Barefoot Shoes

[TsPoet]

oh i re-read what you said. What are the shoes you are wearing that are "less barefoot" ?

Terra Plana makes some (my winter shoes - even though they are thin, very very warm)
and I just ordered soft star shoes to, hopefully, wear at meetings.

I've been curious about these shoes since people first began mentioning them over in the Running forum. They sound very cool, but I have trouble talking myself into spending that much on any article of clothing.

I forgot price as a negative, they are expensive! They are all expensive for what they are. The softstar I just ordered were $63 instead of $100.
but, the Treks that I got back in November are in great shape, and I've warn them every day since - including walking the dogs and short hikes up hills and around work... everywhere all the time. So, so far they stand up to wear, I was afraid they'd be expensive and fall apart quickly, not so.
