>>2571228I wear minimalist boots. they're awesome. Feet feel amazing. Only issue is they're not waterproof and they're not grippy walking down hill in the wet because they don't have the heal lug.
I wore them for ages without insoles and it was fine, after I rolled my ankle in gumboots one day I started using a hard foam orthotic and they feel even better now. I used shoe goo to make the sides stiffer too.
I'm not walking 30 miles on trial in them though, I'm walking mostly off trail in the bush on variable terrain and on mountain tops, 10km at the most and not on worn trails, nice soft ground. Id never fuck around with trail running style shoes man, sounds sketch. It is a bit of a meme though, If I didn't roll my ankles so much in proper boots I wouldn't wear these.
It's also absolute bliss feeling the textures under your feet on.
