Tyr Drop Zero Review/Best Barefoot Gym Shoe

[@Gman1024]

Very slick looking, and I agree, the knit model would likely appeal to more folks overall.

[@DeePat-gd5so]

Just saw the Squat University guy made a video about the newer high top model

[@somewhatideal]

You guys should check out the Hobibear barefoot trail running shoes. They're both wide toed and has a zero drop, but the sole is thicker and has teeth that grip well onto dirt paths

[@cornydad]

I use water sport shoes for lifting. I've used the same pair for over 3 years and paid $30 for them. My favorite running shoe is the Brooks Ghost.

[@sonsofsever]

@@cornydad not a huge fan of brooks 😬 the water shoes thing isn’t a bad move though

[@skizzarz]

Have you done a series on off-brand budget barefoot shoes? I haven't searched yet but I wonder if you've tried the ashion shoes, bit narrow but very flexy compared to my altras.

[@sonsofsever]

@@skizzarz we’ve dabbled in some where the companies have reached out and sent them to us but we haven’t gotten to the point where we’ve looked seriously at them on our own time. We are kept pretty busy by the more popular brands

[@skizzarz]

@@sonsofsever Thanks for the quick response, hope to see some budget options in the mix at some point. Cheers!

[@jonathanmelendez2828]

Try the trialhead from lems

[@sonsofsever]

@@jonathanmelendez2828 had a pair for years! They're great shoes, especially for anyone who is transitioning to barefoot shoes. Not gonna be for everyone because the toe box is the narrowest that Lems has and the 4mm drop, but they look awesome and are great hiking shoes.

[@jonahmfunk9744]

Good analysis vs PLIII which I also find way too narrow and long. Why did they make the big toe so long and ridiculous???

[@sonsofsever]

@@jonahmfunk9744 no clue. Definitely not foot shaped though

Could y’all check out splays new slip on please?

Dude, what timing. I've been so interested in this shoe. But I have a size question. I'm a 10 extra wide in a majority of conventional shoes but a 10.5 to 11 in most barefoot shoes. Example: Lems Primal 3 10.5 and Lems Boulder boot (any model) 11. Xero 360/prio 10.5. Vivo a 10 is too long and too narrow. So, do you think a 10 or 10.5 might be a better option? If it helps my feet are 10.5 x 4.5 inches. As always, thanks for the upload and I apricate any advice you may have to offer.

[@sonsofsever]

@@kitcraft9516 I’d go with a 10.5. My foot is 10.5 inches exactly and these fit me perfectly

[@kitcraft9516]

@@sonsofsever Thanks, I think I'll try a pair.

What do you think of the innov8 barefoot ? What do you recommend for running ?

[@sonsofsever]

@@guillermoortiz1492 we haven’t tried the Inov8 but I have looked at it a bit and it looks kind of narrow in my opinion.

[@guillermoortiz1492]

@@sonsofsever what would you recommend for road running ?

@@guillermoortiz1492 we are huge fans of the Bahe Revive. We also love the new Altra Escalante 4

[@DeePat-gd5so]

​@@sonsofseverinvo8 bare xf is wider than other invo8 shoes. Is that the one you are looking at?

[@leonardocozza3140]

Is the laced tyr good for squat?

[@sonsofsever]

@@leonardocozza3140 fantastic for it and all other compound strength moves

[@an.20.24]

Would you recommend this for someone with very wide feet? Thank you.

[@sonsofsever]

@@an.20.24 it's tough to say. Have you tried any other barefoot shoes we can reference? Very wide is just subjective, so it's tough to say if these would work for you. Honestly I find these on the more narrow side of the barefoot shoe spectrum, but the knitted upper does compensate a bit because its elasticity makes it so that your toes don't feel squished.

[@an.20.24]

@@sonsofsever Yes. I've tried the xero prio (which I like very much) and the altra escalante. The altra isn't really a barefoot shoe, but more like a shoe with a minimalist approach. Both great choises.

[@sonsofsever]

@@an.20.24 if your feet were ok in the Prio then these would probably work!

[@an.20.24]

@@sonsofsever You mean the xero and the tyr are more or less the same width? Also, what about the outsole. One thing I don't like much about the xero is they're probably a little too soft on the outsole. Are the tyr more robust?

[@sonsofsever]

@@an.20.24 I personally think the Tyr is a bit wider. As far as how the sole fares, it really is made mainly for lifting. So the grip is really really good, but the tread pattern will wear quick if try to do something like run consistently in them.

[@Laotzu.Goldbug]

How would you say the fit compares to the Vivo PLIII in the midfoot area. Is it wider there, or just in the toe? (I have only tried the Vivo knit model so I don't know if that's similar to the regular Primus Light)

[@sonsofsever]

@@Laotzu.Goldbug it’s more forgiving in every aspect. Super comfortable.

[@YouGotServed835]

No, ALL shoes should definitely NOT be like this, however a MUCH larger percentage of them should be.

[@sonsofsever]

@@YouGotServed835 subjective 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@YouGotServed835]

@sonsofsever JOB SITES, mountain climbing, cycling, water.... could keep going on & on. As a fellow advocate for the traits & benefits of these shoes, maybe it's best not to make broad statements about barefoot shoes that end up being used as ammo against us. Or just lawsuits, hmm hmm Vibram.

@@YouGotServed835 …. I’m confused but ok 😂
