    First impression GEA Waldviertler Jaga Flex

    I'm a hiker and walker. Not a runner. I started running barefoot maybe 10 years ago, but it doesn't work for me. To much ice-fighting growel everywhere left from the winter in summer. So I never really got to the point where I could run barefoot for a longer distance. I have however kept to the...

    Fast drying, waterwicking, grippy minimalist shoes

    I'm looking for a pair of minimalist hiking shoes. They should effectively drain water, be fast drying, have a thin but still pretty grippy outsole. Like these but with zero drop, thin sole and room for toes. Anyone with a suggestion?

    New minimalist shoes on Kickstarter

    These might not have the tightest sole or the closest to barefoot design. But they look pretty minimalistic. Looks like they have toeroom and are pretty cheap. Airia Raw - Speed Hacked Racing Flat, via @Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/airia/airia-raw-speed-hacked-racing-flat...

    Minimalist shoes for kids

    Hi I have a five year old girl that I managed to get a pair of merrel barefoots for. But for my 8 year old son there does not seem to be any minimalist shoes to buy. I had to settle for a pair of Nike free ladies shoes in their smallest size. But where can I find more minimalistic shoes for...

    Minimalist shoes for work review

    Vivobarefoot Bannister Great looking, high quality, handsewn shoes ridiculesly expensive. Bought them in brown. They are a bit stiff and the ground feel cold be better. However, they are wide enough for my feet and give my toes room to wiggle. I have some hope off the sole getting softer with...

    Ultravasan - new big Ultraevent by Vasaloppet

    The worlds biggest ski-race Vasaloppet over 90 kilometers was expanded with a mountainbike race 5 years ago that I ran on saturday (17/8) together with 12000 others. Next summer it will be adding a Ultra-vasa 90 km, hopefully in time it will be as big in Ultra-running as it is in cross country...

    Teva Northridge

    I have always liked Tevas sandal strapping. Since turning barefoot or to be honest, mostly using minimalist shoes, I have missed a minimalist sandal that has the classic Teva strapping since I really don´t like the thong thing between my toes on huaraches. I have from a distance followed Tevas...

    Sockwa X8

    I preordered the new Sockwa X8 today, in black. Hopefully the look good enough to wear to work. Pretty minimal anyway with only 1,2 mm sole and very breathable upper. Vill give a short review after I have worn them for a time.

    Don't run in Vivobarefoot Ultras

    II went for a run tonight in my ultras. I live in Sundsvall in the north of Sweden. The snow is just melting away so it's too cold for me to run barefoot. As I was running I taught I got a small stone in the shoe. I saw nothing in the shoe and kept running, but I could still feel it. When I took...

    Home made sandaler 2.0

    In an earlier thread I showed my last effort at making a pair of teva-like minimalist sandals. This is the current status of my second attempt I have not yet glued on the rubber sole. I find it hard to place the foot correctly, right now it slides a bit to much forward.

    Made my own sandals

    vLast summer I started barefooting and bought a pair of minimalist thong sandals. But could not get used to the thong between my toes. So I started to google for a pair of minimalist sandals with teva-like straps on. And I couldn't find any so I made my own. They worked fine but it turned...
