    Hey! I just want to thank you! I bought these per your recommendation. They were cheaper than some other golf shoes but crazy comfortable and I think adorable. You were right! The tread is perfect for the golf course. The support of the shoe on up to the ankle is fantastic. Thank you!

    This seems crazy expensive for a manual treadmill especially since shipping isn't included in the price. It is also bulky as heck -- though the bottom folds up (I think) there's no where to put this thing except in the middle of the floor. I'd like one, but will wait until version 2.0 where it will no doubt be either cheaper, or have a few portability features...

    Thanks for the review! Similar to you and others, I’m trying to transition to barefoot but the truly minimal barefoot like vivos just kill me on concrete and I definitely wouldn’t run on a hard surface with them. I’ve run or done city walks in Altras which have felt great… but they just look so clunky and dorky as most running shoes do. My only question was if the whites would stay white/ stains would come out in the wash. Flux claims that they do and yours look nice so I’ll give them a shot!

    • @mateofrancodc
      @mateofrancodc Місяць тому

      Thanks for this comment. 100% with barefoot on concrete or hard flat surfaces. It depends which whites you get the adapt high tops clean the best all others technically they do clean up pretty well depending on your confidence in cleaning shoes. If you're like me I'm really hard on anything white so I'll have some marks & things that won't 100% clean out, but they definitely look way better after a clean. Hopefully that is helpful & you'll have to let me know what your experience is when your 1st pair of Flux footwear shoes come in :) - Mateo

    Hi. From South Africa.. I have an extra lumbar vertebrae, and my c-spine curve in the wrong direction and an unstable si joint. I also have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, dysautonomia, mcas and some other problems. I make use of a wheelchair, because I can't walk. Everything is wobbly. We can't really figure out the exact reason why I can't walk, and why all my joints seems excessively floppy. I used to be a professional ballroom and latin dancer, now I can't walk 2 steps..

      Hi 👋🏼 Michelle, thanks 🙏 for your comment & sharing your story 🙂 That’s a lot to be experiencing & I’m sorry to hear that all of this is keeping you from you passion as a dancer 💃. I have seen patients with the symptoms & dysfunctions that you have listed above. If there’s a chiropractor close to you who can take X-rays 🩻 & who can confidently deliver specific adjustments to your spine, that would be my recommendation. The body is intelligent & designed to adapt. It sounds like there could be a lot upper cervical nerve interference. The C1/Atlas is a very commonly misaligned bone that can put stress directly on your brain 🧠 stem (approximately 72 Trillion) nerve fibers. Very common in dysautonomia, MCAS, & Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Regardless every human functions better & has a better quality of life when there is less stress on their nervous system. I hope this helps - Mateo

    • @mateofrancodc
      @mateofrancodc Місяць тому

      Great question & comparison. Feelgrounds were actually one of the last pairs of shoes I purchased before discovering flux. That's a perfect comparison. The trainers feel almost identical to me from a "width" stand point as the feelgrounds. I did have to do a full size up in the trainers for me. If you are outside a lot and tougher on your shoes I'd take a look at the "Adapt Trail Runner Shoe" these fit true to size for me. I wear these running, walking, hiking, golfing basically everywhere. I wear them the most outside of the adapt trainers for casual wear. - Mateo

Definitely not a normal thing to have at 20.

They have joint & body region specific exercises & programs. Including the mid back, neck, shoulders & arms. Specific chiropractic & the ATG helped my low back regenerate & heal much faster, I still utilize their programs nearly every day.

    These could almost be perfect for disc golf too but seeing other reviews on their other shoes the knit upper doesn’t have any huarache straps or tpu over lay so it doesn’t stabilize the midfoot enough so durability could be a big issue there but also the sole needs to be designed for cement/concrete rather than trails. I’ve tried some zero drop trail shoes for disc golf but the sole wears down so fast because we throw off of concrete teepads and the rotation from backhands really wears down the sole too quick.

    I only wear zero drop footwear with foot shaped toe boxes. Do they have an arch? Hoping they don’t. Also curious about how long their soles will last in real hiking conditions.

      Thanks for your comment! I'm the same (w/ the zero drop & wide/foot-shaped toe boxes). The adapt trainers (low top & high top have more narrow toe boxes, even though they are wider than regular brands) All the adapt RUNNERS have a TRUE WIDE TOE BOX. They DO NOT have an ARCH :) purely a zero drop on the inside too. As far as the hiking, I live in Kentucky. So lots of the trails I do are mainly mud/dirt (not rock/sand) & my trail runners have held up great & still look brand new. I wear them golfing to the gym & basically every wear unless I'm dressing more casually. Hopefully, that was helpful! What shoes are you specifically looking to purchase? - Mateo

    I got the adapt runners and love them. Are the adapt trail runners waterproof? I would get those if that was the case. Or just wait til they make a waterproof version.

      @mateofrancodc 3 місяці тому

      I'm so happy to hear you are loving the runners:) I can't confirm that they are waterproof. My experience in them walking through puddles & a creek, is I haven't had any issues. Even wearing them in the rain. So, I would say they are very water resistant. Also, I have heard a lot of feedback that people are just using this spray ( a.co/d/eVP52qy ) to waterproof all of their shoes :) I can definitely say for me the trail runners are my favorite all-around shoe of the Flux Footwear lineup :) Hopefully, this is helpful - Mateo

    • @mateofrancodc
      @mateofrancodc 3 місяці тому

      Not that I'm aware of. Local gyms could potentially have sleds that you could pull backwards or treadmills that you can control the resistance on. That's what I used as an alternative until I purchased the backwards treadmill - Mateo

      @mateofrancodc 3 місяці тому

      Thank you for this :) I have heard of them & they look like the most legit healthy golf shoes I have seen before this video. My concern with them is that it's not a true wide-toe box. If you have worn them I'd love to know your thoughts. If not, it may just give me another reason to buy another pair of shoes to do a video on :) - Mateo

      My apologies for just now getting back to you & you sure can! The purpose of this treadmill is to replace weighted sledding specifically backward! I have also used it forward too & it feels a lot like pushing a sled just with an incline 🙂!

    Have you tried running in them yet? I know the Runners are made for running but I'm trying to get something Hybrid where I can lift and run in them even in something like trails. Also, it's nice that they look good enough for casual wear.

      You definitely can use them for all that you have mentioned. I mainly use them for lifting & casual wear. I have ran a lot in the high tops & had no problems. They will have a trail runner coming out I believe in Q1 of 2024 :) I'm super stoked for that one. These are definitely my favorite all around shoes by flux :) - Mateo

The high tops & runners wash & clean up really well.

    What does yours sound like during use? Mine makes a groaning type noise when backwards walking. Edit: I had to loosen the front belt adjustment screws and the groaning went away. Seems like the default adjustment had too much tension and strain on the wheels.

    • @mateofrancodc
      @mateofrancodc 7 місяців тому

      It definitely sounds different than a regular treadmill. Thanks for the edit. Yes I made sure to add adequate oil & then I played with the front 2 screws. We are definitely the pioneers of this lol it's hard to know what to expect out of the box & 1st use. Thanks for your feed back I know it will help other users as well - Mateo
