It sounds a bit woo-woo, so yes....please make the video on grounding and the copper insert! :)
Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely put this on our list of future video topics :)
I had a look at the research approximately two years ago. My impressions: studies wirth one few participants. The main research is made from one group.
Can’t wait for your video in this topic.
I am also interested in a video on the copper insert. I believe grounding is a valid thing and look forward to what you find out!
I was hoping to see a video like this! Makes it a lot easier for me to decide.
Thanks guys!
Really enjoyed this, thank you. Always appreciate real reviews like this
Very informative, good range of comparative shoes models delivered in a non bias exclamation. If you must wear shoes, wear minimalist shoes, with the wide toe box. Thanks for helping us learn the importance of foot health and testing out these footwear. Key to overall wellness.
Thank you for your feedback! We believe whole heartedly in this space, and are super excited to continue creating content on these topics :)
I would like to try on a pair of Wildlings.
I live in Cambridge UK.
At home I wear Crocs because I need the width
I'm 71 and have been wearing Crocs at home
for 20 years.
I wear Hotters sandals and boots out. They have changed their toe box.
Had a open fracture ankle accident 20 years ago and have had orthoptics, very low.
If only my feet were not so short 5.5, but so wide. If they were longer I could maybe wear a man's trainer.
Wish I had someone like you after my accident.
Keep up the good work for this generation.
Definitely do a video on the science behind grounding!

Why are barefoot shoes more expensive than shoes with more material aka regular shoes?
I just love Wildlings, it’s just an amazing footwear
1 million by 2023, I believe in you
I’d love to see more in depth comparison of barefoot sandals!
I have recently started using barefoot sandals. I even had a personal record run in a pair a few weeks ago! The plan is to use many different pairs over the next few months and then do a comprehensive review in the spring of 2023 :)
was introduced to barefoot shoes through your videos and have enjoyed watching a few already. Please can you do a video on barefoot shoes for walking babies/toddlers, as i'm currently looking for some good walking, sandal and waterproof type shoes for my 2 year old. Thanks!
I wear the naboso sandals. I quite like them alot. For first time sandal buyers they may be alot of stimulation so don't expect to wear them for an all day walk around sandal if you are not used to it. and I can very much recomend going down about 1 size from your normal shoe. I wear a mens 10 or eu 43 in shoes to give that 1cm to box space. But in sandals you don't need that and are better off getting the toes right up to the edge. which for most is .5 or 1 size smaller then normal shoes
great compilations!
Just missed the shamma sandals which are like the top sandals especially for running.
Solid video
Great Content, I would appreciate advice on 0 drop, natural toe box boots and shoes that are not Barefoot.
Lots of situations when Barefoot just isn't an option especially for work when safter equipment are required.
Great video bud! You need to add the Merrell Vapor Glove to your list though. For sure!they’ll be your #1.
Grate info, thank you for that 👍👍
Could, You make compilation like that for barefoot toddlers and kids shoes?
Thank you!Great shoes ! but none with arch inside. Are there to find?
Great video, man can you do a review for people that use insoles for back problems
winter and fall- have you done/can you do a video about boots and cold weather shoes? At least with a wide toe box (bunions here)
What do u think about sandals, vivobarefoot eclipse or xero Genesis? What barefoot shoes for bike?
I'm only here because of Fidias
Please do a video on grounding 🙏🏻
Does anyone know if Wildlings are durable? Thinking of buying one of their winter pairs...
Love your channel bro! I just switched to barefoot shoes at the beginning of the year and it's been fantastic! Have you ever come across someone who transitioned and developed a tightness in the arch? I was running in my Vivos but switched to Altra's because of it. Still love them for casual wear though.
I started with Altra’s and will be working my way down to a barefoot shoe. Mostly because my toes are seriously scrunched and it looks like I’ve started bunions. So I wanted to work to it slowly. Maybe the tightness is coming from making the switch too fast? Good move to get the Altras and work down
@@lanewhite5928 I think it was an actual injury. I run ultras so my mileage is pretty high. Basically I was doing a half marathon every weekend on trail in the vivos working up to my normal base mileage. I went back to foot strengthening exercises and treated the injury with a protocol for plantar fasciitis and it cleared up. Gonna just use Superiors and Escalante Racer from Altra for now.
Have you ever tried Freet barefoot shoes? I've been wearing a pair for over a year now and they are very good, they're a UK brand.
More on grounding and copper insert please.
Do you have a review for barefoot shoes for winter? Snow & slush.
make a comparison between the Freet Ibex, Vivo Tracker and FeelGround patrol Lite/ winter, all full leather barefoot boots.
Question on your Nebula's, what type of laces do you have?
Thank you for the list! :) I noticed that your feet and your wife's feet are medium width so you're lucky enjoy Vivobarefoot and Xero.
Their shoes are easier to purchase but not wide enough for wide foot &extra wide foot or who need more room for the pinky toes.
A lot of barefoot companies made shoes are roomy at the big toe but not outside of the toebox. :(
I have a wide foot and hesitant to try VIvobarefoot since many people report they are not wide enough. I have a pair of Freets that are wide enough for me.
@@mamabear9389 They don't fit wide foot or/and high volume foot as well as narrower heels/ ankles. Ankle area is wide open for narrow ones.
The upper material isn't durable.
I've heard good things about Freet, Be Lenka and Wilding but I haven't tried them yet.
@@mayn7115 Thank you!
In this case, I would highly recommend Wildling. Their shoes are wider than most, and have soft-touch materials in almost all their uppers. I’m a big fan of Wildling.
How do you know the size of the naboso insoles for the vivobarefoot or are they only for normal shoes?
Do you have any experience or thoughts on the difference between the Xero HFS and the Xero Zelen? It seems like the soles are the same and only the upper materials are different but I'm curious to how they hold up
I have worn both models and have enjoyed them a lot. Personally, I prefer the Zelen, as the upper is softer and more accommodating to toe splay. The Zelen model has probably become my favorite Xero shoes.
Are there any of these barefoot shoes made for pavement temps above 80 degrees F?
I’m concerned that I won’t be able to continue wearing my barefoot shoes when the heat arrives in my area
Is true the xero shoes are narrow for my feet, your daughter looks so cute with her
barefoot shoes.
Stockists in Perth? Need to try on
I'd love to see a boot review. I know Xero has at least 3 different ladies boots
These will definitely be part of our winter review :)
I know Wilding are bringing out some new winter boots (that will be vegan friendly) this year. I can't wait to see what they have to offer. By far my favourite barefoot shoe brand. I already hike in their high tops but would love water-resistant boots for winter hiking. 😊
You should check out the german brand "Groundies". Best in casual ❤
Amazing videos ya'll put out. Thank you! May I suggest barefoot for nurses? Or veterinarian technicians? I'm a vet tech and I usually wear crocs to work or sometimes tennis shoes. I'm new to barefoot shoes and would love to get something for work. Crocs hurt my feet when I wear them to work now. My feet are high volume and cant wear the vivo primus lite as they are too tight even with the insoles removed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🤘🐈⬛🐾🩺
I wear the primus lite most days (I love a light, white sneaker in the summer), but also find them a little tight, especially if I'm on my feet a lot that day. the xero shoes prio, and I imagine some of their other models too, don't seem to be a problem though. hope that might help!
Get some Wildlings if you can. Extra wide, super soft and with the most flexible sole around. You'll love them!
@@CptAngelKGaming
I live in Cambridge UK, where could I find these shoes to fit.
I am 71 and at home Crocs have been my shoes for 20 years, but would like a lace up shoe when out.
Thanks
Like Wildlings.
@@anitaswart. I'm in the UK. I buy Wildlings directly from their website. Their customer service and sizing info is Reay good, and they've been really helpful to me. My first pair I had to return because I'd messed up measuring but they sorted me a return label, and it was a really easy process. 😊 Wilding are my favourite barefoot shoes.......I even hike in them. 😁💜
Summer is nice and all, but it's August so it's almost over for this year. How about top barefoot shoes for winter / cold weather?
If you’re living in the Southern hemisphere, then summer is about to start 😉Yes, a winter barefoot shoe review will be our next barefoot shoe video 😁 Stay tuned
hello - requesting a video on the subject of grounding 😊
Have you tried the keen barefoot shoes?
I've heard a lot about Feelgrounds not lasting long at all. What is your experience? They look amazing but at almost 100 bucks I don't want something that will last one season
They are not the most durable shoes out there. This is mostly due to the soft rubber they use in the sole. The positive being that the sole is extremely flexible and barefoot feeling.
But, Feelgrounds have improved their durability, by adding stitching around the lip of the soles, which was another failure point in older generations.
For me it depends on how many steps you will clock in them. For casual casual wearing they are durable enough. But for exercising or long walks, it is better to get a pair of Xeros at this price.
how about best transitional shoes/trainers, like altra etc
yes Altra and Lems. choose the zero drop, low cushion.
Only thing I don’t enjoy about Lems is the bit of toe spring some of their models have. I would recommend the Vivo Trail FG with the insole as the best transition shoes. The lugs under these shoes add a bit of thickness and cushion to the soles, which helps during the transition period.
Can you do a video about barefoot shoe brands that carry larger sizes? ... I'm a 14US and I have a difficult time finding shoes. Some brands like Vivobarefoot are too narrow and I have to go up to a 15US, Help 😔
Hi I am from India and almost all the shoes shown in your video are not available in India how to get them
Love From Pakistan 👏👏
Hello. Do you have a discount code for FeelGrounds? In fact you mention it but I'm not seeing any discount codes for the popular brands in the links..
Unfortunately Feelgrounds don’t provide discount codes to us or any other affiliates. But you can see all our discount codes here: www.exercisinghealth.net/products-we-use
I wonder how the toe box of the Origo compares to Splay. Which is wider?
I learned about the Splay shoe from your best shoes for bunions video. They are great but wondered if the Origo is also good for bunions.
They are suitable for bunions, as they have natural shaped toe boxes like the Splays.
This being said, the Splays are a bit wider than the Origos. So deciding between the two will depends on how wide your foot is.
@@barefootstrength Thank you. I purchased the Splay after watching your best shoes for bunions video and I have to say it is fantastic. My foot is definitely very wide so the Splay may be best for me but at some point I may try the Origo. It looks like a great shoe. Thanks so much.
Anything on minimalist safety workboots? I get that compromises have to be made for the steel toe and such. That's fine. But the rest of it: the arch support, the heel drop and the narrow fit can go anytime! If you have any info if such products exist, I'd love to hear about them. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for your feedback 😁This is a question we have been asked so many times…. But, unfortunately the barefoot brands have yet to create a barefoot style safety boot.
@@barefootstrength No probs. I hold out hope that one day that one of these companies will produce something, though I fully understand it's a niche market.
OSHA said no
@@GeauxRilla Why?
Huge fan of your content (which has considerably influenced my transition to almost exclusively using barefoot shoes over the last 18 months) but the "grounding" thing is a turnoff... I appreciate the growing body of research supporting the benefits of minimalist shoes, so I'm worried gimmicky things like that will undercut it. my suspicion is the copper insert is just an easy way to reinforce the toe post and now marketing's taken over
content ide a - how to run and running basic video , stretching video
Have you done/can you please do a video on barefoot shoes suitable for the office, seems there are quite a few for men but I struggle to find any for us women at a reasonable price!
what kind of office shoe do you want for work? are you trying to get a ladies dress shoe? or just a leather style sneaker? Be lenka has some very nice unisex shoes. I use their champ 2.0 daily. I suggest looking at anya reviews if you want some more options. She has a store and even caries some brands local if your in the usa
Here from fidias the shoes btw are amazing like wth I wish I had em' lul
vivo is great but too pricey among barefoot brands..xero is the best in terms of price & 'barefootness''..but no love for vibram 5 fingers? mannnnn...for me the 5 fingers is the best..well at least being 'barefoot' with each toes are 'free'....but nonetheless, any shoes that have barefoot words in it, i'll dig it.
I agree. Xero strike a good balance and are the go-to brand for many. I am also a fan of five-fingers… mentioned them in a previous review : czcams.com/video/qJg8kKK8Kqs/video.html
Who’s here because of Fidias?
Me lol
Me lol
@@natskydgreat lol I didn’t even see you’re comment and we said the same thing lmaoo
@@HyperHrishiHD yeah lol
How about a work boot video. Feel grounds has one and the vivo hiking boot might work for one but how protective the sole is would be a primary concern with a useful work boot. Using a barefoot shoe for work boots may be a risky thing though even if you have the strength and adapted to barefoot shoes. What would be your major concerns with using barefoot boots for physical labor work where steel toe boots are not necessary. Take me for example, I do residential HVAC and I rarely see a construction site and flexibility is often more important than protection since I'm crawling in crawl spaces and attics like a monkey. I'd say flexibility and waterproofing is the most important features I look for. Which is why I buy the cheap waterproof boots from Walmart that after some heavy use they are like socks but still waterproof but not I want no drop soles and toe room and I don't see much option.
What about winter?
From FIDIAS
W
Came from fidias!
Be warned: Vivo Ultra Blooms are not the same fit as their other shoes. The toe box doesn't have the same space for the big toe.
(They're also made in China)
I feel Groundies are missing on this list.
What accent do you have?
Why are these shoes sooooooo expensive compared to affordable sneakers sold at local retailers. It’s honestly very frustrating, stocking up on multiple pairs of shoes and sneakers for different outfits/occasions
Grounding is cool and all until you touch a live wire
Xero shoes are too narrow for me
Fidas
Super thin soles for concrete are nonsense. As daily trainers/sneakers the transitional shoe type with some cushioning in my opinion should work better for the majority of people - who often find themselves standing or walking on concrete. The very thin soles of most barefoot shoes are better to be used occasionally/moderately - unless you live in the middle of the wilderness..
As for RUNNING on concrete, i would NOT recommend to use super thin soles at all to anyone! Concrete is not a natural environment for human feet, thus LESS, not more groundfeel is needed to stay free of plantar fascitiis, achilles pain and generally injuries. There is no good reason why feet should do all the work in an excessively hard und unforgiving ground (here the barefoot shoe enthusiasm sometimes becomes irrational and people lose focus on human body health and functionality which should include context). This is why "natural running shoes" ( e.g. Altra or Topo Athletic) have combined more padded soles with barefoot shoe characteristics (toebox, flexibility, low or 0-drops) for years now. - E.g. Altra Escalante 2.5 as a daily concrete-capable trainer, Topo MTN racer 2 for trailrunning and the Topo Ultrafly 3 have been working great for me.
Casual/business shoes with such characteristics (wide toebox, low to 0-drop, but with decent cushioning) do not seem to exist so recommendations welcome!
I'm trying out some Merrell World Legend's for this purpose. Sent back the normal which was almost wide enough because of the good tow shape, and waiting for the wide to show up, but they do have some drop. I wonder if they could be resoled into 0-drop? But for me I'm most concerned with adequate toe space.
$110 for an f’n sandal??? I’m sorry, but this is abuse.
