Having tried a few brands of barefoot shoes, it seems like there is an opportunity to update the toebox to fit the foot shape, but not have the current traditional toebox look that impacts aesthetics. This is likely true for only certain % of foot shapes, but I find the wider toebox benefits me more on the pinky toe side more than the big toe. As a result, a barefoot shoe could be created that still looks like its 'pointier' but still wide.

I bought my first pair of barefoot shoes off of Amazon. And affordable brand called whitin or something like that. I just got plain cloth not sure the material. Love the wide toe box. I bought those sometime in oct or nov 2022. I just recently decided I needed a pair of boots for being out in the woods. I just purchased a pair of feelgrounds light boots. One foot hurt the other didn't. The right boot hit my calf weird and caused pain. The left side really didn't hurt. But what I do think is that I'm used to the shoes and not boots and I feel like my movement was not as flexible as with the shoes. It's a whole learning process for me. It's sort of trial-and-error right. All I know is I can't go back to wearing regular narrow shoes/boots.

Just found you. I'm at the early stage of my barefoot journey after a lifetime of wearing steel toe work boots or hiking boots(I'm 48). Bought an inexpensive pair of Whitin cross trainers, loving them so far. So many of this type of channel is dedicated solely (no pun intended) to runners, not to non athletes who just want comfort and to age as healthy and stable as possible. I'll be wearing them around town, gardening, and probably early season archery deer season in September and October.

I've been wearing FiveFingers for... I guess 9 years now, and I love them! It's pretty much all I wear. My toes get very sweaty, so I was already wearing toe socks since I was a small child to reduce blisters and just the general unpleasant feeling of sweaty toes. I have since realized that just like gloves vs mittens, even the wool lined ones (Trek Ascent Insulated) aren't warm enough for the cold wet winters I have to deal with, so I got a pair of boots from Xero Shoes. I find Vivo doesn't fit my foot shape, so I'm glad Xero does. Now I don't have to worry about being squished when I wear thick wool socks to brave the cold and snow. Although I do need to waterproof them, just not sure of what is best for that as they're canvas. Then again, none of Vibram's shoes are waterproof, not even the old Lontra style that claimed to be water resistant.

I work as a cashier standing all day at work either on a cashier pad at a register or just on hard tile floor (mostly I am on tile). At the moment I use Irish setter boots (recommended by a chiropractor years ago) for its high amount of cushion. Even still, at first the job was very tough on my feet, but now have gotten used to it. I would like to try something lighter for easier movement, would bare foot shoes be worth trying for this type of work?
@joylox

I have joint pain, and I find the lighter weight is really helpful. Although I do suggest socks that have arch support and cushion when standing for long amounts of time and you feel you need support. I've worn trail socks by Injinji which are great (only ship in USA unfortunately for me), and I've also worn a few different compression toe socks, as for my chronic illness, compression was recommended by a nurse and my physiotherapist. Also something to note is that regular insoles often won't fit in barefoot shoes, so if you do want some extra cushion or support, it has to be either in the sock, or by getting a larger piece of foam and cutting it to size, which is a bit more work. I have a pair of boots from Xero Shoes (Denver) that has an insulating insole, and I find it to be quite comfortable even though it's not as thick, but really does add warmth, so they're more of a winter boot.

The number one thing is to get a strong tripod shape to your foot. You will probably have to try several pairs to figure out what brands allow your toes to splay completely. I would also recommend wearing only toe socks such as Injinji. Regular socks pull your toes together.

I haven't worn barefoot shoes before but I think I'd rather go full barefoot that choose something transitional with an inflexible sole. I have high arches and in my experience, shoes that aren't flexible and don't have arch support cause me pain in the arches of my feet. I don't get that when wearing, say, slippers at home. Sure my feet will get tired if I'm standing for several hours, but not in a way that feels like bad-something's-wrong pain

I like the the five-finger ones. I have one toe that turns inward (and nestles under another toe) due to wearing really tight shoes when I was young. It helps separate it and brings me some relief. The doctor I saw about it wanted to cut me open and reshape the bone. He was very excited to move forward on that surgery... I think he was bored and this offered a bit of excitement for him. Unfortunately for him, I do have a slight aversion to being cut open and having my bones reshaped. I guess I'm just a bit silly. Either way, those shoes really help bring me relief.

@nsiebenmor
Жыл бұрын
I don't know if you'll find much research as the medical field is behind on this. All you can probably find is testimonials of peoples experiences. Regardless, the same shoes, toe socks, and spacers that are recommended for people with bunions are also recommended for everyones foot health. A good source of information on barefoot health is Dr. Emily Splichal you can find on youtube. She however says that bunions are progressive and can't be changed, so I don't know who is right on this topic. The culprit with bunions seems to be a mix of genetics, tight shoes causing foot instability that eventually cause the bunion to form in order to stabilize the foot.

@@harmonicaveronica Well yeah obviously when you go to work, you have to wear your work clothes, and it includes shoes, but then you’re done with work, and you take off the clothes, so you don’t need shoes when you’re not at work. As for winter, that’s just wearing shoes and gloves in general plus bundling up in general, and obviously it’s much better to wear regular shoes like the ones in the video instead of narrow toe box heel raised messed up foot braces. Also, your body has this thing called temperature regulation and you can get it back by doing cold training (but don’t overtrain & get hypothetical.frostbite). I got used to it being chilly last fall, the chilly dew felt nice, but one morning in November, the grass was frosty, and it still felt fine to stand on for a but. If it gets too cold, I go inside, and if I’m going somewhere, I bring a towel/warmer clothes, dry off, and put the warmer clothes on if I’m running out of feeling at freezing temperatures or below. Then, we had a coating of snow, it felt fine, we had real snow, I walked through it, and it was nice. Then I played in the snow for 10 min in only shorts (no shirt either). I felt like I would get too cold if I did it for more time bc I had like no feeling left in my extremities, so I went inside and it was fine. Ice is fun/nice to walk/slide on. It’s just frozen water and you stand on top of it, plus only the bottom of your feet touch it Road salt can grt annoying/irritating especially with soft skin, and it can also fuck your skin up maybe even chemically and not just physically, so maybe I’ll wear sandals there or my Vibrams if I need shoes for the cold bc I’m outside for a while, and wool Vibram socks/insulated Vibrams or just wide toe box thin soled Snow boots if need be It’s not like liquid nitrogen . You can make contact without dying, and you can get used to it for a while. Think about all the times you’ve picked up/held/touched ice/snow in your hands without gloves on. And feet get better at it bc they’re on the ground & stronger. They’re just behind at first from always wearing shoes, but you can get past that in the fall when it’s not cold out yet and it’s just cool, and then it’s chilly and you adjust both hands/feet to it

Doesn't work so well in snow, and in areas with lots of litter or natural dangers. Glass, sharp rocks, thorns, bees, illness carrying insects, dog poo, and most painfully barnacles and jellyfish, are very dangerous, and I had to stop going barefoot even when swimming. So a foot shaped shoe is the next best thing. I even find my Vibram Fivefingers to be much better for ice as they have good grip and enough insulation that my feet don't turn purple (I think I have Reynaud's but need to get tested, as I'm really sensitive to cold and often have my feet go numb even inside). I've stepped on enough animals and glass to know barefoot isn't practical where I am. However, I'm still stuck on what to do when the roads are covered in slush and every barefoot shoe I've tried gets soaked and causes my feet to go numb. I've been looking into maybe trying Jikatabi, rubber Japanese boots with a separate big toe, as they seem to have a lot of things in common with those socks.
