One week in barefoot sandals || Decathlon Bivouac Sandals Trek 500 

Hey, guys really stoked to have found these sandals and saved my feet for the few days of summer! Also, I was a little under the weather when I filmed the second part of this review so apologies for sounding a little unenthusiastic and robotic. 😊 The Sandals - www.decathlon.co.uk/p/bivouac-sandals-trek-500/_/R-p-174331

I have the Xero ztrek. They are a little more expensive, but they are great. Wide toe box, and just a thin piece of rubber to protect from sharp objects. Thanks for this review.

Good review, thanks for showing us these sandals. I make them homemade and I am surprised to discover them in sports stores. I'll have to try them!

I like Decathalon I’ve got all my fitness gear from there

Just had mine come through today - all down to your review !

Haha spotted the wristband the shoes come with. I did exactly the same with mine 😅

Awesome. Iv had the Xero Z-trek in my basket for a month now but can't bring myself to make the purchase due to the price vs estimated use of the things. I wasn't aware of these Decathlon variants until I saw this video. Perfect price for a sandal I might use 4 weeks in the year. Thanks for that.

Excellent vid as always Mr White, 💪

Here in Brazil they are out of stock for this sandal. Would love to try.

Tried these and they are very narrow for people used to minimalist footwear Best spending a bit extra on a genuine baref6brand Wildsoles are UK made and designed if you're interested. Hoping get some soon

Earth runners sandals for me. Luckily my feet are small enough to wear the kids version so cheaper. The decathlon ones look good though!

That's a good find because most brands are stupidly expensive and it's hard to justify. Having said that I wouldn't fit in these as I wear 42s which are normally a bit long but I need 110mm width. I might try the suggestion below for home made xeros as xero shoes are the best I've ever found but expensive for me.

I love this pair of sandals... light weight... although not very sturdy but good for walking...

I would say I really like them, but I think the toe strap is too far forward. They aren't secure enough for a long hike, especially over rougher terrain. I find that if I curl my toes theres a risk they'll just slip out. I don't know why the strap is over the toe rather than over the knuckle, where I'd expect. I've not worn them since getting some Merrell Kahuna IIIs.

pretty tanned for living in the UK

I find the protruding portion at the back is slightly annoying when it hits the heel. They should have just made the back of the sandals flat like the front. Thinking of filing it down.

I have a pair of those, and for me they're just fine regarding the size, straps, etc. The only problem is that I can't wear them for mid/long walks because they hurt. And it's not due to the thin and flexible sole, that's ok (that's what I was looking for in the first place), but for the fact that some dumbass thought it would be a good idea to put a rough surface on the upper side, just where it contacts the feet. It's like walking on a sand paper. Very clever, yes sir... Since they're very affordable I decided to make an experiment and I sanded the surface to smoothen it, but it didn't work. Now I can't return them, of course, but at this price is not a big problem, I can still use them when I know I'm not going to walk too much.

Damn, Pete! I can't be first when you upload at 2am in the states!🤣

I bought this sandals, and i got blisters on my little fingers

I am thinking about buying these I have narrow feet so they may be perfect

They look like they do have some heel rise

I think you should get one size bigger. I got one size bigger and its more comfy

Unfortunately they are super slippery on wet wooden floor and not good on long walks as it starts hurting the end of my toes.

I'm feel much better barefoot ! 😄

In the shot at 5:14 both your sandals seem to be too large for your feet. I presume that is so that your toes fit underneath the strap. However, that seems to squish both your little toes by the strap that isn't in the right place in relation to your toes.

How did I not know they do barefoot sandals??? 🧐

hallo. am planning to buy these for a 1100 km bike touring trip. would u recommend them?

The heel looks a bit high... that cannot be zero drop or am I mistaken?

No, they aren't zero drop and they aren't wide in haf. Have a nice life.

Would you say these could be suitable for cycling in?

I apologise for my last comment Pete because I thought you deleted my comment but what’s been happening to me whenever I post a comment with a link RU-vid deletes it… As for the sandals, I’m considering purchasing EarthRunners but they are expensive and I’m not really sure. I’m also looking for warm, barefoot men’s slippers which aren’t made from wool, to avoid silverfish or clothes moths destroying them but I can’t see any options out there, apart from some handmade leather options on Etsy.

Do you think they will hold up for walking within city in pavements?

Heye Pete! Are these sandals suitable for running?

Can you go swim while wearing these sandals or does it damage the straps?

健康的腳趾理論念👍

Do these sandals run true to size? Or should I size up or down?

Pretty fe et

I want to worship your feet so bad 🤤🦶🏼🙇🏽‍♂️

Hello Are these suitable for walking maybe 10 miles on cycles paths?
