I have Lems barefoot canvas boot, they are fantastic.

[@KathrineJKozachok]

Was wondering where my Lems people were.

[@animaladventurers]

I've been told that Wildling shoes are really good. It would be great to see a review of them!

[@ShervinShares]

oooo ok ppl keep mentioning these, thank you!

[@aresjerry]

Can you review Merrell barefoot? heard good things about their Trail glove.

[@KathrineJKozachok]

Merrels are amazing.: the most form-fitting, most flexible, most minimalist. Incredible foot freedom. The latest version -No.5 are more narrow for some reason, so I'm buying up all the Vaper Glove 2s and 3s on ebay. Don't know if Merrell has ruined this shoe forever, or if they will eventually return to a foot shaped shoe model.

[@matthiassventoest6800]

still on the fence about barefoot shoes… been watching these videos for like 16 months

[@Erik-leChef]

Keep pumping out the content man, you have so much value in your videos that have helped me a lot in different areas. I just received those Forest Esc boots in the mail and I've had the same white pair of primus lites for about a year which I have absolutely loved. Also have a pair of vibram 5 fingers too! Love love barefoot shoes. Gotta be the future, cheers mate

[@engadgetnerd]

What? Where's the apple watch ultra?! Jk. Love it. Since watching your videos I want the primis lites now too. I would to see a video from you soon showing your essential workouts you would recommend. Love your stuff man.

[@cw4623]

Best barefoot shoe brands are as follows: FiveFingers, RealFoot, Belenka/Barebarics, Ahinsa, Freet, Topo Worst barefoot brands: Xero, Groundies, Wildling, Feelgrounds, Mukishoes, Bohempia, Lems, Altra, Vivo (Vivo are some of the best of the worst) You gave the worst ones the most attention in this video. I recommend trying some of the best and detailing those in the next video.

[@jamisonbrandt5521]

I’ve tried a good number of these but you are missing my absolute favorite brand: Lems! I’ve taken them rafting down the Grand Canyon and trekking the Annapurna region in Nepal. They also work with Correct Toes toe spacers which were a game changer for both myself and my wife’s foot health.

[@EliB0217]

I wanna buy my mom some, can you recommend a model of Lems you like ?

[@jamisonbrandt5521]

@@EliB0217 My all-time favorite model for myself is the Primal 2, but they are quite minimalist. Depending on how old and active your mom is, if she wants something with a bit more cushion the Primal Zen is another great option.

[@EliB0217]

@@jamisonbrandt5521 Thank you I really appreciate it. I'll definitely start her with the Primal Zen then, need to ease her into it for sure

[@airplants5000]

i love Freet shoes!

[@kevgoo1274]

Be Lenka is my favorite barefoot shoe company right now

[@cmoyer222]

You might like the Altra Superiors…Trail shoes, but lowest amount of cushioning for Altra and lugs aren’t too aggressive. I wear for running and as everyday shoes!

[@jonnyhughes1689]

I had the same issue with the Splay Freestyle. I had them for about a week or two and was loving them, then one day I was in a rush putting them on and tugged a bit harder and tore the side of the heel open, even worse than the tear you showed. I wish they had a bit more flexibility in the material especially around the heel to make putting them on and off more safe. Not sure If i'm going to replace them or not, I'm considering The vivo Primus Asana as the new casual everyday replacement. not sure yet.

[@terwils7492]

Totally agree, take time to transition. Our feet get atrophy in supportive shoes, like wearing a cast. Consider transition to barefoot shoes as therapy. It takes time for our foot muscles and joints to strengthen and begin moving again naturally they way they were intended. Sitting all day also contributes as the stiffness of our hips results in stiffness in the joints down to the foot. The transition can be difficult and take several years. But, the foot and our bodies are adaptable. My transition took over a year of pain as I went cold turkey to barefoot shoes. But, a year and a half later, the benefits far outweigh. I've noticed my back & knee pain are almost completely gone. My plantar fasciitis is also gone. My favorites are Wildling's now as they are most flexible. Xero's a great trail shoe and second for me. The Xero/ Naboso sandals are awesome as the texture stimulates the foot nerves like being barefoot.

[@paranormalengineeringandsu8394]

Dude appreciate the barefoot videos. Im still getting used to them, hard on my feet and heels. But they take me to the next level on the shervin scale. I bought your exact shoes, if only I could grow a mustache like yours.

[@RemarkableSean]

Thanks for the reviews, this was great! If you like how the Feelgrounds feel through the sole, you may like Ahinsa shoes as well - I have their Fall/Winter Boot and I love it. Keeps my feet warm in the MN winter and they're as comfortable as the Feelgrounds. I also got Tadeevo dress shoes and I love those too. Incredibly comfortable and flexible.

[@Scarlett-hv1wu]

Thanks for the reccomendations! I'm gonna get a pair of vibrams cos they looks so cool, I love the colour you have but unfortunately it's only available for men :(. I love all the men's colours and dislike most of the women's colours, i wish they would make all the colours available to everyone but I'll just go for the black kso evos

[@bbsaid218]

Merrel gloves are my favourite

[@michaelsigman8942]

Feelgrounds and vivo yes! And you must try: xero HFS. My favorite athletic shoe period. Also you said: you need cushion for running. Why and how much? It’s not a simple answer….

[@sinocelt]

Ah! Same here: I bought the Xpand shoelaces (for my Vivo Barefoot shoes) when they were still being crowdfunded, I think, and they've been great. For sandals, I like Unshoes, because they offer "custom" sandals that fit the shape of my feet (I've got Roman feet, like about 9% of the population; shoes are never designed to fit us).

[@soif72]

There is no best, it all comes down to personal preference. I run barefoot but in the wintertime I use kso evo and I love this shoe (almost as much as completly barefoot)

[@lleonardo_rafaell]

Barebarics from belenka, pretty nice stylish shoes 😀

[@HY-yn8mk]

there was a guy at my highschool that never wore shoes or socks, he was always barefoot and had really developed and athletic looking calves/ankles/feet even though he was skinny and didn't play any sports or anything

[@ShervinShares]

pics or it didn't happen haah

[@curanderoverde]

Vivobarefoot primus trail ii fg are the best Ive worn

[@Maniacvic]

Just got my first pair of Xero shoes. Love them, way cheaper than vivo!

[@AMEENHAI]

how do you think about allbirds and tevo?

[@carrioncrow8191]

I started out by wearing water shoes, $15-20 on Amazon, around the house and some short errands. Once I decided I liked it, I bought a pair of Vivo’s and have not looked back at all. Honestly I still have some nice shoes that I will never wear again, just because the feel “numb”

[@SithBladez]

Which watershoes did you get?

[@nidhulek]

Such a fab video ! Thanks for sharing the links. I barely find affordable shoes in Australia. They are not only costly but often have a complex return policy and charge around 20 AUD (shipping + return fee).

[@arthurjeremypearson]

Lead your video with transition slowly. Don't put it in as an afterthought at the end. Injuries dude. Injuries.

[@ShervinShares]

Gotchu

[@mmaciek163]

Try Merrell Vapor Glove model.

[@ericasedc]

Have you tried SoftStar or Lems yet!?

[@kginoregon8550]

From a female, non runner perspective - I have Xeros, Whitins, Lems Primal Pursuit Mid Waterproof, but in the summer I live in L-Run Athletic Hiking Water shoes with knit tops from Amazon. Wide toe box, zero drop, thin, grippy flex soles and loads of fun colors. And, with a sale, I can get them for around $20 a pair, so I can have a few to cycle through. I know they won't last for ever, but who cares. They feel good, meet all the criteria, look good and I can throw them out with no remorse if they develop holes. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars a pair to have barefoot shoes. And they have elastic-lock laces - installed.

[@kevinmcd112]

I'm sure you've heard of or seen ads for Birchbury. They don't charge your phone, but they're pretty dressy -- almost date status dressy. They could be your Sunday morning, going to meetin' shoes. 😃👍

[@hisdesciples]

Grab a pair of LEMS!!!!!!

[@mho...]

wearing the ones with toes for kayaking/beach stuff!, just great to basically be barefoot, but you can still just go "overboard" and run along a riverbed without the fear of cutting up your feet!

[@JessikahElise]

I've tried the Within ones and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. But, I prefer no shoes 🤷🏽‍♀️ I find with “regular” shoes if i’m on on my feet a lot I get severe pains in my feet, I don’t get that with barefoot shoes or no shoes.

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

Been using the brand xero shoes for the last 1.5 year and only problem is now I can’t wear regular shoes it feels like my feet are getting strangled

[@nickslens]

oh damn you haven't tried Lems! They have so many great options!

[@Surai00]

I wear my Vivio Primus III and the ESC boots without the inserts. I never hear anyone discuss whether they use the inserts or not. Do you guys use the inserts, or only when it's really cold? I've developed cold tolerance in my feet since I stopped using them and now I can walk in the cold without shoes and still feel comfortable.

[@puvendranpillay8802]

The best barefoot shoes for workouts is any aquashoes or divers shoes. Best barefoot shoes for casual outings is any boxing shoe.

[@Voltasaur]

I’ve been looking for comfortable shoes that don’t crush my baby toe. This brand looks good.

[@AyameKiri]

I dont wear socks with my 16 pairs of vibram fivefingers

[@Ahkomaton]

But what socks do you wear with the Vivo's?

[@ShervinShares]

regular Amazon socks!

[@Mitchy_P5]

You gotta try out Origo shoes! Sick everyday classic look in leather or canvas. Some of their shoes are even made from cactus leather! 🌵

[@JohnSaff123]

Having a bare foot shoe with the BOA lace system would be amazing!

[@mustangcody]

Now all they need to make is some barefoot work boots with either aluminum or composite toe.

[@GrPaladino]

Lems makes the most comfortable barefoot shoes ever. Check them out if you haven’t already

[@laurayeesnover631]

Thank you for making these videos on BF shoes. It's good to know about different existing brands. I found that the Vivos were too narrow but Altras were very accommodating and comfy. Altras are sooooo wide that they actually fit my foot (FAT, FLAT, bunion)! Too bad they don't make barefoot shoes.

[@marcdesrochers1250]

Too bad that none of them come in a very wide width for a given size.

[@endergonzalez7970]

I’ve been wanting the prime lites for a month now gonna get them for Christmas I wanna run a marathon in them shits

[@KevinBeavers]

Which ones were his favorite?

[@steverogers5284]

Flux footwear are the best.

[@pawballer1964]

I been wearing bfshoes for some years and I can't go back (of course not). Right now I'm in a search for a pair to use in winter weather and with a casual look. All I found are boots which I don't want. Do someone knows what shoe would be good for that? Actually I have Xero HFS (really breathable). Splays in black, nice ones to dress casually, but after a while feet became cold if temperature it's around 5-15 degrees.

[@ShervinShares]

that's a tough question - i wear & like the Vivo boots right now

[@noahsterling190]

gobi from vivo, they have a winter version which is isolated and still have a high top dress shoe style

[@OwenJackson]

[@KeithMorgan]

Wildlings are awesome. You def need to try them!

[@ShervinShares]

oooo yes adding to my list for future videos!

[@graefx]

I've always worked out barefoot. Did no socks for hockey. My biggest issue is I wear US15, vivo clocked my foot at 298mm, so that drastically limits my options. I really like the splay freestyle plum look and price point but at max US13, my foot is going to be crammed in there and defeat the purpose. I'm happy to know most of these brands last. I hate having to buy new shoes over and over again so in lieu of a repair or resole option, just being durable natural materials is a big plus for me.

[@CptAngelADVlogs]

Look into Bohempia extra wide size option (marked with W in sizing). They're the widest thing you can buy. No way you won't fit in those. Also Belenka is really wide and Xero is about to introduce super big sizes. Don't trust Vivo auto sizing it's complete garbage. Measure your feet yourself.

[@daprophet9899]

Xero has bigger sizes. I am a true us15 and the prio model gives me some great room. I got mine for 65 on eBay

[@mamabear9389]

Freet is a good brand

[@madzzzey]

Have hobbit feet… vivo isn’t wide enough

[@mamabear9389]

Me too. Try Freet or SoftStar primal.

[@SteveBIRK]

I have a question about the Altra's. Do you have to change up your running stride with them like everyone seems to recommend with other barefoot shoes? I assume the transition to running in those would be easier seeing as they still have some cushion.

[@doppelgangersmoppelganger9883]

If you change the way your foot rests your stride will change naturally with practice, but be sure now to injure yourself at first

[@bb4prelude73]

Some what yes . They are zero drop shoes . But they are a lot more forgivingsinc they are a high stack zero drop shoe . I would just change your cadence . Shorten your stride. I run in super high stack shoes and barefoot shoes . The stride that barefoot shoes have taught me . Has made me a stronger runner . I’ve never had. Shin splints or runners knee to this point . Also the shoe he shoes on here from Altra is the torin which is a high stacked zero drop shoe . If you want a good intro barefoot shoes that will help you transition into a true barefoot shoes . Go with the Altra escalate racer . Although right now you can get great deals on the torin 6 since the torin 7 just came out . But in the end of the day zero drop makes healthier feet imo also a bigger splay
