Am also looking for sneakers to get for the following seasons:

  • grey ones for summer
  • black ones for spring/autumn

But I’m virtually clueless when it comes to fashion + they should be available in the EU

    I’ve been enjoying my Vivo barefoot shoes. But obviously they’re only really good if you like having a thin sole on the shoe. They have a repair service though so that’s one of the reasons I recommend them.

      I just switched to these last summer. Took about a month to relearn how to walk, but they’ve held up better than any other shoe in my life. One of my pairs is a single continuous piece of rubber from the top of the heel to my toe on the bottom, so there’s no way for the heel to wear out, which is usually the first thing to fail in a shoe.

        I hadn’t tried them until I went to one of their shops last year to try them on. I didn’t really expect to like them, but wanted to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised. They are now my favourite, most comfortable shoes (although sometimes I wish they had a slightly thicker sole). It is worth noting that the insole they come with didn’t last very well though (it started to crumple up in the shoe and became uncomfortable) so I replaced it with a cheap regular insole I found online and it made them even more comfortable (a bit more cushioning but still a wide toe box and flexible shoe).

      They’ve been getting worse and worse imo.

      My first pair lasted 3 years (Tracker FG) before the sole cracked and unglued itself. My second 2 from the same issue.

      My third pair (Magna FG) has lasted less than a year. The lugs on the sole have gone and I’m probably going to wear through them.

      Not to mention the colours have gone absolutely mental. I don’t want a yellow sole. Or a green boot.
