    I purchased a pair a couple of years ago now purely after watching your videos. Absolute awesome sandals, great design, comfy, minimal, well done earth runners

    I’ve been wearing them for about 5 years. I love them and I’m 400lbs even lol.
    Working on my health and fitness but they are so comfortable to me.
    My fiance and everybody else mostly hate them and have made jokes but.. they’re comfortable, cool for down south and I’m on my second pair now so not gonna stop wearing them.
    My only complaint is i mostly have to wear them on the weekends because of work unfortunately.

    I got my first pair after I started road running again and having pain in my feet from my running shoes. My first amount of time in them was all week at the beach, keeping up with a bunch of teenagers. The more I wore them, the more comfortable they became… and my foot pain went away! Playing volleyball on that hot sand was perfect! I totally recommend them.

    I got my first pair about two weeks ago (thanks to all the references in your videos). I love them. I wear them all the time now. It took about a week and a half to break in. Had one rough blister on one toe but I expected it and was prepared for it. I’ve gotten some vivobarefoot shoes to wear to work since I can’t wear the earth runners to work. Planning to go fully barefoot and I’m excited about it.

    I have one of the first pair of bedrock sandals ever made, I traded the guys some hand crafted spoons for them. They replaced the straps for me a few years ago. Still going strong. Same concept just a name.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Месяц назад +1

      Yea I know those sandals. When I was on the hunt for my first pair that style I was looking at those as well. One of the influencing factors on the Earth Runners for me was the grounding (which from what I know, is legit). Also, I think they were a bit lighter as well. But I will say the bedrocks looked a little cooler lol

    • @Jim_Tabor
      @Jim_Tabor Месяц назад

      I didn’t understand the grounding thing. I go barefoot most of the time working in the yard and fishing,so I guess I am grounded most of the time. Thanks for explaining it.

    Hey Trip where’s your home base,you did a video of taking a trip from Newton,Al. To Geneva,Al. or vise versa I need some advice on that trip my wife always wanted her ashes spread down that water way! So I’m going to do it even though I’m not crazy about it but that was her wishes! Hit me back if you see this. I thought about grounding I may need some of them shoes!

      Dothan, Alabama. My dad used to live in Newton and then Midland City real close to the river. I've spent a lot of time out on that river.... You can paddle anywhere south of Hwy 36 pretty easily. The best stretch is Hwy 36 to Brown's Crossroads. Getcha some!!!!

    Hi Trip how are you buddy? I like your sandals man. What you don't see is people wearing good sandals like These. I think the sandals are cool. It would have been nice to see how they look like while they were on . Question are they true to size? I am a sandals guy. I don't own a pair of shoes or socks or boots at all. I wear sandals & Flip flops 🩴 all year around everyday even When it's 30° degrees outside i am the Stupid guy that is wearing sandals or flip flop 🩴. I have to wear open toes footwear because I have big & very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide ( which is very very extremely wide feet 🦶 ) with very very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe & Flip flops 🩴 is the only footwear that will barely and I mean barely fit on my feet 🦶 because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps. This is why I like your sandals because they don't have the straps in the front of the sandal. Just curious man what size are you & your sandals you have. Did you have to go up or down on the sizes? Have you heard of Shamma sandals? I have 2 pair of Shamma sandals & i love them. They really really give you that barefooted 👣 feeling. I also have a pair of Bedrock sandals too that I love wearing all the time. I take turn wearing my flip flops 🩴, Shamma sandals , & Bedrock sandals , & being barefooted 👣 which I love the most. I love being barefooted 👣 cuz it is so easy my me. I have to drive my car 🚗 barefooted 👣 because my feet 🦶 are so wide that they touch both gas & brakes pedal at the same time because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are. I have to look down at the pedal to see where to put my foot at so that I don't have a rear end collection. I love my sandals because I do a lot of kayaking , kayak camping & they are really really good for kayaking. Are your sandals good for kayaking? This was a good review about your sandals man. Thanks you for sharing this video buddy.

      I'm well! They have a sizing guide on their website. You can print out a size and test your foot on it ;) Yes, they are great for paddling. Often times, I forget to take mine off!
