do you wear socks when wear them while running in temperate climates?
All these shoes have a very steep slope from big toe to little toe. My little toe is not that much further down from my big toe. Where are the barefoot shoes with a footprint like mine? I’ve been looking! I need more of a box kind of a shape. Somebody please tell me it’s exists somewhere…����thank you.
I love vivos. Have about 4 pairs. Only con is that they fall apart on me, sole comes off if it isn’t stitched on which a lot of them have. Stitching and fabric rips on others. Gonna keep buying them cause there’s not many options that compare.
This looks like what you had before…maybe not exactly but look more breathable than the new ones you got and they’re only $7.51 US: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1933/10020231/4305801
Also, I have these, they’re $110 but I love them: https://www.amazon.com/inov-8-Bare-XF-Cross-Trainer-Shoes-Black-Orange/dp/B01N5G5TOU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504294594&sr=8-1&keywords=inov-8%2B210%2Bv2&th=1
I rock my vibram v-runs with confidence and pride. The world can get use to them. I’m not about to follow the sheeple.
In regards to you saying you ran the 100 to early, I think from my perspective that just wasn’t my story. I started running my first race a year ago (mothers day half marathon) and a month and a half ago I ran a 100. Looking at your 100 race video it just appeared you didn’t have all of the proper knowledge such as salt caps, eating every 30mins to an hour etc. I know you can easily complete it. Just need to properly hydrate and get used to running extremely slow and have all of the knowledge of 100s. You can do it man and I hope you crush the marathon. And get well quickly!!
QOTD: I ran in the John Keenan Memorial Race which is over a 3.2KM distance. Finished in 5th place in a time of 9:57. Reasonably happy with it.
Hey Seth! I’m looking for a second trainer that I could use on medium runs and some speed workouts. I’m currently a junior in high school, I’ve been running cross country for 3 years. Right now I’m running in the Brooks Glycerin 16 (Neutral, plush cushioning, 10mm offset). Do you have any recommendations?
I thought i was extreme.I have about 4 pairs of shoes I have alot (2 is alot for me)pairs of flip flops.I do need to learn how to walk better.I stomp around a lot.Not mad i just walk fast and tend to stomp.
Hey! I’ve been wanting to know about these shoes for a while. Thank you so much for sharing!
dudeee. what about the sizing? lots of comments say the sizing is all messed up. so do I order bigger size than normal or a smaller size?
LOL I loved the ending. You’re a beautiful human-like person VP ��
Yes, we all understood that you were talking about Primal Professional:)
I’m going to be picking up those Lem’s boots, Fo-Sho! Thanks for the link, Chase. So hard to find boots that don’t crush the toe box these days.
Because nobody try to compete with them and sadly barefoot shoes are nish. Its like “spaciallty” shoe. Low demand by consumers equals high price.
I didn’t know that ppl w flat feet could develop an arch over time. That’s cool.
I stand on one foot while brushing my teeth, doing dishes etc to strengthen the muscles in my foot.
Chase I think the brand Wildlings is worth checking out. They look better than any barefoot shoes I’ve seen
Thanks for this informative video, ai suffer very badly from Fallen arches (flat feet) which can make it very painful for me to walk properly due that epain my arch and ankles and sometimes my knees. I used to have orthopedic insoles,but they just made it ever more painful for me that within 10 minutes of walking I wasnt able to walk at all due to the pain. Now I dont walk at all with hard arch insoles and resort to sketches which are more flexible for me.
Most people don’t know this but Shoe Stevenson and his older brother Wet Sock Stevenson, were not actually real people. They were the documented hallucinations of Pencil Stevenson who was connected in some convoluted way to Arthur Klondike Bar Robinson. I can’t remember the details but I did explain it in great detail in a previous Vegetable Police post.
I’ve been wearing freet barefoot shoes for years, love them. I also have a pair of xero shoe sandals that are very similar to your sandals, I’ve worn them all around the world. I’m currently in Salem Massachusetts with them ����
There are flip flops that are like slippers, have you tried crocs?:p
I wear water proof, side zipper boots that have breathable gortex lining…they used to be affordable at 100usd but everyone’s found out ab I UT them and now are closet to 160….
I have the sweetest feet. My feet even slip in rainbows and berks. Would you still recommend?
Dont be a Kent! Start Sharing your videos on SteemIt. You’ll triple your residual $$$! Your welcome! ( ;
New to your channel. You’re amazing. I like the way you present the content.
Thank you for this vid! I want. (Vegan, yay!) and I’m already used to the looks when I sport “socks n stocks” lol
I read Born to Run, bought zero drop Merrell shoes and started researching veganism based on that book. Never wearing arch support again, one of the worst things you could do for your posture.
Got the idea of wearing beach/aqua shoes to work back in 2016 and still doing it now because of the mesh material and breathability. Looks like we have the same idea Vegetable Police
Try Luna Sandals made in Seattle. I’ll try those Shama. If I could sandle 100% of life, I would. Judge me if you will
You have inspired me to give barefoot shoes a go I didn’t even know they existed before I found your channel! I just bought the Merrell Vapor 4’s today and have been wearing them around the house. So far, I love them! ��
This video is misleading. His feet naturally support his arch, which makes this method work for him. But other people have a collapsed arch or flat feet that in turn causes your tibia and fibula to compensate for the imbalance and the issues run up the kinetic chain. There is a reason doctors say things will help, you (someone whom knows nothing of medicine) cannot claim that every doctor (who probably went to school for at least 8 years) knows less than you. Everyone is different.
Lems Chukkas seem a bit counter to the whole idea of barefoot shoes with that thick sole, no?
If you have large feet, try the Croc Santa Cruz Loafers. They run a 14 wide which is excellent.
I wish I could have shoes like these. But, I have fallen arches. So, I need arch support, otherwise, my knees hurt.
All these shoes have a very steep slope from big toe to little toe. My little toe is not that much further down from my big toe. Where are the barefoot shoes with a footprint like mine? I’ve been looking! I need more of a box kind of a shape. Somebody please tell me it’s exists somewhere…����thank you.
Would you recommend these shoes for someone who uses a prosthetic leg?
Yeah I dunno, maybe for some people. I wore regular shoes my whole life, and then into a couple jobs where I was standing for 8 hours a day. By the time I got home some days, my ankles were killing me and I could barely walk. I have fairly flat feet. Once I started wearing shoes with arch support, all of my ankle pain went away.
Bro, just found your channel and I’m really enjoying the content!
Wanted to ask, in a previous video you said your feet have gotten too wide even for some barefoot shoes like xero.
Could you elaborate on the process for making that happen?
Like maybe exercises, tools like toe separators and so on.
That would be awesome!
Chase! what do I gotta pay to see more content from you? Genuinely saying thisyou’re one of my favorites on youtube. Keep up the good work, and stoked to see some new content dude!
Reflect: the long run was great! Did 12.5 miles and 6 of those miles were at goal half marathon pace ( 6:30)
I’ve had to have 3 major Reconstructive Foot and Ankle surgeries; where titanium screws have been inserted in my arches and bones shaved off, the collapsed Navicular bones, namely. My fèet are far too sensitive and now, have to wear very supportive shoes, and can never walk barefoot, because of my previous severe fallen arches. WARNING: Never accept toxic Cortisone injections, for pain, because that’s what caused the main tendon in my left foot to rupture and it had to be seen back together; felt like a rubber band snapped in two, when my arch finally collapsed, but now, I can almost jog. ��
Hey, what’s your opinion on toe spacers? Also, you kinda sound like a real world Fry from Futurama.
I had to slack off using my Adios 4. Love them and a good distance shoe but got a bit of PF from them:-(
Don’t do what I do sometimes with strava…. Like forgetting to turn your watch off when leaving the running area a driving off in an auto. You could get 99 miles quick in a shoe.
Love this! I have flat feet with one pronated due to screws in the ankle and calf 30 years ago. I have OA in the knees. Running shoe store sold me a pair of shoes for pronated feet. They kill me because the other foot is not pronated, and it feels like a bar pushing the inside of the soles upward. I don’t wear them unless I go shopping lol. I bought a cane because one leg was so bad. I used the cane ONE evening and it made my shoulder hurt that does not hurt. I hug the cane up and don’t wear those darned expensive tennis shoes for stupid feet. You hit this spot on about using crutches!
Chase, thanks for this video. It was a huge help!! I have been looking for similar shoes for years. Love the energy made me a subscriber. Love the content..
I thought what killed your foot was that 5K cookie race in rebook shoes,which seem to have very thin midsole.
Awesome video here. Tried sending you a message at matterful but says your server is down. Oh no!
It took you so long to get to the point where you were going to tell us why you were injured that I had to stop watching. I listened to you blabber along for like 10 minutes… I wish I had that time back. I can’t remember being this disgruntled with a YouTube video in a long time. You win.
Have you ever tried ” Wildling ” shoes? I highly recommend them ��
any recommendations how to track mileage in diff pair of shoes? any good apps to recommend? tq
Just did my first Marathon last week (Vancouver so a tough course). Did 2:52 so pretty happy. Ran them in the Reebok Floatride Run fast and they felt great!
Great video man! Many people would disagree though. It’s great to relate to our past as much as possible, but their lifestyles were very different. For one, they weren’t carrying the weight we usually carry, for the time. In my job I have to carry a 45+ lbs ruck sack, on mixed terrain, for miles. Other days I am carrying or squatting heavy loads. The shoes I wear are not natural, and neither are the activities I perform. I guess a practical example is that our ancestors definitely didn’t stand at a fucking cash register for 8+ hours without movement:) Those people need the extra cushion and support. Around the house or when I am lounging in parks I definitely go barefoot but it is pretty dangerous advice to tell people to just go barefoot or minimalist from the get go.
Barefoot shoes are the best I bought my first pair last year for the gym. A couple weeks later I went back to the same store to buy a different pair as daily shoes.
It takes some time to get used to them but I’m not going back to “normal” shoes
Toooo many miles? Bro my sketchers go run 7 have 450+ miles and I am waiting for the hoka rincon to come out. I need them to come out now
Ordered my second pair of Lems using your links. Got the first pair of bolder boots and ordered the nine2five’s, 2 days later. These thing are freaking great!! Thanks for turning me on to them!
Try Vibram five finger toe shoe I have been for about 10 years now. Love them
I don’t need fancy shoes or some company that’s spent millions on “styling”, I just want a normal shoe with normal materials just less of them and more width.
I have found that water shoes on AliExpress serve as a great budget “barefoot” shoe. Aside from that good things are said about xero sandals and the like and they aren’t too much. Not a shoe though.
Started doing a Deadlift heaving lighting session once a week and a Kettle bell session every week or two and that has been great. I also broke my left right above the ankle 3 years ago. Do strength work for 5-10 mins 3/5 times a week with Bands and it is keeping it strong. Stay in there man. Don’t ride the highs too high or get bogged down the lows too much
You are undoubtedly one of the most hilarious people that I ever ‘met’. I enjoy your videos immensely, good luck on your relocation to Thailand. You Toronto fleeing Bitch!
Anyone know of a video like this for women’s barefoot shoes/ boots? if not, when I get my year round seasonal collection, maybe I’ll have to do one.
What about nails and glass VP? I live in a semi-dirty city. Is Thailand not grimmey?
Now I can too say you are not alone. Have broken my ankle. Amazing how fast things can go wrong. Life lesson
1:58.11 800m for HS region championships this week! Had a lot of fun and came away with the victory, on to state next week. Going to be my first triple ever so I’m a little nervous but I think I’m ready
I am new to your channel and I really find your videos inspirational. I notice you wear garden gloves while gardening. For me not wearing garden gloves and gardening barefoot makes me connect so much more to the nature. I know most people don’t like soil under their finger (or toe) nails, but I in a way like it. When the boundary of “me” and nature is in a way blended.
Im also trying to adapt to this minimal lifestyle. Bulky shoes and sitting on chairs for extensive periods caused me to have back and knee pains by age 24!! I adopted the barefoot lifestyle and started sitting on floor and now im back and knee PAIN FREE!!! glad to see others have added this lifestyle too
I’ve been wearing Vivo’s Tracker FG boot everyday for work for about 2 years. Incredibly soft now and comfortable. Still waterproof as they were on day 1. Great boot for harsher conditions; mud, water, etc. Barefoot shoes have helped my running, knee pain, back pain, etc….and Dr. Bronners also! Seems like it all comes with the territory once you find what improves the mind and body!
Not related but I like to know if you’re still enjoying your Mizuno Waveknit R2?
Hope you have a speedy recovery!!!
I’ve been wearing Merrill Barefoot Pace Glove shoes for years, but they don’t make that style anymore. Now I just scoure ebay and the thrift stores hoping to find some. They really are amazing shoes… they remind me of my younger years growing up in California where I never wore shoes unless I had to!
I love your videos so much. You make me laugh every time. I just bought minimalist shoes this summer and I love them. I can’t go back to padded shoes now they hurt!
You’re so weird… I think you’ll take that as a compliment. Very, very weird.
For a second there, I was thinking that Seth was saying 99 miles is too much for a shoe!!
But, I realise that he is saying that that Adios is a racing shoe, not a training shoe…
Panic over I am on the same page:)
I love my Adidas Boston and Adios (for races and faster runs)
What should a person with flat feet and all the associated problems do? What do you suggest?
Thank god I don’t have to return my pretty converse sneakers that I just bought. I’ve been reading its reviews that it doesn’t have arch support, it will damage the feet yada yada but I felt just comfortable when I wore n it fits well too. I was just scared what if afterwards I feel pain n I can’t even return it. But you made such valid points. Thanks:D
8:55 wise words that must be underlined:
1) do not rely on external props to fix your postural problem, use your muscles.
2) if you have one, don’t go from 100% external support to 0%: adopt a progressive overload approach to let your body adapt safely.
This week I recently started feeling some pain in my big toe. I think I have turf toe if you know what that is can u give me some tips on how to get rid of it. Thanks
If your going walking on trails or dirt roads and like shoes like this than try Merrill trail gloves.
The Vivo shoes tend to have the soles dry out after a few years, then they crack, and are no good. Customer service could Not be bothered to help in any real way. I was not asking for a pair of shoes free but merely answers as to why two pairs of pricey shoes failed and other shoes, such as my Adidas Gazelle, etc, while worn out, were still in wearable condition. Vivo, for the prices they charge, could at least offer resole service, but do not. Vivo has a great concept, but their customer service flops. Thank you for posting this comparison, I will look at some of the other brands reviewed.
QoD: happy to report that I raced twice this weekend in my county champs in the UK and came away with two PBs so I’m very happy. I have to give some credit to you, Seth. Before my 1500m, I was getting so worked up in my head, going through the motions, and then it was the thought of you and your slogan that put a smile on my face and chilled me out. I had tried everything already but that seemed to be the thing that worked. Thanks, Seth and well done everyone. All the best
Thankful for your videos. With dan gone, I need someone to keep my raw food inspiration in check, as I’m only 6 months in. “Cooked food is a stiff up bitch” these are the quotes I need Lol.
I don’t know how I feel about this. I have flat feet and when I wear flat shoes my legs and are in pain. Should I wear different with shoes with different arch support every other day?
I got a pair of beach shoes today. Hope they last as long as yours.
I enjoyed your video. I’ve wanted to try barefoot shoes for a while now. I’ve messed up my feet because of the type of work I did. 30+ years of squatting with one foot flat and one foot bent. As a result I have a bunion on one foot and hammer toes on the other. The foot with the hammer toes were always gripping trying to keep my balance. So, shoes don’t fit me right. My left foot points left and my right foot points right. Bunions. I have shoes with a wide toe box but my little toes always hits the side of the shoe. So, bunion on one side of the foot and little toe hits on the other. My question is “can you recommend a shoe that had a wide toe box that can help. I would walk barefoot but my feet are very sensitive due to the years of wearing shoes. I want a shoe that is minimalist zero rise. Recommendations? I don’t care if it’s Howard the duck look. I think my only recourse is sandals but my feet are embarrassing, too me anyway.
They have a lot of this kind of shoes in thailand or buy a japanese tabi shoes… or you will wear slippers most of the time
this video changed my whole perception of what i was doing holy crap youre awesome
Would this be good with someone who has a mortons neuroma or should I stay away from this
14 miles with a 1:53 half marathon time. It was hot, and I was tired but glad I stuck with it.
I have two adizero and i have over 300 miles on each and they are still good for another 100 miles. If you are putting a maximum of 50 miles per shoe then you need two shoes for a 100 miler:)
Verdict after using these a while?
Last trip I went on, I only had one pair of nice Nike shoes. They were great for almost everything but there were a couple hostel showers and beaches where I wish I had a something on.
Definitely planning to have something for the next trip.
