    Thank you for video! I’ve tried dozens of ‘barefoot style’ too and just recently sold a bunch of my Vivo’s on EBay because I just didn’t care for them anymore. They were ok on a dog walk but terrible in the back country on rough terrain. If you want sturdy waterproof barefoot style, Lems’ are THE BEST. Flexible, supportive, super wide toe box, weatherproof, good grip on slippery rocks and a thicker sole so your feet stays warm in more extreme temps. Xero’s are good I agree but just not waterproof enough for Pacific Northwest. Lems for me.😊

      I really like the look of the MagicalShoes24 winter boots but grip not great. The Vivobarefoot ESC sole are excellent tho, loads of grip

    the bare barics do look like A1's from certain angles. I 2nd someone's comment on feel grounds. Got their slip-ons and they feel good.

    Thanks for the video! It would be awesome if there was a video showing you model the shoes and going over the sizing

    Hehe, it's all fashion & matter of taste. Barebarics is a subbrand from BeLenka, also lots of nice looking options (BTW same sole as Barebarics).
    Yet, Xero feels the best so far.

      Which Xero shoes do you have Chris?

    • @christislord137

      @Tims_Gym I have a pair of HFS which I really love and a pair of DayLite hikers which are ok overall, but style wise and materials I am not as into. I like Xero though and I know you said you don't really like Vivo like that, but I'm gonna grab a pair of them as well, I like the way they look and am hopeful they feel nice to me. It's cool there is such variety now. Ben Patrick from ATG released a barefoot basketball shoe I am interested in myself.

    I prefer shoes that look a little more classy. I find most barefoot shoes look too sporty and casual. I've bought mainly from Vivo, but my most recent ones are Belenka's Synergy. Those are not a sneaker style shoe though.

  • @GregVining

    Wearing HFS II's now. Super comfy. Those whites are my casual shoe. But I think the 1s were better.

    Carets makes a gorgeous dress shoe style “barefoot” shoe that I wore for my wedding. If you need to wear a suit that’s my first choice.

    I've not thought that minimalists footwear looks unattractive. I like the wide toe area look for example and like/d how pairs I have/have had look/looked. Strange thing is sometimes looking at typical shoes with that narrow toe area that looks uncomfortable, strange and unnatural to me. I came across minimalist shoes years ago through your videos and they are the only shoes I've worn the past years. Started with and stayed with Freet before switching to Xero last year. A season for waterproof shoes and Freet Mudee from years ago just letting water in and glue isn't doing the job with them anymore, so I saw Freet had a sale on with 40% off Tundra waterproof boots so those arrived a few days ago. Although other Freet shoes "holed" sooner than woulda thought - even if after a lot of wear sometimes, or sometimes glued badly from the start, (they gave partial refund a couole of times+recommended glueing, and another time a new pair sent) giving the Tundra one a go. The year old Xero ones going well in every way. Ha, that deer/animal mention was a funny insight.

    It's fairly subjective no? I don't like the style of those tbh. I've been through a couple of pairs of Freet "Pace" barefoot style shoes and I think they look pretty awesome, plus super comfortable. They breathe so well in summer. The upper is made from recycled coffee grounds and somehow it is fairly durable, the inner lining does deteriorate quickly though. It's a UK based company.

    • @Tims_Gym
      @Tims_Gym  16 днів тому

      Defo subjective. I have had a lot of Freet tho about 6 years ago. I like them as a company but don’t think the shoes look good

    Is the sole of this shoe thicker? Because I need a wide toe box, but really can't handle the thin soles of barefoot shoes.

    • @Tims_Gym
      @Tims_Gym  16 днів тому +1

      Yes it is defo a little thicker than normal ‘barefoot’ shoes.
