>>2536558>Can anyone recommend some other barefoot brands?Oh, you mean other than vivobarefoot, which is having a big sale that literally everything except two sizes of the goofiest colors of their least-popular shoes are now out of stock for? Story of life, makes me grumpy m8. Like another guy said above, $240 full price is a bit much for those things.
I have a pair of Xero Aqua X. They're possibly the perfect fishing kayak shoe, since they shed water, shed more debris than Crocs or sandals, mostly protect from sun, are zero drop/thin and flexible, and have a decent bit of trail traction and grip. This traction isn't enough to wade on river rocks, as many retards have complained about in reviews of the Aqua X; you need felt or titanium cleats for that, no amphibious shoe does it, they're just idiots. It's fine for shore and light trail going, moderate in a pinch.
I'm always in search of the perfect footwear alongside everyone else, shame none exists. Best you can do on light shoes is accessorize gaiters for brush and a light neoprene sock for light insulation/water, but even this would probably require sizing up a bit to allow for the neoprene, or dealing with a very snug fit.
