I used to have knee issues when I ran, until switching to these. They may look a lil goofy sometimes cause the toes are wide and there’s no heel, but your feet will thank you so hard.
For a couple years I tried various barefoot-style shoes and sandals for every day life, except I'd often find myself still foot-striking as if I were wearing a regular structured shoe, which meant pain in new places
But lately I've just ditched the footwear altogether, hobbit style
(Not when in public/sidewalks/stores)
Now my feet seem to feel better generally, I'm becoming a bit tougher when stepping on gravel and painful stuff underfoot
But especially like the primal ancient sense of the whole thing
My goal is to be the happiest old man I can be, and thinking this way also makes me take better care of my body. If I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself what will be a cooler story to tell grandkids, and that seems to steer me in the right direction.
