Do any of you wear barefoot shoes? I bought into the hype and bought some Vivobarefoot running shoes over a year ago. It took a while to get used to, but I am now on my second pair and cannot imagine running or working out in anything else. I also bought some of their trail running shoes and just did a 12 mile in and out with 4800 feet elevation gain with no problem. Also did a 5.5 mile hike with a 45 pound load, no problem. I live in Texas where it’s hot enough for sandals most of the year, so I frequently wear Earth Runner sandals when not at work, and I bought a pair of Rhizal loafers to wear at work. I barely wear my cowboy boots (have a few pairs, some very nice) anymore because I’ve gotten so used to the comfort of the wide toe boxes and zero drop.
