New shoes! My fitness trainer likes the Hobibear brand because of the wide toe box and the wider width at the arch. A lot of “barefoot” brands trying to get money from that audience will have a wide toe box then narrow like any other shoe midway.

Those look nice. Crocks work great too if you can’t go barefoot

Boyfriend loves his Crocks. 🐊

I still need my custom insoles right now which move around too much if there’s not more structure to the shoe. I had a different brand of barefoot shoes but they didn’t support the insoles enough which is why I like the Hobibear. 🐻

Taken them for a spin yet?

I will after breakfast 🍳

How did they work out?

Really well. I wore them with my custom insoles for a half day, then a full day. Right foot ached a little after the full day, but it does that right now.

I matched the size on my old hiking boots, and chose Wide. There’s a bit more room in front of my toe than other shoes, but the rest of the shoe fits comfortably so I’m going to keep these. 👍

They are true to size? My feet are fucked, I hate ordering shoes on line.

Yes, true to size for me (Woman’s 8 wide). I specifically ordered them through Amazon Prime so returns would be easy if they didn’t fit.

ooh I might want to look into these if they are not too expensive. I just got a pair of Keds.

I got them off Amazon for $42, but you can probably find them elsewhere.
