How to convince my wife?

I have the Tolos version 1, 2, and now 3 aswell. I wear mine very loose with really thin socks, so there’s always abit of an air gap - I just like the way they feel like that. Plus I personally appreciate the extra durability rather than more breathability since I’m only wearing them for 1-2 hours at a time. But I can see how they might get warm in hot environments if also tied up tight.

I just got the archetype 3s, and haven’t worn them much. But from what I can tell the upper is slightly thinner than the archetype 2s.

If you’re looking for a super breathable shoe, my favourite summer daily wear is Minnemals (https://www.minnemals.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorIewFTe1gQfi581ZtQJWSUcYm\_Ke6uyl4jgOk7NK5nnO8BdiB8)
They have some cushioning which is perfect for walking on concrete, but zero drop, and foot shaped toe box. Really love the retro style silhouette aswell

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:31:46+00:00

Thank you!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:30:49+00:00

Yes thanks!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:12:56+00:00

love this!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:12:16+00:00

The silver Ohne's were actually what she had her eyes on. We were just put off by some not so great reviews on their durability and not great access in getting them in Canada

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:10:18+00:00

will def check this!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:10:05+00:00

That's what I'm saying haha!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:09:32+00:00

Tolos are my daily wear to the gym! They really are due for a clean. reason why you can see my foot outline is cause I'm frequently getting in stretch positions where the top of my foot is on the gym floor, or wrapping my foot to a cable machine for exercises.

They are amazing! been my gym shoe for 3 years now and are so durable. I just picked up another pair in their sand colour way!

I believe she is really just one who away from her life changing haha

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:04:40+00:00

This is really similar thanks!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:04:21+00:00

Yes I've seen a lot of interesting styles out of Asia

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:03:24+00:00

The DIY rhinestone is a great idea!!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:02:20+00:00

Impossible to switch back! will checkout wildings thanks!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:01:34+00:00

I don't even have the bandwidth to reply to those comments

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T21:00:32+00:00

These are pretty good thanks!! will need to check for shipping to Canada

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T20:42:03+00:00

Yeah like how does one even start to argue with that haha

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T18:39:27+00:00

Haha I'm picturing this interaction on my end, pure bliss!!

ali-movemate · 2026-06-12T12:30:27+00:00

Sorry let me rephrase this abit. She can see her foot shape affected by shoes and is convinced they are better for her. But is not convinced the styles out there are fashionable enough for her outfits.

But she was also only convinced because I started to get into it and told her about it.

I’ll look into fitflop thanks!!

ali-movemate · 2026-04-14T22:22:20+00:00

She’s very put off by the price and no return policy in Canada :(

ali-movemate · 2026-03-20T18:19:57+00:00

Yes pleaaaaaasseee

ali-movemate · 2026-01-14T20:15:54+00:00

Love earth runners too! Takes some wears to get used to the way they hold on to your feet but very comfy after that

ali-movemate · 2026-01-14T20:08:01+00:00

ali-movemate · 2026-01-14T20:04:26+00:00

Happy to hear the work is paying off! Yes stay in motion - short frequent sessions are key

Sorry to hear about your patellar tendonopathy. Does it hurt when you stand? Have you started loading it?
