. Got the bedrock cairn and they're great for taking the kids to the park and not getting wood chips in them, but they're super thick! No running in those. Then I got the xero z-trail as the goldilocks sandals but not a fan. The search goes on...

Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you, Paul! Much appreciated, subscribed, liked.

I wore earthrunners for about 5 years and just switched to shamma with the vibram bottom. Love them for hiking and around town

Very informative video! thanks for the great video.

I run in my Xero kit Huaraches in 4mm. The toe flips under if you drag your feet. Pick your knees up and you won't have a problem. I just put 100k on mine over the past month, and they will help your stride if you let them.

I love my shamma sandals. Been running in the for a year now, and they're amazing

there's much bigger problem with 5 fingers- they get ruined quite quickly...the unglue and seprate sole from the rest...big mess...

This might sound ridiculous, but I'm looking for a barefoot sandal recommendation that i can wear socks with for sun protection. Will socks cause me to slide around too much or is there a type of sock material I should look for?

I am completely knew to this idea and there are SOOO many options out there nowadays I don't know where to start. I want something that is beginner friendly, but also nice to my wallet, and durable. This was some great information to have. Thank you so much!

Don't waste your money on shamma sandals. They're overly priced for "elite" status, yet provide low quality. These cost around $100 & they suck. I've had a knee injury all summer & literally haven't even been able to do much walking. I sit on a couch most days wearing these sandals. Already within less than 2 months the seams & strings all along the straps are coming off. Little to no usage, cost ridiculous, & smell like paint thinner upon arrival. Your feet will smell like a STRONG chemical for a month before it finally fades off the top too. If the quality was what you paid for, they'd be nice, but these aren't anything worth what they're asking. True review from someone who actually spent their hard earned cash to get these. I didn't get them donated like 90% of other reviewers & won't claim they're the best just because I spent an arm/leg for them. Save your money & tryout someone else.

What will be the best option for a barefoot beginners? Shamma or Luna. I will get it shipped to India and can't really try any sandals. They don't come cheap as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Wow. look at all those choices. I've got a pair of Xero Amuri Cloud sandals. Too floppy up front under the toes. Even walking around everyday.

best sandal review Video this realy helps

Thank you for making and sharing this! It's summer and I need some great sandals.

Thanks for the review Paul. I've been waiting for the Amuri Clouds to get back in stock, but tried on the Luna Venture the other day and really liked them. Based on your review and a few others I've watched I'm going to go ahead and order the Leadville Pacer. I appreciate the excellent overview of the strengths and weaknesses!

Great info, thanks for taking the time to review these!
