Been rocking Mexico 66’s with the insole out for my zero drop daily, and can recommend those for anyone that doesn’t mind the narrow toe box. Gonna check these adidas out next cop

More like trend cycling! Same for puma speedcats (“sparcos” 20 years ago) haha!

Have you tried true barefoot shoes (with a wide toebox)? I’m a convert but will admit they don’t look as good as regular shoes.

Oh man, yes! I wrote about a few I liked last summer here: https://heavies.substack.com/p/barefoot-shoes-guide

I've had trouble finding a cool pair for winter but these taekwondo shoes were close enough to barefoot for me

Altra Superior, Vivobarefoot Primus Lite, Blusun German Army Trainers, Lems Chillum, and Feelgrounds Chelsea boots. Mostly all in black. I’ve not ventured to the five finger or Tabi world yet. As a jawnz enthusiast, it’s been a journey to find barefoot replacements for my favorite shoes. There’s been lots of new barefoot brands bubble up in the last couple years so that’s promising. Hoping the big dawgs (Nike, Adidas, etc. )start offering barefoot options soon.
