There’s a shoe technology you don’t seem to be aware of, which is the Vibram Arctic Grip sole. This sole uses seemingly magical rubber that’s similar to the rubber in studless winter-traction tires. You’ve probably noticed that an ice cube you take right out of the freezer is sticky. The ice becomes slippery only when it begins to melt and there’s a film of water over it. The special rubber is slightly porous that provides a space for the liquid water to go, allowing the rubber to maintain contact with cold, frozen ice. I’ve had a couple different pairs of footwear with Vibram Arctic Grip soles, and they work surprisingly well to prevent slipping on ice. I am not aware of any barefoot style shoes with the AG soles, but I’m still looking. Many years ago I had a pair of suede desert boots with crepe rubber soles; these were not in any sense winter boots, but I remember that they were astonishingly resistant to slipping on ice, which I attribute to the porous nature of the crepe rubber soles.
I will check out the Rose Anvil site to see if they have any relevant advice.
Many thanks for this post.

They seem nice but all of their shoes are unrealistically expensive. It's a shame, their mesh shoes look awesome and are probably great for the Summer but every review has said they will fall apart in a year.
I have two pairs of winter style boots from Xero shoes, one for fall and one for winter. They’re both great. I live in the Northeast-lots of snow. The winter boots are warm and very comfortable. I think you have to compromise a bit on some insulation in the sole if you don’t want to freeze your feet.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had some Vivo Gobi boots for several years. They’re great here in Colorado. My feet stay warm and dry shoveling snow! They’re very comfortable. Not sure about Vivobarefoot, but most women’s shoes are made narrower than men’s.
I appreciate your style and honesty, which honesty is part of your style. Thank you. I go for "grounding" shoes as of late. It's a little trick living in snow country, so I'm not opposed to wearing other shoes that keep your feet dry and warm.
Thank you for such an informative review, Matt. We really appreciate it and will take your feedback into account 🙌
I've had the Feelgrounds Patrol maybe 2 years ago and my biggest complaint too was the lack of a pull tab. I'm kinda surprised even after this many years, they boot still doesn't have a proper pull tab.
Thanks for this informative review.
Rose Anvil has a Barefoot February playlist that has some newer updates. I'm also seeing recommendations in the sidebar for other channels and their barefoot boot videos; I don't know the channels so who knows how quality those are.
Rose Anvil seems super quality to me.
I defiantly would recommend Xero Shoes boots. Some of their newer styles I believe offer the best of both worlds for grip, waterproof, and barefoot/natural feel and protection.
I use Altberg in the UK they make boots for the military. I had them custom made in a G fitting. This means that for snow and serious work I have tough boots for nasty ground off path walking. They are not bare foot thin they are for running 10k with a back back on. These allow my toes as much room as a bare foot boot. I use my bare foot boots boots for 3/4 of the year.
Boots with laces can be waterproof. The tongue just needs to be fully connect up the sides then water that gets in around the laces has nowhere to go.
They sent them to you for a product review - you are not promoting them but reviewing them. Big difference.
Tough line to walk though, so I always wanna be as clear as possible about the connection. Getting stuff for free can definitely influence one's feelings about a product.
I have just gotten a stress fracture in my foot. I use barefoot shoes (altra 7s). Do you think I should stop using barefoot shoes? Also, I have wide feet, and the Altras are discontinuing their wide size. Any suggestions for wide feet?
Seems nice shoes
I’m a woman & have some men’s Xero “Denver” boots; they’re sooo comfortable but I haven’t tried them out in wet conditions.
I think RoseAnvil did a review and cut in half on some of these.
Do you have a stretch in your armory that really isolates the pec minor?
For the useless little tab run a chain and reflector tab. 1 visibility 2 something to pull
No Xeroshoes?
Vegan boots... don't eat boots.
Rubber soles are not barefoot boots. Is this just a marketing phrase?
No one is going to be fully barefoot in snow.... are they? And what about dangers like nails, broken glass, small rocks and sharp debri etc? There's a point where all of this "barefoot" stuff becomes fanaticism.
@@toby9999 You don't know what barefoot shoes means either. "Barefoot" in shoes refers to the feet grounding with the earth's electrons as if one is bare foot. Materials like leather soles, as in moccasins and traditionally made shoes allow grounding per this definition. It doesn't mean, as this video implies, super flexible tennis shoes that are comfy in the toes. The picture is of regular boots with rubber soles, and no mention of grounding. There are leather soled "barefoot" boots that work in the snow. This doesn't appear to be it.
@@lbrowning2543 LOL, no it doesn't. Barefoot for people that understand science and not woo woo magic words simply means your feet can flex and toes can spread naturally.
@@Sylvan_dB nope 👎
@@lbrowning2543 If your above views on electrons and grounding had any relationship to physical laws here on earth, you could simply drag a wire behind you for the same grounding effect as naked feet in the mud, no matter the footware. What is an electron in your world?
