The Jim Greens can be resoled, which is almost unheard of with barefoot shoes. This means they’ll last way longer than others. Repairable shoes are more sustainable.

I wear my Merrell Vapor Gloves almost daily. They are my favorite shoes for walking, traveling and driving. When I don't feel like wearing a sneaker, I wear moccasin style boat shoes, camp shoes, bluchers, boots, and slippers. Some of those may not have a wide your box or no heel drop but the leather can stretch out to confirm to my feet and are comfortable.

Always a happy day when I see a new Chase Reeves video posted. :)

Love Your Insight Chase! Xero Prio’s are my favorite wide toe box shoe. Barefoot Bruins are my favorite boot. I’ve tried so many different companies and I keep coming back to those two.

I resoled my Altras Superiors with a Vibram Zegama sole...They are now super awesome...

Merrell vapor glove still one of my top barefoot favs. Best without socks.

Let’s goooooo he’s back

I work twelve hour shifts and I’ve been wearing the hell out of a pair of Whitins I got. They’re my first barefoot shoe and they were only $40 or so. They’re so much more breathable and comfy than my old shoes. Definitely going to look into more barefoot shoes when these wear out.

Thanks for the vid. Vivo gobi desert boots nearly every day for me. Love their pimas for the gym.

Prior to going fully into barefoot shoes I was almost exclusively into heritage leather footwear, so Jim Green's recent offerings with their barefoot sole are exactly what I'd been looking for! You can custom order any of their boots with the barefoot last, but they're coming out with a standard barefoot chelsea boot as a high quality, resolable alternative to Blundstones or the Lems chelseas you showed off. Always a fan of the barefoot shoe content!

Been living in my Lems Primal Zen and love em!

Bro, I went full Luna OSO Flaco and Lems primal / boulder boot because of you. Actually ~98% Luna, even in winter. Thank you 🙏 Btw, Portland is getting strange. Austin was a good choice. I need to move back. Take care.

I have several different brands of barefoot. Wildlings are my absolute fravorite for style and comfort. Their Cahor summer slipper is my house shoe. They also have a knitted shoe called the Nebula in black that is ultra comfy. The Lems Chelsea boot is my go to for working outside on the property.

I've been using Vivobarefoot Primus Trail III as my main (travel, hike, walks) and I love it. Only downside is that the mesh starts to break so easily after the first months.. definitely will try on these options you are mention Chase! Will start reviewing them as well

Still enjoying wearing feelgrounds for casual and smart casual. I wear Vivobarefoot trail FGs for running and pretty much everything else, except where mud is involved. That’s where Xero trails come in, surprisingly grippy in even the most quagmirey of muddy trails.

Origo and Birchbury are my jam!

Bohempia is a cool brand, 100% hemp materials and that converse and vans look

Thanks for the new vid. Have you ever tried Astral? Just wondering what your opinion is on them. I have lems and birchbury on the way. Love my lems.

Good rant🙏🏻👍🙏🏻

Hey Chase, love your videos. Which toe spacer is that? I'm having a hard time finding it. Wishing you well!

Hey Chase! I like your new energy of the last few videos, you seem to be finding your place in life. All my shoes are barefoot, mostly groundies because here in europe it is difficult to find durable alternatives. My two current struggles are (1) I need a dress shoe because I am some sort of businessman (with tons of business papers) (2) I'd like to find a shoe that performs like my Altras (zero drop and wide toe box but with some cushion) but more casual style, sometimes I have to walk a lot and if the shoe is too thin I might feel it too much. For (1) I guess the best option are the Birchbury for (2) no clue. By the way, I find myself in a similar situation really focused on being healthy and fit, but not Lebron James kinda fit but cool dad that plays soccer fit.

As of recent I’ve been living in the Feiyue shoes. They look narrow but I sized up and they fit nicely. For $35 I think they’re worth checking out.

LOL "If you touch a doorknob you're f-ing grounded" I like the look of the "earthing" shoes, but I don't want the copper rivet... A ~kinda~ barefoot shoe that's been around forever is the Clarks Desert Trek. It's foot shaped and pretty flexible. You can dress them up for the office or wear casually.

Have you tried Injinji socks? Love them and Vivos. the new Jungle ESC's are insane!

You have to check out Camper Peu's.

Barefoot shoes changed my life! Walked in shoes almost 7 sizes too big all my life, been recovering for almost 2 years now. It has been a crazy journey, but am genuinely so glad I swapped to barefoot shoes.

I've been living in the Furoshoki by Vibram. I'm looking to add more barefoot shoes to my collection. I also have Five Finger Trainers 2.0 but I daily wear Furoshoki

Check out Splay Shoes. They make sneakers and casual shoes, in leather and canvas, but at affordable prices. I wore a pair of their casual leather shoes as my only shoe on a 15-day European trip, and they held up through lots of walking over cobblestone streets and light hiking trails. My 10-year old daughter wears their canvas slip-on shoes, and she's been happy with them. I've been wearing barefoot shoes for ~5 years now, and Splay seems like a great budget option. Also, Birchbury shoes are excellent. I have both of their current models. I was ecstatic to have found a quality barefoot dress shoe, and can attest to their durability.

Splays and PaperKrane for casual barefoot shoes. Check em out. PaperKrane makes a shoe very similar to BeLenka Champs.

Your vids have good electricity.-)

Cheap amazon water shoes do all these thing for cheap and they look cool too.

Thoughts on Vito motos flex

Do you have any suggestions on a barefoot, zero drop shoe that is formal enough to be worn with a suit everyday?

so it turns out that Jim Green recently made a version of their chelsea with their barefoot sole, potential replacement for your lems?

Can you put the Flows in the wash?

I also wear shoes and walk a lot. But have no chance of wearing out shoes (and the amount of shoes) like you do. It's a mystery.

What about Vivo barefoot?

the rhizals are more like greek grandfather out on his boat

Discount Saguaro for me, everything else is just too expensive, like stupidly expensive for how quickly they get wear and tear.

I love barefoot shoes but i've given myself a bone spur in my foot and my podiatrist has made inserts for my shoes and tells me people should avoid walking barefoot as much as possible.

I wanted to love my rhizals, but they completely fell apart two weeks after I bought them. Super disappointing. I reached out and the best they could do was a discount on another pair… not impressed with the company.

Can someone explain why those shoes are so ugly? I would not wear them in Italy. People would wonder if I had issues on my feet. Sorry, not for me.
