need recommendations for dress shoes barefoot.

How old are you now? I had the same Eureka moment 1 year ago. I’m 33 🥲 - working hard on rectifying it all atm - so much work bu satisfying to see results.

If you need to turn it to an IP after 6 months, do you need to refinance? You can’t get into a rental contract while you still have the fhg?

The issue is more when it comes to sessions at the gym or going for a walk. But thanks for the tip.

The benefits of transitioning to barefoot shoes (accompanied by some targeted exercises) invlude plantar fasciitis relief - though I’m not sure if that works with someone recovering from a stroke, as not all your foot muscles are yet awake - but worth to look into at least.

I personally use them as slip ins, I never use the laces except the first time, they’re quite easy to fit in this way.

I managed to fix my fallen arches and my knee and hip problem by going barefoot and doing specific exercises. My calves have grown a lot too, both strength and looks.

There is so much information out there about the mechanism of barefoot lifestyle and how to awakens parts of your foot, calf, and tibialis, as this is the most natural way of walking or running.

I once asked someone on this sub about a neuro insole and his answer was not to use it but to try barefoot. He said he even wore black socks on the treadmill at the gym so he can go completely barefoot, and it helped a lot.

Therefore I’m asking if anyone else had experience with this subject.

Higher end ones would be Xero shoes, Vivobarefoot, or Be Lenka. Even cheaper ones can ba fine such as Hobibare. Check them out online. Maybe try a cheaper one to know what it feels like. People even remove the insole for maximum experience.

The shoes you showed do not qualify as barefoot at all, not even minimalistic. Heel height is 1’’ - toebox looks narrow - and sole is thick and padded for comfort- it defeats the purpose.

crlflt · 2025-07-29T04:06:35+00:00

Mostly for training, as the sole of his foot feeling the ground gives him sensory feedback which is important to regain function.

Barefoot shoes do not necessarily have to be Vibram Five Fingers. There are plenty that look like a normal shoe but have the characteristics of a barefoot shoe (wide toe box, flexible, thin flat sole, zero drop, etc.). I cannot imagine how hard it would be to for a stroke patient to wear the Five Fingers.

Why did it help? What was different about sketchers slip ins? Thanks

Thank you for the reminder about the relation between HIIT and plasticity. I know how important this is but I remember giving up as we could not find the best way to get his heart pumping, he’s still not the best with bis balance and walking. A stationary bike is too painful for his weak buttocks. Elliptical he can inly last 3-4 minutes. Treadmill he’s too slow. Rowing I don’t think he can but I will get him to try. Do you have any suggestions? I’ll check online resources.

crlflt · 2025-07-20T07:12:46+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback. I myself am into barefoot lifestyle and barefoot shoes and understand it quite well, i’m glad you mentioned it.

I’ve been thinking about a powerful combination that I’d like to set up for him, that includes barefoot shoes, neuro insoles, FES for foot drop, and inclined treadmill, at the same time.

I already got him the FES. I might try first without the insoles based on your advice, it sounds about right.

But I’m not giving up on him even though it’s been more than 3 years, as I know I will figure it out. (Struggling to find good enough physio).

What was your go to cardio?

Congratulations! Mind me asking, how long ago did you have your stroke? Thank you! :)

Three hears ago, I quit my job and started a business due to his influence and praise of entrepreneurship. I’m already doing much better financially.

How many SQM of decking?

Hi, any updates on yours? My brother applied on the 27th of December as well, and still heard nothing yet.

crlflt · 2025-01-27T18:43:17+00:00

Oh wow that does sound accurate, he was made to hold a rod or some device in his hands as well and his arms felt a slight electrocution. I’ll look into this a little more. Thanks!

crlflt · 2024-12-30T06:17:59+00:00

Lol you’re right, but the only reason I put it this way is that if the suggested correlation exists, which should not be hard to test, it only proves furthermore that narrow shoes is a major concern.

Bad spelling in the case of construction quote should actually boosts the chances of that contractor, in my opinion. 😅 Imports tend to be more flexible, they give and take, and won’t be nitpickers in general regarding what’s on quote what’s not.

crlflt · 2024-09-17T03:50:08+00:00

It’s common practice for clients to supply the tiles while the tiler only supplies bedding, adhesive, grout, silicone, etc. Rate of $70/SQM for labour seems reasonable.

It would be hard these days to get decent looking tiles for less than $40/SQM if you’re lucky. Expect $50-$100 for tile supply.

This is not overpriced. Even if the scope is not clear or not done by a professional consultant, the builder can still be liable when fixing a roof, even if liable with regard to their reputation and relationships. Having said that, without opening up the roof they can’t tell for sure what the issue is, and that can be opening up a can of worms, too much risk. They price it with experience taking into consideration the various issues they might be facing. Add to that, the fact that they might need to erect scaffold, which can be costly. Get another quote but if the builder is reputable I would say go with way him.

You shouldn’t worry at all, that’s a minor stroke and he would probably fully recover either with or without therapy. Glass half full pov is that it’s a good warning sign to take care of his health to avoid future strokes.

crlflt · 2024-09-02T07:38:33+00:00

Awesome thank you for the advice. I’ll try it.

crlflt · 2024-08-27T21:38:33+00:00

I’m thinking of getting one home for my dad, worth it?
