I believe health should be accessible to everyone, and sometimes it looks like the barefoot movement is more focused on being an elite one than providing knowledge and opportunity to everyone. This brand is a game changer in that and I am here for it! Good job! I am looking forward to a white pair!

[@OwenJackson]

Hey Cal. It's exciting to see new steps being taken in the barefoot space 👣 Glad to hear you're onboard. A white pair sounds fantastic, here's to embracing style and freedom on this barefoot journey 🦶

Much appreciated Benji 🙏 The green looks great right. Are you a barefoot enthusiast too? 🦶

[@Doxus91]

It's really nice to see new brands pop up in the barefoot space providing different styles and pricepoints so more people can enjoy them. What i like about barefoot shoes is that they teach me what movement the body likes. I had a pretty big heelstrike, both while running and walking. Since getting my first pair i've started running with proper form and taking a bit shorter strides while walking to reduce the impact. Now i feel more active when walking and running and my knees, hips and back feel way better than they used to.

[@OwenJackson]

That's great to hear 😃 It's amazing how switching to barefoot shoes has had such a positive impact. What barefoot brands have you tried? Can you recommend any?

[@Doxus91]

@@OwenJackson I've only tried Vivo, but my favourite from them so far would be the Decon, i don't think i've tripped due to slippy surface a single time with them, they're just so grippy. Would really recommend them!

Seeing as most shoes will never really biodegrade easily, its interesting to see a company care about such an issue. Never seen a company have biodegradabilty in mind, mist companies just use recycled materials.

[@SKYsWorld-si5pd]

It has been 1 year since I started my barefoot shoe journey and more recently I have begun focusing on foot health and foot strength. I have had to rewire my brain into changing how I view modern footwear and how most are incompatible with my feet. I have had some ups and downs with transitioning but I am now at a place where wearing barefoot shoes are most comfortable. The Lono Flows look quite nice and they seem to be at a good price point in the barefoot market. It is a shame the Flow green colour does not come in my size but the white or gray ones look good too.

[@OwenJackson]

That's fantastic to hear about your barefoot shoe journey and focus on foot health and strength. Transitioning to barefoot shoes can definitely be a worthwhile investment in time, it sounds like you've made great progress. The Lono Flows do offer a good option. How has your experience been with foot exercises or other practices to complement your barefoot shoe journey?

[@CraigWrightStraygoat]

They just launched some new colours.

[@andrepb19]

I would love to give the green ones a try, they look really comfy and light. Not a big fan of the off-centered laces, though.

[@OwenJackson]

I hope your feet get to feel their freedom too Are you already a barefoot shoe enthusiast, or are you new to the barefoot world? I understand your comment about the lacing, but as another community member suggested, you can lace them conventionally by tying the first bow over the central loop. It worked for me! 😃

[@Lemmispeak]

Awesome video barefoot shoes have changed the way I see exersise and has made me rethink the shoes I wear in general awesome channel

[@OwenJackson]

Thanks for sharing your experience. How did you first get into barefoot shoes, and what changes have you noticed in your workouts since making the switch?

[@Lemmispeak]

​@OwenJackson I first got into barefoot shoes when Mark Lewis was talking about it on his channel a couple years back I wanted to try it and then tried it and never turned back . My exercise has changed because it's changed my balance and posture quite a bit. I think it's due to being more aware of it all but the shoes really do help. Worth every penny haha

[@JohnClarkW]

Washable, stretchy uppers, and biodegradable, for under $80 seems like a good deal. I bought the grey, but think all four colors look nice, and just wish there was a blue. I am looking forward the side lace, but I am middle aged, and tend to with my foot resting on the opposite knee, so it goes where I my knot tends to land anyway.

[@OwenJackson]

Hy John, the washable, stretchy uppers and biodegradable features are impressive, especially for the price. Grey is versatile, but a blue option would be nice. How do you feel about the comfort and fit so far, and do they meet your expectations in terms of ground feel and style? The asymmetric lacing might suit you perfectly, but it's easy to fix by crossing the laces over the loop in the centre of the tongue, as suggested by community members if it's not to your liking.

[@EmilyRuns-vu1wb]

I’d like grey! Did you go by EU shoe size? What is the toe cap made from- do you think it would withstand burpees in the gym or get scratched/ marked?

[@OwenJackson]

Hey Emily, I think the grey is a great choice! I went with my regular UK size 8 which corresponds perfectly with an EU 42. If you'd like to check the best size for you, scroll down to the bottom of the page and compare your unique measurements with the size guide: lonowear.com/?ref=owen There will always be some wear and tear with high-impact activities like burpees, but my initial testing seems positive. It's great that the toe cap covers a wide area, preventing premature wear on the knitted mesh upper. How do you plan to use your new shoes the most?

[@EmilyRuns-vu1wb]

In a UK 6 they say size 40, but it’s usually 39 (and that’s what my measurement suggests will be right 🤞🏻). I’m after a shoe to live in- work in a gym, CrossFit, wear out the kids, pound the pavement. I had vivo lites last summer I loved the feel but wore out the sole quickly. Merrel vapour trail good but now also worn out. Do you have any feeling about the durability of the sole of Lono compared to vivo?

[@OwenJackson]

So far the sole is good with no signs of degradation. They are a little thicker than Primus Lites, so what you lose in connection, you’ll gain in longevity

[@cendaaa]

@@OwenJackson Hi Owen, thanks for your response, I would definitely be interested in a comparison with the Biomes. Currently I train in the Primus Lite Kint, which is my favourite shoe, but perhaps a little narrow.

[@Balanced69]

Do you find them wider than Vivo (primus)?

[@OwenJackson]

Hey James, I find the Primus Lite slightly wider. The LONO shoes have a great barefoot shape but come with a little more padding, so the overall room for the foot feels slightly less. However, I still opted for the same size as my Vivos and found them similar sizing, but not identical.

Hey Evans-Claude, thanks for watching mate. Yes, I opted for the same size as I would in Vivo shoes. In comparison, the Primus Lite, and especially the Lite Knit, tend to have a bit more room when you choose the same size compared to the LONO FLOW. I wear trainer socks or go sock-less, the LONO feels great for my foot size and shape. However, with thicker socks like STANCE, I prefer removing the insole to give myself a bit of extra room.
