>>2733240If you look up Lems boots you will see that they use blown rubber that wears faster than solid rubber. It is more comfortable but if you want it to last a long time you want it really thick like lems boots.
Jim greens uses the same type if rubber in this shoe which is a shame.m because it will wear fast.
I have contacted Jim green about this and asked them to make a solid rubber and custom shop won't even do it even though the baobab design can technically accommodate a flat solid rubber outsole.
Furthermore I don't think a welted shoe lens well to a bearfoot shoe because it makes landing on the balls of your feet or mid strike even harder since you typically have a thicker midsole insole outsole and the outsole tends to extend farther back behind the heel.
Like people thinking they should buy the pacific Northwest firefighter boots that weigh 5 pounds to hike the Himalayas or fight zombies in the end of times people look at the Jim green bearfoot boots as the end all be all but they will both fail in durability test compared to solid rubber sole options even plastic rubber like nitrile as well as fail in their goal to act like a bearfoot shoe or booth aside from having a wide toe and not having a heel taller than the forefoot or no drop.
I like Jim Greens other offerings especially their value but for bearfoot shoes this is the reddit midwit option because it looks good on paper but falls short in execution
