@randomized they look comfortable. Do they have some cushioning or none at all?

Gritting my teeth and deciding to take the plunge… time to get new running shoes.

<p>Good running shoes will always be a good investment if you are dedicated to a running plan and getting healthier&#8230; especially if your current shoes make you nearly bust your butt on the floor because you have no traction. (sigh)</p>

@itwars @BarefootMicha @robchapman of our minimalist / barefoot shoes?

These are the ones I use for walking. The first model is for transitioning, there's a bit of cushioning.
The second one is for trail running/walking.

I'm exclusively wearing barefoot shoes for about 1.5 years now. I really like them and I don't think I want to wear regular shoes anymore.

(funny enough, the regular shoes I wore before had actually less weight than my barefoot shoes. 😁)

They cause absolutely no problem to me, I like feeling different surfaces, and it's the closest I can get to walking barefoot.

Barefoot is still more fun, though. 😁

I still need to buy barefoot hiking shoes at some point, but sadly they're a bit expensive, so, maybe at some later point.

@nowster @ubo
Thank you for the tips!
The Vibram 5 fingers look absolutely fabulous! I really love my 5 finger socks, but when it comes to shoes my toes morphology is a bit peculiar. My second and third toes are longer than my big toe. Over time with regular shoes they both became crooked, but the #minimalistShoes are freeing them again and I am starting to feel the lack of space already with 5F socks, even though they stretch a bit. I believe 5F #barefootShoes will be even shorter for toes.

@ubo thanks!

It was really the adaptation required by walking in #minimalistShoes. I had to switch to a forefoot stride both when walking and running. The impact on the knee joint is significantly different and that implies an adaptation period.

For now I will keep #running in regular shoes, but starting from June I will start wearing my #barefootShoes 1x/week.

Half marathon training
Week 18, run 2/3

Today just a light sporadic discomfort on both knees and my right calf wasn't tight at all.
I am more relaxed now and I believe to have overcome the most difficult phase in transitioning to forefoot strike.

For the past 3 weeks outside walking has been with #minimalistShoes only. I can already notice improved toes mobility (the main point), but I will talk about the #Xero shoes later in a dedicated thread.

@deviantollam A guy at our building was recommending Jim Green barefoot boots to me the other day, after noting my #minimalistshoes. These aren't bespoke, but you can do a custom order and spec things out in fair detail, without getting into bespoke prices. Looks like around $300.

In recent years, minimalism has gained popularity in many areas of life, from tiny houses to capsule wardrobes. This trend has extended to footwear with the rise of barefoot shoes, also known as minimalist shoes.

It's amazing how shoe companies market padding plus arch and ankle support as good for you. Only a few percent of people have feet that might need it.

For everyone else they cause you to walk in an unnatural way increasing impact on your body, weaken your arch and ankles, and increase likelihood of a twisted ankle.

But at least they got the wide toe-box right. And they actually know about minimalist shoe design since they sell one.

Why you shouldn't wear "comfortable" shoes...

Fellow fans of barefoot and minimalist footwear, you might be pleased to know there are now barefoot soccer cleats!

Who has tried out minimalist, or barefoot shoes? I bought a pair on the cheaper end of the spectrum just to see how they were, and so far I’m enjoying them!

I just took about a mile walk in them, the furthest ive walked in them, and to my surprise my feet don’t feel any more worn out than if I’d done it wearing my usual sneakers (which are padded running shoes).

We’ll see how the muscles of my legs feel later. ;)

I never thought I'd watch a one hour interview with a shoe company CEO but here it is Steven Sashen, CEO of husband and wife barefoot shoe company Xero Shoes talking with Chase Mountains who created the YouTube video "How the barefoot shoe industry lies to you".

Full disclosure: I've worn #barefootshoes for 8 years starting with Xero's product. I liked them so much I made a small investment when they held a customer investment round.

Anya just made a big list of Best Barefoot Shoes, and it's a fun read if you dig that kind of thing. Her reviews come from a lot of testing, which I appreciate. My personal favorites are Wildlings and Lems. Wildlings are almost unbelievably light and much more durable than they seem like they should be. Lems are comfortable and great for the cold and wet winters where I live.

@NoThanks Yes, a couple years ago I bought some #minimalistshoes and love them. Ended up getting several different pairs and that's all I like to wear now. Their light weight and being able to feel the surface you're walking on is a revelation.

Which ones do you like?

I think the Xero Prio is a great all-round shoe, and excellent for #longboarding too.

Ok, so I may have went #MinimalistShoes / #BarefootShoes crazy on Cyber Monday. 🫠
