Stefana of Light started this discussion · 8/9/2015

Hey Veeners.. I've always been a bare foot soul.. But I need a good shoe! Something to walk in, hoop, dance, yoga, just fitness in general etc.. Any advice ? I need a shoe that always proper toe space and had a small differential heel to toe. I recently looked into Ahnu yoga sport, those seem enticing! Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Not sure about the proper toe space, does that mean it needs to have that separation between big toe and all the rest? For a barefoot feel when barbell training I use Merrells and they work out fairly well. Can't wear them all day as I need more arch support than this, but for people who like the barefoot feel it's a good shoe. http://www.merrell.com/US/en/vapor-glove-2/17592W.html?dwvar_17592W_color=J03918#cgid=women-footwear-shoes&prefn1=bestFor&prefv1=Running%7CCasual%2FTravel%7CLightweight+Hiking&start=1

I have a pair of minimalist running shoes produced by New Balance but with Vibram barefoot soles and I lurve them. I won't do weight training or plyometrics without them and I bought a second pair for weekend errands. However I have ridiculously narrow feet, so I'm not sure if they would work for everyone but worth checking out.

I like the Salomon x-scream for running
