do you ride a bike with these? Wondering if they are thick soled enough for pedal metal to not hurt feet over long rides
Discussion
These do not have thick soles. Bicycle or motorcycle?
I do ride a bicycle with these
bicycle. I used to ride with vivo barefoot shoes but one part of my pedal pushed on the outer edge of my foot and it became really painful and sensitive after about a year of near daily riding
I bet these would bother you if vivos bothered you, but ive never owned them
For daily riding, I use clip in pedals. I got one with a normal pedal on one side and the clip on the other so I can ride with any shoes. I usually bring a pair of shoes to change into.
Clip in pedals are game changers for hills and long distance
I should do this. I have a kid on the back of the bike now often so am nervous about the learning curve of getting foot out.
I'm a fan of xero shoes but they aren't wide enough once your feet start to adjust to the extra space.
I use the xero360 for tennis & pickleball & when it's wet outside.
But the spacing of the toes is the whole friggin point - if you don't like it - it means most likely that your toes are weak.
At the very least get toe socks to pair with your xeros.
I don't use any normal socks anymore & it's what got me to go Vibram 5fingers.
I would have to try them again, its been 10 years since I had them.
As I have gone down my barefoot journey my feet have flattened out and my toes have spread out on their own. I have ran a half marathon in Xero shoes
Yeeee make sure you go for the "V-Train 2.0"
That's the pair I love & vouch for.
I've put ~100miles of running on trails with them, never going back to another shoe.
Love that you did a half with xeros! LFG 😎💗
