      Vivobarefoot discontinues all of people's favorite models. And now they're pushing the gay agenda making men's more feminine and women's more masculine (on the kids models too). Only only model left is Brough and it's discontinued and had issues from the get-go. And the vivos are basically the only ones in your huge review with wide enough toe box and it's a primary aspect of minimal shoes.

      Would you ever do a review on ZAQQ shoes or Wildling shoes? ZAQQ has an amazing selection and some of the most professional buisness type shoes I have seen on the market, along with tons of other types of shoes. And the Wildling shoes was a company first designed for kids shoes, and now they do adult shoes as well and they are some of the most stylish barefoot shoes I have seen. I am not connected to either of these companies, they were just two companies O took notice 9f in my search or barefoot shoes.
      Also some barefoot shoe companies have printable sizing guides that might be helpful for finding your fit.

    I’ve been wearing Vivo’s Tracker FG boot everyday for work for about 2 years. Incredibly soft now and comfortable. Still waterproof as they were on day 1. Great boot for harsher conditions; mud, water, etc. Barefoot shoes have helped my running, knee pain, back pain, etc....and Dr. Bronners also! Seems like it all comes with the territory once you find what improves the mind and body!

    Thanks so much for the video. I've been using Vivobarefoots even when they were called Terra Plana. And I backed Lems and Bedrock Sandals when they were just starting out. I'm really happy they've stayed in business and have grown! I agree the Lems Boots are amazing and with the waterproof version, I can finally wear something for the New England winters! As for the sandals, I've lived in Luna Sandals even back when Barefoot Ted made the first batch. I've run half marathons in them and even used to run on some melting snow when the weather would start warming up. But they are not cheap and I started looking into the Shamas last year. Looks like I'll have to try them! Now if some of your subscribers are wondering what to wear over their barefoot shoes during the winter and they don't want to wear the Lems ones, the one to look into would be the NEOS Villager Overshoes. They're pretty dorky, but when you have to deal with snow and/or rain and you've got just barefoot shoes, they can't be beat since you are still wearing your barefoot shoes and then the NEOS are nothing more than waterproof coverings.

    To add to what you said at the end, I don’t know why, but I recently just started liking sandles. I have the pair of sandles from Xero shoes with the lizards on them and people always say I have the Jesus sandles. I’m not religious, but I take it as a compliment because I’m on a spiritual journey like he was.
    Yesterday, my first line leader at my Army Reserves unit heard my foot pop, looked down at my feet, then looked back at me like I deserved to be laughed at, but I enjoy feeling comfortable. Comfort is confidence. I’d pick sandles over work boots or Jordans any day.

    I’ll admit I do miss my beloved and trusty Adidas Superstars. But the benefits for me of having switched to barefoot shoes far outweigh looking good with brand image. 😎 I just can’t go back to a regular shoe anymore.

    Great video! I'm lucky to have a Vivo store in London so I get to try them on before I buy - no return wastage. You covered every category but the dress shoe. Sadly I do have to suite up on occasion and needed a proper dress show and Vivo got the job done there at price with their hand made leather dress shoes. The original pair had a leather sole which I had replaced. I think they have upgraded that to a more durable material.

  • @Erik_withuk
    @Erik_withuk 4 роки тому

    If you are someone who hikes or does anything similar outdoors and is looking for a great waterproof boot, I highly recommend the Xcursion from XeroShoes. I've only been on one hike with them, but they're my favorite boot that I've ever worn. They still have a ground feel, but they have a bit of a thicker sole like you would want in a hiking boot. Also, they fit me very well; my toes have room to splay, but they don't feel too loose. And the waterproofing is exceptional. When I took them out hiking, it was a cloudy day and sprinkling. I dipped the front of my boot in a stream to test how waterproof they are and no water soaked through.

I love the way they look, and to me they feel fantastic because of all the room up in the front.

    Hey Chase, thank you for this, I do have a neuroma as well and the pain is gone now, apparently due to the fact that I do not wear shoes at home during quarentine. So it made me think that I should move to barefoot maybe, despite the fact that I wear suits quite often and I will need something more formal, I like the simplistic look of the feelgrounds, so what do you mean when you say they are not suited for everyday use, is it only that they are really breathable or there is some comfort issue as well ? Thank man

    • @RJBurr
      @RJBurr 4 роки тому

      I feel what he means regarding the Feelgrounds. They work really well as a casual summer shoe - the mesh gives that look as well. Also, not made for repelling the elements. You could technically wear them all day but they don't transition well from the office, bike ride, then dinner and a night out on the town. whereas the Vivo Ra II oxfords can transition to just about any daily situation. However, it really depends on what your "everyday" looks like.

    Ayyy and the sandals show up too! Luna Leadville Pacers for me. And yeah they're a conversation magnet for absolute sure.. I just want my feet to feel great, leave me alonee!

    I'm pretty flat footed already, I wear converse a lot which are super flat....and I love the wide toe box I can see in all these shoes, something converse is the opposite, very narrow toe box so I always size up. I definitely used to buy shoes that were too small for me when I was younger and now if I can buy shoes in wide I do. These all look good, might give barefoot shoes a try.

So doing the research and on the look out for some barefoot alternatives that don't totally dumb! I've started with a pair of Vivo's. I love that most of these company's seem to have a great ethical stance too! Have you come across Groundies? I'd like to see some reviews for some of their shoes as they look interesting!

    I have fat pad atrophy due to years of severe morbid obesity that I am now slowly learning to deal with as I loose weight. I cannot even wear “normal” or traditional sneakers and shoes anymore due to ongoing issues with my left ankle and have found that the few brands that will “fit” have so much padding that I feel off balance and uncomfortable (after going barefoot for so many years out of sheer necessity and inability to wear shoes). They also fit super tight and pinch my toes, ever at larger sizes. I found barefoot shoes (thanks to your channel and a few others). They were the game changer for me and have allowed me to make massive progress in my weight loss journey. So, if you were (or are) super obese like I was and you find that normal sneakers and shoes come up too high on your ankles with swelling, pinch your toes and feet too much, and make you feel off balance give barefoot shoes a try!

    OH man Oh Man... you've got to try the Vivo Primus Knits (they run a 1/2 size large). I wear them at least once a day. In Winter I wear the Vivo Gobi Canvas and Vivo Scott boots... but I'll tell you what... I just received the Addis in black, and I absolutely love them. I have a neuroma as well. They suck... sorry to hear you deal with it too. Since we purchased the Primus Trail for my 5 year old, he won't take them off either. He loves them. Overall man, I'm a huge Vivo fanboy. I have some Lems, but they all look so darn frumpy... though comfy as heck. I'm checking Vivo daily for new releases for my family. They are spendy (I think), but they show little signs of wear despite wearing the heck out of them. Welcome back to Oregon!

    I don't think that Fei Yue is a barefoot shoe. But also FYI there are two types of Fei Yue shoes that are completely different companies; the original Chinese brand and made Fei Yue and the European redesign Fei Yue.
    The original Chinese Fei Yue are used and worn by Shaolin Monks and martial artists all over the world. The Fei Yue as featured in this video that are a European narrow foot redesign. The European Fei Yue have actually screwed the original Chinese Fei Yue company, they managed to get exclusive rights to legally market sell their European Fei Yue all over the world, boxing in the originals Fei Yue to only be legally marketed sold in China, only to be exported in much smaller quantities by individuals.

      I've bought three pairs of Feiyue's from random ebay/amazon sellers. First pair was a very flexible, moderately thin sole. Next two pairs had super thick squishy soles, very weird. All had wonderfully grippy soles. All of the soles wore completely through in two or three months of daily casual wear and moderate trail running. Not high milage either. It is just real soft rubber, to be grippy, but it wears quick. I'd still buy them (they are cheap, $20-$25) if I knew I was getting the thin soled version.

      Brian Gianforcaro - I think the Prio (and Daylite Hiker since they’re pretty much the same) are extremely inoffensive. They actually look more normal than Lems even haha. Also, I found that the Prio feels more sturdy than Lems Primal2.
      I still wear Primals for running though.
