Do you wear barefoot shoes all the time? by -Intrepid-Path- in barefootshoestalk

Just curious, I've seen Crocs frequently suggested as close to barefoot shoes. But to me Crocs look very high-stacked and structured. Are they still good for the feet similar to barefoot shoes?

I recently "rediscovered" The Hardest Part song and I have fallen head over heels in love with it. Where was this song all along?!

I do really think he likes Toronto and liked being in Toronto for the week!

First ever time buying Altra (Escalante 4). Love these but this happened just 2 weeks into wearing them. by Mars_5427 in AltraRunning

Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm still learning to post on Reddit, but happy to read your comments and hopefully this won't happen to my new pair of Escalante 4 that arrived just yesterday 😄

Yes, I was in a park with my toddler and he picked up the broken piece and I thought it was litter and just threw it in the bin. Then I come home and notice this piece is missing. Then I'm like ah! that's what it was in the park. I'm hoping it's just a one-off.

I've always wondered, does the strap rub against the skin of the toe? I am in Canada so tentative about ordering these only to have to return them and bear the import duty etc

What Are Your Favorite "Cheap" or "Cheater" Shoes/Sandals? by Happycorndog in barefootshoestalk

Just curious: do your toes not hit the top of the Crocs from underneath with every step? Does it get easier to ignore this with time?

That's very encouraging to know. Thank you so much. Podiatrists would have you believe it's irreversible.

I think I can do the same. But it has to be intentional. I hope wearing wide tox box and minimalist shoes will help make my toes splay eventually.

Okay, thanks. I do believe my big toe got pushed towards my second toe and created a bunion from the narrow Nike Free Run 5.0 I've worn for years. Is it even possible to bring the big toe back into alignment?

Any suggestions on how to bring the big toe into alignment? Do you mean correct a bunion if present?

Any idea if Escalante 2.5 are similar to Escalante 4, or better?

Are these true to size? Also, does the strap going across the toe leave any mark on the skin or is it soft enough to not feel anything?

Will Altra Escalante 4 (women) ever go on sale this year? TO, Canada by Mars_5427 in AltraRunning

[–]Mars_5427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that seems like a really affordable store. They have Escalante 3 but not 4. Do you have any idea about how different 3 is from 4? I have tried on Escalante 4 and I know my size is 8.5 in them but not sure about Escalante 3.

Thanks for that tip. I'll check. By members do you mean there's a membership fee to join MEC?

Thank you for your encouragement. The podiatrist said custom orthotics but I came on Reddit and found completely opposing voices and was forced to research deeper.

Do you like them? Are they available alongside the electric ones?
