How did this age are you still wearing them
I tried barefoot shoes before but they didn’t stick until I had a bad knee injury this summer. I started wearing barefoot shoes to strengthen my feet to support my knee and now I’m hooked. I live near the sea so I like to walk along the rocky shoreline in my barefoot shoes. It helps to stretch and massage the feet and obviously provides a lot of stimulus. I’ve always liked walking on rocks, I find it to be very meditative, even more so in barefoot shoes.
Running on rocks. Great thing, mate. Pute nostalgia.
i get hurt and sometimes cut when i walk in rocks for just a bit lel
yea just be careful running on rocks, can be danger
I have been walking and running barefoot (actually barefoot with no shoes) whenever possible for more than 50 years (since I was a young child). I didn't know I was a pioneer, I just thought I didn't like wearing shoes. I even ran barefoot in the military when we did our annual physical fitness test. It was the only time I could get away with being barefoot while on duty. : - )
Me too. I don't do long distance running but short distance. I used to use the old ver nike barefoot cuz it was flexible amd doesnt give me blisters. But even then when I do a friendly competition with friends, I take of my shoes and run since I am faster doing so. Just got a barefoot shoes and tried it out. It was amazing it doesn't hurt me as much as when I use regular shoes. Althought I have bunion and flat feet, I am more often barefoot than wearing shoes that why I don't think I need to transition.
For me, after wearing regular shoes for the whole day, it hurts to go barefoot. It doesnt do that with the barefoot shoes.
any back, knee, etc, joint pain?
@hammypie Never.
Great video. I started this back during my powerlifting days in the early 2000s. Having a large toe box is the determining factor for all my shoe purchases.
yes!! so helpful to make sure have this stuff down
Do you know any brand/model that have large toe box but it's not barefoot shoes?
I have spent a lot of time on flipflops or barefoot cause of pandemics and lockdown and almost all of my shoes hurt me now.
My feet have adapted to me walking a lot around barefooted or in flipflops and now only two of my shoe, actually one of them is a Boot, fits me comfortably without hurt my feet like hell.
Barefoot shoes kinda don't exist here where I live, and they're really expensive to import unfortunately.
@@nox_cadit I don’t know of any athletic shoes that have a wide toe box other than barefoot shoes unfortunately. For boots tho, it is a basic style that many brands make their own version of called the “Munson” which was a shape developed by a doctor during the war to accommodate the average healthy foot shape. It has an anatomical design with a wide toe and more narrow heel. Pretty easy to find boots like that
@@orlog3343 thanks! I can't even find the barefoot shoes here where I live and to import them I get taxed to the infinity and beyond T.T
But i do need boots for work though, this info will be of great help!
I've always had issues with regular shoes, but barefoot shoes are actually pretty great. My only complaint with the vivobarefoot shoes is that lack of durability. I might just be really rough with my shoes, but I wore through the soles in about 5 months. Otherwise great shoe
I've not tried Vivo, but I run into the same issue with Xero and Lems shoes. I walk miles a day, and after about four or five months I have to get a new pair due to wearing out the tread on the soles. The shoes themselves hold up, it's just the soles. For me it's mostly due to concrete and hard surface walking. For the barefoot shoes I wear to work, they'll last a year or more, but there I'm on carpeting most of the day.
@@PawOfRizzodidn’t the xero shoe promise free sole replacement for the first 24 months now?
Have you tried Skinners or Leguano?
I didn’t realize you wore Vivobarefoot shoes. Ive been wearing them for over a year and my feet, knees, and back feel so much better. They’re great but they do take a while to get used to
This is the truth! I delight in seeing this message broadcasted. Thank you for making this video, more people need to know the damage modern footwear causes. I speak passionately about this because my life was changed as well. I wanted to be a runner but I would experience such pain that I gave up. It took a heartbreak and an Amazon ad for the five finger vibrams and I dove right in. The pain of developing the muscles in my foot and lower leg was psychologically transformative. I’m forever grateful for that heartbreak and that Amazon ad.
More and more small shoe shops are creating barefoot shoes that are more fashionable as well as functional which is nice. I wore Vibram five finger shoes when they were some of the only barefoot shoes on the market 13ish years ago and I definitely looked weird back then, but I didn't care about that. They really help separate your toes when they're so used to being smashed together. I also go barefoot as much as I can, even in my office when I walk around, so it's helped as I slowly transition to doing it more full time and slowly replacing all my shoes. I don't have as much of a transition to get used to them but I am working more on my toes spread.
Just bought my first pair! So helpful! So exciting
let me know how your first few days of wearing them go!
I'm so pleased I watched this, I've just bought a pair of barefoot shoes and I'm coming to NYC in 2 weeks and I was going to wear them to walk around the city. After watching this, that could have been a huge mistake!! I'll keep the barefoot shoes and get used to them but I think I'll stick with my worn in trainers for my trip to the big apple!!
Great video and the same reasons why I bought my first vivobarefoots 3 months ago - I love them!!
I have some- but they aren't really flexible. Did you have to do anything to get them fliexible?
It’s awesome how they can work after you’ve been wearing them for a while. It does take a while to get all your muscles used to them.
Calves were hurting me for a while and it’s now my shin muscles, been wearing barefoot for 10 months and have ran three Ultramarathons in them and done a 55 mile hike as well and I am definitely pleased with the way things are going.
I’ve also got Vivos for work and casual wear as well so I’m in either barefoot shoes, just socks, or totally barefoot, at all times now.
Do you wear them while running on roads as well? Or just on trails/ off-road?
Just recently started watching your videos after stumbling across them and I've enjoyed everything about your videos and how much insight into the products you give! Subscribed!!!!
wow thank you so much!! what video do you want to see next??
switched my entire footwear closet to Vivobarefoot 3 years ago. From summer, dress to winter boots. Life changing.
Great post thanks for sharing your experience as I think everyone should be made more aware of the benefits. I've been in barefoot shoes for over 2 years now. The initial transition was painful and slow, the feet take time to adapt. But now my feet are stronger, have grown up a size and a half, and feel great. Bonus is I've noticed elimination of knee pain, back pain and even toe pain which I was told was due to degenerative joints. A few things helped me, barefoot strong book, the barefoot hiker book, walking barefoot 15 minutes a day in my backyard on gravel, wood chips, etc., and hip/knee/ankle/foot mobility exercises & stretches from The Foot Collective. I've been so inspired by all I've learned that I'm now training to become a Certified Personal Trainer. So I find it interesting that your trainer is who inspired you. Hopefully I will be that guy for many more and help them free their feet! My favorite brands are Wildling, Be Lenka & Softstar due to the wider toe box. I've also noticed, especially when walking barefoot or barefoot hiking that my gate needed to change and I had to relearn more forefoot or midfoot strike vs heel strike we learn from cushioned shoes.
As a kid, I ran around barefoot all the time. (Well, as an adult - at least inside now - all the time too.) Just bought my first barefoot shoes several months ago and have been slowly getting used to them. I walk in them like I did as a kid. It's so natural. I got them because of increasing pain with knees - less joint pain than soft tissue issues. It makes a difference. I just added toe socks to the mix now that winter is coming. I hope to build back to walking miles and miles again.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I go barefoot as much as possible and have been in barefoot shoes for over a year. I have noticed that my balance is WAY better than just about everyone else I know, but, I also exercise and stuff so I'm not sure which to attribute it to more
I use vibrham five fingers for my barefoot experience. I plan on using the more lifestyle vivobarefoot boots for more acceptable solution to the barefoot style. It took me 3 months in truly barefoot shoes vibrhams men's classic. I got the hiker I been running 5ks in but plan switching to vruns keep these for hiking ones for hiking. Plan on using the lifestyle boots for a more appropriate barefoot style barefoot is awesome. Led me to not wearing my knees braces and back braces as much.
Liked and Subscribed. I've been wearing Vivobarefoot for about 10+ years. I still have most of them. I even purchased some for the kids and wife.
👆🏻
Awesome content🔥keep it up
Thank you Mekawi! It means a lot!
Just recieved barefoot shoes from Amazon. Man are they comfy, most comfy shoes I've ever tried. I have a bunch of knee and back pain, hope this will help out.
Merrell Vapor Glove is a great option. Running on them since 2017
I've worn barefoot shoes for 5 years now. They feel like soft furry slippers, even on concrete. I resonate perfectly with you. We are cavemen, we are now walking as we have evolved to walk. My feet are stronger, my arches are so much higher, walking on rough ground in barefoot shoes is a joy. You are in serious peril of becoming very cool, healthy and human. Fuck Nike and saucony. This is one cool video
I have been loving xero shoes. But it’s great to hear Personal experience with barefoot shoes.
Camper makes some really nice barefoot options if you want a bit more style. Peu high tops look good and are my go-to.
Great video, bro! I really want these now.
Thank you Nate! Def worth trying, I’ve really enjoyed switching to barefoot
I'm glad barefoot shoes are becoming popular. I absolutely hate shoes and I have forever. There are some new barefoot shoes I think you should take a look at if you are interested. They are kind of a hybrid between shoes and socks. One kind are called Skinners 2.0, or a cheaper version would be called Whitin Shoe socks. I love them because they feel like you are wearing socks, but you can still go into places like normal cause you are technically wearing shoes.
I've been walking around bare foot for a long time. I live out in the boonies so there isn't much if anything that is "comfortable" to walk on. Mostly grass and dirt/rocks. The natural feel is just nicer once you get used to it
I found that vivos paired with Vionic insert and Swiftwick flite xt socks are the perfect combo.
Bro you literally predict my mind on what videos I want!!!! Awesome work
Let’s gooooo! Wait until next video 😂
I've been wearing Vivos for a while, I live in Scotland where it's often cold and wet and the Tracker Forest ESCs have become my go-to shoes. They're warm, comfortable, the soles have amazing grip on pretty much all surfaces an they *almost* look like normal leather hiking boots. I've even worn them hiking in the summer in France in a rocky national park in 30C/85F heat and whilst my feet ended up sweaty they were also well protected and nice and grippy on some sharp and slippery terrain. I will probably expand my collection in future though and pick up some Magna Trail Lite SG for summer use.
My first barefoot run was just under 4km. I was very sore but since then I’ve ramped up km quickly. I have xero prios.
I just got the same a week ago and I am only 2 months into running as well! Right now its my posterior tibial tentons that are taking a beating! Just hoping it's a phase 😅
@@statebankofindia mine was actually longer. Usuay id get pain in the knees but with these. .. it just didnt happen.
I just got my Xero HFS’s and my first time ever using barefoot shoes. Did my first run and i automatically started running on the balls of my feet and not heel. Only pain was calve/achilles but am excited to keep going! Never going back to regular shoes
I think this might help me. Strained my ankle ligaments in right ankle 6 months ago. Nothing serious but enough to stop me playing football (soccer to you guys across the pond). I think wearing these will be a good all round workout for my legs.
👆🏻
👌🏻
Just go slow with the transition.
Lol u need to get used to them before u do anything major in them
Bought some Vivo Barefoot. Didn't take any time getting used to walking in them. Maybe a hike would be different, but walking piece of cake.
This was so informative it made me more hesitant to get these shoes, I work in manufacturing so I gotta protect my feet from stepping on sharp stuff, kicking heavy metal stuff, and walking on crazy hot ground (100-200°) but I also feel like I'm getting a bunion from all the walking I do, so I gotta figure something out
Trying my best to hold in a rant about how much I hate the 40+ hour work week and how we have to build our lives around our jobs and how it's killing us in multiple ways
I started wearing my 1st pair of barefoot shoes about 2 weeks ago.. And, so far so good.. I gave away all of my regular shoes, sssssooo I'm all in.. Merry Christmas to all who read this..
What is your favorite brand?
I've worn barefoot shoes for eight years. My favorite moment was running a half marathon in a pair of xero shoe genesis sandals. A total Karen was next to me and she started telling me that I was not wearing proper foot wear for running. I started to tell her that I have not had any injuries since I made the transition to running in the sandals and she got really upset and started yelling at me that this was totally inappropriate. I just laughed and sped up a bit to get away from her. It still makes me laugh when I think about it.
I got into barefoot shoes a year ago. Because I move a lot and injured my ankle due to lack of flexibility in regular shoes. I've walked everywhere with them for about 2000km now. After my Merrels broke at 1500km I was helpless. Because I bought regular shoes and realised that I can't go back to regular shoes anymore. They went into the trash in a week. I had to search for a long time for new barefoot shoes. Got Vivobarefoot shoes for $180. Best shoes I ever had. Now everywhere I walk or hike I'm always the fastest waiting for everyone else. My friends are constantly amazed and giving me comments like "wow your balance is amazing" & "this looks so easy for you!". I'll never go back to normal shoes again. Barefoot shoes are the king!
I’m seriously considering switching to foot friendly shoes - luckily as a woman I have more options; Tabi shoes are fashionable while preventing bunions (as long as they don’t have a heel) and flip flop sandals come in a variety of styles.
I was interested until I saw the prices on the website. $120-$200 for shoes that make you feel like you are barefoot?
yes they're pricey, but honestly they last MUCH longer than regular shoes. so i think it's absolutely worth it
People spend 150$ on basketball shoes that they don’t wear
@@mrmonkey123 $600*
i just invested in 160euro vivobarefoot shoes. And thats what it is... and investment. Its not about fancy footwear. Its about investment in your health and body! I do agree i would like some cheaper alternatives. If you live in warm areas you could go barefoot or flipflops. I dont have that luxury so gotta have shoes for work and colder days
Xero shoes are barefoot and are less. More around $100. They look a little less aesthetic but same effect.
Ive been wearing barefoot shoes my whole life. I couldnt imagine wearing modern footwear.
Proprioception means the perception of you own position etc., hence the proprio-meaning propper, exteroception is what you described.
Great you tackled the height point
Have you tried Xero shoes? They have styles that are more common looking but maintain the wide toe box and no heel. And the rubber base on the athletic shoes are amazingly sturdy. I have had them for 3 years with no visible wear. Curious as to your opinion if you end of trying this brand.
I usually at my local park I try to keep it nice there for all kids and keep the water fresh for kids to play in the creek.
I teach kids my knowledge and make sure they have fun at the park.
I usually go barefoot in the creek to clean up some debris in there to keep the water flowing and not stagnat and I'll remove some trash as well this water is ice cold but I have a stick know as my staff and I will unclog natural damns and alow on the water to leave out of there.
Idk what else to say.
Watching this definitely changed my perspective and I’ve been focusing more on foot health. #barefootbeasts
Thanks for sharing your experience! 😃
Dude, thanks for this video. I wear a sperry boat shoe as an everyday shoe for this reason. I wear my running shoe only for running
Love it
Hey Shervin, what brand and model glasses are you wearing at 0:56? They look great
Also, I have noticed when transitioning to barefoot shoes, that I needed to be more responsible for and conscious of my foot placement. No more sloppy walking. I learned to be aware of how my feet could be placed on the ground and how my shins, knees, thighs etc were affected by adding in a flow to my walking rather than a slapping action. Awareness was the key to success. I don't wear any other shoes.
I just started my barefoot shoe journey about 3 days ago, and I can definitely feel the lack of muscles around my ankles and within my foot. I used to walk about 13,000 steps a day like it was nothing (in regular running shoes). In barefoots, I get tired after like 5,000. Also I noticed that I'm able to walk completely normally with my toes up in the air. What I mean is, my toes aren't doing any of the work, even though they should be. All the work is being offloaded to the stiff soles of the normal shoes, making my feet and toes weak. I know it's going to be a long process but I wanna see the results.
Any updates? Do you still get tired after 5,000 steps? Do you like them any better now?
I like XERO barefoot shoes. So comfortable, less costly, and a little more stylish
Made in China however but it's still super high quality regardless
@@Anthony-ob5ih what’s wrong with china
@@TheCurtisdavies they lab leak covid
Did your shin muscles get stronger and stop hurting eventually? Or was the lack of arch support making them compensate and over work? Thanks
yes they got stronger & the more I wore them, the easier it got. But sometimes I walk less & my shins get weak again. so consistently walking in barefoot shoes is key. at least for me - i'm not a doctor & your feet are different than mine
Meanwhile in new Zealand people just go barefoot everywhere not barefoot shoes but barefoot, the "no shirt no shoes no service" rule does not exist here and I love it.
well sounds like you have it amazing
how do you deal with hot pavement or broken glass or wettness or steep muddy surface?
@@BeHappyTo for hot pavement just walk quickly or in the shade, wetness isn't an issue unless its cold, and just avoid stepping on broken glass
It’s the same in Australia but it is looked down upon now but I still go barefoot everywhere
I like this and I wanna know more! Can you spin in barefoot shoes? I want to know if I can wear them to dance salsa! How about the arch support...is it good? Are barefoot shoes good for folks who have a middle toe that's longer than the big toe?
Hello thank you for your video. Do the Splay are as much good quality than the vivo?? thank you
All these comments are really interesting and I love the feeling of walking around barefooted. On the flipside, I run alot and wear allsorts of trainers with various rubber compounds, plates etc and have never had an issue, ever. A lot of people's issues are years of wearing wrong shoes, not knowing their gait, if they pronate, suplinate. Poor posture, impact of work, sleep etc.
my left ear really enjoyed this
xero's genesis sandals changed my life. i can't stand wearing shoes but it's unhygienic etc to wander about shoe-free in a city, so i thought i'd try "barefoot shoes". the best i've owned are xero genesis. i can feel the ground underneath me. everything as it should be ☻
my achilles tendons are what i'm working on. i have to manually stretch them. one was always glitchy but also i used to wear heals a lot, so slowly but surely stretching them is necessary
In India we only wear shoes to work or school and for the rest of the time we are either bare foot or wear "slippers" which are much more comfortable, better air circulation and dont cause any problems at all.
4:08. He's so adorable!
awesome video. For people complaining about price here’s a hack: start walking around barefoot more often. It’s a game changer
I wore the vibram five fingers for years and I used to get major looks haha... at least the vivo look more like shoes and less like gloves.
One stupid question. Your change is from the perspective of a runner and his running technic( first touch at the toe instead of the heel). Walking is still the same from the heel right? . The adaption your body has to go through is understandable without the couching. Does the spread of your toes happen naturally or is the "toe spreader" necessary? I need a new pair of shoes and this would be a good time to transit to barefoot shoes. Greeting from Germany.
Did you wear normal socks? Or a specific type of sock for the barefoot shoes?
It’s good seeing someone talk about the height thing that was one of the reasons I didn’t completey switch for a little bit I’m still In school and I just was very self conscious about it with people thinking I’ve got shorter or something like that I’m not a short guy not tall either but a little above average height and it was just not the best feeling being an inch shorter then normal right now I’ve been wearing the bearfoot brand bruin boots those are a little thicker and I wear them to work and everything too so they work good for me then in the gym I wear bearfoot brand ursus
Yea it’s surprising how much taller I feel with my other shoes
Wooo have been excited to see this one
yessss thank you Taylor!!
You 🔥. But I’m literally compelled by this barefoot shoes thing, as a yogi. 🙏🏽
I have adidas ultraboost and my toes arent that messed up and i run alot! I try to get a half size bigger. I have been wanting to try "barefoot" shoes.
How long did the forefoot tread section last , Mon wore out in 6 months 😢
I hate waring barefoot shoes on concrete. It's too hard. I wear them in the mountains, on trails and when I walk on gravel trails, of which we have loads. The feeling of the stones massaging my feet is wonderful.
These cost like top-tier hiking shoes in my area! 600 PLN and more!
I have had a pair of Forest Trackers ESC since September 2023. Now 7 month later I just love them. Used them EVERYDAY…….Carry a lot when I work. 15 kg of TV camera and 10 kg of tripod. Often 5 km of walking in a workday. No problems.
Had some issues with my right knee before. Disappeared - and still the same. Googled a lot before I bought them and didn’t believe everything I read. For me - all the good things were true. The Michelin sole……..I can’t see they’ve been used. Incredible.
I have always used heavy leather boots. They fit perfectly on my feet. BUT - the way they hold my feet forces my knee to do things in a wrong angle.
What I´ve noticed since I started using Forest Trackers ESC is that I have always had a right foot that went inwards. I have tried to struggle that. Now I just accept it. Now It’s more than before - but I just accept that and feel so comfortable. Nobody is perfect :-)
I´ve also been trekking in mountains. Thought I needed heavy boots with a lot of support. No - you just start to walk different. Not slower - just a bit more alert. A very good thing no matter what boots you wear.
Next step will be the JUNGLE ESC. These Forest Trackers ESC actually changed my walking life :-)
Go for it. Just ordered a second pair not to wear the first out.
Lots of regards from a man that doesn’t just buy what other people say is perfect.

PS I use Lundhags Leather Grease very often. NOT Wax. Keep them soft and almost waterproof. Haven’t had wet feet yet - and we have had a lot of rain.
hmm. what If I just take a power sander to the sole of my regular shoes and take the insert out then its basically a barefoot shoe without spending extra money. I might try this!
I removed the outer crepe heel of my Clark’s desert boots (and the low top variant), works great, comfy as hell !
Since i bought i new pair of shoes i feel dizzy walking, when i have my "shoes for the dirt" on tho im fine i guess now i can really blame the shoes
How does sizing work since I only see full size options? I normally wear a size mens 9.5. Thanks 🙏🏽
I also thought this was going to be a problem but it wasn't at all. I wear an 8 1/2 so I got an 8 and a 9. Surprisingly enough the 8’s fit. I think it has to do with the fact that there is no arch support and it is just about the length. My left foot is longer than my right and it was always a problem with where the arch sat on the shoe for my left foot. That is now no longer a problem.
One thing to consider wearing zero drop shoes is how you are supposed to be landing each foot. I have tried walking toes landing first (inside the show ofc) instead of my heal and that really activated my hamstrings. It starting out as a weird motion but in time it I got used it. So, it didn’t look like I was abnormally waking for too long. Nonetheless, when I switch back to landing on heel first, my knees starts to tense up for sooooome reason.
i land slightly toe first on my left foot so my plantar faciitus can heal
Grown and healthy is a good UA-cam channel for learning how to walk without heel striking!
interesting,as by me it activated muscle below the calf, i trained to land on the ball of my feet but it was mostly right under the big toe were a struck ,i walk/run 7 miles regularly since about3-4 months ago, i just had to take a 5 day break because i felt a discomfort in my left hip and that was a big NO NO for me, i run to get stronger, not to destroy my joint's, so i looked more into proper running posture and at slomo forefoot runners, looked at usain bolt in slomo and updated a bit my posture and also noticed that their feet are slightly tilted to the outside and they land on the ball starting from next to the small finger and ending at the big toe, distributing the weight more widely ,i tried following that and so far i have not felt my hips, i also started thinking as i am running to just let go and try various different things in how i run to find what't easiest on my body's joints, and am very observant of any little discomfort and adjust my feet and posture so that i don't feel whatever discomfort comes up, i see each join't discomfort is a warning sign, and if not addressed ,it will metastasize into serious pain or injury ,if you have expirienced something relative to what i wrote here, i am curios about your issues and adjustments
on this same topic, ive been working on queing by instead of thinking about foot position for landing, thinking about actively pushing the glute drive each stride. It seems to make it easier to land right over the center of gravity and my feet naturally land how you are talking. @@silence-humility-calmness
I’ve had trouble finding shoes i return a lot because my feet are wide and I always have hurt my feet even in some wide shoes so do you think these would really help my feet.
You should try wildlings shoes they are a step even more barefoot look a a bit weird tho
But going from regular shoes to vivobarefoot shoes feels the same as going from vivobarefoot shoes to wildlings
i will reach out!
After a while are you able to run when you're on concrete? I feel that is a significant issue.
I started yesterday at work, and then started full barefoot today. I am in FL so it’s not too cold. My boss is pretty understandable about me wanting to take back my over all health and didn’t mind that I was in loose footie sock from 5 below. I am gonna see about going all in barefoot. But I would like to get a pair of work appropriate barefoot shoes.
Try Lems, they have some nice work looking shoes.
I cant stop looking at my feet right now, they look so messed up with crooked toes to tendons. I gotta switch right now
ive always walked barefoot in my house and when ill go play sports outside ill play barefoot yeah my foot been thru alot with cuts and glass go in them but i got used to it. when ill wear shoes my foot would hurt after 20 mins of playing and ill take them off
damn just get used to getting cut! that's crazy
I’m a large male (potentially still growing), about 6’3 260 lbs, and am struggling with bad ankle mobility and stability, shin splints, and flat feet. I’m also an avid athlete that lifts at least 3 times a week (5-6 times during the off-season), and am practicing or playing everyday except Sunday. I have tried to solve my problems through recovery slides and arch supports, but am willing to move in the opposite direction in order to improve my leg’s health. Would these help my issues, or are my legs already under too much strain to receive this little support from my footwear?
I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes for like 4 years. I believe that the “supports” do more damage than good. Going barefoot allows your feet to strengthen and build their own support. From what you’ve described, I would transition slowly and feel it out but yes I believe barefoot shoes will solve problems related to sprained ankles and weak arches.
my feet like fingers were like stuck together when i was born and i cant help it
Can we take a minute to appreciate that thumbnail though 👌🏻
ayyyy THANK YOU!
What model are the white ones you're wearing? Primus Lite?
As a runner with a history of shin splints, would wearing these type of shoes during the day (not for running) help strengthen my shins/prevent injury?
in theory, some would argue potentially yes because it could strengthen the muscles in your foot. But I'm not an expert, do your own research. I do wear them with the hope that it'll prevent injury by strengthening my feet more
calf are going to be bigger after one month in vibrame - it should have similar effect
Did you experiment with socks/no socks or wear primarily without socks? Do you think socks decreases some of the benefits of barefoot shoes?
i wish I could do that. no socks for me = worst smelling feet ever. As a middle eastern man I can never do shoes without socks 😭
likely a little bit, but getting "toe socks" can solve that problem: amzn.to/3wA02Vt
@@ShervinShares Thanks for the reply and suggestion! Another great video as usual!
Do you think I can run on concrete with this shoes? Or just wear Hoka or Altra for running on the road?
Try joe nimble shoes, they are the best!
My first time ever running in barefoot (barefoot in the Xero HFS) shoes today, it felt different cause i automatically started landing on the balls almost toes each stride! Felt good, a little sore. My toes and feet get a great stretch too! Never going back to regular shoes !
Be careful, transition to running barefoot should be slow and considerate. Good luck!

60 years in ... barefoot. 🦶🏼🦶🏼changed my life ❗
Wow very good add
toph could use some of these
Are barefoot shoes good for walking? I have a foot pain below and on the side of my big toe.😢
Growing up I was always told to have something on my feet but I have worked out barefoot because it was more comfortable and I think I'm gonna go back to it
do whats best for your feet!
can confirm everything. never going back
I'm walking barefoot for a couple of years now. No shoes at all. It's crazy how humans behave around you. I live in a big city in germany.
Especially children are always looking at you :D
Of course it's different and a choise you make. For me it is worth it.
