Barefoot Shoe Reviews: Vibram Furoshiki

[@swagjockey6019]

I just ordered the high-top version they have, I love high-top shoes. Hopefully they’re as comfortable as their other styles!

Hi mate would you use them for sprint training (10-80m) on road & track?

Hey man, have you tried the Furoshiki Evo's by chance? I was curious how those differ from these if anyone knows. Thanks! Also, would you be able to comment on the support of this shoe? Would it be useful for lateral movements in grass or trail, or would they not really be of use in that area? Thanks!

Not fantastic for lateral movements/ traction would be my guess

@@DrHoulihan Thanks!

Definitely doesn’t cost $1 to make that shoe. Just so you know, all complex garments and shoes are sewed and assembled by hand in modern day. On top of that, designs using non standard molds require alot of extra investment from companies. So if you think the people hand-sewing your clothes and assembling your shoes across the world deserve $1 for their efforts, fair enough.

If you have the actual manufacturing cost of these shoes, I would be happy to look. Shoes with similar materials and build cost around $3-$5 to make, so I may have underestimated. However, implying that I believe factory workers deserve to earn $1 for their work is an astonishing way to misconstrue the information presented in this video

how's wearing socks with these?

Honestly haven't tried, don't think it would be too cumbersome though
