I found some affordable, nicer looking ones (look similar to vans but wider toe box) on Amazon and they have turned into my daily’s.

First of all, I've had enough with plastic socks, come on most clothing today is plastic and I don't want that. Socks and underwear have been the most hard items to find without plastic. I found some cotton underwear without plastic, works but not the best but I'm grateful for it. I also found some cotton socks but they are way too short, I mean they are too short from toe to heel, so I still wish to find some good cotton socks...

Why do my feet hurt when not wearing shoes?

[@joanneko3953]

because they are used in wearing shoes. and the shoes are doing the foots job, leaving the foot muscles in atrophy. you need to take it easy. you cant just go barefoot from one day to another. maybe you should see a doctor too

The same reason when you try lifting heavy weight that you haven't familiarized yourself with before: your feet are weak.

Is xero or vivo better? Also, any1 know of any American made cotton or wool toe socks?

[@nsiebenmor]

They’re each shaped differently so it depends on what model fits your foot. Injinji is a good toe sock brand but don’t know if they’re American made.

[@Zam432F]

@@nsiebenmor what are the differences in shape?

[@nsiebenmor]

@@Zam432F if you were to take the insoles out and overlay them you'd see how they're shaped differently. Vivos give me enough space for my big toe but cramp up my little toes so I'm now wearing the Xero Prios in the gym. Even though Xeros give me slightly less space for the big toe the upper material allows it to move laterally with comfort and I have room for my other toes. The upper matters too because some will flex more then others. Also each brand has different thicknesses for the outsole which makes a big difference for ground feel. Best thing to do is order several different brands, models, and sizes and try them on. Some brands will have print outs you can make to place your foot on to see if it fits before buying. Think about it, everyone's feet shape are so unique it's impossible for companies to make a shoe that will fit everyone. I would also recommend trying them on and only wearing with toe socks because regular socks can pull your toes together just like shoes. Good luck
