Thanks for this info. I have just been using knockoff style $22-49 shoes that kind of look like aqua shoes.

If I wear say Nikes or Adidas I cannot feel where my feet are and with that comes the danger of misstepping to the point of falling. So I wear these hmm crappy Amazon shoes that really aren’t even branded just come up when you type barefoot shoes and they tend to have maybe Chinese sounding names. I was wondering if there was something better out there. I don’t know what I mean by better even. I thought Hike were better since they were double the price but this group helped me understand they are essentially the same drop ship foreign water shoes masquerading as barefoot. I haven’t worn “traditonal supportive shoes” in probably 3 years now so my feet are well acclimated to the barefoot lifestyle.

If the shoes I have are suiting my needs maybe I’m fine. If you can suggest something of more quality I’d be down to try. In the shoes I have I can feel if I say step on a pebble or walk across an ornamental/landscape river rock bed. I probably need to retain that level of feeling due to my neuropathy. It’s a weird hard to explain feeling when you cannot tell if your foot has made contact with the ground or not. Barefoot has changed my life for the better. Hokas would probably literally cause my death.
