        And they’re so much more comfortable, it’s ridiculous. It’s like the shoe industry decided, several decades ago, that men don’t want comfortable shoes.

          i have bad news, they decided that no one wants actually comfortable shoes. Women just get slightly less actively uncomfortable ones.

          minimalist shoes are a whole different universe, i love my wildlings winter shoes because they’re basically just thick socks with a rubber outsole.
          You know how people have to “wear in” their shoes to avoid chafing? yeah that’s just not a thing with minimalist shoes.
