In the 5 or 6 weeks I've been wearing barefoot shoes, not a single person has said anything to me about them. I wear them whenever I leave the house, whether it's just to walk around the neighborhood or go grocery shopping or whatever, not a single soul has said a word. Maybe no one's really noticed, maybe no one cares. If someone cares that much about the shape of the toe box on your shoes, they gotta change their priorities. XD

I have flat feet and was always told I need feet support or inserts in order to run, I HATED that and I picked up the Vibram five fingers and started slowly running farther and farther. It's been 7 years and although I don't run in the five fingers anymore or even have them, they allowed my feet to strengthen to the point where I can run in any show. Honestly, they are great shoes and the feeling of walking or running in them is truly awesome.
@zxcvb7653 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing! I have flat feet too and I wore custom insoles for a few years to create an arch, after a while I realised the arch is actually pushing the legs outwards and causing a lot of joint pain in the hips and knees. I am slowly transitioning to barefoot shoes, and I noticed I don't have joint pains anymore, but I get a lot more muscle soreness around my feet as I am activiating all the muscles that has been dormant for years!

@@kalithechamp1412 I walk about 18,000 steps a day but I’m sure you do more as an Amazon worker and I wear Vibram shoes almost everyday. They are my favorite barefoot shoe…if you are new to wearing barefoot shoes I would advise you to break them in. Wear them in the house for a while first, then maybe on your days off, they take a little time to get use to. Also Vibram shoes aren’t always sized perfectly in my opinion. Look into them but I’m sure once you find a good fit you will like them.

yea go for it :D personaly i didnt transition coz the muscles build fast even more if you walk everyday, also why pay a pair and change in some months. so gotta say i had quite the lot of soreness but kept wearing them and up to some point it went away. been 3 years now id say big changes can be seen on 1 / 3 months then a year then 3 :D gl

7:10 a different knot is helpful to keep these laces from being untied. Going through the hole 2x (one loop or double bunny ears) creates a much better knot. It’s called a “double slip knot” and works well with keeping leather laces on boat shoes tight as well. And easy to untie with just a pull on either end.

For running on regular shoes, amongst all the brands I tried so far I found the Hokas have the wider toe box (considering the specific models I wore from each brand..) I have the Hoka Mach 5 (not barefoot at all, one size up) and the toe box is really comfortable comparing to other brands I wore for running (asics, nike, adidas, saucony, fila, mizuno, northface..). My saucony was so tight that I gave them up after just a couple runs.. too sad coz the shoe midsole technology was really magnificent (the Triumph) The Hoka’s are quite expensive tho.. which I really don’t like 😂 but it was still a great deal to run in such comfortable toe box.. Back in the days I had the Nike’s Free 5.0. My first minimalistic run experience and to this day still my favorite running shoe I ever wore.. sadly Nike changed their minimalistic shoes too much (and got the price too high)

Great run through on the State of Barefoot shoes! My current shoe rotation is: * Vivo Primus Lite III for lifting/hiking * Feelgrounds Droptop Luxe as my casual shoe (classic white leather slip-on sneaker!) * Vivo Magna Forest + microspikes for snow * Hoka Mach 5 Wide (I wear a size 10EE in these, and size 10 in all others) for running. I'm also a bit heavier than I would like before I transition back to running in my barefoot shoes full-time, so using these for now. The EE width is wide enough for me even with feet swelling from running, and these have a very marginal heel drop.
