Every winter the time comes again when gone are my gallivanting around the globe barefoot, and even in the comfort of my own home I have to start wearing something warm on my feet. My toes start demanding warmth, softness, and something that still feels like me connected to the ground and free. So, without further ado, here’s this year’s coziest slipper and house shoe round up from pure sheep fluff to handcrafted felt and even minimalist leather soles. Softstar Fireside and

This article has been a long time coming. Our last winter boot round up was in 2021! Since then, numerous more models, barefoot shoe companies, and of course more exploration in many climates have happened, leading us all to this new best per category moment. Our winters in Israel are not as cold or as snowy as some. but there are still moments that have us cuddled under our blankets drinking hot cocoa and wearing our warmest barefoot slippers. We have also been the first to

The elusive minimalist weightlifting shoe, does it exist? As well as some friendly barefoot gym shoe alternatives.

Tolos is different! Evan Ritt, a former hockey player wanted a shoe that looks good and performs good all while being minimalist and allowing optimal foot function. Besides him being a super nice dude we were impressed by his shoe’s pleasing aesthetic and how normal looking it is. The shoe comes in white and black options and is known as Archetype 1.0 leaving plenty of room for customer feedback and future improvements. You can find Tolos here and you can use code TBSR to sa

Lems shoes is a great blend of aesthetically pleasing wide shoes along with a thicker sole, making it perfect for those people transitioning to the barefoot world or even people who just want a shoe or boot that is zero drop and wide toe box. While the Boulder boot is Lems signature boot, they constantly surprise their customers with wonderful new models. The Primal Zen is a personal favorite of mine ( review here ) and Sara has been rocking the Outlander ( review here ). Th

Vivobarefoot is continuedly releasing new models of various designs and styles to satisfy and match even the pickiest barefooter. But what if they released a shoe that can just do it all? They did! The Vivobarefoot Decon is the Swiss army knife of barefoot shoes, it's aesthetically pleasing, slips on well, has laces, has rugged enough lugs for trail running and even ball sports but not to rugged, so you can still use it day to day out and around town. It has a sleek sexy oute

Xero is one of the leading brands in creating what the barefoot community is actually looking for. Just earlier this year they created a much needed rain boot along with upgraded models of a lot of their shoes and this fall they once again delivered. What we have been also really enjoying is just how normal looking their models have been. I'm not sure how they do it, but besides the Xero branding it's hard to tell the difference between some of their newer models and non-bare

As an avid hiker and outdoorsy person, I'm always on the search for the perfect hiking boot. With its nice aesthetic, water resistance, and amazing grip, the Freet Ibex checks off all the right boxes for a serious hiker. We actually got it after realizing that their Mudee, which we also love, did not provide enough traction for very muddy and slippery terrain. The Ibex sits a bit higher on the ankle like a true hiking boot yet is still way more flexible than a conventional on
