I'm a big advocate for minimal footwear, I hate wearing shoes. But at work, spending 8 hours on my feet on solid concrete, I have to have some cushion. Our feet are not designed to stand on a completely unyielding surface for 8-10hrs at a time
@@koosalagoopagoop nope. I prefer to strengthen my feet. I walk on hard tiled floors all day at work in my barefoot shoes. I won't go back to cushioned shoes.
I would wear these shoes walking at work all day and then sometimes run afterwards with my barefoot shoes. That’s about 25-30,000 steps total. So I think it’s achievable
As a master builder I've stepped on a Lego brick a time or two. Having a foot that is strong enough to avoid putting full pressure on the brick is much nicer to deal with.
The bones in your feet are capable of absorbing shock due to the flat surface that literally all bi or quadrupedal animals feet have. The only reason you feel pain with your feet on the bare ground is BECAUSE your feet have become acclimated to wearing shoes. The bottom of your feet have no developed calluses so the nerves are more sensitive to impact.
Before we had all this technology and we lived in forests, humans used feet to get around. It’s the same thing with all of our body, we are built to survive as long as possible. There’s a tribe in Africa somewhere where their skin is so tough they can lean on cactuses and look unaffected
What they forget to tell you is that your feet werent meant to be a constant hard surface like pavement or hard floor. Nature provides the perfect cushion to your barefoot. Things like sand leaves dirt will make up this cushion as well as live foliage. Thats why they put hooves on horses because pavement destroyes their hooves. Which is why we had to make our cushioned shoes. How can you get both benefits well. You can run on pavement with proper technique and proper running shoes, but be barefoot at home, try to sit less while barefoot or even then stay in a deep squat not only will you be in a natural healthy stretching position, but your feet will remain strong. So yeah if you are planning to start switching to barefoot/minimalistic shoes do so at your own risk specially when running.
I’ve built up my foot strength to run 60+ miles a week in barefoot shoes. It’s all about the landing. Horse hooves is a horrible analogy because their point of contact is a hard surface to hard surface. Ie - no shock absorption
That's completely wrong. Yes we didn't evolve on such hard surfaces, but asphalt and concrete are really not that bad. If your feet hurt after running on concrete or asphalt, you're probably putting too much force into your stride. So try doing softer, shorter strides and you'll find that concrete and asphalt aren't all that bad. Grass, dirt and mud are certainly more comfortable to run barefoot or in minimalist shoes on, but hard surfaces shouldn't be ruled out.
I wore normal shoes for 31yrs, have plantar fasciitis, Ti plate and 10 screws in my heel decided to make the switch to barefoot and didn’t even need a break in period, my feet have never felt better, walking, standing for hours, working out and running, no issues.
Not all natural grounds are shock absorbing. There is natural hard pebbly, and rocky ground. In rural areas like this excursion location in Jamaica, there were these kids that did everything barefoot. I mean everything. They would be walking and riding horses through gravel, climbing zip lines posts for tourists, etc. There are many ppl in more rural places that live barefooted bc it’s practical and don’t seem to have problems in the majority. Seems like the folx in more developed places that frequent problematic footwear, suffer from basic things like pain when walking. Mobility and our foot’s lifestyle is for sure the biggest reasons for the majority. Companies that benefit treat it by designing around cushion, when much more self sustaining modifications should be promoted. I worked in orthopedics and now I work in PT. I myself suffer from a lot of physical issues now, but when I was younger i usually preferred no shoes, even outside. Many kids are like this. My mother and the neighbors would complain that we were out in city neighborhood without shoes. As I got older I started wearing cushioned slippers more frequently, like slippers at home. I didn’t like the my bare feet inside the house but I did for the ground outside (weird). I suffer from hip weakness, hip flexor problems , leg pain and sciatica stuff, lower back pain. I have been trying to go without all the cushioned stuff that just keeps me dependent on cushion and coddles my problem. I stopped wearing fluffy slippers around the house, and I have to say this isnt a placebo effect. My hips have gotten stronger and my stability when walking improved. I’ve been doing the same PT for many many years and the shoes are the only recent change. My lower back feels less activated, and I can sit down longer without pain or needing to add a seat cushion after 30 min. It’s only been less than a couple of weeks since I started this.
Im 3 years into vivobarefoot wearing work, running and social type shoes. Game changer. Plateau fasciitis pains - all gone. My feet have never been so strong. I run 10-15km per week. Haven’t rolled my ankle in 3 years. My general flexibility has also greatly improved. Wouldn’t go back to normal shoes.
our feet also werent meant to walk on hard flat surfaces like concrete all day. cushions are fine. just dont get too narror shoes and make sure its flat footed with maybe arch support if you stand all day
I'm wearing barefoot shoes for over a year now and I recommend it very much. I wear them everywhere, while hiking, running and working. In the beginning I had to adjust my feet bones back to where they belong (after 30 years of wearing suboptimal shoes) by stepping carefully but with all my weight on stones, twigs and the like. Hope that helps.
I actually don't were shoes that often so I run around barefoot which has made me completely immune against the power of a lego block. I can literally jump on legs with zero pain
1. feet were designed to be used outdoors (lol “used”). emphasis on WERE 2. people with any foot problem ever need a proper shoe and insole (i literally have one lol) 3. regular shoes are comfy??
Fucking hell! Just go barefoot and accept the "strange stares". I'm telling you now, in personal experience, no one cares about barefoot people. Besides, wear wide shoes with puffy insoles and your golden. I can get that for around R1000 in SA, that's around $60 if your really going out to fancy shoe shops without a budget, R500 / $30 for pretty solid wide shoes and nice insoles are fine, trust me. Barefoot sucks and it's overrated.
Feiyue and Whitin make zero drop shoes under $50. Not as well made but my Feiyue’s have lasted me for nearly 2 years walking, running and hiking. Not really made for hiking but they felt great to me lol.

For me it’s like this… Barefoot shoes- short trips/errands, neighborhood walks, gym workouts Cushioned shoes- traveling, hiking, jogging, playing sports
Most people don’t have true flat feet just weak feet. Arches fall over time if your feet are weak. I think it’s something like maybe 10 percent of people with “flat” feet actually were born that way.
Yeah one of the bones in my foot is rotated the wrong way causing a flat foot and I was just thinking about this. I want to wear something like these because of all the benefits but it would just cause a lot of ankle pain for me 😢
Lmao i literally bought some a few weeks ago and have been wearing em about a week and a half now. They're actually pretty awesome. Got some compliments and my feet, legs, and balance are already so much better.

Barefoot shoes have their place. As do other footwear. Hunting in snow. Construction. Welding. Something like Lems are about the best you could do for some of those applications and while I wear very minimal shoes most of the time (astrals and Lems) you cant replace a good work boot. Leather Lems might protect your foot from burning steel drops but no barefoot/minimal shoe will protect your foot when something heavy falls on it. Theyre good recreation shoes, good for the gym, and good for casual daily wear but people need to understand they have their place.
I appreciate yalls input, and i dont want to be rude, but both these brands still look like my memaws sketchers, and one of them doesnt even have a wide toebox
But the thing is, there are a ton of instances and situations where padding is justified or even required. As an example walking/standing on concrete, for 8+ hours a day will fuck your feet up if you don't have padding.
Feel like this was true back before we had solid ground structures made of concrete. Wood and dirt and grass are pliable to a certain degree. Try doing this shit on asphalt and you’ll be begging for some shoes
This is true for some people, don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. But after transitioning to zero drop shoes without much cushion, and making nearly every step land ball of the foot first, my arches have never been stronger and healthier. There’s such a difference that I can now visibly see more defined arches. But again, worked wonders for me, may not for you. Every body is different.
Strengthening your arches will prevent them from collapsing, not arch support. Arch support weakens your arches just like wearing a cast doesn't grow your arm muscles!
They tell you that while they’re walking on padded surfaces… do it in concrete when running and your feet will always feel better with some cushioning.
I walk and run almost exclusively on concrete in shoes that are almost barefoot shoes. My back, knees and feet have never felt better. But everyone’s circumstances differ of course, may not work well in your life. However, there are still shoes that are zero drop with wide toe boxes that aren’t so thin that you’ll suffer from being on your feet all day. A good insole could help a ton as well.
@@notisac3149 I'm sure they are just fine for running I'm just saying there is a reason no one in healthcare, retail, or anything else where you need to stand goes for the most cushion possible ie hokas, Skechers, etc. I've only ever been sold barefoot shoes by tech bros and people who don't stand for work.
I've been using these for two years now they are sooo good I have a pair for work, Leather geo courts, and the mesh ones for at the gym and messing around. My feet have never felt stronger.
I've worn shoes minimally my whole life so my feet always hurt whenever I had to walk far in regular shoes. Then I discovered barefoot shoes and they really REALLY changed the game. I never have foot pain anymore even when walking many miles.
I feel you, I’ve had discomfort in my knees and lower back pain since middle school. Then around the time I got out of high school, I tried out some zero drop shoes with minimal cushion. My pain and discomfort are almost completely gone unless I wear normal shoes.
No, shoes were historically made as status; the more the shoes look good, it means he is a noble. It wasn’t design because our feet would hurt if we won’t wear those, it was designed for status.
@@zenithchan1646 nah man we've developed and adapted shoes for thousands of years for practical reasons, not as status symbols. Shoes protect you from the environment, arguably more than any other piece of clothing. Hence why certain cultures even cut tires to make sandals, it's a barrier from the ground. Hell heels were developed from raised platform shoes meant for walking through puddles in medieval Europe
No that's the thing tho wearing padded shoes leads to a lot of injuries later on in life it makes parts of your feet and ankle and leg much weaker since your not using your legs correctly since using really padded shoes makes you walk differently than walking barefoot
I tried hobibear. Good for the price and can be used for casual wear or nice events. It would be nice if shoe companies made diverse styles of the same shoe for varying occasions
Concreat and totally flat surfaces are hard on the bones and muscles. I find it best to wear cushined shoes around the house and during long standing/ walking on those surfaces but being barefoot/ wearing barefoot shoes on natural ground while hiking, excercising, walking.

@@notisac3149Which shoe did you get, im seeing which one I should get
Strengthening your arches will prevent them from collapsing, not arch support. Arch support weakens your arches just like wearing a cast doesn't grow your arm muscles!
Let me guess, your doctor was overweight and out of shape?
They tell you that while they’re walking on padded surfaces… do it in concrete when running and your feet will always feel better with some cushioning.
My podiatrist would not agree that my feet are a work of art that will do fine all on their own 😂
Probably because you've worn shoes that cramp your toes and ruin your arch (which is what pretty much every regular shoe does).
New designs are more narrow than old ones :(
"your feet are designed to absorb shock"
Said no one who has to stand for a living.
I walk and run almost exclusively on concrete in shoes that are almost barefoot shoes. My back, knees and feet have never felt better. But everyone’s circumstances differ of course, may not work well in your life. However, there are still shoes that are zero drop with wide toe boxes that aren’t so thin that you’ll suffer from being on your feet all day. A good insole could help a ton as well.
@@notisac3149 I'm sure they are just fine for running I'm just saying there is a reason no one in healthcare, retail, or anything else where you need to stand goes for the most cushion possible ie hokas, Skechers, etc. I've only ever been sold barefoot shoes by tech bros and people who don't stand for work.

Bro giving me Liver King vibes 😐
Liver king was a con man. Barefoot shoes actually have a lot of benefits backed by research

Regular shoes look way better bruh, aint no way im taking those goofy ahh shoes over a nice pair of vans

“Why put them in a padded cell?”
Because I play football as a center and I’m not tryna roll an ankle while getting bulldozed by a 350 pound man
Me as a D end: *hands up “lock me up in the padded cell”
Football?..you mean Hand Egg right?

Football? You dont get many big men tackling you in football
@@ambroski9207 idc what it’s called to you, to me it’s football
The strange stares in public are funny though 😂
These shoes cured my chronic footpain.
Feet are engineering masterpieces of "works just long enough for the next edition to be released."
Great advert. I actually might consider buying them for my gym workouts, especially squats
It's a fantastic choice, sneakers make your squat form terrible by design
Just wear grippy hospital socks, no need to buy new shoes
FYI, human feet are the worstly bioengineered part of the body, especially considering upwards walking
I've been using these for two years now they are sooo good I have a pair for work, Leather geo courts, and the mesh ones for at the gym and messing around. My feet have never felt stronger.
This video triggered me into a flashback of the ministry of silly walks.
"Your feet are designed to absorb shock"
Rusted nail: the f*ck you are
this is a cool concept, but we’ve kind of spent hundreds of years weakening our feet with shoes so it’s a little late
"Your feet are designed to absorb shock"
Nuclear missle: ABSORB THIS
Yeah we did evolve to walk barefoot , but that was when we were walking on grass and dirt, not concrete and asphalt 😂
Yes, Bolt, Kipchoge and Jornet fully agree with you 😂😂😂. Shoot this video again but do it while running on anything other than grass and gym mat
i have leg problems from birth lmao, ain’t no way i’m wearing shoes that simulate barefoot
sounds like a pure skill issue
Hey man, they’re not for everyone. They worked wonders for me, but may only injure others.
Barefoot shoes are not recommended for those with foot problems.
"Your feets are designed to absorb shock"
My knee: "They aren't talking about me pal"
I switched to minimalist shoes and my knee pain went away almost instantly
Your feet are a masterpiece of engineering
Biology: aight I'll see myself out
where are the likes on this comment this is gold😂😂💀💀
I did buy some of these! Unfortunately when I picked them up all of the bones in my hand shattered instantly.
I've worn shoes minimally my whole life so my feet always hurt whenever I had to walk far in regular shoes. Then I discovered barefoot shoes and they really REALLY changed the game. I never have foot pain anymore even when walking many miles.
I feel you, I’ve had discomfort in my knees and lower back pain since middle school. Then around the time I got out of high school, I tried out some zero drop shoes with minimal cushion. My pain and discomfort are almost completely gone unless I wear normal shoes.
Found the people who’ve never ran a marathon before
Remember kids, there's a reason why we developed shoes
No, shoes were historically made as status; the more the shoes look good, it means he is a noble. It wasn’t design because our feet would hurt if we won’t wear those, it was designed for status.
@@zenithchan1646 nah man we've developed and adapted shoes for thousands of years for practical reasons, not as status symbols. Shoes protect you from the environment, arguably more than any other piece of clothing. Hence why certain cultures even cut tires to make sandals, it's a barrier from the ground. Hell heels were developed from raised platform shoes meant for walking through puddles in medieval Europe
Mans looking like the Liver Prince
“Your feet are masterpieces of engineering”
Tell that to my metatarsal bones.
This is the definition of developing backwards.
Just dont skip leg day 💀
Agreed
No that's the thing tho wearing padded shoes leads to a lot of injuries later on in life it makes parts of your feet and ankle and leg much weaker since your not using your legs correctly since using really padded shoes makes you walk differently than walking barefoot
@@MEkleltydon't care, padded will always be comfier because of flat foot from birth. think it's for everyone? think again. lol
Ya know, the crazy thing is I'm faster without shoes than with shoes
What’s her onlyfans?
Stfu degenerate...in the future you will have no tribe due to this behavior
You guys create great videos!
How TF do we now have Australians dressing up like people from Portland driving Subaru’s marketing barefoot shoes ?
When you finally reach the hipster boss
Shoes for you feet = crushed cushions for your feet - solution = shoes
“Made to produce force…”
Has the acceleration of a Cat 797F…
I tried hobibear. Good for the price and can be used for casual wear or nice events. It would be nice if shoe companies made diverse styles of the same shoe for varying occasions
These people haven't stepped on a lego piece.
Isn’t there suppose to be thing that says this is an ad?
It makes me look taller
How did we evolve over many millions of years without these??
A random nail on the floor :
I guess you wonder where I’ve been..
Me: Ollies off 8 stair slamming my heels into the ground as my board flys off to fuckin anywhere but there.
I can see arch support shoes being prescribed to someone with a severely broken foot.
Love the hipster energy in this haha. Just got mine, so far so good!
My foot definitely absorbed the shock of running as I pulled all the tendons in it
Cannot always be barefoot because you are selling shoes
my overly flat foot says otherwise
Concreat and totally flat surfaces are hard on the bones and muscles. I find it best to wear cushined shoes around the house and during long standing/ walking on those surfaces but being barefoot/ wearing barefoot shoes on natural ground while hiking, excercising, walking.
dont heelstrike and the load on your shins will be gone
Instructions unclear
I sprained my ankles
It would be nice if they made a steel toe construction boot for the hard-working class.
