BEST Budget Barefoot Shoes - 1 Year Follow-up
Channel: Seagrass to Sassafras
Date: 2021-09-10

Hey Friends! Some time ago I took a chance on these budget barefoot shoes. The big question is: After a year of backcountry adventures in them, do I still think these are the BEST shoes for backpacking? In short, YES! Today we're taking an in depth look at everything from basic features to wear n' tear on these shoes. Out of appreciation for the podcast that introduced me to the world of barefoot shoes, we'll be using the "SUMMIT Gear Review" format from The First 40 Miles. 

For more info, please check out the written version of this review over on my blog: https://www.seagrasstosassafras.com/post/budget-barefoot-shoes
I also did a long-term review recently of a higher end brand Vivobarefoot:  https://www.seagrasstosassafras.com/post/vivobarefoot-review

Everything shared here is my own opinion from my personal experience with this product. I am not sponsored by ALEADER! I'm simply providing general info and anecdotes from wearing these shoes for backpacking.
