The Jim Greens can be resoled, which is almost unheard of with barefoot shoes. This means they’ll last way longer than others. Repairable shoes are more sustainable.
I've been living in and loving my Wildling Tanuki Yoru shoes for over 3 years now. My friend jumped in on my purchase and agrees they have absolutely changed her life. They are comfortable, easy to change the THIN insole so we can go no socks, flexible, durable, great customer service, great styles. I bought a pair for going out dancing, for fun outings, and my daily driver. Cannot recommend the company or shoes enough.
THIS. This is the barefoot shoe video we’ve all been longing for - stylish, versatile, casual options, and a golden personality to boot. Pun-intended 🥾 💋 🙏🏼
Prior to going fully into barefoot shoes I was almost exclusively into heritage leather footwear, so Jim Green's recent offerings with their barefoot sole are exactly what I'd been looking for! You can custom order any of their boots with the barefoot last, but they're coming out with a standard barefoot chelsea boot as a high quality, resolable alternative to Blundstones or the Lems chelseas you showed off. Always a fan of the barefoot shoe content!
yo jim green is doing a barefoot chelsea boot. like the lems without the boomer welt - or a less "heavy duty" look than the ranger boots. check em out preorder for nov 2024
Barefoot shoes changed my life! Walked in shoes almost 7 sizes too big all my life, been recovering for almost 2 years now. It has been a crazy journey, but am genuinely so glad I swapped to barefoot shoes.
My two absolute favorites are Shamma elite warriors, I’ll wear these as soon as I’m able in the spring right through until it’s to cold in the fall. I wear these from hiking, to kayaking or bumming around town. I live in NW Montana so they get put through the paces. Winter I’ll wear Magical Shoes Alaskan boots, they are very comfortable also and with a wool insole and some light wool socks my feet stay pretty warm even in single digit temps . My hikers which have served me well for 2 years now through 4 season hikes are Xero xcursion fusions. They are waterproof and thus far the soles have worn like iron although tend to be a little slippery on icy ground. One last brand that is in a category by itself is Nefes shoes, they are all leather with the copper grounding plug. I have two pairs of their loafers, very, very comfortable shoes .
I wear my Merrell Vapor Gloves almost daily. They are my favorite shoes for walking, traveling and driving. When I don't feel like wearing a sneaker, I wear moccasin style boat shoes, camp shoes, bluchers, boots, and slippers. Some of those may not have a wide your box or no heel drop but the leather can stretch out to confirm to my feet and are comfortable.
I’m not joking , this actually happened.I was working at a clothing store in Santa Barbara and John Maher and Jessica Simpson came in to shop. The owner came over and said go talk to him while I help Jessica. I didn’t know what to say,so I asked if he wrote Your Body is a Wonderland, he said yes, and I was like, that’s a pretty good song! 😂 I hate that song , but I didn’t know any of his other music. My my brother told me later that John Mayer is his favorite musician. Live and Learn!
I bought a pair of Flux trainers last month for my first pair of barefoot shoes. I definitely felt the muscles in my feet being sore the next day, but I am wearing them multiple times a week, especially on days I have physical therapy on my right knee. I did my first session in a cushy pair of runners and the stability exercises had my ankles wobbling everywhere. 1 month shy of 56 my balance in 1-legged holds was horrendous. I switched to the Flux trainers and I felt way more grounded and stable, not perfect but better. My new Flux waterproof runners arrived yesterday and I wore them all day to teach in. They felt amazing. On a side note, I have chronic numbness in my feet from all of my lumbar vertebrae having bulging discs. I don’t know if it’s coincidence or not, but my feet, a month in of wearing the trainers, don’t feel as numb. I’m not sure where this barefoot journey will go from here, but I’m here to see where it goes. Perhaps, I’ll even expand to other brands like those in this video. All the best!
I've been using Vivobarefoot Primus Trail III as my main (travel, hike, walks) and I love it. Only downside is that the mesh starts to break so easily after the first months.. definitely will try on these options you are mention Chase! Will start reviewing them as well
Love Your Insight Chase! Xero Prio’s are my favorite wide toe box shoe. Barefoot Bruins are my favorite boot. I’ve tried so many different companies and I keep coming back to those two.
Patnoflex is another one to check out. Made by Astorflex in Italy, they have two versions, one of which can be readily resoled. Sold by Huckleberry in the US. Similar to the Rhizal, but nicer
Still enjoying wearing feelgrounds for casual and smart casual. I wear Vivobarefoot trail FGs for running and pretty much everything else, except where mud is involved. That’s where Xero trails come in, surprisingly grippy in even the most quagmirey of muddy trails.
Bro, I went full Luna OSO Flaco and Lems primal / boulder boot because of you. Actually ~98% Luna, even in winter. Thank you 🙏 Btw, Portland is getting strange. Austin was a good choice. I need to move back. Take care.
I work twelve hour shifts and I’ve been wearing the hell out of a pair of Whitins I got. They’re my first barefoot shoe and they were only $40 or so. They’re so much more breathable and comfy than my old shoes. Definitely going to look into more barefoot shoes when these wear out.
I have 2 Earthing Harmony shoes that look just like your grounding shoe. I have the leather-slip ons with copper rivet in the bottom, and the barefoot chukkas with copper rivet. I wore the sole off very quickly-in one season with the chukkas. And my hair began to stand up on end in my apartment…I kid you not. Like I was electrically charged? Also, the company advised that I don’t get them wet. So, I quit wearing them in the house due to static electricity buildup, and avoided rain showers as best I could. I am ordering them again this year because my hips felt so loose as I walked in them, and I seemed to stay well when I felt rundown-like my immune system turned on. I wore them with no socks, because the leather is supposed to regulate the heat, but my feet got dangerously cold one day, so Idk… They are super comfortable and so good looking!
I have several different brands of barefoot. Wildlings are my absolute fravorite for style and comfort. Their Cahor summer slipper is my house shoe. They also have a knitted shoe called the Nebula in black that is ultra comfy. The Lems Chelsea boot is my go to for working outside on the property.
I'm just now switching to wide toe box, zero drop, barefoot shoes after suffering from a stress fracture and tailor's bunion the past year. I paid the price for thinking super cushioned shoes were better for my feet. Instead, they weakened my feet.
Hey buddy, thanks so much for the Barefoot videos. They became a great source of info when I first started out. We get all the weathers in the UK. During the summer, I pretty much live in the Wildling Tanuki's with the felt insole, and during the Autumn ('Fall' for you people!), it's either the Wildling Chestnuts, or the Vivo Magnas. I'm probably going to grab a pair of Lems Boulders tho, because so many people frickin' keep talking about them.
Hey Chase! I like your new energy of the last few videos, you seem to be finding your place in life. All my shoes are barefoot, mostly groundies because here in europe it is difficult to find durable alternatives. My two current struggles are (1) I need a dress shoe because I am some sort of businessman (with tons of business papers) (2) I'd like to find a shoe that performs like my Altras (zero drop and wide toe box but with some cushion) but more casual style, sometimes I have to walk a lot and if the shoe is too thin I might feel it too much. For (1) I guess the best option are the Birchbury for (2) no clue. By the way, I find myself in a similar situation really focused on being healthy and fit, but not Lebron James kinda fit but cool dad that plays soccer fit.
Check out Splay Shoes. They make sneakers and casual shoes, in leather and canvas, but at affordable prices. I wore a pair of their casual leather shoes as my only shoe on a 15-day European trip, and they held up through lots of walking over cobblestone streets and light hiking trails. My 10-year old daughter wears their canvas slip-on shoes, and she's been happy with them. I've been wearing barefoot shoes for ~5 years now, and Splay seems like a great budget option. Also, Birchbury shoes are excellent. I have both of their current models. I was ecstatic to have found a quality barefoot dress shoe, and can attest to their durability.
I've been living in the Furoshoki by Vibram. I'm looking to add more barefoot shoes to my collection. I also have Five Finger Trainers 2.0 but I daily wear Furoshoki
LOL "If you touch a doorknob you're f-ing grounded" I like the look of the "earthing" shoes, but I don't want the copper rivet... A ~kinda~ barefoot shoe that's been around forever is the Clarks Desert Trek. It's foot shaped and pretty flexible. You can dress them up for the office or wear casually.
Hey Chase, loved the video. My brother and I are just in the process of completing a year long journey to create a high quality casual barefoot shoe. would love to get in touch and give you some info about the product. its real deal!
Comparing JG ranger barefoot to Lems is kind of insulting! JG’s are full grain leather, veg tan midsole and can be resoled. Lems are like a Yugo in comparison 😂
I wanted to love my rhizals, but they completely fell apart two weeks after I bought them. Super disappointing. I reached out and the best they could do was a discount on another pair… not impressed with the company.
I love barefoot shoes but i've given myself a bone spur in my foot and my podiatrist has made inserts for my shoes and tells me people should avoid walking barefoot as much as possible.
They’re foot shaped. Wide toe boxes and no drop from heel to toe is anatomically better (if you taken the time to adapt to them) but doesn’t look as sleek as a tapered toe box.
I was in Italy for a week and exclusively wore barefoot shoes! Didn’t notice any weird looks. They are so comfortable and much better for your body alignment than typical max cushion shoes. Would recommend!
Because rich people rode horses. Riding horses requires putting your foot in stirrups. Pointy shoes are easier to put in stirrups. Rich equals cool therefore pointy shoes equal cool, even 200 years later.
@@Justin-td4bb I know how to google. I want someone to explain instead. Like with words and stuff. Like percise mechanism of how EM and body interact and how does that provide the benefits. In detail.
@@Zhiloreznik there is thousands of in depth analysis of the the pros and cons of barefoot shoes on RUclips. It's too much to explain in a comment thread.

THIS ☝️☝️☝️☝️
I now vivo has revivo, but not in America ☹️
Just had my Jim Greens Rangers resoled! Love them and wear them every day as a work boot. Can't wait for my Jim Green Troopers to arrive.
@@Rex_Sjust got my troopers in. So sick. What do I need to know about resoling them? Do you send them back to Jim Green?
@@ResidewTake them to a local cobbler, you can order a new sole from Jim green or rose anvil for 25 and bring it with you.

I have the Barefoot rangers from Jim Green, they are amazing!!!
I don't understand why this channel doesn't have 1M subs. Great as always, Chase.
Huge fan of the Flux Adaptive Runners. I have 3 pairs of the same style (just different colors). The zero heel drop and wider toe box is fantastic.
yo jim green is doing a barefoot chelsea boot. like the lems without the boomer welt - or a less "heavy duty" look than the ranger boots. check em out preorder for nov 2024
Oh damn, thanks for the heads up. I Love my Lems Chelsea, but these look sooo much better

Merrell vapor glove still one of my top barefoot favs. Best without socks.
Which version?
Vivobarefoot Abba and Gobi are the shoes that i always seem to grab whenever im heading out
Love Your Insight Chase! Xero Prio’s are my favorite wide toe box shoe. Barefoot Bruins are my favorite boot. I’ve tried so many different companies and I keep coming back to those two.
I love this video. Thank you. I had been debating on those Flux shoes. Nice to see a review for them. And great video quality!

Have you tried Nootkas? I work from home in a cold basement in the mountains, and these are awesome indoors.
Have you tried Injinji socks? Love them and Vivos. the new Jungle ESC's are insane!
Yes, the only socks I use.
XOSkin toe socks 🧦 🦎
Still enjoying wearing feelgrounds for casual and smart casual. I wear Vivobarefoot trail FGs for running and pretty much everything else, except where mud is involved. That’s where Xero trails come in, surprisingly grippy in even the most quagmirey of muddy trails.
Splays and PaperKrane for casual barefoot shoes. Check em out. PaperKrane makes a shoe very similar to BeLenka Champs.
Always a happy day when I see a new Chase Reeves video posted. :)
What's your opinion on XERO barefoot shoes. Thinking about about getting the Ridgeway boots for my first barefoot shoes ever. Thank you.
Bro, I went full Luna OSO Flaco and Lems primal / boulder boot because of you. Actually ~98% Luna, even in winter.

I love my xero shoes, but after a few months the mash on top is worn on my smallest foot, because the big toenail doesn't reach the protected bit. 😢
As a respond to your call for barefoot shoes, check the Merrel Glove 4/5/7 (Trail/Normal) they are great!

Honestly, both the birchbury's coming to mind... the casual one has just enough cushion IMO: bag.gg/Birchbury
Hey Chase, love your videos. Which toe spacer is that? I'm having a hard time finding it. Wishing you well!
Xero Dillon has been my go-to casual shoe since it came out. It’s just not as barefoot as other options
Do you have any suggestions on a barefoot, zero drop shoe that is formal enough to be worn with a suit everyday?
Dude, why are you making me laugh but speaking truth!?
Thanks for the new vid. Have you ever tried Astral? Just wondering what your opinion is on them. I have lems and birchbury on the way. Love my lems.
Bohempia is a cool brand, 100% hemp materials and that converse and vans look

Are any of these water repellant? I am looking for an everyday shoe for wet days.
I've been living in the Furoshoki by Vibram. I'm looking to add more barefoot shoes to my collection. I also have Five Finger Trainers 2.0 but I daily wear Furoshoki
Origo and Birchbury are my jam!
Do you find origo sizing to be accurate? I have been contemplating them for quite some time
Thanks for the video! What brand are those toe spacers that you mentioned near the end?
As of recent I’ve been living in the Feiyue shoes. They look narrow but I sized up and they fit nicely. For $35 I think they’re worth checking out.
Thanks for the vid. Vivo gobi desert boots nearly every day for me. Love their pimas for the gym.
You didn't say the name of the 2nd shoe and those would be perfect for work for me. Btw check out Bearfoot. Solid.
so it turns out that Jim Green recently made a version of their chelsea with their barefoot sole, potential replacement for your lems?
LOL "If you touch a doorknob you're f-ing grounded"
I like the look of the "earthing" shoes, but I don't want the copper rivet...
A ~kinda~ barefoot shoe that's been around forever is the Clarks Desert Trek. It's foot shaped and pretty flexible. You can dress them up for the office or wear casually.
Can you put the Flows in the wash?
Cheap amazon water shoes do all these thing for cheap and they look cool too.
Thoughts on Vito motos flex
I also wear shoes and walk a lot. But have no chance of wearing out shoes (and the amount of shoes) like you do. It's a mystery.
Been living in my Lems Primal Zen and love em!
Check out the "Ohne Project" Barefoot Sneakers. Best looking casual barefoot shoes! 😁👌🏽
He's really giving cool uncle vibes
Hey Chase, loved the video. My brother and I are just in the process of completing a year long journey to create a high quality casual barefoot shoe. would love to get in touch and give you some info about the product. its real deal!

Comparing JG ranger barefoot to Lems is kind of insulting! JG’s are full grain leather, veg tan midsole and can be resoled. Lems are like a Yugo in comparison 😂
The Mexican leather-strap huarache, the original barefoot shoe. Then came the Converse All-Star... 😂😂😂
I wanted to love my rhizals, but they completely fell apart two weeks after I bought them. Super disappointing. I reached out and the best they could do was a discount on another pair… not impressed with the company.

Just reached out to them.
Hey, you forgot to talk about all your different purses to go with you all your different shoes
Looks like California finally came to Texas, am I right?

Discount Saguaro for me, everything else is just too expensive, like stupidly expensive for how quickly they get wear and tear.
I love barefoot shoes but i've given myself a bone spur in my foot and my podiatrist has made inserts for my shoes and tells me people should avoid walking barefoot as much as possible.
