Barefoot shoes

[Fabuloso]

Hi,

How do we feel about barefoot shoes?

I'm not really talking Vibran 5 fingers, I'm thinking more Vivobarefoot with wide toe box?

There’s a great podcast talking about the pros and cons here…

I’d recommend a listen.

Like all shoes, they’ll suit some and not others. If you’re transitioning to barefoot, that’s best done very gradually to avoid injuries.

Is there a particular reason you’re thinking about trying them?

nowster is the expert 😊 I think he may pop along at some point.

I have a Vivo pair but was told in their shop that only one style would work as I have deep feet. Like them but not my favourites.

I love my Xero's which is where I went next for running shoes and have stayed ever since for everything. Never had such comfortable feet and lack of knee pain.
