Last year as an experiment, I wore barefoot shoes every day for six weeks and it totally changed my mind about them. I wore the Vivobarefoot Magna Lite SG on the trails and around the city and was surprised to find that they were comfortable, grippy, and that I didn't need as much ankle protection as I'd previously thought.
If you've been curious about barefoot shoes for hiking – or long embraced this minimalist trend – you might be interested to hear that leading barefoot shoe brand Vivobarefoot has just unveiled several new and updated hiking boot styles for fall. The company says these styles will allow you to climb mountains, trek jungles and cross canyons barefoot.
