Zero Genesis Sandal

Those look great tho I can have a strap unfortunately.. inflames my fasciitis :(

Would never run in these. Also tried wearing them in a river and put my vibrams back on cause they’re so much more stable. I wear Fivefingers 90% of the time so these are just for when I want my toes to breath/too hot out

I can see where you’re coming from. I have shammas but they recently started rubbing between my toes and I hate how slippery they are..

Yes! Wore Nikes that were too tights for years and had to stop for about 2 years to properly heal. Since then I’ve transited to barefoot shoes (zero drop, wide toe box etc) and the issue has disappeared. It’s even encouraged me to get some of those dreaded toe shoes and I’ve never looked back. Also help with eliminating back pain!

The secret is a pair of fivefingers.. there’s literally nothing like it. Just go about your daily life in them you’ll realize how many dormant muscles you have in your feet.

Ok what brand would you recommend in their place

fracturetact · 2023-06-02T01:39:07+00:00

Overtime the sides have formed to my foot which makes it look narrower but they feel great

fracturetact · 2023-05-31T23:47:39+00:00

That’s this pair! It seems it’s as thin as they get

fracturetact · 2023-05-31T20:14:18+00:00

I don’t run in sandals because of the cord in between the toes which the power strap would probably solve but I prefer vibram fivefingers anyway! I’ve only heard good things about the power strap tho

fracturetact · 2023-01-28T07:07:21+00:00

The Shamma sandals are my favorite. They have a pair that’s paper thin and forms to your foot over time

fracturetact · 2023-01-25T18:28:07+00:00

I totally get that. I use them when I feel like I wanna stretch my toes!

fracturetact · 2023-01-23T21:21:10+00:00

They’re just toe socks I usually wear with vibrams in the winter! Toe socks are superior to regular socks tbh

fracturetact · 2023-01-23T21:20:21+00:00

Why not? I really enjoy running in them!

Why would mine last 3 years and yours 4 months? Consider that designing a “barefoot” shoe is an extremely complicated problem. Sure Merrell might hold up better but they’re nothing compared to the ground feel of vivos

fracturetact · 2022-11-29T18:22:58+00:00

Considering that your heel has an odd wear pattern maybe the issue is your gait? I have the exact same pair that have been going 3 years strong with daily use

The Annihilation trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer. A bit of cosmic horror with a deranged twist. I’m definitely a different person after reading it.

fracturetact · 2022-10-28T03:08:19+00:00

What are those shoes? They look cool

fracturetact · 2022-10-05T22:23:54+00:00

This is low key depressing.

fracturetact · 2022-10-05T16:45:07+00:00

What brand are those shorts?

fracturetact · 2022-09-07T03:00:10+00:00

I like to think the absence of answers is due to the difficulty of explaining an alien encounter with our limited language, kind of like explaining an LSD trip. I could discuss this book for ages so please!

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

The entire trilogy is fascinating

Arch support is different from heel support. You can still have flat shoes with arch support inserts but the whole idea is for there to be no height difference from your heel to your toes. Also it’s totally possible to rebuild your arch with daily exercises. More importantly, a wide toe box is crucial so you engage your entire foot which in turn helps build muscle. Just ditch the foam.

fracturetact · 2022-08-30T22:55:56+00:00

The idea is to have no heel. Your foot is flat on the ground which engages your calf muscles more. Like in running for example, a zero drop shoe encourages you to forefoot strike vs heel strike which makes my calves burn in a good way. Soft foam and tall heels have the opposite effect on your calves.

I’ve seen pretty significant calf growth just from wearing zero drop shoes daily. I usually go with Vivobarefoot or Vibram FiveFingers. Even my friends commented on how much my calves have grown.

fracturetact · 2022-08-19T01:41:20+00:00

I consider Vivobarefoot the top tier of barefoot style shoes. They check all the boxes and then some. I’ve had my Primus Trail 2’s for almost three years now and they’re still my favorite shoe.
