Dada barefoot is a brand I've seen mentioned a few times for affordable minimalist shoes. They look very simple and casual, which is what I want for wearing around the office.

Before I order, I wanted to check if the quality is there. Are they comfortable for all-day wear, and does the sole hold up to pavement.

I'm also curious about thr width. A lot of budget brands run narrow, so I need to know if these are truly foot-shaped.

Altra olympus is on my radar because I love the wide toe box of my barefoot shoes, but I'm doing a multi-day hike on rocky terrain and my feet just can't handle thin soles for that long yet.

I know they are zero drop, but the stack height is huge compared to what I'm used to. I'm worried I'll roll an ankle because I won't have any ground feel. On the other hand, the grip looks amazing for wet trails.

For those who mix barefoot shoes with cushioned zero-drop shoes, how does the Olumpus feel on technical trails? Is the transition back and forth annoying?
