Barefoot Trainers

Not had barefoot trainers but thinking about it. However I have a pair of Josef Seber barefoot boots really comfy but not sure about walking on very uneven ground or snywhere that is muddy or very stoney Be interesting to see further comments .

Would never buy them at my age- I need a good supportive trainer, preferably with a heel and lace-ups for extra support.

My feet and ankles are now suffering from decades of abuse wearing flat and unsupportive shoes.

Since I went back to heels and lace-ups my ankles are much less swollen and painful.

Personally, I think these ads are marketing cons unless you're under 30.

I don’t agree about the need for the type of shoe you refer to. I have always spent a lot of time barefoot and liked flip flops I have absolutely no foot problems and the condition of my feet has been commented upon positively in hospital

Yep, me too but my ankles are shot. Maybe you're just lucky, or I'm unlucky...nothing wrong with my knees or hips though!

I have a pair of Hobibear barefoot trainers. I need a wide toe box due to having tailors bunions but the rest of my feet are fairly narrow. I can walk all day in my Hobibears.

These are my shoes.

No good for me. Walk a lot and they offer little support.
Our daughter bought me Hoka trainers for walking: would thoroughly recommend.
