This man right here literally got me into barefoot shoes three years ago. I truly can’t thank you enough, it really has changed my life for the better!

[@Sia388]

Hi Nathan. Could you please describe what have changed for the better? thanks.

[@Drchweber]

I don’t know about Nathan, but I have made similar statements in the past. For me, before I got into barefoot shoes, I had back pain starting up at the age of 30, knee and hip pain and discomfort, and I was begin to notice that I was really unsteady going down stairs, feeling like I was about roll an ankle, clinging to the handrail. Been wearing barefoot shoes for 2-ish years and that’s all gone. I’ve even been able to rehabilitate an old injury to my big toe just by feeling out what needed to be stretched. The most significant improvement is in my balance. I no longer feel like an 80 year old man going up and down stairs.

[@kujda22]

Until recently, I was only wearing Vivos. But then I got my first Belenka pair and very quickly got another one (the trail shoes). They're made from amazing leather, have really good build quality and are hand made! The dudette who started the company is a former paralympian who couldn't find good shoes so she started making her own, what a badass.

[@annankldun4040]

Which ones are you referring to? Just checked their website and I didnt see any running or trail shoes

[@cw4623]

Belenka are BALLLER. THE best barefoot/foot-shaped shoes. They slay Vivo.

[@ALAKAZOOVOLANT]

My wife calls them my Platypus shoes. 11 years and not looking back. When I'm old, I'll be able to to appreciate the stability I've gained wearing barefoot shoes.

[@traviswrigg5158]

This intro might be the single greatest thing that ever happened when discussing minimalist shoes

[@LifeMostSouthern]

At 10:24 the dirty shoes; I’m a mom who knows how to clean those. 1.) expensive but totally worth it option; a high quality steamer like McCullough MC1375. The concentrated brush attachment and maybe an old toothbrush. It will clean it right up. If you have a hard stain then a little dish soap or natural APC. The steamer is zero chemical and super sustainable. 2.) Bleach pen & Mr.Clean Magic Eraser. If you’re scared of the bleach try just the magic eraser and some dish soap.

[@adamkreuz9068]

That intro was just phenomenal! Thank you for this, all I knew was Vivo Lems and Xero so now I have more choices. I can't go back to normal shoes but I want to look a little fashionable

[@blahblah-mh3nw]

Needs to send this to all barefoot shoe companies and have them bid on the commercial licensing.

[@lern-undkursvideos2512]

I wear barefoot for around two years now. Also thanks to you. The „problem“ is that you can not go back to normal shoes. Now I got barefoot shoes for every occaison. Vivo is the brand I wear mostly. Feelgrounds really feel a bit cheap. I am very happy to see Be Lenka in the video. I really like to wear those too.

[@jcb0920]

You got me into the Lem's Waterproof Boulder Boot and I just have to say they're amazing. I have a wide foot with a high arch and they look awesome and they're far more comfortable than I expected them to be. My go-to shoe this winter fo sho.

[@hydradagger]

Personally, I'm on the Groundies hype train.

[@forceninewinds]

I bought a pair of Wildlings (Flying Fox) after you previously recommended the brand, they are fabulous! Mine are worn pretty much every day and still look like new. I get alot of people asking about them and where they can get them because they look so good. I have gone on to recommend them to a number of other people. Vivos are also good (I have a couple pairs) but I do find them a little pricey especially compared with Wildlings which are really well priced here in the UK.

[@kpdelaney6460]

Chase, this was the best video I've seen covering barefoot shoes, and I've seen dozens of vids. That intro was such a chill groove, and I was surprised at how much variety in brands and shoe types that you had on display. I love those knit shoes. The Wildling Nebulas look especially nice. I got the Xero HFS shoes a few days ago and they're pretty good. I wish I would've seen this video before getting them though, because I would've gotten a pair of Nebulas for sure. They look perfect for me. Oh well. At least now I have something to look forward to once these Xeros break on me.

[@eft161]

Not sure if you've tried out Groundies but I have like 7 pairs now and they look really good. If you are looking for shoes that don't scream barefoot shoes, they are definitely it.

[@99natemay]

Splay has some NICE looking barefoot shoes 👀

[@EvanARitt]

Did you get a pair? The big toe is at a right angle. A little too blocky for me. Origos look like they have the same problem, haven’t gotten a pair yet though

[@Celeste8808]

Flux I won't recommend bleaching it may turn the yellow. Oxy clean will be better

[@AmandaBelleVideos]

I have an insane collapsed arch and barefoot shoes have improved it so much and all back pain is gone 😭 love this video 🔥

[@Davo198]

That's awesome to hear. Is there anything else that has helped your collapsed arches besides barefoot shoes that you can recommend?

[@AmandaBelleVideos]

@@Davo198 stretching exercises and toe spreaders! It also helped to roll out my foot with a massage ball or lacross ball :)

[@ZENLASOL]

As always, your production is still A1 🔥 absolutely loved that intro bro I copped some vivo geocourts cause of you 💪🏻

[@davidtrani190]

Excellent upbeat information, well done. Great spirit, stay positive and stay away from negative people and places like Hollywood, my friend.

[@samanthagarcia1398]

I've been into barefoot shoes for a while now, but a lot that i've tried haven't done what I need them to do. your way of talking about these shoes is so much more helpful than other videos!!! thank you for aiding my search toward better foot health; better health period

[@BjarniOlsen]

Great video, again 😀👍 Have you ever checked out Groundies? I have 5 different pairs from their collection. Really love them.

[@masta182]

I love my Lems Boulder Boot so fucking much, I just wish the sole wasn'T absolute dogshit. in snow you can only do a slight incline before you just slipp down the trail/street or what ever. It's so dissapointing considering how awesome the shoe is otherwise.

[@njott1021]

The sole is so fucking bad... Make it a third of the thickness and give it some traction, and I would have like 8 pairs......

[@john_neil]

Oh, Mr Reeves. What gift you are to... Earth. That song.

[@carpepedes3520]

every vid should start with an intro like that lol. groovy indeed. totally owned how all this talk about barefoot footwear is so seductive, lol. the toes rubbing the shoes got me, 😂 lol. And whoa what nice feet he has. Nicely done!

Really? You come out with video AFTER I bought all the Christmas gifts? High line of credit, here we come

[@kimberlyjennings618]

Awesome video! Hoping to find a pair that I can fit into my business casual work wardrobe

[@davidtaroyan]

I don't even like barefoot shoes... I only watch cuz you are chill as fudge... keep em coming!

[@njott1021]

Shout out to the wildings!! Nothing I've seen is more stylish and barefoot. 3 pairs going strong

[@kicksandtravels]

That intro song alone deserves all the likes!!!!!

[@Koopatroop5421]

By far, the highest quality intro I think I've ever seen from a youtube video. Dang. 10/10.

[@dsample]

Just started watching this and looking forward to it. From the description my favourite still doesn't feature though... Freet. Hoping to see another brand to try out though.

[@theperipateticaccrescent7685]

That intro was sooo good, could be a video in itself!

[@Mysterios0]

“Wide foot…disorder.” 😂 Dude, I wish I had this channel back when I was trying to transition. I was reading Ken Bob Saxton stuff, and ended up buying a pair of Merrell Bare Access (gen 1). They were available locally, thanks to that silly barefoot running craze that happened back in the day. They were categorized as “barefoot” but had some padding and arch support. But they were zero drop and had a wider toe box than my other kicks at the time. I wore them everywhere, and ran in them in incrementally longer stretches. Eventually I was running in them exclusively, up to about 13.5 miles. I love my Merrell Vapor Gloves for jump rope and running, but also just recovery walks because they’re so flexible. I love my Shamma sandals in warm weather. I have a couple pair of Xero boots for casual cold weather and snow. Love those. The Hannas are great. I lace them loosely and treat them as slip-ons. Rarely wear them with socks. Love the video. I wanna try Wildlings so bad now! Thanks!

[@susie9893]

Sounds like the journey you got funneled into basically forced you to make a progressive transition. All good!

[@LeiaAskin]

I’m dying of laughter from that intro. Seriously, I have tears in my eyes. Or that could be just because I really needed that laugh with all of the bad news going around nowadays. Thanks for the tune and the great advice for barefoot shoes. I’ve made the transition and I’m finding it hard to find shoes that don’t get me constantly questioned.

[@09agentbill]

Barefoot shoes cured my sciatica

[@11spitdms]

Best barefoot shoe reviews are from this guy! By far

[@bennguyen1313]

Any suggestions for a business casual barefoot shoe? Brown-leather looking kind of thing? For example, I used to wear the Xero "alston" model, but they've been discontinued.. although you can still find images online (brown, a strap around the sides, and virtually no sole!). Their newer shoes, like the Glenn Casual Leather models, seem to have rather thick soles by comparison. I found some other shoes that look promising, but they're only available in Europe (ahinsa Ananda Light Brown, Groundies Palermo Barefoot+).. other similar looking shoes are also discontinued (Vivobarefoot RA II 8996426 , WHITIN Extra Wide Minimalist Barefoot Zero Drop Sole shoes). Any thoughts on the Saguaro Noble II or the tadeevo Derby Light Brown Minimilist shoes? Be Lenka Cityscape - Salted Caramel Brown? Realfoot City Jungle Light Brown? Even Temu has $50 'Barefoot Wide Fit Zero Drop Minimalist" shoes with brands I've never heard of.. HOBIBEAR, Fashion, etc.

[@FoodTechLife]

Great roundup. I recently ordered the Flux after watching them in your previous video. They'll be my first barefoot shoe...but I'm hoping to get some more after.

[@someguynj]

Love these intro songs. "If you want to try minimalism" still gets in my head now and then. Let's see if this is the year I make the switch to barefoot shoes.

[@MaegicDude]

Brother Dude, the opening song made my day. You are multitalented. I work installing gutters. there is not one pair of those shoes i could use but i really enjoyed watching. Cheers. And yes insoles are a key.

[@BB-wl8qr]

I switched to barefoot about 2 yrs ago. Now it's all I wear. Any females out there have a good suggestion for a dress shoe (as in to wear with skirts and dresses)? My bearfoot experience as a female with a tiny foot (size 5 womens) and high arches: Vivo knit lux - first pair of barefoots. These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Love them so much. Vivo gobi hi iv -amazingly comfortable but slightly resembles a wrestling shoe. LoL there was a breaking in period on these due to the stiff heel. Xero prio - comfortable, but feels too wide in the midfoot and heel. Whereas Vivo only feels wide in the toebox. Xero basic sandals - keeps glass out of my foot ;)

[@n.sch.1251]

Groundies have a ballerina type shoe, that looks quite allright. Haven't worn them yet though and I think I might have bought them one size too big. It comes at least in navy, cognac and I think one other color, each with a white sole. So they are still pretty casual, but can be dressed up imo

[@wjj669]

Hey Chase, great video. Are barefoot shoes ok for those with very flat feet/collapsed arches?

[@ouishelly]

I love my Feelgrounds hightops. My first pair had a crack in the sole within the first year, so they sent me a replacement free of charge (they have since updated the outsole). I've dealt with them for a sold out item as well, and i've received nothing but stellar customer service. Highly recommend.

[@lern-undkursvideos2512]

I also hat a sole problem with them but I am glad to hear they fixed it.

[@BB-wl8qr]

I have seen so many reviews saying terrible soles. The sole redesign is for an updated shape only, same quality. Glad you had a good experience with their CS

[@ek-nz]

Got my Freet boots on right now. My first barefoot shoes and I was maybe a bit of a sceptic, but I’m getting used to them and enjoying them. Managed a 4 hour hike with no blisters, which I always get from more rigid and less roomy hiking boots.

[@the.Aruarian]

The BeLenka Champs are honestly my fave casual wear shoes. They sorta give off Air Force 1 vibes, which is why I got 'em. From the top they're definitey clown shoes, but any time you view them from an angle (i.e. everyone else), they look fine. There's definitely an art to styling high-tops, but there's also an art to not giving a fuck. Also own the Lems Chillum in blue, but noticed myself not really vibing with them. Like you touched on, the sole is a lot thicker than a lot of the other shoes (great for boots/cold protection, but feels so weird when you're used to 3-4mm soles). And the style is just not for me. Love the Boulder Boots though. For anyone ordering from BeLenka: I can heartily recommend their socks,

[@carolynmcintosh8824]

Am approaching the 1 year mark for barefoot style shoes-will never go back to conventional shoes. I started out with Lems for my work shoe and am wanting to be a little more fashionable for personal wear. Thanks for the info and getting to the point :)

[@NENEJESSER]

DDDUUUUDEE!!! I saw a comment saying the intro was fire,, but DUUDE! I didn't expect it being so good. The intro itself makes me want to like the video.

[@KraftyUk]

LEMS PRIMAL 2 is a really good affordable light shoe thats a good allrounder, its my personal favorite.

[@Latissimus65]

Hey Chase, why the Flux and Origo over the Vivo Geo Courts and Feelground Luxe? Im currently deciding between those 4 and cant make up my mind, haha.

[@wes__ai]

def was not expecting the intro ... music for the soul .... "ask me about bitcoin" ... lololol

[@theautisticacademic5927]

Love how much you love the Boulder boot. Those are INCREDIBLE

[@1enediyne]

Two years at home with the pandemic and my feet always barefoot, I’m struggling to shoe myself now that I’m back in the office full time. Everyday shoes are fine, but winter boots, not so much. There’s nothing with a sole that grips shoe/ice when it’s -20.

[@saralynnhartman972]

Ok....this is exactly what I have been looking for. Yeah, I'm an old lady but I am looking to reverse the bunion that just crept up on my left foot. So basically I am looking for a hiking boot/shoe that is not a high top. Is the Altra good for that?

[@maxwelldraksmann3359]

Nice Job. Could you please tell me the exact model for the Leguanos? The olive green ones...

[@UrsaTheNomad]

I have size 14/15 feet....what companies carry that size?😭 none whatsoever it seems

[@ourclarioncall]

I’m wondering what the “xero “ and “ innov-8 “ shoes in this video are like in comparison to vivobarefoot primus lite or primus trail 🤔

[@SandyToesStudio]

I wish you could get your wife to help you review shoes & bags for women, meanwhile I'll check out the chick version of a few of these. Thanks!

[@user-pj5ju9sm5r]

if you want good looking running barefoot shoe buy nike shoe and cut the thick midsole. mine works great

[@madhatterentmt6146]

if they werent so expensive id make the switch but at 160 or more and only last about 8 months its not cost effective

[@ohokcool]

I’m scared that I won’t be able to fit into my ice skates anymore, that’s why I haven’t gone barefoot

The wildlings are easily my favorite of all of the brands. However, not good in the rain or any wet conditions.

[@kyleskudaneellis2685]

Thank you Chase Reeves for the amazing video. I'm in the UK but good quality barefoot shoes have been difficult to source (shoes that are comfortable, well made and ventilated). I've been enjoying having a few different pairs of Vivo Barefoots. They have been great to train my feet but lately I've been wanting more variety and some shoes that feel more like shoes. I love Vivo Barefoot but it sometimes feels like it's the casual footwear of Bruce Wayne pottering around the Batcave in his downtime (kind of like flashy outwear). I stumbled across your video and was really happy. I've added a lot of these to my wish list and look forward to finding some Lem's and Origos.

[@sarahthatcher123]

I think almost all of these look amazing and ‘normal’. Healthy foot shaped footwear is more normal than what others wear. I have been barefoot for just over 2 years and my foot has changed so much…I now can only wear the Be Lenka brand because my feet have spread and are now so wide and my toes splay nicely now. I love Be Lenka wide ‘foot shaped’ toe box. ( not clown shaped) .

[@susie9893]

Yeah I think our definition of what a 'normal' shoe looks like is totally changing. Zero drop is basically mainstream now - I work in healthcare and virtually everyone i know wears zero drop cos we're on our feet all day
