I love the looks, bought three of them, sneaker, high and slip on - and then they realized that people complained that the toe box is still too narrow and the sole material wears out extremely fast - and released new versions.
Great point about avoiding chemicals in shoes. This is hard to do. Shoes and clothing that is water repellent unfortunately typically has forever chemicals even if it is made from natural materials.
@@sonsofsever Yes definitely. It is good to consider the toxicity factor when shopping though as you pointed out. Sometimes it is about minimizing toxins vs avoiding them altogether.
For those not following Feelgrounds on socials, they're actually coming out with a canvas version of their Courtside sneaker later this summer. I think the Courtside is too busy of a design personally, but it looks like a step in the right direction as far as natural materials go.
Haven't had the weather to really test that yet unfortunately, but in the mid to upper 70s they've been awesome. I think they're gonna breath just fine as it warms up more here.
Been a while since I've been in a Xero sneaker, also haven't tried the HSF 2, but from what I can remember of the Prio, Feelgrounds and Xero have very similar toe box widths. Anyone else out there have any better insight into this??

It’s all about doing the best you can these days

That's really exciting!
What about breathibility in hot weather/summer?

Do these have a wider toe box than Xero hfs 2?

Shoe review idea:
Xero Xcursion Fusion Boots
Done. Scroll through all our videos, it's one of our oldest ones actually, so it'll be a little... different. 😂
