WateLves ULTRA AFFORDABLE Barefoot Shoes

[@WateLves_official]

Thank you for your fair review. Your valuable feedback is helpful for us to improve our shoes. And btw, we actually have sold water shoes called "aqua/water socks" in our Amazon store:) But still appreciate your reminder😁

Just because you can see the glue, doesn't mean they will delaminate. I could see the glue on every pair of Vans that I have owned and never had delam problems.

Good video Chris. Those barefooted 👣 shoes look nice too. The price is very good too. I hope you have a good weekend buddy.

Another "water shoe" that I used to ease into barefoot shoes is the Loyak from Astral Designs. I've been abusing those shoes for years and they are still holding strong.

Good chance we'll get to try some of those soon!

Hey guys, just wondering how the Lems outlanders have been treating you. I tried a pair of the boulder summits today, and they felt quite nice compared to my old timberland boots, noticably more spacious and natural feeling. Based on your reviews, I'm leaning towards the outlanders for my generalist boot even though the summits have more of a classy look to them. They didn't have my size in the outlanders and are on backorder, but I'm just wondering how spacious the toe box is compared to the boulder summit. I don't know if this is just a me problem, but most of the barefoot shoes I've tried in my size (13) have been too tight in the midfoot, and subsequently, tightening the front and back ends of my feet. I've had to take the insole out, which makes it feel like the shoe should. Also, do you think the lems primal 2 hold up well over time? They felt quite comfortable too and were wide and low to the ground, just worried about longevity. Maybe it's just an inevitability that thinner shoes wear out faster. Currently trying to decide between the primal 2s and xero prio neos

[@sonsofsever]

So! The Outlander definitely feels less spacious than the Summit initially, but we found after a bit it breaks in pretty well and feels better over time, but probably never as voluminous as the Summit, cause that one breaks in too. As for your mid foot issue, has it just been with Lems? They tend to have thicker insoles, like 4.5mm sometimes, so replacing them with thinner ones might be worth looking into. Some brands definitely have tighter mid soles than others. Now with the Primal 2, we'd probably suggest looking into the Primal 3 now that that's out. The problem with those outsoles and the durability is the injection blown rubber Lems uses. It's super lightweight and flexible but it wears rather quickly. Pretty sure the Primal 3 outsole has been updated a bit to be more durable however. Our review on those will be coming soon, we're putting em through the ringer now and really like them! The volume on the Primal 3 seems better than most other Lems shoes.

Sounds like you need the widest model possible. You know the answer!

[@Laotzu.Goldbug]

How would you compard these to Whitin in terms of fit and feel? Are they a wider sole?

[@sonsofsever]

Never tried Whitin, sorry! Maybe in the future though

[@todallard8791]

Saw comments on Amazon that they are not wide and I need a wide shoe even at 25 I don't like to buy a shoe that I can't wear.

[@indyinmink]

Thank you for the introduction! Are these true to size?

[@sonsofsever]

They were for me

[@HuginKvalsvik]

[@johnbuban3618]

Can you marathon on the blue ones?

[@sonsofsever]

You could marathon in any shoe, but I sure as heck wouldn’t. They’re suuuuper thin

[@johnbuban3618]

​​@@sonsofsever thanks. I was planning on buying. Well what do you recommend barefoot shoes for Marathon? TIA

[@sonsofsever]

@@johnbuban3618 the Bahe Revive would be my go to choice for a barefoot marathon shoe. Pricey, but I think it would be worth it. We have a review video and a link to that product in the description for that video.

[@johnbuban3618]

@@sonsofsever ok thanks a lot. I'll be watching that too. Keep up the good work.

[@CraigWrightStraygoat]

Are these shoes. Is off the market? I looked on their website but could only see watershoe-style shoes even in the barefoot section.

[@sonsofsever]

@@CraigWrightStraygoat as explained in the video, they call all of their shoes water shoes even though they aren’t. Not sure why

[@CraigWrightStraygoat]

@@sonsofsever but they do have a separate section on their site for barefoot shoes🤷🏼‍♂️

[@sonsofsever]

@@CraigWrightStraygoat budget brands are weird

[@moredatesmorefiber3526]

you better update your youtube video that it has paid sponosors or ill report you.

[@sonsofsever]

Paid sponsors would be news to us! Let us know how to get on that gravy train. Are you talking about our affiliate links by chance?? Cause paid sponsors and affiliate links are two different things.
