Thank you for this thoughtful review :) I hope they do expand to Europe for y'all. I know that international shipping & trusting the sizing to fit right is a journey. Thanks for sharing & engaging with this video. Keep me posted on what you decide to go with (even if it's a different brand) or if they end up shipping outside the U.S. later this year. - Mateo

Hello :) Unfortunately, Flux Footwear canceled its Ambassador Program. Which means all of our codes are no longer active. I'm super bummed about it too. Check their website around the holidays for any promotional discounts. - Mateo

Hi :) Yay, we love our massage therapists :). I'd definitely recommend starting with the RUNNERS. They have the widest toe box & the most cushioning. Cushioning is crucial for those of us who are on our feet all day. I'd recommend the TRAIL RUNNERS they are the best all-around flux shoe in my opinion. With that said over time the flux trainers can be a more stylish option. They are more aggressive on the feet for those transitioning from an unhealthy shoe to a more natural healthy shoe because there is less cushioning & it works your foot muscles more. My barber wears both he started with RUNNERS & then bought the trainers later. All of this to say I think the RUNNERS would be the best option for your needs :) - Mateo

Hi Erin, Unfortunately, I just received an email letting myself & all other Flux Footwear Ambassadors that they are discontinuing :( their program. Unfortunately, that means no more discount codes. Sorry for any inconvenience -Mateo

Hi Sean, Unfortunately, I just received an email letting myself & all other Flux Footwear Ambassadors that they are discontinuing :( their program. Unfortunately, that means no more discount codes. Sorry for any inconvenience -Mateo

@@mateofrancodc oh man that stinks.

Did that discount code work for you because it is saying invalid for me.

I don’t see a code from here but I did get a discount. I can’t remember what it was from. It was only a 10% discount so I got 14.99 off. Paid $135 for the shoes. I’ve golfed with them twice now and do love them.

Janet, thanks so much for this comment. I'm glad you are enjoying them & enjoy utilizing them for golf like me :) I hope they are helping you shoot lower golf scores than I currently am lol :) - Mateo

@@JanetPodczerwinski how have you found the grip with them? I am gonna give a pair of the truelinks og feels a try since the ones I got from them are leather and not as flexible as the mesh before I may pull the trigger on the Flux Trail shoes.

@@seancca I actually thought the grip was great biggest concern! But, I feel theyt grip better than my actual golf shoes that I am replacing and have a better (thicker and most like a rubber cleat) tread than other genuine golf shoes that I was looking at. The barefoot design also aids with the grip as I feel my feet are not pinched. They are spread apart and i feel there is more grip digging in and I am more balanced. I have now golfed in these several times since my first comment and I love them more and more each time.

My apologies for the delayed response on this. I run in my trail runners all the time on concrete :) I'm biased towards the trail runners since I can use them for basically everything. Since there are so many trail runner studs it feels nice & flat. I think you will be extremely happy with the trail runners once you get them for trail & concrete :) - Mateo

Great question. You definitely could. Getting the sizing would be the trick. I know a few people that love them for that. My personal favorite shoes for lifting & all around gym movements are the adapt high top trainers. 👊- Mateo

Thanks for this comment. 100% with barefoot on concrete or hard flat surfaces. It depends which whites you get the adapt high tops clean the best all others technically they do clean up pretty well depending on your confidence in cleaning shoes. If you're like me I'm really hard on anything white so I'll have some marks & things that won't 100% clean out, but they definitely look way better after a clean. Hopefully that is helpful & you'll have to let me know what your experience is when your 1st pair of Flux footwear shoes come in :) - Mateo

@@mateofrancodc totally! I went with white which I think will be OK. I certainly don’t expect 6 month old white shoes to look brand new (or 2 or 3 months…) but I’m hoping I can keep them looking at least presentable and not like brown for walks around town

@@mateofrancodc and I used your code:) thanks!

Welcome 👋🏼 Eric, stoked to see a chiropractor on here👍 100% the trail runners are my favorite Flux shoe. I just bought my second pair. I wear them all the time in the practice too! I think you’ll really like them - Mateo

Wonderful question. It's not really uncomfortable the only issue utilizing it for a forward sled push is its length. My feet fall off the back when I try to take a full stride. - Mateo

Hello & great question :) Yes, you can turn off all resistance & sprint forwards. This wouldn't be the best treadmill for that in my opinion because of its length. My feet fall off the back when I try to take a full stride. Hopefully, that helps - Mateo

Hi 👋🏼 Michelle, thanks 🙏 for your comment & sharing your story 🙂 That’s a lot to be experiencing & I’m sorry to hear that all of this is keeping you from you passion as a dancer 💃. I have seen patients with the symptoms & dysfunctions that you have listed above. If there’s a chiropractor close to you who can take X-rays 🩻 & who can confidently deliver specific adjustments to your spine, that would be my recommendation. The body is intelligent & designed to adapt. It sounds like there could be a lot upper cervical nerve interference. The C1/Atlas is a very commonly misaligned bone that can put stress directly on your brain 🧠 stem (approximately 72 Trillion) nerve fibers. Very common in dysautonomia, MCAS, & Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Regardless every human functions better & has a better quality of life when there is less stress on their nervous system. I hope this helps - Mateo

Great question & comparison. Feelgrounds were actually one of the last pairs of shoes I purchased before discovering flux. That's a perfect comparison. The trainers feel almost identical to me from a "width" stand point as the feelgrounds. I did have to do a full size up in the trainers for me. If you are outside a lot and tougher on your shoes I'd take a look at the "Adapt Trail Runner Shoe" these fit true to size for me. I wear these running, walking, hiking, golfing basically everywhere. I wear them the most outside of the adapt trainers for casual wear. - Mateo

@@mateofrancodc I see, what about the toe spring, is it not a problem ? also how does this shoe compare to altra Escalante ? which one is preferable in your opinion ?

@@person737 for the the trail runners the toe spring was noticeable at 1st & took a minute to get used to, now I don't even notice it. As far as the Altra Escalante...I have never worn Altras so I wouldn't be the best for giving a comparison on that one. I have a lot of friends who wear both Flux Runners & the Altras, they like how both perform & function well, it's more of just each individual's preference. I'm really hoping someone does a Flux Runner vs. Altra video on KZfaq. I haven't found one yet. - Mateo

Great question. I'm not sure on this one you could always order them & try them and send them back if they don't fit with the insert. All the flux shoes have a sewed in insert, except the "Trail Runners". The trail runner insert is removable. The Adapt Low Top Trainers or the Adapt Trail Runners would be your best bet. - Mateo

Great question 👍 I have pretty flat feet too and I love them. The census for comfort seems to be the trail & adapt runners #1 for comfort then the adapt low top trainers. All the runners definitely have more cushioning. I wear both the runners and trainers, & I do great in both. Trail runners are more personal favorite cuz I can wear them really everywhere. Hopefully that was helpful - Mateo

I didn’t go anywhere. I just let it heal naturally and started doing some light tractioning of it after the 1st week and PEMF from the time I broke it until the 3 week mark 🤷🏼‍♂️ -Mateo

You are welcome 👊Thanks for letting me know! I just tested it and it is still active & working “DRMATEO”. I’d double check it & if it didn’t apply the discount definitely message flux footwear support & they should rectify that for you 👍 hopefully that helps -Mateo

@@mateofrancodc Thanks so much for reaching back. I tried it again after clearing cookies and it worked! Cheers!

That’s a terrific idea thank you for the feedback 👍

I have seen that too. Not going to lie the Tibbar guys equipment looks legit. I’d love to see your review definitely comment a link to your review here I’d love to check it out & thank you 🙏 for subscribing. I greatly appreciate it👊

That's a great question. I have never worn Altras. I transitioned from vivo barefoot shoes to these. All the Flux Runner lineups have a wider toe box than my barefoot shoes. I asked a few endurance athletes who have worn both & they said the toe box width for the flux Runners/Trail Runners feels the same to them as the Altra (Wides Lineup). Hopefully, that helps - Mateo

Great 👍 question! To truly know the answer to that it should be studied under some sort of diagnostic imaging while pull ups or hanging is being performed. Personally I’d say it tractions the arms, shoulders & traps more than directly the spine itself. - Mateo

Hi 👋🏼 Tom, I’m biased & I’d definitely go to a specific chiropractor in your area. 1st some one who will take full spine X-rays & create a custom plan to fix your upper back, neck, shoulder, and arm pain once and for all. Definitely not a normal thing to have at 20. I’ll attach one ☝️ of my videos to explain why that’s important kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipuhiJB-rdrLiZ8.htmlsi=zJcCPugFAPCeZ50Z As far as the ATG app it would definitely be awesome for what you’re experiencing depending on what’s causing it. They have joint & body region specific exercises & programs. Including the mid back, neck, shoulders & arms. Specific chiropractic & the ATG helped my low back regenerate & heal much faster, I still utilize their programs nearly every day. Also, if you want to DM me on Instagram I’d be happy to help you look for a great chiropractor in your area instagram.com/mateofranco_dc?igsh=eDY1dTB3MTE5eWJo& I hope that helps -Mateo

Yes the waterproof do run small unfortunately😔 due to the waterproof material. All other runners fit true to size for everyone that has given me feedback. I’d definitely send them back & get the right size or another pair of trail runners 😉the trail runners are my absolute favorite 🙂 they fit true to size so you should be good with those. If water proofing is important to you too, you can buy water proofing spray on Amazon & apply it to any of your shoes to water proof them:) I hope that was helpful, pls keep me updated on what your experience is with the trail runners 🙂- Mateo

Thanks for your feedback 👍 -Mateo

This is a 1st, great question . It’s quieter than the treadmills at the gym by a lot. I use it next our bedroom while my girlfriend sleeps without an issue & next to our home office too without an issue. Since its intent is high resistance it’s pretty quiet since the speed stays relatively low. I hope 🤞 that was helpful. Great question 👊 - Mateo

Thanks for the comment! The 1st place I wore mine was going disc golfing right after it rained. I was very impressed with the traction & water resistance. I didn’t have any issue with with of those all day. As far as the durability for consistent disc golf use, definitely something that will need to be tested for sure. If you end up getting them I hope you’ll leave us a review on the durability to help others looking to use them the same way 🙂 thanks for comment 👊 - Mateo

Awesome man 👊 Happy to help & am excited to hear her review of them 👍 - Mateo

💯 this has been a game changer for me! I’m excited to hear how it helps you when you get yours 👊 As far as the shoes I’ll attach a link 🔗 to a video I did on my favorite shoes. The flux footwear adapt runners / trail runners are great for people on their feet all day. I just got my barber 💈 a pair. You can use the code in the description & it will save you 15% too 👍kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8xyabpj2bWnlac.htmlsi=gMyI7NKm05bWlVcR - Mateo

@mateofrancodc thank you so much! I'm getting a pair

@@sportsgenius91 you’re so welcome 👊

Yes please 🙂 do! The trail runners are definitely my favorite! I have worn them through creeks and puddles and haven’t had an issue yet. I know a lot of endurance athletes that told me they would water proof all their shoes with this ( a.co/d/2u1bf7E ) spray too! And plz do create a review 🙂 I’d love to hear your thoughts - Mateo

I’d say yes to that, they are my favorite all around flux shoe. I wear them to run & lift in. I also wear them hiking & golfing. I think you’ll love them. I’d love to hear your thoughts on them once you get yours - Mateo

Thanks for the comment 👍 The insole is one of my favorite things about the flux shoes. It’s supposed to feel like it’s massaging your foot 🦶. I don’t really feel that but it does distribute pressure more evenly to all parts of the feet, which keeps my feet from being sore after being on them on all day. I also believe it’s a huge part in what makes them so comfy :) - Mateo

Thanks for your comment! I'm the same (w/ the zero drop & wide/foot-shaped toe boxes). The adapt trainers (low top & high top have more narrow toe boxes, even though they are wider than regular brands) All the adapt RUNNERS have a TRUE WIDE TOE BOX. They DO NOT have an ARCH :) purely a zero drop on the inside too. As far as the hiking, I live in Kentucky. So lots of the trails I do are mainly mud/dirt (not rock/sand) & my trail runners have held up great & still look brand new. I wear them golfing to the gym & basically every wear unless I'm dressing more casually. Hopefully, that was helpful! What shoes are you specifically looking to purchase? - Mateo

I'm so happy to hear you are loving the runners:) I can't confirm that they are waterproof. My experience in them walking through puddles & a creek, is I haven't had any issues. Even wearing them in the rain. So, I would say they are very water resistant. Also, I have heard a lot of feedback that people are just using this spray ( a.co/d/eVP52qy ) to waterproof all of their shoes :) I can definitely say for me the trail runners are my favorite all-around shoe of the Flux Footwear lineup :) Hopefully, this is helpful - Mateo

Not that I'm aware of. Local gyms could potentially have sleds that you could pull backwards or treadmills that you can control the resistance on. That's what I used as an alternative until I purchased the backwards treadmill - Mateo

just go search online for used manual treadmills, easy for 10 or 30 bucks.

Thanks for your feedback :) Is there a specific shoe that you are referring to needing more vertical toe space? - Mateo

You are welcome! They are definitely my all around favorite of the flux line up so far! - Mateo

Thank you for this :) I have heard of them & they look like the most legit healthy golf shoes I have seen before this video. My concern with them is that it's not a true wide-toe box. If you have worn them I'd love to know your thoughts. If not, it may just give me another reason to buy another pair of shoes to do a video on :) - Mateo

The code 👉DRMATEO is the code that works 🙂. Not the code in the video :) - Mateo

Thank you 😊 so much for this comment! I’m glad this video is helping people like you 🙂 keep me posted on your journey & let me know if there are other ways I can be in support of you 👊 -Mateo
