I tried the best barefoot shoes of 2023. I share my thoughts on the top 7 barefoot shoes brands out there. How do they hold up over time, style, and sizing compared to my actual feet. Curious about the best options for running, cold weather, rainy conditions, or hot summer days?

In the 5 or 6 weeks I've been wearing barefoot shoes, not a single person has said anything to me about them. I wear them whenever I leave the house, whether it's just to walk around the neighborhood or go grocery shopping or whatever, not a single soul has said a word. Maybe no one's really noticed, maybe no one cares. If someone cares that much about the shape of the toe box on your shoes, they gotta change their priorities. XD

I have flat feet and was always told I need feet support or inserts in order to run, I HATED that and I picked up the Vibram five fingers and started slowly running farther and farther. It's been 7 years and although I don't run in the five fingers anymore or even have them, they allowed my feet to strengthen to the point where I can run in any show. Honestly, they are great shoes and the feeling of walking or running in them is truly awesome.

@zxcvb7653 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing! I have flat feet too and I wore custom insoles for a few years to create an arch, after a while I realised the arch is actually pushing the legs outwards and causing a lot of joint pain in the hips and knees. I am slowly transitioning to barefoot shoes, and I noticed I don't have joint pains anymore, but I get a lot more muscle soreness around my feet as I am activiating all the muscles that has been dormant for years!

@@kalithechamp1412 I walk about 18,000 steps a day but I’m sure you do more as an Amazon worker and I wear Vibram shoes almost everyday. They are my favorite barefoot shoe…if you are new to wearing barefoot shoes I would advise you to break them in. Wear them in the house for a while first, then maybe on your days off, they take a little time to get use to. Also Vibram shoes aren’t always sized perfectly in my opinion. Look into them but I’m sure once you find a good fit you will like them.

I got the Saguaro Luck I shoes a week ago and they're pretty nice as a casual shoe. Gotten a couple compliments already! I can also say the Earth Runners are great. Can't say whether grounding really does anything, but I try to put them on whenever sandals would work. Love these when going on easier hikes or errands. They're good for running too, but I prefer my Xero HFS for runs.

Great run through on the State of Barefoot shoes! My current shoe rotation is: * Vivo Primus Lite III for lifting/hiking * Feelgrounds Droptop Luxe as my casual shoe (classic white leather slip-on sneaker!) * Vivo Magna Forest + microspikes for snow * Hoka Mach 5 Wide (I wear a size 10EE in these, and size 10 in all others) for running. I'm also a bit heavier than I would like before I transition back to running in my barefoot shoes full-time, so using these for now. The EE width is wide enough for me even with feet swelling from running, and these have a very marginal heel drop.

For running on regular shoes, amongst all the brands I tried so far I found the Hokas have the wider toe box (considering the specific models I wore from each brand..) I have the Hoka Mach 5 (not barefoot at all, one size up) and the toe box is really comfortable comparing to other brands I wore for running (asics, nike, adidas, saucony, fila, mizuno, northface..). My saucony was so tight that I gave them up after just a couple runs.. too sad coz the shoe midsole technology was really magnificent (the Triumph) The Hoka’s are quite expensive tho.. which I really don’t like 😂 but it was still a great deal to run in such comfortable toe box.. Back in the days I had the Nike’s Free 5.0. My first minimalistic run experience and to this day still my favorite running shoe I ever wore.. sadly Nike changed their minimalistic shoes too much (and got the price too high)
