Got a pair alchemy customs recently. Process and product are fantastic. DLD are awesome.

[@barefootshoejosh]

Agreed.. high quality work!

[@deliberatelifeadventure5908]

Yo Josh! thanks for that review! Glad you dig em'! That combo is so light and flexi! Cheers!

[@barefootshoejosh]

Thanks for the great sandals, Adam! Great work!

[@Anthony_Soriano]

Please post some videos about your sandals.

[@barefootshoejosh]

@@Anthony_Soriano I've posted a few sandal videos now.. Lunas, Shammas, Earth Runners, Bedrocks, Geniale Sandale, Deliberate Life Designs, probably others (and one or two more are coming very soon...).. so I'm not sure what you mean..

[@Anthony_Soriano]

@@barefootshoejosh I'm saying this to DLD because I can't find any reviews about his sandals. Something like Pursuit after 200 miles or Intuition sandals after 100 miles. Reviews like that etc. Well, Shamma Sandals have a YT channel they have lots of reviews about their sandals. :)

[@barefootshoejosh]

@@Anthony_Soriano Ah.. gotcha. He's one man, and he's busy making sandals and raising his family, so I'm guessing that marketing time is slim... so It's kind of up to customers to put stuff up to help him out... Besides mine... Here's one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4OYknZpbtShipo&ab_channel=PaultheBackpacker Here's another: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3TKfaONr7KsmtU&ab_channel=Anya%27sReviews Also you could do a search on Instagram and Facebook, and I'll bet there are some folks on there singing DLD praises... but I'm guessing.

Man i like those sandals man. I really like them a lot. I love the colors of them. That the color i want to get man. I really really like the end of the video showing the sandals on your feet 🦶 to see what they look like on. It's like you going to buy a pair of sandals at the store & you went to see what they looks like being on before you buy them. Thanks you Buddy for showing what the sandals looks like being on.👍👍

[@barefootshoejosh]

Yeah they have a lot of colors to pick from and you can pick the color of the footbed too.. they also have different sole thicknesses to choose from. Get something that works for your big feet, man!

[@mackjenkins7721]

@@barefootshoejosh Josh man thanks you so much man for this information man. That is awesome that you can pick the colors of the straps & the footbed of the sandals. That is one that I like. I love to doing Custom things especially with my Sandals. I went out to dinner with my family ( wife , 6 boys , daughter in law , Granddaughter , Grandson , my lil brother Tim , & his son Jimmy ) & while we were waiting for our tables I noticed this guy kept staring at my feet 🦶. He Finally ask me was my sandals one of the Minimalis sandals? I had on my Shamma Cruzers on. I said yes they are. He said he was thinking about getting a pair of these sandals. I told him to get a pair & you will love them. I said you have to get use to being barefooted 👣 though. He said he is barefooted all the time at home. He do a lot of work barefooted 👣 at home & I have on my Hey Dudes shoes on because we are out for dinner but if I had those sandals I would have them on right now. He said my Hey Dudes are the Closest barefooted 👣 shoe I have right now. I said you are going to love those sandals if you get a pair. I said they fit very well for me & as you can see I have big very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 with very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across. He said yes I see how your feet 🦶 are very wide & your toes too. He said I have never seen toes that Evenly straight across like that before. How wide is your foot ? I said it's 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. He said Wow man that a pretty huge wide feet 🦶 you got man with the chubby fat wide toes on top of that. I said yes it is. I told him I was born with very very extremely wide feet 🦶 & these sandals work out really well for me. I said to him that I can only wear flip flops 🩴 & these sandals because shoes are not wide enough for my feet 🦶 & I can barely & I mean barely fit my flip-flops on my feet 🦶 because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps so I wear these sandals more because I don't have that problem with the straps on them. I help him look up a pair of these sandals on his phone. I said to him when we went to go to our table that I hope he get a pair of these sandals. Now my lil brother Tim & his son Jimmy Wants to get a pair now. Again man thanks you so much for your information man. I thought I would share my story about the guy asking me about my sandals last right.

[@exerciserelax8719]

You're right, those fabric straps do not wear out. I had Shammas that were starting to wear through the sole after years of running on them but the fabric was still going strong.

[@barefootshoejosh]

Yes I still find that surprising how well the straps last. These seem even tougher than most.

[@coatedinacid]

Please make more videos! I miss your reviews!

[@barefootshoejosh]

Thanks for the encouragement. I would make more videos; but I haven't received any new shoes from the shoe companies yet to review, and money is tighter than usual for me right now, so I'm not buying anything at the moment. I'm hoping it picks back up soon! Thank you again!

The best custom sandals are made by Matt Paisley in Denver.

[@barefootshoejosh]

"Best" is subjective; but Paisley's sandals are great! I've reviewed them here on the channel. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWPEhaR3prySaas

[@TheSchyllerwade]

I’ve been looking for a quality minimalist sandal like this, would these be your #1 pick? Ideally I would like something in the huarache style, and mostly leather (and prob with vibram sole or something similarly durable). Again, your reviews are MUCH APPRECIATED

[@barefootshoejosh]

These are really well made. The straps are on the stiff side, so they aren't my very favorite of all my sandals; but I do like them a lot. You will want these if a more "stock" model doesn't accommodate your feet shape/size, or if you just have a very specific/unusual design you want them to create custom for you. I don't think I have a single pair of sandals that gives me everything I want, but some brands to check out for what you are looking for specifically are Shamma Sandals, Earth Runners, Pies Sucios and Luna Sandals. I have reviews on each of these brands, but only one model of each, so keep in mind that if you don't like the particular model I review, they may have another model you like.. and you can use my links and codes to check them all out and get your discounts. * Shamma: bit.ly/shammajosh gets you 10% off * Earth Runners: bit.ly/joshearthrunners (I can't remember if this gives you a discount or not) * Luna: bit.ly/lunajosh (I can't remember if this gives you a discount or not) * Pies Sucios: bit.ly/suciosjosh and use code JOSH5OFF to save 5%

@@barefootshoejosh good to know-yes i have come across the shamma and Luna sandals before, honestly surprised that there are this many options! I figured there would only be one or two but glad that barefoot shoes are becoming more prevalent. Have a pair of Vivo primus trail knits on the way, but sandals are next on the list. Thanks again!

[@barefootshoejosh]

@@TheSchyllerwade There are even more out there that I just personally don't own and haven't reviewed yet. Two that I am most interested in reviewing that are along the lines of what you are looking for are these.. * Hommo Sandals: www.hommosandals.com * Aborigen Sandals: www.aborigensandals.com Maybe my personal favorite sandals because they are the most like having nothing on my feet, though, are my Geniale Sandale. I'm not sure if you're looking for something that light. I did a review on them on the channel. Anyway, their website is www.genialesandale.at/ and use my link JOSHBAREFOOT to save 5%
