Some of these barefoot companies are downright smoking meth. $130 for a pair of sandals???? A couple straps and a sheet of foam???? They are downright DELUSIONAL

Yup, shoes, including barefoot shoes, can be *real* expensive. A writer acquaintance of mine recently wrote a story for Backpacker Magazine about making their own, which was a fun read!

On zeros H trail I was really waiting for this thing to come out for years but when it came out, I agree not enough adjustment. No, I did go to the store. I bought extra Velcro and I kind of super glued it a little bit too to sand strap to give me more and it was better, but in the end, it didn’t give me what I needed, the money for real cheap. I will try again if they come out with a new model I’ll probably try them again now I do feel for road running. Their aqua cloud is the best road running sandal for me made my last pair I got close to 400 miles on them and for something so thin that’s pretty cool.

I noticed this time around you got earthrunners with lifestyle laces. On the earthrunner website they say they aren’t great in water compared to the performance laces. I lean towards the lifestyle laces but often end up at beaches or puddley places. Any insight on how the lifestyle laces deal with water? And did you find them slippy after switching to the primal footbed?

@MichelleNovalee 2 ай бұрын

I have the SAME question. I went with the sunset lifestyle laces for comfort and am hoping they will do ok in the water. Even though they’re not as tough as the adventure laces, I still have heard that earth runners in general are some of the best adventure sandals for water activities.

I've had a pair of Shamma Cruisers for 5 years. They get worn for a constant 3-4 months per year for everything from daily use and errands to several mile hikes and biking. "Despite" the morflex having the lightly textured sole, I've foumd that they've been grippy on damp rainforest roots and ocean spray soaked rocks on the Oregon coast. They have a couple of options for strap length and the updates since i got mine mean that they're a lot more adjustable. Definitely don't sleep on the power straps for more intense hiking situations as they'll lock down just about any movement in the foot position on the sandal. My foot shape, I ALWAYS have some foot wiggle on these types of sandals.

We definitely want to test some power straps from a few brands next time around!

@Jarrych83 Ай бұрын

@@Terradrift with my feet, it took a while but I finally got them dialed in for most things, but the power straps are nice to keep handy for more significant situations like moderate speed water and looser soil or gravel situations. They're not that quick to put on or take off the sandal, as you have to undo the heel strap and slide it on, but it isn't exactly time consuming.

Shamma ankle Velcro cuts up my ankle. It’s fine for a few hours but not all day. A shame, b/c aside from that, it was a great shoe. Luna middlebear retro is the best for me. Incredible tread.

Why you like middle bear 🐻? I was thinking of mono

@RC-qf3mp 3 ай бұрын

@@gummybear41283 try all three thicknesses. Return the ones you don’t want to keep. Mono is too thick for me, adds extra weight and less groundfeel. But many people love them. If you’re used to more minimalist sandals, those are too thick. If you’re used to maximalist shoes, those would be a better adjustment.

@Katiajean108 3 ай бұрын

@@gummybear41283I was just talking to luna about this. The mono sole is made of foam. It's not near as solid and wears down quickly. Too squishy. I'm getting middle bear winged.

@Katiajean108 3 ай бұрын

Why do you like retro as opposed to winged?

@RC-qf3mp 3 ай бұрын

@@Katiajean108 retro is more comfortable on the sides of feet that contact the straps. There’s only straps, not plastic or other stuff that can rub or chaff or poke. The downside of the straps is that there’s a learning curve and adjustment period for figuring out how to get it just right. But the adjustability is worth the effort and time, b/c one you have that fit, you’re set. I also use the power straps to keep the shoe secure on my feet when doing aggressive hiking up/down slippery rocks. And the middle bear thickness (medium thickness for Luna) allows for good combination of groundfeel and distance off the ground (so sand/dirt less likely to get under toes) without extra bulk of mono.

I need a better sandal for OCR. I tested out the new xero sandal which was awful. Luna are great but needs like a cotton footbed to prevent from slipping the foot because of heavy mud.

I also wish u ranked these instead of reviewing them and letting us pick the pros and cons that fit us. Would be epic to do both, pros cons let people pick, while still ranking them from overall best to lest best since i get it they are all good

We do rank our faves sometimes, but it's hard because feet are so different and we all want different things! But the Deliberate Life Designs sandals are def some of my faves for hiking and trail running!

I was buying 4 pair of cheap sandles a summer for a couple years in a row, the foam eventually breaks down and the side of my foot ends up getting a round callous from the plastic. I bought a nice pair of barefoot sandals and L♥️VE them! Treat your self! They last 30 X longer and you’re not contributing to more plastic in the ocean. Less plastic going in to the ocean after the
