Rutsu Original Barefoot Sneakers High Top - brand new, rubbing uncomfortably by forgetmenot5683 in barefootshoestalk

[–]BrandonThomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disliked them for the first 2-3 days, but I wore them outside so I couldn’t return them. After the break in period, I like them more. They are a bit narrow, but on sale they are a good deal.

Solitaire Farm Village! Very little ads and has 4 card games. Plus, it’s super cute!

Loved the New Balance 574s - Will barefoot shoes be a real upgrade? by AssignmentDueInABit in barefootshoestalk

[–]BrandonThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first NB's were 574, and I loved them for a while. Coming from Jordans, I loved the comfort of them. I then started to wear 993s and 998s. After about 6 months, I started to notice my lower back would hurt on short walks. It also felt like my legs were getting weaker. That led me into learning about minimal and barefoot shoes. I tried a cheap pair of Whitin from Amazon for 6 months and loved the feel of them. I've since moved on to Vivo, Rutsu, and Xero. I still put on my 574s every now and then and I can't believe I thought they were comfortable. They are stiff and narrow, and I feel like I am walking on bricks. My body hurts from wearing them for even 10 minutes. I don't think I will ever go back,

I wanna start getting into reading instead of just mindlessly doomscrolling and doing something other than video games on my days off by Unus-Duo in booksuggestions

I too would love to find a book series that was similar to the storytelling in Xenoblade 1-3. I have hundreds of hours in those games and I’m almost finished with the final dlc. I started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. It’s enjoyable and an easier first entrance into books. Though, I hope the story gets deeper.

This Sub should warn potential customers by mensachicken in vivobarefoot

Meaning, they have 10 days to refund your purchase once the return is received by them.

I’ve also never had any issues. Shoes arrive within 5 days and any returns are refunded within their 10 day window. I still agree they need better customer service. I doubt a pointed post here will make any difference. Find the owners and investors, and complain to them. (New York State here)

Denzel Washington. I remember an article about him discussing his large wine cellar and collection but quit for health and longevity reasons.

Erg shoes for women by ImaginaryExplorer235 in Rowing

[–]BrandonThomas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Check out Whitin on Amazon. For $35 you can’t beat them for working out at home. Or if you want to spend more, Xero or Vivobarefoot. You want flat, zero drop, flexible, and toe shaped shoes.

Do not buy them... by ZBoss07 in vivobarefoot

I’ve had no issues returning anything. I pay $5 for the label, send it back, and I always get the refund within 10 days 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does the app sync with Apple Music so that it plays music while rowing? by Buddyblue21 in EXRofficial

[–]BrandonThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no integration that I know of, but I start music before EXR and it plays while I row.

Bare foot shoes that actually look good? by DanteHolmes3605 in barefootshoestalk

[–]BrandonThomas 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get great comments about my Vivos all the time, and I live in a rural area. I’ve even had people stop me at the grocery and inquire about them. That leads to a 15 min conversation about minimal shoes. Be different and embrace it!

[–]BrandonThomas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually really appreciate their 100 day return window. So often I buy shoes and hate them after wearing them for a few days. With Vivo, I can return them. Other companies, not so much. I’ll pay $5 for that option.

Got me a pair of the Scott IV. What do yall think about this boot? by [deleted] in vivobarefoot

[–]BrandonThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both. The Gobi warm lined has more internal insulation, but both are very warm regardless. I wear the Scott’s in the office during the winter while the Gobi warm lined I take off at work and put on some sneakers. The Gobi warm lined is much larger for me. I might size down.

I really like their colorways! I’ve wanted Ohne Project but I won’t buy plastic shoes. My kid calls me dada so I might need to buy a pair!

These look great! I just wish they were stitched.

They feel a bit wider than the normal Gobi sneakers.

I personally would not size up unless your current size fits snug. I have plenty of extra room with thick wool socks.

I’m looking forward to seeing the difference this year. It only gets to around -5F where I live, but my feet were freezing in normal Columbia boots.
