I’m with you there. It’s similar to RAD and STR/KE and how their trainers are a bit more pricey! I also like that Feelgrounds is using more recycled materials than most of these big brands - always an added bonus!

Right? So simple and clean! Welcome and thanks for watching 💪

Yeah, EU based! Let me know how you like them 💪

Super happy this helped! I appreciate you leaving feedback 💪

Happy you found me, too! Shout if you have questions 🤝

Welcome! Keep me posted on how you like them 🤝

Love it! Let me know how you like them!

Thank you! And yes, I just placed an order for the Legacy!

Thank you - a tad on the goofy side 😅

@@thatfitfriend thanks for the quick response. Do you have any suggestions on more discrete looking barefoot shoes?

You’re on the money with longevity being a long-term concern with these. Check out Suav shoes as well! I have a pair coming soon and can also let you know how they are but they have a cleaner look to them like these!

These would likely work well for you. You could also check out Splay and Tolos. They make some good-looking more casual barefoot shoes!

A bit heavier! The knit breathes well for knit, but it's definitely not as light in nature as the canvas in Chucks!

Hey! I haven't had this pair of shoes for a year just yet, however, I have been wearing barefoot shoes (other models) for a couple of years now as I rotate them in often with the other shoes I train in and review. IMO, the barefoot shoe benefits are often over-exaggerated, especially when asking someone with a large emotional bias towards that type of footwear. That being said, with barefoot shoe use regularly - I have noticed some benefits with improving foot strength and making the surrounding tissues of the foot more resilient, but it's nothing life-changing - it's just tissues adapting to gradual exposure to stress/new environments. Even if you didn't want to go full-on barefoot shoes and instead use them here and there or sprinkle in some barefoot training/direct footwork, then I think you would see some passive benefits with foot strength which could carryover to other aspects of your life depending on the context!

@@thatfitfriend I really appreciate that balanced view. A lot of KZfaq videos make it seem life changing, so it makes me wonder if I should give up all my normal shoes. I am going to try your suggestion of just putting in the rotation! You have the best review I have seen on these. Thank you!

@@Lifeneverlost you’re welcome! Yeah, I’m not always the biggest fan of verbiage used in re: barefoot shoes by folks who don’t recognize or acknowledge their own bias with them. They’re great tools, but at the same time, there are a lot of layers that can influence if they benefit or detract from your interpretations with them. In re: rotating, sounds great! Think of them like getting into running/working out - ease in slow and build up tolerance accordingly at your own speed! Shout if you ever have future questions 💪

I don't believe so, but I'm US based so I can't speak to that fully. I feel like you'd be able to easily check that via the final checkout review page. These or the Splay FREESTYLE could be great options to explore!

I’ll add it to the list 🤝

@@thatfitfriend thanks you very much. You are my number one reference for barefoot shoes 👌🏼

@@sephyrsnapback love hearing that and I appreciate it! Always welcome to suggestions, I build content for the community so I’m always down for new models per requests!

Thanks! Constant work in progress 💪

And that is why it’s “bro science” 😂 the industry is shifting away from the “no knees over toes” notion, but it’s still present in some pockets. The idea that the knees coming over the toe is “bad” is often misapplied and misinterpreted. There is nothing inherently dangerous with the knees tracking over the toes especially when we account for the fact that we NEED knee flexion for squat mechanics + quad usage. I could go deeper here if you’re interested! In re: video: That’s a variation called sissy squats, I use them for quad hypertrophy and knee/ankle tendon health. I’ll either use them as a means to warm-up or as finishers with a Bodyweight hypertrophy stimulus!

Sissy squats or sometimes known as VMO squats are great for building tendon strength in the knees

@@erictrivelli9357 Yesss! Thanks for chiming in!
