Very good video Matt! I have been transitioning to barefoot/minimalist for awhile now but have kicked it up considerably in the last few weeks. Thanks for sharing!

Love the tip on how to widen the shoe. I have a hard time finding a good quality shoe wide enough for my feet. So I tend to have to settle for whatever shoe is wide enough. Great job! And thanks for the tip.

does the cordage hurt the foot now that it sits directly on the skin?

[@travismavis6790]

i was wondering the same exact thing

[@frankc6430]

it should not hurt, depending of type of cordage and how tight they are...paracord or regular laces or leather or flat cordage is what sandals are made of, if using vines or roots then got to chose the smoothest part or process by shaving it on the critical places specially between toe , (it can be wrap a small piece of cloth on the cordage used )...if shoe or sandals moves too much on the foot while walking ,they will rub on skin if not tight enough too....I use beach sandals all summer and it only bother my feet when they are loose on the foot; I seen primitive sandals done in my country by the peruvian indians in the mountains using modern (tires) materials to fit their needs, they don`t use boots or shoes out there ....just my 2 cents.

He said in another video that the laces don't really rub up against your skin and if they do he would change up the lacing pattern as needed to reduce any rubbing in the same spots

[@OregonMikeH]

[@erhock92]

Darryl Smitherman Altra

[@erhock92]

[@traviscooke148]

altra lone peak 3.0 they have the 3.5 out now which is even better

[@poorman1ktm990]

wow going pay $120 for sandal now pay $30 for shoe cut up tks matt

[@jimf1964]

My gr would kill me if I came home with new shoes like that, and the pain would be worse than the blister

[@Chungustav]

Roman running sandals 👍🏼

[@frankc6430]

good idea to carry good flat sandals as a backup footwear I guess... those feet need relax time when possible...in south america they make and sell just the sandals souls made from worn out car tires threads shaped like insoles to your feet , primitive enough I guess.

[@YungIroh]

i watched a man cut a shoe for 10 minutes....

[@joestagner7817]

No not the Altra

[@randyb726]

No this is an old video and you might not read it Matt what are you doing with pink shoe laces dude you do not look good in pink
