Uk barefoot Expo 17-18th October

Will we see you there? 😬👏🏻🦶

With just over a week left things are all falling into place nicely here!

Theres 15 more brands than last year 😬😬
Will drop a full list if anyone’s interested?

£15 a ticket, but you will not find a greater selection of barefoot brands from around the world with discounted stock 🙏🏼

Not to mention workshops and prominent figures/speakers from within the community, it’s set to be a great weekend!

Hopefully see you there! Any questions drop them here 👏🏻

Kind regards as always, Dan 🦶

Snagged the new Tovas

They’re quite nice, though I’ll probably need to wear thicker socks. I always order a 45, these feel just a tad more roomy than my others…

Any of you have the same experience of the Tracker Tova Mid being a bit large?

Did I measure my foot correctly? Looking for normal-looking gym shoes that fit a bunion

I don’t traced my foot while standing and measured about 28.5 cm long and 11 cm wide across the bunion/ball of my foot. Does the tracing and measurement look right? It was surprisingly hard to keep the pen vertical—angling it inward or outward changed the outline quite a bit.
When comparing this to shoe size charts or insoles, how much extra room should I allow in length and width? I’m looking for a comfortable, fairly minimal gym shoe with room at the first MTP joint, preferably one that looks like a regular sneaker. Any models you’d suggest for this foot shape?

Is superglue a good fix for this?

Ive had these for about 2 years, this started happening quite a while ago but hasnt really developed into anything. I think its still water proof it just looks bad. Anyone else had this and is super glue a good idea?

Prices up, quality down?

I bought my first Vivo shoes 5 years ago and never looked back to other brands or non-barefoot footwear. I had Geo Obsidian (twice), Magna FG, JJF Primus knit.

Now I am looking for something new to replace all three, so three pairs are in consideration.

But what I find concerning is the quality of the last pair, the JJF collection of Primus Knit, namely the glue that’s holding them together, which really didn’t stick for long, with holes started to showing up on the sides and heel area.

So now I’m a bit confuse, should I stick with Vivo or try one of many other brands that have meanwhile appeared?

Also the prices have gone like 40% up lately, but the quality down, Galahad what are you doing? 🤷‍♂️

I have seen some positive reviews about Xero shoes or something similarly named to printers 😁 while of course Facebook feed is flooded with ads from hobibear, groundies, shapen, belenka… even Merrell pops up occasionally.

So what do you guys?
