Barefoot Shoes CHANGED MY LIFE (As an unathletic nerd)

In this video, I share my personal journey into barefoot shoes (AKA minimalist shoes) and how they have transformed my feet and overall fitness routine as an unathletic nerd. After experiencing constant foot pain, knee pain, and back pain while wearing traditional cushioned shoes, I discovered the benefits of minimalist footwear and decided to give it a try. I started with a pair of Vivobarefoot Primus Lites and soon realized that my feet had been trying to tell me something all along. While the transition was challenging at first, I persevered and now have stronger, more defined calves, thicker callouses, and no more foot pain. If you're someone with wide feet or looking to try something new in your fitness routine, I highly recommend giving barefoot shoes a try.

I have been interested in barefoot shoes for a long time and its nice to finally see the opinion of someone who isnt sporty and wants these shoes for everyday use.

danm, this come from a "normal" human rather than some big brand or reviewers make it look even more legit. Keep up the work!

[thomasandrews]

I AM super active, since switching to barefoot shoes, just WALKING feels SO GOOD!! Like a combo of a stretch and a foot massage!! Xero offers GREAT value and frequently have serious sales!!

I have those same black shoes. I have problem with my left foot called a Moreton's neuroma. What happens is that a nerve gets inflamed, and it feels like I am being stabbed with a knife. A podiatrist gave me an orthotic pad to put in my shoe, and that works, but the pad itself becomes uncomfortable after waking on it for a while. But with the barefoot shoes, I don't need the pad because my foot can spread out sideways. I can walk all day without a problem. I asked a podiatrist once (a different one) what she thought about minimalist shoes, and she was horrified. "You need support, blah, blah." But what do they know? The shoes fixed my problem, so I am happy. I've also never liked the feeling of my big toe being squashed with regular shoes.

Same as you. Sedentary nerd. Sore feet when standing around. I had flat feet too. I never ran. I started wearing Vibram FiveFingers about twelve years ago. Within six months I noticed that I had arches. I didn't start running until three years ago and I now love it. Never going back! I have a few pairs of Vivobarefoot shoes for when it's wet.

This video is how every video should: Clear, practical, down to the point, informative. Thank you so much.
I was recommended another shoe video, and before you know it I watched like 3 or 4 of them from different sources. Yours is the one that convinced me to try it out; I just ordered 2 pairs, let's see what happens.

This video is so refreshing, it’s awesome to see someone who started wearing barefoot shoes for the same reason I am looking into them. Thank you so much for this video

[Nestor_Suarez]

I'm like you!!
My turning point was realizing that no matter what shoe I bought, it felt like my toes never had enough space at the end of the day. Like shoes not having the foot shape. Incredible, right?
Felt that for many years but I was not able to verbalize it until a video of wide toe box shoes showed up on my feed. And bam! Barefoot shoes!

Bought my first pair or barefoot shoes 45 days ago. First 2 weeks my feet were tired, by just walking my dog a few blocks, because I have never used those muscles before!
Nos I'm walking more than ever!
And 2 weeks ago I realized that thanks to the heel pain of the first weeks, I'm not heel striking anymore! And most importantly, without thinking about it!

Hello fellow nerd!
I'm glad to finally find someone else who also got into barefoot shoes just for everyday wear and not for athletic reasons. I've got really flat feet and bunions so looking for wide shoes were always a struggle until I heard of barefoot shoes. Like you, my step count also went up when I started wearing barefoot shoes and I think it's because I don't overstride anymore so I have smaller and more steps but also faster walking without putting too much effort. I only set my daily step count to 2500/day which I barely even reach before haha. I've been hitting at least 5000/day straight for the past week and I didn't really change much on my daily routine aside from the shoes... or not consciously at least.

I completely forgot to checkout ebay before buying my Vivos so I kinda spent a lot for my first pair (brandnew) but I got lucky and got the size that fits me well. Whew. I'll probably check out ebay the next time around for my next pair. 😅

[yannr.]

Same here! I'm a mid-40 homebody with an office job. Transitioned to barefoot shoes about 3 months ago, from 0 to 100%. I would never go back. And I really started to enjoy walking long distances. It's fun! There are days I have to wear my formal leather shoes at work. Man, this narrow shoeshape looks sick and ugly to me now! And it feels sick, too.

[Hereatthehouse]

I’ve been wearing mine for one week now and I absolutely love them

[rockysanify]

Exactly the video I was looking for, I usually can walk for 10 kms without and pain in arch and heel area, but for the last 7 months, have been getting high pain in arch and heels and been trying arched insoles, but still had pain. Only yesterday came to know about the barefoot shoes and this video exactly shows from a normal person POV instead of trainers.

[cbn]

Thank you for the great video. I ordered my first pair 2 days ago.

[nowster]

As you say in the video you do have to re-learn how to walk to avoid hurting yourself. Adopting a more cat-like tread, not landing hard on the heel, but more mid-foot or forefoot.

[alexanderstevens]

That’s interesting you started using those muscles that were under utilised just from changing shoes, good job man

[debnn]

Merrills work fine for my narrow foot. Now to try them outdoor .! 😅

[alidalavezzari]

Good video. I want for everyday use too. I have fascite plantar and only with barefoot I fill very much less pain. I tray to find the shoes to buy but I am in transition and I have very wide toe. It is pain but it is a no go back foe me: barefoot is the best solution.

[YuriTarted]

Just bought the JJF shoes $200...jesus christ man. These shoes better last a year. I bought two bearfoot shoes last year and they each lasted 6 months.

[axlcrush]

1:25 lol I came to the same revelation. I was reminded of the fat and food pyramid lie and how we know now sugar and refined carbs to be the problem.

[mikeregan]

Part of the barefoot rabbit hole is discovering that many brands are lacking in toe box width. Think extra wide when purchasing a first pair so that your toes have enough room to spread especially on the pinkie side.
