It's funny that shoes that are supposed to give you the feel of being barefoot are so expensive, because being barefoot is free.

@tc59932 3 года назад

One reason for the high price comparded to traditional shoes is economies of scale. As you sell (and thus produce) more products, you spread the cost of production over a larger amount of units, thus have lower cost per unit, and can charge a much lower price as a result. It's a huge competitive advantage for massive companies like Amazon, and thus Nike and similar.

You can wash the fivefingers, no need for socks (unless it's below 10 degrees or so). I can also recommend trying out Joe Nimble, which has an ever wider toe box than the Vivos.

I have done that when I had multiple plantar warts as it was the only way I could walk without terrible pain. But it gets even more stinky. At least I can (and do) machine wash my vibrams.

@josephg.3370 5 лет назад

I agree that toe shoes and socks are pain to put on and off but the comfort and dexterity are unbeatable and that makes them my personal favorites over other minimalists brands I've had.

@thibautnoah2599 5 лет назад

The vibram are good for a lot of things except for hiit workouts depending on the form of your feet. They're designed to be generic so... Also they don't stink, you're supposed to wash them every week... obviously if you don't they will stink very much :D

@serenmx2 6 лет назад

For anyone interested the vivo primus that are £110 look incredibly similar to the new balance minimus shoes which I have and bought new for £26. They're quite thin, lightweight yet supportive, have a zero drop sole design and are great in my experience for running and weight training. They also appear to be lasting longer than feiyues I've had in the past.

Hey Tom, great video! Great break down on each shoe. I'm a big shoe/sneaker head. Been watching your videos for a while and your well spoken and speak from experience. Great qualities in a RU-vidr. My personal favorite minimalist shoes are the Merrells typically in the "bare access" or "trail glove" lines. Take care buddy

@noiseworks 5 лет назад

@borntobewild8101 6 лет назад

I love my vibram 5 fingers. The feel and proprioception are almost on par with being bare. I only wear them when I'm working on the gym floor and lower body work outs. The rest of my workouts i like to do bare foot.

@chrisogrady28 5 лет назад

I love how fivefingers look, the shape of the foot is a bioengineering marvel and you appreciate it more and more as time goes on. Usually wear toe socks everyday anyway regardless of which shoes I’m wearing, and putting on a pair of vibrams is still faster than a normal laced shoe anyway. Currently using the V-Runs for most things (including running obviously) and considering some V-Trains for teaching BodyAttack classes to stop wearing out the runs with the lateral movement.

@marcusDoublet 5 лет назад

Love both my Feiyue and 5fingers, I personally dont have a problem at all putting the 5fingers on, the more you use toe shoes you get used to fit them on directly. I have a pair of 5fingers classic I can put on without using my hands,, just slip in. So it takes practice!

@tomalol9772 6 лет назад

I currently use Lems primal for training/ everyday wear and I like them. Quality seems pretty solid for the price point, they're pretty comfy and look quite good. In the mid-range price point in comparison to Vivo's. They're worth checking out!

@deniserotulun5579 3 года назад

The feiyue with good insoles becomes into something like an evolved pokemon (Slowbro, and the insoles are shellder biting it's tail), it compensates the slack on the fitment area giving it an overall stability state

@rydakule Год назад

I read this comment and immediately pulled my insoles out of my expensive new balance i no longer wear and threw them in my feiyues. Immediately made them fit better and was a complete game changer for me. Cheers for the tip!

@jphillips9644 5 лет назад

Vivos are my choice pricey but they hold up to alot of abuse. I used to wear merrell trail gloves but the generations after 2 have a tiny toe box and the mesh blows out in a couple of weeks. The vapor gloves are amazing but don't last very long

@epodcam 5 лет назад

Wore my fivefingers till they fell apart which took a good few years, I like the way they look, mine had the strap and not the laces though. Wish i'd worn socks with them too. The smell is bad. Ended up settling on the nikes for everyday use but tend to take them off when squatting etc.

@galain 5 лет назад

Vivobarefoot are one of the few minimalist shoe companies that actually make shoes for wide feet. Lems are another. I split my Merrel Vapor Gloves inside of 5 weeks and my Feiyues (which I loved) didn't last a month.

@gilfhunter42069 5 лет назад

The Number after the Nike Free (such as 4.0) doesn't specify the Millimeters between the ground and your feet, it's just that 1.0 is nearest to the ground. There is nothing above 5.0. Also, the stability of a shoe doesn't depend on it's sole, it's about the upper.

@Malectrics 6 лет назад

For about 2 years now i use merell vapor glove shoes for training in the gym. I think are a good compromise between barefoot feeling and stability. When training at home i prefer being barefoot. Sadly most gyms dont allow that.

@matrhein 2 года назад

For light barefoot running I love the Shamma Warrior maximus sandals, since the are closer to barefoot than even the fivefingers in terms of toe movement and gripping the ground. While I am also one of those weirdos enjoying to wear the conversation-starting toe schoss (the description of putting them on was accurate, btw), a nice middle ground between running sandals and barefoot shoes are Xero shoes. The walking and running feel is very close to the vivobf experience without the clapping sound the latter will produce every now and then.

@MKGPerformance 5 лет назад

Do the Feiyue work your feet muscles well???

@buddhamack1491 5 лет назад

If you have very wide feet like I do then you will struggle to find minimal shoes that fit. Vivo barefoot are good, though they cost a lot and the thin mesh parts don't hold up over time. They always fail right where the toes bend as it causes a pinch point that weakens the mesh. Vibram 5 fingers are good, though the quality of the glue they use seems to have dropped off as I've had some separation in certain areas, but the shoes last a long time. You tend to need a couple of pairs to allow them to dry out fully after wearing them or they can get a bit smelly, but you can also throw them in the wash.

@doughoward3668 4 года назад

Great review, not sure how you dropped a 4 star on the cheapo shoe. I recommend trying a Merrell, either the bare access, trail gloves, or vapor gloves. These are superior minimalist shoes. Great support, light weight, looks great, decent quality, comfortable and reasonably priced.

The first two iterations of the trail glove were awesome minimalist shoes, the new ones are overbuilt and not minimalist. At least the vapor glove is a quality minimalist shoe. Just got a pair of Primus FG and they are great so far, minimal, great traction, and good looking. My most used minimalist shoes are my Shamma Sandals can't beat a completely open toe box.

Brian McCullough barefoot like shoes, like the vivo and xero range are all made to be wide. They claim the thin sole allows your toes to grip the ground, and when they do that your feet widen. So to be true barefoot they also have to allow your toes room to spread.
