Did you guys know that it is possible to have all the benefits of toe shoes without the disadvantages of... wearing gay toe shoes?
There's actually a whole market out there. Keywords being: Minimalist shoes or barefoot running shoes. They usually have much wider toe boxes to facilitate natural spreading of your toes, and are all ultra light weight to mimick walking barefoot but with the benefits of not stepping on shit with your bare skin.
Minimalist hiking sandals are also a thing.
The weeb option is importing Jika-Tabi (the ones that separate the big toe from the others) which feel amazing to walk/climb in, if you don't mind looking like a ninja.
Me personally I'm a big fan of whatever pair of quality trail running shoes is on sale because they're exactly like running shoes except with a sturdier sole that doesn't wear out immediately. I prefer the knitted varieties.
