I’ve been interested in the Birchburies and Carats, but I’m concerned about durability. For those prices in a dress shoe, you can get a very high quality shoe that is stitched sole and can be resoled. I’m assuming these cannot be resoled and I’ve had mixed experiences with barefoot shoes where they are only glued to the sole, not stitched. I’ve had brands where the adhesive falls apart in six months or less. I’d be interested to see you longer term review.
I bought a pair of those Feelbarefoot shoes and mine are much better made than the ones you show here. Everything is cut more cleanly, stitched better, the leather soles are at least twice as thick (took several wears to break in, etc. That is strange that the quality can vary that much. Sorry you had that experience.
The Turkish ones look much better but def look a little sus quality wise. I’m not super into barefoot shoes… I just want a regular shoe that has a toe box that is more similar to a barefoot toe box.
The problem with formal minimalist barefoot shoes is, that they always look like clown shoes. I prefer wider regular dress shoes and minimalist shoes in less formal circumstances.
That’s the way I’d go if you work in a more traditional work environment. No problem wearing whatever in your personal life, but you don’t want to stand out at work.
@@bmarlow1 Barefoot dress shoes are silly, though. I work in finance. If I wore these shoes, I’d probably end up in a conversation with HR about professional attire. I’m just being real here.
Though it might be ok if you wore socks like the guy in the video. But how could you wear socks if they’re supposed to be bearfoot shoes? That’s a bit confusing to me. 🤔
@@damnjustassignmeonecool. That doesn't make them silly. Shoes that squeeze your toes together that promote orthopedic issues in the name of fashion is what's silly
@@damnjustassignmeonethe very concept of barefoot shoes shouldn't make sense to you then. Shoes are literally the definition of not being barefoot The concept is to keep your feet as barefoot as possible, so your feet can move the way they're meant to move. All while keeping us safe from sharp objects, harder than natural surfaces and being socially acceptable in the modern world
