Glad to see you back m. I didn’t think you could even buy those sandals in the US for some reason I thought they were just sold in Europe only .

Well, I got a pair or a few pairs of the toe socks that are really kind of wool thicker and I can wear those but I live in Georgia so in total hits the 20s I as long as I’m moving those feet I can really run in my bare feet When it gets colder than that try these if it still feels too cold, I’m worried about slipping at that point so at that point I might be on the treadmill or five fingers are really good. Those are like me and they grip like crazy. they keep my feet kind of warm, but they’re not sandals, good idea, but I could see why the surfers would want it tight

It’s a real good video matter fact I just hit probably had running miles on the aqua cloud of close to 400 miles 360 or something and another maybe a couple hundred miles of walking here and there pretty close to about 600 miles and they’re kinda on the gunpoint now some of my phone has a couple holes upfront that I’m wearing through him and I think they’re a great road sandal now I guess the road sand copper bowl would be Shamas Either chargers or the cruisers I had the cruisers way back and in the next month or so so I might actually buy one of each of those might might buy a cruiser again think they’re like $59 and another aqua cloud cushioning in the aqua cloud you’re right is nice cause I use them only for roads Roads are so hard that just that little bounce is good and but they are so flexible for me if I took them on trails that things gonna fold underneath me it’s not like the old thicker or more dense zero rubber but like I said really, I can buy the Aqua cloud brand new for $49 and I can buy the Shama for $59 and you know you’re talking about four 500 miles on each for that kind of price. That’s a beautiful place. I’d like to try but then I can have a fresh pair of aqua clouds and a fresh pair of the more flat bottom road type sandal from Shamima and I can compare now, Luna makes a flat road one to a Bonato but that’s like 9 mm and one thing kind of neat. My wife was mentioning that when I step on the aqua cloud, I’m really taking that thing down all the way to the bottom almost so it’s really a 3 mmdense so they’re both great chargers. I think 3.2 ounces only then want to ramble too much.

How did you get the sandals if they don’t ship outside the us?

Love that you’re doing these reviews with the kiddos!

Xero z trail sandals are catching up.

This one too. Hope so! :)

Can we use a few clips from your video in our TH-cam video? We’ll give full credit and use just a few seconds mixed with other footage. 🙂

Nice, I'm getting these tomorrow.

Thanks for the review! Did you have a Chance to compare them with the Elite Maximus or the regular Warriors?

I’ve long been an advocate of neoprene socks for barefoot running shoes in winter. Properly sized they can turn a sneaker into a boot.😊

Thinking about a pair of these I seen on eBay. I can run in mountain goats gravel roads. They are 12mm, Luna middle bear are 14 also. Just worried these 14mm I would trip on rock and roots

How do you think ? Earth runners vs luna sandals

Yo tengo 2 pares de éstas, 1 par de las Cairns y el 2do par de las Cairns 3D, y ahora me quiero comprar el 3er par de las nuevas Cairns C (la de suela gruesa). De las mejores sandalias que tengo (y tengo más de 30 pares de todas las marcas y estilos).

Have you tried metatarsal pads for your earth runners yet? I just ordered a pair bc I’m new to barefoot shoes and I have to walk VERY gingerly in my circadians. (Side note, wondering if the chronos soles are more comfy). But I heard about the benefits of metatarsal pads first from Anya’s reviews and she has a blog on insoles for barefoot shoes and talks about them there. Apparently they are really helpful in rehabilitating feet that have been trapped in shoes for years. They help splay your toes among many other benefits. They also make shoes like earth runners a lot more comfortable. Natural Footgear has a great article on it.

Earth Runners give you the benefit of grounding.

I saw a review video where someone tied a thread through the toe strap to make it more rounded, do you think that would help?

get a power strap from shamma or luna, that will help you

Very good review. I dont run with them. I have 3 pair of different sole widths. I wear them daily and love them. I got them for grounding. The only problem I have are when rocks get inbetween my feet and soles so that's annoying. Ive wondered how people run in them without that happening. I think of mybthree the circadian are my favorite but also the third pair ( cant recall style name but like circadia only sole is thicker. In the rocky desert terrain that seems to work better. The biggest issue are rocks getting in between.

Now they have a model with only 7 or 8 mm. And 1 continuous strap like Luna.

Great video :)

I have a wider foot, I’m gonna get Shamma or Luna. What do you think about Lunas? I’m not a runner, I want it for casual wear.

Hey man, thanks for the review of the aqua clouds. Regarding the laces, cut them, seal the ends with a lighter, and use pliers to help clip them back together. Wiggle them away from the edge you are trying to clip into, and they go in fine. I found that leaving them dangling is pretty annoying. I have had my pair of Genisis for a few days and have trimmed them. These are my first pair of barefoot sandals. I still need to get the tension right over the top of my foot; I started way too loose and gave myself blisters after only two miles. They are tighter now and seem much better after a short walk. I will let my feet recover over the next week and try them again with the new tension. You asked about the general quality of Xero shoes. I have put a pair of HFS through a thousand miles or so. There is some wear at the ball of the foot, and my big-toe nail pushed a hole through the top; this, sadly, is common for me with soft-topped shoes. All in all, the HFS lasted me well.

I have a pair of Panta Lykaios and Shamma Maximus (Elite Lacing) sandals here. Both are nice quality products but the Panta especially seem to have really good quality. I like the metal plug for the toe strap instead of plastic. But in comparison to the Shammas, I just couldn't adjust the Panta lacing to fit very nicely. I always slip backwards or forwards a bit with my feet walking or running uphill or downhill. As suggested by Panta, I initially adjusted them to be very tight but I had to re-adjust them multiple times wearing them for one whole day doing gardening work. I used the initial lacing form and did not try any of the other two ways yet. The biggest disadvantage is that you cannot adjust them while you have them on your feet (or at least I couldn't do it). Do you have any tips? Maybe they will fit better when they break in? Currently I only use them for casual wear and for everything else the Shammas simply fit better and are much faster to adjust on the fly. Which is a bit unfortunate as I am living in Europe and the Pantas are much cheaper to get.

The first thing I noticed was how narrow they were. It’s so weird that many tabi designs have like a 2:3 space divided between the big toe and the rest four toes. Why they think four toes take so little space?!

They chewed my feet up as well, but now that they're broken in, they're my favorite.

Excellent video! I need these for walking in severely bumpy cobblestones in Mexico. Each stone is about 6” with very deep set grout, often 4 inches deep. It’s really easy to get the foot caught between cobble rocks. So I need a sandal with some grip to it, not for rain. Which of these would grip better on dry days?

Hi, do you have in both the same size? I have a Shamma and I am wondering if I can just order the Earth Runner in the same size

Any plans of trying the numa version? Im strongly considering picking up a pair of these. I have chargers and warriors and i just find the warriors to be too slappy and thin for the concrete surfaces I'm on. These seem like a good middle ground that could hold up to moderate hiking too hopefully. I love the chargers morflex sole, but its lacking in grip off road and less durable.

I just got a pair of Elite Maximus. I'm wondering how the outsole anchors/posts are treating you? I get a little indent on my foot. Has it caused you any irritation?

Just bought these after doing my first couple of barefoot runs to give me some more protection from sticks. After putting a few miles in, they are doing a good job. Dont like the look at all, but you xant beat the price.

Xeros are half the price. It has to factor in.

I wasn't able to break in those laces, love bedrock's!

I love my Bedrock Sandals! Cairn Evo PRO & Cairn Evo. The Cairn Evo Sandals have a smoother upper and thin flat tough sole better for hiking, riding a bicycle, strolling around town, The Cairn Evo PRO has a toe-triangle bar up front for better traction. Also has water activated extra-sticky Vibram Mega-grip outsole that works awesome on wet environments like rafting, boating, the beach, water parks, even wet floors you are safer and easier to negotiate with that sole like if you were washing your car, truck or boat. What you wear can help you by what activity you are involved in.

Ive worn them for almost 4 years now. My favorite footwear to wear. Period. I wear them everywhere. Great soles. Slightly narrow, but not an issue for me. They habe been excellent for me. Love that i can resole them as well.

Good review man have you ever used luna sandals

Vibram Fivefingers also have neoprene shoe. Better option imo.

Awesome video and demonstration 🔥

Good to know, good idea, thanks for trying and reporting!

Or move south 😅

Man i wish they were a lot wider. With me having very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 they will not fit me. I don't own a pair of shoes at all. I have to wear flip flops 🩴 all year long so i can wear my flip flops 🩴 in 20° Degrees Temperatures outside but i don't hang outside in it. I just go from the house to the car , store , restaurants , mall , work or whatever besides being outside. If they were a lot wider i would try them out. Year & years ago i had a pair of flip flops 🩴 sock but my feet 🦶 & toes got wider & wider & fatter & fatter to the point that my feet 🦶 would not fit in the sock anymore. I tried toes socks & that was a joke. I couldn't even put my big toe in the Pocket. But this was a good video man. Thanks you for sharing this. P.S. You should do a review of showing all the sandals you have to show all the barefooted 👣 sandals you have man.

good Honest review thanks man

Hello, thanks for the good review. How would you compare Nallu to Panta, if you'd have to pick one, which one would it be?

Old video but I have and love aqua-clouds. The thing is I have a friend that’s in. He knows a lot about shoes and different things and he said and what they do and I never realize this he said cause she got the hard rubber on the bottom with that little foam on the top he said it almost makes it like a minimalist carbon plate he said because your foot sinks in when you first land a little even though it’s only I think 3 mm your foot sinks in a little bit then it hits the hard rubber, which propels you forward he said not really like a plate or anything , he he said but a lot more propels than any other barefoot shoes. And I agree with them because they are faster. I took them on the track they’re faster than a few other shoes I have they’re faster than my fan five fingers which I thought were the fastest ones and they just feel really good. Now I’m a 10 I’m I mine and I thought they were like 6 1/2 ounces you said you got 10 I don’t know , but that’s a great video and enjoying your channel so this is an old one that was just suggested to me have a good one

I’m sttting here in my busted ass Tevas wondering where I went wrong lol. Seriously.. this whole carefoot thing with high end well made brand popping up is fantastic. Not for my bank account.. but everywhere ese it’s great. The Shamma ones look more my speed. Weight on these is no big deal.. the big thing is they are so thin they fit into the wet compartment on my main backpack.

Thanks for the video. I have the warrior elites and just obtained the browns. I am really impressed with the sandals and absolutely love them. I find I very much prefer the leather classic straps most. I am using the warriors for my trail/surf stuff with the thought that all the sea water I'm around would trash the leather very quickly so the browns are for concrete/paved "touristy" surfaces mostly. My negative with them is they tend to catch pretty easily with lateral stepping movements. Basically inherent with the design, but everything else I find spot on for me. I've been using barefoot style shoes since about 2010 or just before... there are so many more options today and I also like the vivos for closed toe shoes and had good luck with the Lems when I needed a bit more cushion rehabbing from a hip replacement.

Don’t they have scissors in America?

Nice review of the chargers man. I am thinking about getting some chargers just for Casual wear. I have a pair of the cruisers & i love them. I wearing sandals or flip flop 🩴all year around. Just last week we had 5" inches of snow & i had to wear my flip flops 🩴 in snow & in 16° Degrees Temperatures outside. I am not doing this because I wanted too i have to do this because I have big very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 with very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. I have all kinds of sandals & Flip flops 🩴from Shamma sandals , Bedrock sandals , teva sandals , Birkenstocks sandals , Chaco's sandals , 5 fingers toes shoes , really Surprise that they Actually fit my feet 🦶 Reef Fanny flip flops 🩴, teva sandals flip-flops ( which was the first pair of teva sandals flip flops 🩴with a back strap on them ) , Birkenstocks flip flops , & so on. I have so many pair of sandals & Flip flops 🩴 man that it's not funny man. My foot outgrow shoes , socks , & boots when I was 18 years old & I had to walk barefooted 👣 for a year. So this is why I have to wear flip flops 🩴 & sandals in the winter time. But I love being barefooted 👣 or wearing flip-flops 🩴or sandals. I was subscribed to your channel but I don't know what happened. But I am subscribe again. Thanks you for sharing this video buddy.

Have you had any troubles keeping the straps nice and tight? I find I'm having to tighten the strap more and more, like every day now. Kind of annoying.

Watching a bunch of your videos on sandals and, I have to say, your honesty and example shots on the pros and cons are fantastic! Thank you
