ABEO AERO Walking Shoe Review

Trail runners. I had an Achilles heal injury and it healed the fastest in trail runners. I don’t buy the ankle thing. I’ve found I can relax and move my foot better to avoid an injury with trail runners.

This is the exact opposite of a selling point. I was seriously considering buying a pair to try out. No way in hell any company with a good product needs to have stupid commercials like this trying to represent itself as medical opinion. Pure trash.

You can train as much as you want but it doesnt do you any good when something bad happen
If you are in rocky terrain far away from people you choose mountain shoes that support you ankle
99% if the trips might go as planned but you might run out of luck sooner than you might think
If your on a easy trail choose something lighter
All in all use common sence

I always wondered what happens when a pro needs to have these or other colourful shoes in white with added dimples. How dey do dat den?

Great video man, I been barefoot for almost a year and still working on foot strength. Thanks for the tips ��

I use the Vivobarefoot Primus Trek with the same sole and walked about 200-300km and they are great shoes. I walked with these shoes and Merino wool socks through heat, rain, water, mud, no problems.

there is second reason for an elevated heel,
simulation of fitness.

Only thing I know is I have never purchased shoes or anything to impress someone else….im not rich but I am well fed.

Just received the gray pair yesterday. 55$ and they’re actually pretty cool. Haven’t worn them out yet.

Dude that song is so bad ass! Thanks for the share and review!

All you men out there buying Jordan’s, really? You want to wear around the name of a basketball player on your shoes? What’s next, y’all gonna go spend 1000$ to get the new Stephan Curry skin with the light up attachment �� If you are above the age of 21 you shouldn’t wear kids b-ball shoes. Grow up, grown men don’t play basketball anyways, unless they are black and live in projects, it’s called facts not anything with being biased.

New hikers here. My triathlon shoes were zero drop. New hiking boots (Merrell) have a little drop but not a ton. I like them because they are thinner and I could “mold” to the contours.
My trail runners are zero drop too.

Thanks for your informal videos.
This is the 2nd one this evening that has helped us

Cheers

The sneaker market isn’t fun anymore. Any new sneaker is either backdoored or instantly snagged by bots. Because of this, the fake market has gotten so so good, it makes more sense avoiding the second hand and buying a UA

“blind test”.
Now talk about how overpriced sneakers are and how people get a sense of self-worth from these brand names that you advise people to buy, which are all manufactured the same place as Wish shoes.
If that shoe you bended had a Nike logo on it, you’d talk about how flexible it is. Maybe society should look at it the other way around.

Aside from the show, I love the edits on this video. You get what you pay for though.

Heads up those are not developed out in Stanford that’s the smart system model that Abeo makes. What you have is a running shoe from the Abeo aero line. Do you have any more from this brand that you like? I like the video.

Jacques: “before you buy this, let me educate you on all the things it took for it to get to this”
Me: The shoe is $8… Just buy it and throw it away if you don’t like it…

I understand where you’re coming from, but you might want to look into how Vibram Five Fingers were sued for making false health claims that are like what you’re claiming barefoot/minimalist footwear does for the body (i.e. making the foot stronger and more independent.)

I would say Chinese are totally beating brands and prices, i think we have seen very crazy prices like 100-200 Euros, and they are producing it in China also. So Chinese decided to show for how much money they make it and also they can earn some money. So if famous brands produce it for 5-10 usd and earn 90% that is too much.

I think for light hiking day trails those would be great. But for Heavy packing long hikes I think those shoes could cause more issues. Just my thought.

This is great, I completely agree with it. I switched to minimalist shoes in 2018. I had a job working outdoors on natural terrain, and even still, it took me a full calendar year of daily “foot training” to get to where I could go to that job in minimalist shoes consistently without thinking about it. For at least the first three months I would literally put on the barefoot shoes, get the mail or go get my laundry out, and then switch back for the rest of the day. Even though I was ultra careful, I still strained my achilles towards the end of the first six months because I thought I was “ready to go.” Wrong! You should triple the amount of time you think you need to get ready for full-time barefoot, even on flat uncomplicated terrain. Start with just a few minutes, then a few hours, then alternating days. You’ve been in conventional shoes your whole lifeit’s pretty cool that you can transition to barefoot at all, even if it takes two years. It doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as you get there healthy!

Does anyone know about using these boots with gaiters? Not sure how well it would work with the flat soles.

You wear those to school, you’re coming home having a bad day.

You can’t call it a hiking boot, they leak water badly and even with the insulted insoles removed they are absolutely roasting and I live in a very cold place! For light waking ie half an hour on easy trails they are OK, but it’s basically a fashion accessory.

I was broke but not Kmart broke, take me to the outlet,…. Get me some Grant HIlls

I agree the big lumbering hiking shoes makes you feel trapped to simple lumbering forward. When home I love to go to nearby rocky/mountain island and jump from rock to rock and explore. That feeling is such an amazing one.
However my first hike was in normal or close to trail runner shoes because it was my first time and I did not have any gear at all. During that trip I understood that is why you would want something really high duty. It was mostly the water, snow and mud that caused the biggest issues.
A wet foot is the worst experience to have, and the shoes I bought fixed that problem ´(Alpine Cruiser 2500 M-bell) and still I can walk fairly well without sweating.

you can wear sneaker instead of this flexible shoe whats the difference..i dont trust it

I have trypophobia so the 4D mess with my head. I get nauseous.

My biggest problem with lighter footwear is they are disposable.

If you use them a lot obviously they last for a shorter time period than a pair of boots that can be resoled.

The end result is that they end up in landfills at a more rapid pace.

My Danners for instance(Lights, Mountain Lights 2s, or Explorers(US models,) can last 20yrs a pair as long as I maintain the leather.

They can be resoled, new hardwear can be replaced, the liners & membranes can be replaced, etc…

To me, the shorter lifespan of “disposable” footwear completely goes against LNT.

…which I don’t think is a selective approach persay.

Again, this is something I never hear folks mention when it comes to this type of footwear that I personally feel should most certainly be considered.

Even my approach shoes can be resoled/repaired.

I would like to see someone take that first white one and just take the sole and put it on something with a dope upper…..

Would you recommend these boots for backpacking with a heavy backpack in the mountains

I was really interested in these after watching this video, but looking through the reviews on Amazon you can see a lot of complains (with pictures) about the quality of these boots. Bummed out that they don’t last long, especially for the price. The search continues.

Just go barefoot. What you can do in a barefoot trail boot you can do just as easily barefoot.

Definite jump in video quality with the addition of sexy Chase. I am a fresh convert to barefoot shoes and have been using Xero shoes for everyday running (3-5kms) for about 2 months now. I overdid it by running 7kms which caused swelling of my inferior extensor retinaculum (had to look that one up) tendon sheath at the front of my foot. I own a pair of ASOLO Powermatics that feel like they’re walking me, but am fixated on improving foot and ankle strength with the barefoot shoes. Would definitely recommend Xero shoes. Plus all their shoes are vegan if that floats your boat.

I have been aware of these boots for a few year, or boot like them. I have such problems finding boots to fit my feet, I have a normal size heal but wide and high front. I also seem to get foot cramp and always get stiff calves and pains up the sides. Would you recommend these boots to fit wide feet and to help with uncomfertablness?

I actually got a pair of white ones, took two weeks, they are actually are kind of fly, I don’t wear them alot but I like them.

I’ve been using vivobarefoot shoes (for street) not for hiking. I’m really happy with the pair. I will provably buy one of those when my altras burn out.:)

These types of boot are great. the design is similar to the jungle boots l use when hiking the world biggest cave Hon Song Dong in Vietnam

Horrible design, look cheap, and not good for your feet or your game, wow K-Swiss! Well done!

arite arite arite! how much they are breathable? air circulation? pls

Im already surprised you can get shoes for 8$ to be honest. It’s already amazing. On the first one, the sole is kinda copy on the Li-Ning Arc Ace. But the material is very different. A little variation on the pattern also, but its what looks the most similar.

Nice to see a tree behind you!

In many ways the shoe you are reviewing is a crossover. You get the minimalism, the tactile response, the wide toe box and the zero drop of a trail runner, but you also get what many TR’s don’t have. Ankle support and durability. I think one of the added benefits to minimalist style and trail running shoes is they tend dry out pretty quickly, and this is especially important for foot management and trail health for blister prevention. I could see using these in a Spring or Fall scenario, and switching to a more traditional trail runner in the summer and a stiffer warmer boot in the winter. It will be interesting to see the long term review. Cheers Amigo.

You made me feel sad eith what you said, there are a lot of people out there that need help

I love your humble point of view for sneakers. You’re very wholesome

By the time you save to get the real thing, its not even important and your like… You know what, think I’m a just buy a Wendy’s 4 for 4

It’s a shame. It seems we now live predominantly in a materialistic society where self-worth or need to “belong” or be a part of a Class Group is determined by the shoes you wear.
There is something fundamentally wrong with the message in this clip.

I ain’t rlly gotta problem with these types of shoes since they are unique in some ways and they do add to the culture. Knock-off shoes are just cheaply made and poor quality, they dont give the respect that the name brand deserves

I have the Abeo Dakotas. Great shoes. New balance, sketchers and all others mentioned have nothing on abeo when it comes to durability, arch support, impact absorbent and comfort.

If you’re the type to believe that a shoe can get you clout than that makes me sad.

I recently bought my first pair of Jordan’s and really feel the connection of what Jaqcues said about saving to buy the real deal. Cuz you hear references to the legit things in songs and such and getting legit Jordan’s was a dream come through for me

I love the styling of the midsole in the white ones. And #jacques this is one of the best videos that you created. Coz I also been on that time that i want some real ones but we don’t have that much to afford it. So this brings me back to those yrs. Thanks for doing this. And I love your point of view on this.

Much respect bro, I love your whole Outro, straight truth from the heart.

Like the look of those boots. Funny you should mention the heel.I had a pair of hicking boots which had a higher heel than what seemed normal. After walking around in them in the house I had pain in the foot under my foot behind my toes. I had to take them back and get a refund.

I’ve seen a few different pairs I’ve liked the look of while browsing Wish but even at those prices the quality is so bad I’d never buy a pair.

It has been so dry the last years that most of the times i hike in road running shoes, it’s still so dry that even if it rains for 2-3 days i don’t need any traction.

Regarding Zero Drop Shoes, the problem is that the avg person does not move very much so some muscle and tendons like the calfs and achilles will be shortened, so for a beginner or even someone who does occasionally some sport 2-3 times a week starting out with a Zero Drop Shoe is the worst thing you could do and can lead to serious pain and injury. You should start out with a normal shoe and after you got many miles in start some shorter hikes in Zero Drop Shoes. Also some people have genetically short calfs so Zero Drop Shoes will never be right for them.

Vivo’s ‘Tracker’ boots are great in dry mountain conditions but do not wear them if you’ll be on wet rocky ground. They have zero grip on wet rock and are absolutely lethal it’s like walking on oil slicks.

El modelo del comienzo es una mezcla de un leBron 15 low, con la suela de un adidas springblade

both pair of these shoes started to squeak very loud and is very irritating.Others have aso complained hopefully the company will provide a rebate.I wouldn’t buy these ever again and am telling any prospective customers not to buy them until this loud squeaking noise is resolved.

Great review man,, some people don’t know that every one is on a different level of spending n who cares long as your happy with your kicks,, some don’t have sneakers at all so,,, if u love sneakers respect them all,, some ain’t made for everybody lol

A few years ago I devoted a good amount of time to researching this exact issue and came to the complete opposite conclusion regarding “barefoot” style foot wear, but I’m willing to consider it again. I’m just not convinced that it’s anything more than a marketing scheme and that the data really supports the idea that it makes a genuine difference the majority of users. To me it sounds like the “front balance pack” or the Tumpline. The kind of theoretical ergonomic idea that makes sense on paper or in the lab, but is full of problems in the real world. There’s more than one reason that traditional methods exist, myopic thinking and confirmation bias leads a lot of smart people down the wrong path of thinking. UL hiking is absolutely full of examples of smart people who get caught in logical fallacies about shaving off 100g from one item and somehow that will make a huge difference to their experience on the trail. Also, 4 or 5 sources would not get you a even a passing grade at any acredtied university, you need a lot more research than that if you want to show that you considered that entire field of reaserch and didn’t just cherry pick research to confirm your own hypothesis. This doesn’t mean you are wrong Chase, I’m just skeptical that you can upend hundreds of years of reaserch and design with a handful of articles.

K Swiss has consistently made the ugliest shoes in the world. There is NO accounting for taste.

I have bought from wish also….. Most important take away from my comment!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! LOL!!!!!!! If you don’t know you will soon enough! Lol!

Well done video. But i would challenge one particular mentality when it comes to shoes and that is the form over function aspect that many more designers follow. In most cases, high end shoe manufacturers design shoes to look a certain way and most any woman will tell you, the flyest shoes usually aren’t the most comfortable. There are some obviously talented people in China that may have the same passion that A-List designers have, but being stuck in China relegates them to this level of shoe design only to have their credibility diminished because they’re not famous.

Have you tried a addidas terrex freehiker?? The gtx is gortex an waterproof.. most comfortable shoe ever

You didn’t even try on the white joints! Did those springblade ripoffs work, or what?!

I feel you on the “do what you gotta do” part but nowadays there are so many more options than what I had I really don’t understand the appeal of a known knockoff. With Ross and Marshall’s etc getting decent shoes on a budget is more feasible now. I remember when I had to get poor quality knockoffs cause that really was the only option

My bf gave me New balance walking shoes. I use the for biking and gym and all those tiring activities they feel like nothing when you wear them like you’re barefoot only you’re wearing comfy shoes!! I have them in shocking hot pink!!! You’ll love it!! (:
