I'm very overweight and have some foot pain due to a developing bunion. I've bought 2 pairs of wildlings as part of covering to barefoot shoes. They are the closest contact between the Vivo, Xero and Lems (which are more zero drop). My feet have never felt better, the shoes are wearing fine and Im donating all my old shoes as I can't stand to wear them. Walking is so different in these shoes, it's unbelievable!
How are you doing? Cuz I'd imagine you didn't find barefoot shoes that comforting after a while. It requires massive amount of strength in your feet to bear all your weight, and if you're morbidly obese - I just can't imagine the amount of foot strength you'd need. I'm 72kg (150lbs) and it's been 7 months of barefoot shoes and I'M still not 100% comfortable with them.
@@alexjulius69their feet are already stronger than yours from the beginning bc they are used to carrying more weight. Their adjustment would be the same as anyone else also mindset is everything, I hear time and time again go slow with the transition and don’t rush it
Very convincing review. It helps to see the video shots of you moving with the shoes. It's clear these shoes are made to move in. You've got a new fan.
Just bought a new pair yesterday and can't wait to put them on. I wanted to get barefoot shoes for a while now and your video convinced me finally. thank you for the great content :)
Hahah, true dat!😆 I do spend a decent amount of time on my legs as well though 😜 walking, running, acrobatics etc. I walk or run 6.5km a day on average, which I guess is still more than most. And thanks 🙏😊
I bought them after your last barefoot shoe video as my first barefoot shoes ever and I love them. I couldn't notice any major damage to them so far and I love the flexibility.
Thank you for sharing this video! I love your content and I would love to hear more from you about your experience with running in barefoot shoes. Love and blessings 🙏🏼
I love these shoes, I have been wearing them for past 7 months and they are very comfortable, for winter I spray them and have a woolen insole it feels so cozy!
Hello Petra! I've just bought Wildling winter shoes North wolf. We have -2 degrees outside and the bottom of my feet are freezing. Did the sole help you? And how many degrees you have outside in winter time?
@@bolshoikush9093 Dear Sergej, I live in south of france now, so the winter here is nothing to compare in Czech rep, russia, poland etc. If you can, I really recommend to invest into the insole, its really warm and super cosy! You feel like your feet are surounded by soft warm blanket. I absolutely love these shoes and the insole.
I'm currently looking for a barefoot shoe for my body weight workouts and came across Wildlinge already before I've seen this video. Now: Jeez, can I do a one-arm muscle up with these as well?!?! Holy sh***, I'm getting 2 pairs of those!!! 😅
thank you so much just ordered my first pare tanuki youro, my feet are extremely wide in the toe box hope this will fit me well and hope shipping will not take for ever since its free like what other seller does
Hello sir! Could you pls make a review on Wildling winter shoes? I ve just bought them but unfortunately the bottom of my feet are freezing. Although its -2 degrees outside. Maybe because I didn't buy soles and socks from this company
Looks like they are what I was hoping to get from Vivo in terms of flexibility. Makes me think of dance/jazz shoes. I really like the tall boot style they have but not so much the colour so maybe I'll wait for the next year's collection before giving them a shot. As for running - do you also walk with forefoot in such shoes?
Walking with forefoot strike is very awkward 😅 but you can still use your toes to improve your gait and de load joints. When walking, we always have contact with the ground and when you place your heel down, if you also push more without your toe, especially your big toes, there will be a huge difference in the impact imposed to heels and knees 😊 I do however use a forefoot strike when walking down hill as this feels both natural and very nice for joints
@@Sondre_Berg I found it awkward for most part as well, but the more I tried it the more comfortable it became and for reasons unknown I find it very enjoyable. Makes ankles feel much stronger.
@@basil_jackson , I have actually also been forefoot walking for a few months and I feel that my feet and legs are so much stronger now. My back also feels much better and somehow each step feels more natural than landing on the heel while walking. It was quite an adjustment for me, though. Walking like that has also helped me with forefoot running.
@@Sondre_Berg My impression, after trying to solve this riddle for about nine years of barefoot shoe wearing, is that trad shoes train us to have a centre of gravity more around the heels, and to treat the toes almost as useless appendages. Walking heel to toe seems to be right - as studies of lifelong barefoot communities have shown - but with more weight going on the balls and toes, and our bodies positioned above them accordingly. Emily Splichal's book 'Barefoot Strong' has some helpful rehab exercises to help one do this.
Hey I have these same shoes and I was just wondering, I can see that you wear your shoe without the insole; when you first got them, did they not feel quite grainy and a little bit irritable? With my shoes, the soles have lots of little bulbs of the cotton on the surface, and they're quite scratchy, it almost feels like I have a little bit of sand in my shoe. Is this normal?
I am not a long distance runner, but I have done plenty of 3-7km runs with these😊 The structure in the sole below the base of big toe will tear away eventually, but I didn’t feel any reduced gripping due to this. And it’s no shoe for trail running, or when it’s wet. You also feel EVERYTHING, especially if you wear it without an insole (like I love to do). That being said, I love running in these, mostly to the gym, climbing gym, or whatever place. It’s also an awesome shoe to bring along for travels when you don’t plan on doing trekking, or hiking. For these activities I usually wear vivobarefoot tracker, or primus trail 😊
Sondre, good video. One question, did you buy that pair a little bit longer in order to have your feet free to move inside the shoe? Or maybe it is nor necessary due to its shape! Thxs
Have the same ones bought in August 21' last year Sondre mines have busted thru and I haven't run hardly maybe sadly few miles I do a lot though and work in them and although I can't bend like you I'm probably 180 maybe less weight not sure why mines didn't hold all the way the seam that separates the middle it ripped and a hole in both of them
If you believe it’s due to a production fault I’d contact wilding together with pictures. If it’s the seam that had loosened, it should be a quick fix however. These things can happen, but it’s important to take action ASAP to prevent any real damage on the shoe. Take them to a good ol’ shomaker and have them re sew the seams. It usually doesn’t cost much at all and they should look as they used to 👍
You could try but they're about as different from climbing shoes as anything I've ever worn. Almost any random shoe you could find would be much easier to climb in - you'd really be setting a challenge for yourself.
@@grutten Yeah. My feet are 25,5 cm. Ordered 41. They will probably have a snug fit. But 42 would be a bit too loose and floppy. Should probably have ordered both at once tho. They have free returns on first order. I’m stupid.
Beyond the actual benefits of increased sensory feedback and the anatomical benefits of being barefoot/wearing barefoot shoes, I thing the principle of grounding is a scam. I have tried finding scientific literature in the matter, but seems like it doesn’t exist. At least not proper, trustworthy studies
@@Sondre_Berg Wearing rubber on our soles doesn’t allow the electricity from the earth to connect. Only way is to go actually barefoot for this particular reason - the Wilding shoes however will provide us with all the other benefits of going barefoot if you need to wear shoes for social/professional reasons
@@SenfMustard I believe these claims of benefit from “grounding” is based on BS 😜 if you want electricity to run through your body you’d also need to hold onto something with a different electrical potential than earth’s in addition to being in direct contact with earth. This is the same reason why birds can sit on high voltage cables without getting electrocuted to death.
@@Sondre_Berg the planet is full of natural electricity. I am not speaking of the harnessed high voltage kind that runs through man made cables. Just like we also have electricity inside of us to power our brains and nervous systems etc. we are bound to the planet and all connected together - regardless of any scientific evidence, instinct more than anything would suggest that the feet are our first point of contact to the earth for more than just balance and strength purposes.
No, you should go to their website and download their tool to measure the size of your foot, print it and follow the instructions. Usually barefoot shoes need you to have about 1 cm or even slightly more between your longest toe and the edge of the shoe. This is because your foot spreads out as you step on it, especially if you decide to run in them.
Of course not, these are barefoot shoes. The main idea of barefoot shoes is to not support your foot artificially, but just provide a base of protection so the muscles in your feet can do what they do best. It does requires some getting used to and specific training. So using barefoot just be gradually introduced. Arch support will just keep deteriorating your muscles and feet further. It’s like wearing a brace for your foot.

Are they wide enough?
Vary good review! I have been thinking of buying a pair
Thank you 😊 If you decide to get a pair, I’d be happy to know your thought about them 👍

Hey! Nice review! Have you had the chance to compare sizings between vivobarefoot and these wildling shoes?
Wildling's not wide enough for me. I'd love them otherwise.
These feel a little tight in my feet, they kind of squeeze the sides. Have you felt this too?
It's minimalist, sure. But it's not foot-shaped. FAR TOO NARROW in the toes. Tried a pair and returned them. Uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Agree, the toes are quite squished
You run and walk far? Tell me more!
On average 6.5 kilometres a day, so I guess quite a bit above average, but it’s not like that’s my main thing 😜
Hi man, which size did you take, Did you take the same size as the Vivobarefoot lite3?
I use the same size in these two 😊

Hello
Do the boots provide ankle support and is that bad?
no and no, ankle support makes your ankles weaker compared to no ankle support in a shoe which makes your ankle adapt and become stronger
C'mon dude, you don't use shoes, you walk on your hands... 😜
Are these grounding shoes ? I read that the sole is synthetic so nut sure it's good for earthing
