If anything, get a barefoot shoe. They feel good
Discussion
These look interesting, thanks! Knew you'd come through.
Not in Europe, USA. Wonder what gave you that impression?!
Looking like I may be getting two pair now. Gym/function (these are contenders) and a casual pair that look a little cooler since I only really have one such pair right now and they're green-heavy, so don't like to wear them with everything
I swear I thought you were European lol my bad. USA bitches 🦅 🇺🇸
I used NoBull in the past when I did CrossFit. Really great shoes even though they are not barefoot
i love my vivobarefoots but they phased out teh nice little leather shoes made in africa which i was lucky to get one, i like those shoes although i wish they made a 9" tall boot version, the sole print was cool, like one of those maps of altitude over an area, i forget the name of that.
i got some "vegan" tall ones called ESC2 but honestly, this vegan shit with shoes is a fucking travesty, there is no better material for shoes than leather, ideally double layer kangaroo, but double layer goat would be ok, cowhide is too thick for shoes, though it probably makes good natural soles, instead of using plastic/rubber polyurethane shit.
i don't feel like i'm gonna have the shoes i really want until i make my own out of double layer roo with a CNC carved last based on a 3d scan of my own feet. maybe that's something i will get into while i'm stuck here in this nice little cottage next to the ocean, before i get my boat mission together.
Mleku with the curve ball suggestion. Gonna have a look.
Very interesting thoughts on rest.. I see you've thought about this before
I forgot to mention Olympus Footwear. I want to try his shoes but are kinda pricey (waiting for the corn to pop) so I can justify the expense
The guy that makes them is def an autistic ⭕️
i probably spent about a full month all day long dreaming about making boots when i was in prison in 2014
Note of the day winner for me lol. So much there. Agree with you on vegan shoes being trash. Tried some... what were they called...AllBirds back in the day. Just throw them in the wash they said... destroyed them. Second pair replacement didn't fair much better. Done with them since
