I have completely converted to barefoot shoes for my day to day and Altras for running / hiking
Discussion
I have flat feet but this actually helped my arch & my bunyons from wearing bball shoes have corrected by about 50%.
I cant wear regular shoes anymore.
What do you recommend for barefoot daily drivers?
My first pair are toasted, but there's 2018 &2023
I was believing that Merell makes one of the most durable shoes in the market. This image shows I’m wrong about this one. For the looks of it, even the local brand in my country makes more durable shoes.
Where did you weared these, Dan?
The 2018s (might be 17) went jogging every other day with the stroller for 2 years, I started blowing out seams in 2023 and they turned into farm shoes.
I would consider these as a 5yr daily shoe wroulgy $32cad a year
These are Merrals lightest shoe and I just started going through the sole this year. For a heavier hiker, I use a Keen's wrapped toe is very good.
These look good!
Cheap: Xero shoes - I love all my pairs. I rock the sandals rn with the weathering warming up.
Waterproof Boots: Lems
Expensive (about to buy for first time): Vivo
