Amazing experience with barefoot shoes for intense walking
Amazing experience with barefoot shoes for intense walking
Hi all
I'm using barefoot shoes for a few years now, and was amazed by how comfortable they are for me.
I remember each time when buying new shoes that I would have blisters and pain for at least two weeks.
When I bought barefoot shoes, I expected to need a few months to get adjusted to them. But they felt comfortable from the very beginning! (maybe because I used to walk on my toes during my childhood, even got support soles for that, but didn't really help)
More recently, I participated in a 100km within 24h walk. I expected to fail because it was the first time I was participating in a challenge like this, but I made it!
Obviously I was tired and the last part was quite difficult still. But I was amazed that I managed to walk for more the first 50km without any discomfort or blisters.

What kind are you using?
I use vivobarefoot gobi 3.
I’m using them for about 3 years and the bottom is wearing down, but maybe that’s normal since I use them for everything. Work, walking, running, hiking.
I’m not sure what I should expect. In terms of comfort and looks, I think they are great. But I suppose it would be even better if they were more durable.
