[@thatfitfriend]

Ayyy let’s go!

[@marcoslara6553]

Been wearing the Bare XF for a month now and they rock! Perfect transitional shoe for those looking to get into minimalist/barefoot. Loving the boomerang footbed - added cushion and comfort for box jumps and plyo. My foot type is flat, narrower heel, and wider toe box which = Bare XF. My workouts consist of WODs, CrossFit, Lifting, and overall functional fitness and they work for all. I do not recommend putting a lot of running miles on them but for sprints and short distances, they do the job. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

[@roamsy]

Super informative and thorough, subscribed! One thing reviewers never say is how the outsole performs in wet weather and slippery surfaces. I know some shoes if im walking over a metal portion of ground it will slip when wet and could cause injury. Whereas other shoes perform much better on slicker surfaces.

I have the Tolos and Icarus. Both are fantastic. On your point about the Tolos not being the best for high instep people I would mostly agree but compared to the 1.0s they are worlds better. I basically could never do legs in the 1.0 because the upper was too tight and caused cramping. I have yet to cramp up in the 2.0s but I haven't really pushed those on a leg day.

I need some advice: I'm looking for a waterproof barefoot trail shoe to use for golf. The vivo all weathers are only water resistant at best. The only other one that exists that I know of is the xero mesa trail WP. Am I missing something or is there a HUGE gap in the market here? Currently golfing in the true 1.2's, but the stack height is a little more than I'd like and the upper is super rigid.

[@thatfitfriend]

Not a lot of waterproof options out there - you're def not missing anything. Question, have you thought about waterproofing them yourself? Could try applying something on the Vivos to see if that helps a bit? Could also try a Trail Knit FG then waterproof em yourself. Will get more aggressive slugs then to prevent slip!

[@aarondrossart6026]

@@thatfitfriend I've thought about waterproofing them myself (or applying extra waterproofing to the vivo all weathers). A lot of the diy methods are either filled with PFAS, or don't really work that well. Maybe I could just get over it and wear my existing golf shoes that do a pretty decent job, I would just really love to wear a pair of ACTUALLY waterproof vivo's on the course.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@aarondrossart6026 Totally fair on that. I have the Hyra ESCs and they're not waterproof, but they do drain and dry pretty quick FWIW. Waterproof golfing barefoot shoe is def a niche and untapped market, lol!

For lateral stability: aside from the Motus Strength (which is too expensive), which do you think would be the best choice? I'm looking for a pair for court sports and weight training.

Xero Shoes 360, Tolos Arch 2, and Inov8 Bare XF can be decent!

Hey dude! Love your videos! Awesome in-depth reviews! I had a quick question. I am looking for shoes for flat feet, not too broad, but definitely need a versatile shoe for jumping, lateral movement, general cross fit and general gym workout. Do you have any recommendations?

[@Whitelotuschief30]

@@thatfitfriend I went a half size up. My mid foot is quite wide. These are perfect. Wow, loving these!

[@brandongoebel9270]

I appreciate you catering to us wide foot folks. I have to ask since I have an insanely wide and flat foot (seriously it's shaped like brick,) what is the widest shoe with a wide toe box? I've tried on the Xero Prio Neo and I feel like if they had a "wide" model it would have been perfect, but so far, everything I've tried has my pinky toe or foot hanging off the insole. I tried a random new balance in 4E, but then the toe box wasn't wide enough. It's really frustrating!

[@thatfitfriend]

Check out the Be Lenka Velocity! Solid barefoot shoe for training and daily wear and it has a good blocky width. They're on sale atm, too!

[@roedtoggroent]

Buuuuut, which one is best for dance classes I wonder? Zumba and other types of dance, or even Aerobics. That's what I would like to know. I.e. not too much grip, a shoe you can do turns in without the shoe sticking to the floor when you do a turn so you risk damaging your knee. Also one that doesn't squeak when you slide or turn (my Xero Prios, stick and squeak on the dance class wood floor). Any advice? 🙂

[@thatfitfriend]

Hmm...I'd go Tolos Arch 1.0/2.0. Feel like those would be your best bet!

Check out Belenka fo casual style. And in terms of lifting, nothing beats the Fivefingers KSO Evo. For deadlifts and squats, full toe freedom is key.

Hi Jake! I love your videos. They are very detailed and you talk fast. I'm new to barefoot shoes and forming an addiction. I have 2 pairs of Whittin's, one for gym and one for casual. I have a pair of the Vivo Asani's for work but I won't be able to wear for 12 hours at a time yet. I recently ordered a pair of Flux adapt running shoes. I have a 25.3 centimer long feet. Do you think they run true to size? I have feet that are almost wide according to hoka style etc. I ordered a 10 but may need a 9 or 9.5. I wanted another pair of intermediate barefoot shoes. I'm leaning to the Lems Primal 3. I need a shoe that has decent traction to prevent sliding on concrete or laminate flooring and a little cushion. Do you have several brands that you could reccomend? Ty Also, I think that Mr. Beast resembles you!!

[@thatfitfriend]

Haha, I do talk a bit too fast at times. So much info to get through. Flux runners run a smidge long, imo. 9.5 would probably be the safer bet. I'd also look into the Lems Primal Zen for that ask! Could also explore the Altra Solstice XT 2 model if you want something more training with a bit more midsole!

[@spidykiller800]

I am so excited that you replied. Just so you know I was not trying to be negative about your talking fast I think it's great. I also talk very fast. Since I'm a beginner with barefoot shoes, do you think the Lems Primal Zen will be more comfortable than the Primal 2 or 3? I actually bought a pair of the discontinued Primal 2's last night. I will have the Flux adapt trainer, Lems Primal2, and Asani's that I can trade back and forth with. ( I am an Rn an work 12 hour shifts) I really want to get a pair of Dillon's down the road. The Feel Grounds move style look nice also. Will you have any new Barefoot videos coming out soon? Thanks!!!

[@user-xi9ft6zx7w]

May be a weird question. But do you wear socks with these? Going to buy the Bare XF for my training sessions

[@thatfitfriend]

I rotate to prevent stink! Usually do a 2:1 sock to no sock wear flow, but that can vary depending on temperature, my mood, and if I have socks clean, lol. Diff uppers will trap heat differently and feet can vary in temps, so keep an eye on that.

The Xero Dillon in white was my first barefoot shoe. I got them last summer, put them away for the fall and winter, and just got them back out again in the past month or two. I barely wear them and they're just yellow and dirty and not so nice looking. The laces are also way too long for them, I really should swap them out for shorter ones. Nice shoe, just a bit of a bummer. I like the Splay Freestyle shoes that I got later on, so perhaps next time I buy a white shoe, I might go with white Freestyles in canvas or leather, or maybe check out some other options. Be Lenka's got a few like the Prime or the new Rebound. But since the Xeros should last quite a long time, it might be a while before I'm back in the market. :P

This is why I don't love the barefoot shoe diehards, tbh. They leave little room for discussion on a topic that's multifactorial. Not to mention, the verbiage "ruin" "destroy". etc. etc. builds a bias in folks heads who may not know enough to ask more + better questions.
