I run around my home barefoot all day long. When I need to go somewhere or do something outside, I begrudgingly put on my shoes. Within 10 minutes, my two smallest toes start aching and feeling cramped, and that is with double wide shoes. I decided to try Hike Footwear barefoot shoes. I was skeptical, but once I put them on to do an errand in town I was hooked. I wore my barefoot shoes for several hours and didn't even think about my two smallest toes. When I got home I realized that my feet didn't hurt, not even my toes. I am going to be ordering another pair of barefoot shoes for winter wear, the insulated ones. I and my feet don't hate putting on shoes anymore!
