[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

Hopefully! Until then it may be worth playing around with making your own or checking out lower cost options like the Revivo website, Xero etc

They already are cheap on amazon from that brand Whitin and Joomra, to all these no name brands to cheap water shoes that to me feel better and less restrictive. I bought the xero Prios and I barely wear them. My most worn pair that have lasted over a year is these $20 water shoes from a no name brand called L-run.

Having a wide toe box is more important than having more ground feel. When our toes are squeezed, our arches can’t get activated. With collapsed arches, reducing the cushion could do more harm than help. I’ve made that mistake myself. I wore barefoot shoes with toe boxes too narrow for me for a few years and had foot pain. Finally I realized those were too narrow for me and I replaced most of my shoes last year. Now I’m really getting the benefits of wearing barefoot shoes and recovering from years of damage from narrow toe box shoes. I don’t know if Whitin shoes were available when you made the video, but now people can spend $40 or less for a pair of wide toe box zero drop shoes, from which they can benefit a lot more than a pair of Vans.

[@runningonshrooms]

I think the name fits much better! I grew up wearing vans 24/7, the problem I had was that while the sole of the shoes were always great, where the upper meets the midsole around where the balls of the feet are, the upper always tore off after 6-7 months. If my vivos last up to 2 years like yours then I will still come out on top instead of replacing vans twice a year!

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

For sure, I always live by the rule of buy cheap buy twice and I look forward to hearing how you get on with the vivos as you break them in!

[@smallwhitefox142]

as someone with a narrower foot, sizing up a bit has usually created wide enough toe box for my feet and as i already have the old school vans (sized up to be wide enough) this is something i will definitely try after the winter (and snow) passes

I usually don't have expensive taste, but I don't spare any expenses for good foot health. Some things are worth paying extra for in my honest opinion.

[@childcrone]

Two points: One, I've been seeing your focus going this way. (It's how you wound up in my Recommended) Cheering you on with the changes! And two, I would love to see what you think of Splay shoes. Simple canvas and rubber, inexpensive*, super barefoot toe box. Soles 4mm, 5mm for bigger sizes. *normally $70, I picked up mine on a sale for $50. Even though I'm used to working and hiking in my Vivo boots and my old Altras, I was surprised how many other muscles 'woke up' when I took them on my usual walk!

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

Thank you! I’d not heard of Splay shoes before, they look like an interesting low cost alternative. I’ll be honest, I’m not in love with their look or the velcro closing system but will definitely order a pair to try out when I’m back in the West 🙌🏽

[@free_microwave]

for something similar to the eras that are a bit wider for the toes give the era 59's a go. ive always had wide feet and been driven crazy by shoes that smoosh my toes together, once i found the era 59s they've been all ive worn for nearly a decade. i can splay out my toes nearly as wide as i can while fully bare foot without needing to size up so far that the length is wrong, but it does take a bit to get to that point. when i get a new pair they always feel a bit narrow for a while. in all my pairs the sole is attached but the last pair i purchased was at least a few years ago(still use them daily, these shoes hold up insanely well). iirc the regular eras also had attatched soles in the past so the 59's might have removable ones now too. and yeah they do start out stiff around the heel and toe but with a couple weeks of wear they break in and become very flexible in those regions as well. i found my pairs to widen around the toes after a couple weeks and sort of form to my natural toe splay. only just found out about barefoot shoes and ordered some vivos right away since they seem to be taking everything i loved about my vans and designing the whole shoe around those aspects, cant wait for them to arrive! after using eras for similar reasons for years its cool to see someone bringing them up as an option for barefoot shoe users :D

Vans were designed for skateboarding which requires plenty of board feel which is the reason for the thin sole.

The Tredsafe Unisex Kitch is much wider than vans and has a similar look and costs a lot less.

Pool shoes or water shoes from like Walmart are also a good cheap option for barefoor/sockshoes feel its really breathable from my experience durable for the price words of warning though it does feel like your not wearing shoes so it may not work for some due to the thiness of the sole

[@joshthomas7053]

You can get VELHO movement shoes with zero drop, thin sole, and wide toe box for $33 though. So, that would probably make more sense than getting these vans.

@@TheBarefootStrengthProject Yep, I find them beautiful

[@SammyVista1972]

Well, I have Vivos, Van's, Xero, Doc Martens, various skate shoes of other brands. Out of my three pairs of Vivo's, two pairs had the rubber soles perish, harden like a rock and begin chunking apart after 5 years. Useless and junk now. The one good pair are about 10 years old, still functional, use a more aggressive sole of a different rubber. Vivo had zero interest examining the bad ones to see what went wrong. Lost a customer because of their I care not attitude. Plenty others out there with great barefoot minimalist shoes. Oh, the Doc Martens are over 20 years old, the soles are still flexible with no cracks, albeit getting a bit smooth on the treads. A new company, by the way, called Icarus has a very nicely styled barefoot shoe, with a very strong guarantee. They are less expensive then Vivo, look better. They come with three different insoles so you can pick the softness or decent barefoot feel. I hope they do well with a business model like that. Hopefully I can spring for a pair of those soon. Thanks for posting about the Van's. Yes, they are too narrow in the toe box. Getting hard to wear them now!

[@jarrahdrum]

I suppose the priority is to have a wider foot space first, then thinner soles. I am all for but, the only thing that concerns me about the thin soles is for protection from broken glass etc. I am wondering if Kevlar or a similar material could be used for soles. More puncture resistant?

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

You can buy Kevlar insoles now so that could be an option but it’s why in an ideal world getting actual barefoot shoes like Vivos, that have been specifically designed to combine thin soles w/ puncture resistance, would be the best long term option

[@jarrahdrum]

@@TheBarefootStrengthProject Thank you, I will purchase a pair of Vivo's, the only thing that is holding me up is sizing, Ive always had to size up because of narrow fittings, according to the Vivo app, (a4 photo) I am a 10 and I noticed that this app also suggested 11 automatically for me with certain Vivos,

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

@@jarrahdrum I’d trust the recommendation of the app, it’s pretty accurate and I myself fluctuate between 45 and 46 depending on the shoe. Whichever you do go for the code GT10 gets you 10% off which always helps 🙌🏽

[@Briceo0o]

I wonder if putting a heat gun to the toe box would allow you to heat mold them to a more "footy"shape.

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

Sadly at a scientific level, rubber is a thermoset material, meaning once the material is molded it is “set” and cannot be broken down to be molded again. Thermoplastics, on the other hand, can be reformed and reset over and over again using heat so if you were to find a shoe using a thermoplastic toe box then yes I’m theory you could, but otherwise not 👎🏼. Cool idea though!

[@teddavidsson]

wish they could make some more stylish barefoot shoes. aaand just straighten and widen the vans some.

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

That would be very helpful!

[@MrHepcat34]

Great vid! I do like the new name. I also love the idea of Vans as an entry point to barefoot. At this point my toes are too wide for regular shoes. Maybe I can convince my wife to start wearing Vans without insoles since I have noticed bunions on her feet.

[@childcrone]

I think anything with a tapered toe is going to be trouble for making bunions worse over time. That big toe needs to be able to go straight! edit to add: Although, the better feel of the ground could help her start walking/striding in a healthier way.

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

Could be a good starting option but as ChildCrone says, need that big toe out straight long term! Option could be more time barefoot at home and some toe spacers coupled with sole-less vans until she’s hooked enough to try full barefoot? 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@Jota-rc8yq]

Skip the Vans, Muki Shoes and Splay Athletics both make a sub $100 canvas style barefoot shoe.

[@egi.simkus]

Ali express has a pretty good variety of barefoot shoes for 20-30€, even though they don't advertise them as being barefoot, they are leather, and super comfortable, only problem is that leather is very thin, so it doesn't last much longer than a year, but maybe it's because I don't use any leather care products.

[@christianlangfield9303]

Glad about the change of channel direction and name as I'm much more interested in barefoot strength info than hunting. Regarding customising Vans, I don't think that's a good idea because of the toebox. For anyone who wants minimal trendy shoes and doesn't mind a narrow toebox then Feiyue (Chinese originals) are quite cool, the Shaolin monks swear by them and super cheap. There's some cheap proper barefoot shoes on Amazon or 2nd hand Vivos through Revivo or eBay. No need to deform your toes to fit in with brand fashion, screw what people think and do your own thing. If this last 3 years has taught me anything it's that sheep group think can be downright stupid and destructive, people will go along with whatever bullsh!t they're told to believe. Gotta be a free thinker these days because of all the lies being pumped out all the time.

[@ThatDollLoopie]

I think the purpose of this modification is for people who live in parts of the world where they don't have easy access to alternative options. I live in South Africa, we don't have amazon and the only barefoot shoes available are vivo, I've looked for everything including tabi shoes. Also I think it's kind of ignorant to call everyone stupid for going along with marketing, people are raised in society following the examples of their parents (like what kind of shoes they wear), fashion trends and also don't forget how manipulative marketing can be (just take a look at any Nike add for why you need cushioning). My point is that we must be sympathetic to the people who've fallen into this trap instead of insulting them, you catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar

[@christianlangfield9303]

@@ThatDollLoopie if you read carefully you'll see that group think is what I said can be stupid and destructive (as opposed to reasoned, rational thought), but I take your point it does come across a bit insulting. I'm surprised you don't have access to Amazon there or anywhere online to buy minimal/ barefoot shoes, I guess most are American and European based. Sounds like a good opportunity for someone to set up a company distributing them over there.

As for the name change, I’m ok with I just think you should’ve made your thumbnail with something like “I’m changing my name!” in it. I spent a hot minute just staring at my phone thinking who the hell is this and how’d they get on my feed. 😂 As for the giveaway, great idea! Maybe you can consider a $200 giveaway every 2k subs, so one for reaching 2k, then 4K, 6k, 8k, and lastly 10k. A little less immediate strain on your wallet and more people get exposure to barefoot products. As for this video, I think this is a cool way to cheaply try out barefoot shoes. For me personally, I’m going to do a bit more research and just save up over the next few paychecks and hopefully get a full on barefoot shoe sometime this spring/summer. I live in nyc so I’m a bit worried about them getting dirty, but I think that’s a sacrifice I’ll just have to make.

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

Haha well I won't make the same mistake again! I was torn up on whether to make it it's own video or just storm it but this seems to have worked and I'm pleased you didn't miss it! I had also considered something like you suggested for the giveaway but in the end decided against as I don't want to tie the channel growth to continuous giveaways. I love my subs on the community and anything I can do to get them into barefoot, I will - but worry too many giveaways would lead to people just subbing to win something as opposed to subbing to engage with the content if that makes sense. Definitely sounds like you've got the right idea with saving some bank for some true barefoots - you won't regret it (and just buy black to avoid the NYC grime ;))
