You said it perfectly: “An intro to barefoot shoes”. I’m just starting this journey and I think this is a good transition shoe. I had to buy mine 1 full size 🆙, I’ll probably get 1 full size up + Wide next, I didn’t even know they came “wide” 😮. I want this color way next! 👏🏾
@Joe Scharnweber DJ/Musician It WAS a struggle to find that dope colorway! Found them on NB Canada’s site, got a Canadian Reship address - they arrived yesterday in sunny Florida and kicked ass on their first WOD. You still may be able to snag a pair on one of NB’s international sites and use a Reship address to import them into the USA. If not this colorway, there is also a green colorway which looks cool too that is floating around on NB international sites. Either looks better than the dull grey one up NB’s USA site. Good luck!
Thank you for this review. I really like these shoes, but it seems the right foot rubs my Achilles and outer ankle raw. Left foot is fine. I have not experienced this disparity between feet with other running shoes. Thoughts?
Hey, Joel! Great content (as always)! This question may be a bit early since the Metcon 7s just dropped, but if you were doing a mid-year assessment of best shoes, what would be your top 3-5?
Any barefoot/minimalist shoe you’d highly recommend? Looking at a pair of Vivo’s - but they just seem so pricey for the most minimal shoe. Also, New Balance sells this in a wide version directly from their website. Thinking of just snagging these in a wide variation.

So do you recommend it a someone Who just start his journey with barefoot and is totaly novice ? Specially to walk, run with them in the daily life
Never skip socks people, if you have a cut and have sweaty shoes without socks you can easily get an infection. My dad lost the tip of a toe from that
My favorite training shoe ever! Struggling to find that dope colorway in 11.5 wide though
Finding any size at the moment is pretty grim.

Just got a pair, thanks for the review!
I’m 11.5 vans, 12 in nikes, and got the 12E (wides) and they fit perfect.

Highly anticipated!

Dang was hoping for a competitor to the xero 360s, guess I'll keep waiting
Can u review the vivo barefoot primus lite 3?
thanks dude!
Where can I find this colorway? Can't find it anywhere
Just added the link. I got them on Amazon.
I know they’re completely different types of shoes, but which do you prefer between the Minumus TR and the GoRuck Ballistic Trainers?
Really the best training shoe review channel on YT.
So what are the main differences from the Prevail?
What is a better shoe for plyometrics

Hey. And what about trail running? Thanks
good for rope climbing?
I will you be reviewing the Reebok nano x1 adventure?
I'll probably do a short video but there isn't much more to talk about compared to the normal ones.
@@AMRAP ah that would be cool. Really just want to understand how well they would work in everyday gym/WOD environments.
How was the inside purple rope guard on the wide version?
I have the regular version and I find it rubs against my foot
Honestly they felt the same in that area to me. The only part wider with the wide was there was more space next to my big toe.
@@AMRAP interesting… good to know. Thanks for the response. Glad I didn’t return mine for the wide version then!
What makes this different from a typical indoor soccer shoe?
indoor soccer shoes are a lot more rigid, especially in the heel area. They have way more material to slow down wear.
Metcon 7
How do they fair with inov8’s barefoot shoe?
I’d consider the inov8 to be true barefoot and also fit better. That being said the inov8 shoes aren’t as good for oly, but better as a barefoot shoe.
@@AMRAP Nice! Maybe I’ll give this a go. Thanks!
