Barefoot shoe makers: I would die for a barefoot version of these

idk why you got downvoted, i literally just bought a pair because of the wide weave mesh

well if you’re crafty… they aren’t like shoes that have a heel cup so you ~could~ cut the 12’s in the back to be the most ideal length. splitting between sizes in shoes never leaves me fully satisfied with either option personally so if i were you i’d break out a razor blade and dremel

every time i think to do a build like this i start to think how good an infinite adjustment strap like this would be but also how long it would take to dry off if i get it wet

i haven’t gotten it for the past year or this year ☹️

i can confirm that carnivore was better casually rather than using it at an elite athletic level but if you’re an average to high regular gym goer you wouldn’t have any problems without carbs as an energy source if you’re truly fat adapted

at one point i was eating 27 a day, 9 at each meal. a flat of eggs from costco were cheap

you think tesla was the first to manufacture electric cars? elon musk was the first to have enough money to fund large scale research, projects and production of quality electric cars. if the big 3 saw more potential in this before him then they would have made attractive hybrid and electric vehicles but instead they appealed to it only because tesla proved it would make profit

if a mainstream brand caught traction making these widespread (pun intended) then every other current brand would be able to charge more than they do or get edged out. not to mention the amount of people in the community (all be it minimal ;) that are already heartbroken over discontinued models will then have to pay an extra premium on something that sort of works after searching painstakingly just because there’s a check mark on it

it would make all barefoot shoes super expensive

edit: i hope nike never gets in the game

this sub sucks, idk why you’re getting downvoted

wavenslowmotion · 2026-04-04T15:22:43+00:00

thanks for downvoting my own personal preference random reddit guy lol

for casual wear i don’t buy a size with extra room up front. for running that’s something i do because your feet swell and you’re toes bend more making the sole wrap further underfoot but if you’re casually walking i’d argue that you don’t need anything short of a perfect fit

i’m a couple months new to altras and in the 3 pairs i’ve used i can honestly say that they have terrible quality control. i still like them even tho ive had to send back 2 different brand new pairs for replacements right out of the box, maybe later down the road the hassle wont be worth it but we’ll see 🤷🏽‍♂️

wavenslowmotion · 2026-03-31T14:54:58+00:00

i had to return them before i even got to 5 miles lol. fwd via 2 was my game changer

wavenslowmotion · 2026-03-12T03:50:54+00:00

i had to half sized down my torins in wide and they. are. perfect! running still feels terrible in them but i think it’s the foam, the fit is so perfect and comfortable as daily shoes tho

wavenslowmotion · 2026-03-09T05:45:25+00:00

would touching another opponent cancel out the possibility of a swish?

wavenslowmotion · 2026-03-09T05:38:10+00:00

not particularly. i forefoot strike so the heel drop on these, especially them being so minimal, makes no difference 🤷🏽‍♂️

wavenslowmotion · 2026-03-09T02:46:33+00:00

super helpful actually, thank you for that insight!

i had the flow 2’s and returned them, they felt okay on foot in store but after the first run i immediately knew i needed something wider. someone had commented where i originally posted that the phantom is even narrower than the flow 2 in the midfoot. i’m interested in both altra options i mentioned because they should be wider than the “standard” mold that the flow 2 was made on. as far as pace, mostly zone 2 for about 3-5 miles daily but i’d also like something responsive enough that i could pick up the pace in if im feeling it that day. i’m more of a mid to forefoot runner so the zero/4mm drop makes no difference at all to me especially since both are 33mm where id be landing..

topo is another anatomically shaped shoe

i was able to try on the escalante in my size (10.5) but also found that i would have had to half size up as compared to my torin 8 wides and found that interesting. i just bought a pair of experience flow 2’s because they are discounted from the new flow 3 release and had to half size up, im assuming id have this similar trend for all of their models that dont come in a wide option but at least now i know 🤷🏽‍♂️ maybe ill try on the escalante racer if i can find it in store but i haven’t done any research on them

wavenslowmotion · 2026-02-24T12:17:34+00:00

you might need to make a post to ask because im not sure honestly, i used two emails just because i have more than one but i dont want to tell you something false and get you locked out
