This mans channel its criminally underrated , amazing video mate

[@LNN_Plays]

I've been wearing barefoot shoes constantly for like 6 months now. It feels so weird to wear normal shoes. Even socks feel tight on my toes now. Dope video.

[@ArialTheCat]

Vivobarefoot is actually considered narrow compared to other barefoot shoes brands. Seeing your foot shape, Vivo is actually too narrow for your toe splay. You can try Saguaro, pretty wide toe box and pretty affordable.

[@melt9863]

the sizing on Saguaro varies too much. It’s hard to find a size that fits as it should.

[@ArialTheCat]

@@melt9863 They finally started to list the width, at least on Amazon, for the Luck 1 style. So far I’ve tried the Luck 1 and the rain boots. The sizing of these two styles are consistent with Vivo or Be Lenka. I haven’t tried their athletic styles.

[@sadracrovi]

I use saguaro for casual and vivo for hiking (because of the higher quality and materials). Saguaro is very comfortable but I have to buy a new pair every 6 months, not a big deal since they're way more affordable

[@toriwolf5978]

Wow think I will just buy a really cheap wide running shoe do the same thing 😂😂😂😂 flat on ground.

[@ArialTheCat]

@@melt9863 The casual ones like Luck I fits true to size for me and pretty much as their sizing chart states. My feet are about 25.5 cm long, 10.3 cm wide, size 41 fits me very well.

[@zmooc]

FYI These days in the category of sock-shoes, there are Skinners. Their 2.0 version has quite a wide toe"box". I can walk very long distances in them but they're not an every day all day shoe mostly because they get quite sweaty. They do offer significantly more freedom of movement than Vivobarefoots. Also, another much cheaper brand of barefoot shoes I've found to be worth the trouble Freet.

[@ruddy17]

Haha, my first pair of barefoots were exactly same orange knit primuses. Can totally confirm every word. I wear barefoots exclusively for about 2 years, it took me about 3 months before I even started trying to run in them, a few hunderd meters at a time at first, but since about month 6 of adapting, I now run in them every day. Recently did a half marathon with zero problems. One piece of advice I could give is try to relearn walking, to step on forefoot instead of heelstriking. For me, it felt really unnatural at first, but i persisted and after a few weeks it became a second nature. Starts to feel really weird to hit the heel at all, when instead you can step softly. Also, it will improve your calves, ankles and feet and prepare them to endure longer runs.

[@bdelahunty]

Great video! For longer walks and running I like to use wide toe box running shoes with zero drop like topos or altras. I love vivos for everday wear

[@ez_isaac]

Very informative video 🔥

[@thecookziggy]

Great vid, you will have 100,000 subscribers in no time

[@extremedj66]

Great video! As others have said, I also recommend Altra's for running

[@healthy-natural-10]

I have the Hykes Pinnacle and love them, best shoes I've ever owned and I will never go back to restricted regular shoes. After only a couple months my feet feel so much stronger.

[@jdaws4896]

Awesome video, l own 5 pairs of vivobarefoot ranging from smart shoe to trail swimming ones. I agree that they are great for general fitness and everyday use. For running l like altra , they have a wide toe box and zero drop .

[@williamlacey9020]

Bros got Monster Munch

[@Amadeusz90]

I've managed to buy Primus Lite III for heavily discounted price, and absolutely agree with every sentiment - they are comfy, you feel a lot of additional sensations when walking (it is more "involved" in a way?) and they're so good for gym and driving a car (throttle/clutch control is great in those). With that being said, they are crazy expensive where I live, cost nearly as much high end running shoes and I managed to almost chew through the sole in just a single year. I'll have to find a cheaper alternative now that the discount is gone I guess.

[@kneecapjake]

I have only recently got into running 5ks, hoping the shoes hold up to the task. Been great so far at least.

[@z0uLess]

how vivobarefoot made people advertise for them for free is a masterclass in advertisement

[@kneecapjake]

Well all I can say is, if you make a good product people talk about it. And I like to do that in the form of a video😀

[@z0uLess]

@@kneecapjake its a good product from certain theoretical perspectives, and not from others. you are a fitness influencer gymbro lifter allround health and wellness person, or something to that effect. my algorithm is tuned to this because google has decided that this is the personality that I have as well. this does not mean that there isnt a world outside of this bubble. lionel messi has insured his left leg for 900 million USD, and his foot is crammed into a narrow shaped shoe.

[@Filip-ci3ng]

These look beautiful but toe box doesn’t look wide enough

[@ElijsDima]

For running, I find Altras are worthwhile, as they are cushioned but still have wide toebox, decent flex and (at least some models) 0 drop. For everyday, yep, vivos are where it's at; except for winter/snow/ice; the Vivo soles are extremely slippy on ice.

[@mami3790]

actually for squats, that depends on the individual. flat, minimalist heels are great for wider stance low bar squatters!

[@kneecapjake]

Thats interesting to know, I have always been a high bar squatter. But I seem to have good ankle mobility so haven't had any issues wearing these shoes. But I do feel like I would lift more weight if I tried them.

[@DavidSinanan]

You must likely 'subluxed' one of your metatarsals. That's the injury's name that'll make you limp when fatigued in barefoot shoes. I've done it a couple times, but still, overall the benefits exceed the negatives. I got my first pair of Vivos in 2016 and have since fully transitioned to barefoot shoes. For the last 3+ years I've only worn barefoot shoes exclusively. One thing people think is that they're a lot more expensive. The thing is they get a lot more milage than cushioned shoes as the cushions in shoes compres and wear out much faster than shoes with no cushion to compress. You can get 5000 miles out of a pair of barefoots pending no other damage to the materials on things like the upper etc. And Revivo care restore your shoes for a fee, which I think is awesome.

[@kneecapjake]

That's a good point. I haven't looked into Revivo. It might be worth getting my older pair looked at. Luckily I haven't had that limping recently. I started running 5K in barefoot shoes and my feet seem to be working just fun with no pain :D

[@DavidSinanan]

@@kneecapjake glad your runs are working out for you!

[@Ducksnuget]

I'd send your shoes into revivo to get repaired so you can continue to wear the pairs you like. Its not available in the US though :(

[@emrickruest]

Hello what is the model of your vivo barefoot shoes?

[@kneecapjake]

Hey! I just looked at the shoe, it says Primus Lite // Knit on it!

[@emrickruest]

@@kneecapjake thanks!

[@YTesting]

Running in barefoot shoes is the single most brutal thing you can do, it takes a while to get used to.

[@jannplanken]

If running shoes truly did what they’re set out to do, would you not expect to see a drop in the rate of running related injuries since the ~80s from when they were introduced

[@YTesting]

@@jannplanken yes true.

How are you? Your Content is fantastic, But your video optimization section area is not perfectly up to date. Out of 100, that's a score of only 00, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I think your KZbin channel will make your dream come true. I am waiting for your response.

[@rezaulbari3404]
