Yeah, I was looking into barefoot shoes even before and the current shoes (the ones I linked) are sold as “barefoot” shoes. Zero drop ftw. But in my experience, the drop itself was secondary to the wide toebox factor.
Of course, actually walking without any shoes is superior, and I try to practice it whenever possible.
I still haven’t solved the problem of boots. Like if it’s winter, rainy, muddy—I don’t want to walk barefoot or in a classic breathable “barefoot” shoe. This is something I need to look into.
Funny thing is, even if you buy them larger, they are still insufficiently wide. Toes spread out pretty wide, at least mine do.
I don’t know what it is, it’s absurd to me that something like a shoe, something that almost everyone in the world uses, is mostly done wrong.
