Bro, mind your own business!

Why only for kids? Is there some feature you'd need that the LP3 doesn't have?

@@AndrewFolts well when i was teenager 2010 is used sony ericson cybershot that i only use for music text and call same like this. like in this generation kids will distract by internet which this phone doenst has. in this era this LP is usefull for young generation to not distract by phone, but sadly you cant denied by technology which mean by videogame online, streaming, etc. i watch another youtuber use LP2 for 30 and he thought not very helpful in this era, so yeah is suit for kids communication. also the price is crazy, 499 still expensive compare to nothing cmf phone 1

Thanks, Karim! Trying to branch out, it's a nice break from 24/7 barefoot shoes, ha.

Ha, "Fogception" starring Leonardo DiFoggio. But yea, brain fog is tough to deal with. Just take it one small step at a time.

Sometimes, but not always. Vegan products can also result in pollution, deforestation, habitat destruction, killing animals to protect crops, etc, so it's def important to consider the supply chain, as well as the materials used.

The Toetem Alpha BlackBear, hands down. ruclips.net/video/bU1cweEMjVA/видео.html It's the most comfy and versatile for casual, hiking, and road running. The Solstice is nice if you want slightly more protection for rocky hikes without a thong in between your toes.

@@AndrewFolts Thank you!

Hey there, that's a great plan, just do one thing at a time. As long as you're eating organic, free-range, grass-fed meat, it shouldn't be a problem. You can swap coffee for cacao chocolate (not milk or cocoa), which has 10x less caffeine, but still tastes great. You can also swap dairy for coconut yogurt and cashew cheese (if tolerated). For pasta, go with lentil, bean, or chickpea noodles.

Bummer, yea, I made the first video earlier this summer, but it took me a while to make the full review. Softstar has a similar Birk style sandal you could take a look at: bit.ly/4ftbmHA

Maybe they'll make a faux alligator version next. (:

If you want a leather version Softstar makes one called the Camino Street: bit.ly/4ftbmHA

Glad you're enjoying the minimalist vibes, Primal and Trackers sounds like a great duo! New van video coming in about a week. (:

Yea, it's pretty amazing how well they've replicated the look of leather without animal products.

The Tracker Decon seemed very soft to me in the toes, although I had the JFF, not sure if it's different. Never had a problem with the Textile toes, they seemed softer than the Tracker FG, although the new version might be different, haven't tried it. The Textile is also WP, so yea, it can get sweaty in warm weather, same goes for the Howgill (and not good for roads, as you noted), although it's a bit more breathable being lower cut. It's a win-lose situation with WP, unfortunately. If you're doing like 50/50 roads trails, then the Vivo Magna Lite WR SG might be one to look at. The lugs will wear faster on hard ground, but they actually feel pretty good on all terrain and the upper is water resistant without being too sweaty. ruclips.net/video/p1Ufraxz7z8/видео.html

Thanks so much for the response. Your insight has definitely made the decision making process easier. Much appreciated. Also love the videos. Just found your channel yesterday and they are all very informative. Keep it up! ​@@AndrewFolts

Just imagine in like five years how many barefoot brands there will be...yeesh! A blessing and a curse. (:

Yea, I love VBFF's! I wanted to review the KSO ECO (hemp), but they're very particular about which shoe gets reviewed and didn't want to send it. I'll check back with them after I catch up with the pile of other barefoot shoe boxes under my desk, ha.

No doubt! Walking into the grocery store is a sad experience these days and most people don't have a clue. If I ran for president my one and only campaign issue would be making the organic produce and local farm section 90% of all stores, ha!

The CF+ they use seems to be quite durable, because I've had my Ahinsa Jaya Boots ruclips.net/video/f3sS003Amz4/видео.html for years and they still look like new. That said, this sandal is mostly made for formal use, like at a wedding or office, so it's not something I'd put a ton of miles on walking or hiking For that you'd want a more secure sandal with a toe thong and back strap.

Oh cool, the original Camino did seem a bit thick and I have that 2mm sole on my Softstar Primal RunAmoc's. ruclips.net/video/-e3j2_Zn8Lo/видео.html Let me know how the Camino's work out. Enjoy!

Nice, the barefootverse definitely needs more Birk style sandals! These ones are great for formal or office wear, etc, as long as your husband's not doing hiking or long milage walking.

@@AndrewFolts no danger of that 🤣🤣🤣

Ha, thank you! It's def hard trying to pick with so many barefoot brands these days. If you ever have a request, just lmk.

Roger that. Will do

Haven't dabbled in ET yet, but people tell me good things. Will add him to my reading list. Any book in particular you liked? Thanks, Joey!

@@AndrewFoltsthe power of now or a new earth. he also puts out yt videos that are really good

Consider that Light is using preorder money to fund the making of the LP3 and that early investing, especially, is super important, which is why they price was discounted. If they set a precedent of allowing people to order at a lower price, cancel, then order again later expecting the same discount, it could create a real cash flow problem. Also, they'd have to keep track of whether someone's ordered/cancelled more than once and other logistical headaches. They were generous already by allowing people to cancel preorders at any time, which a lot of companies won't do. Overall, you knew the terms when you cancelled, so I don't think it's fair to throw Light under the bus just because you changed your mind on something (Lyft), which you knew about before purchasing.

So like every other company.

@@MES1808NYC Sounds like you're having a stressful day, I'm sorry about that. Hope it gets better!

@@AndrewFolts Thank you. No stress at all. Just sorry I fell down a RUclips rabbit hole about a company that, as it turns out, is just like every other. So I'll keep my iPhone and the "Calm App". LOL :) Cheers!

@@MES1808NYC Ok, best of luck!

The easiest way to do it is just start with 5 min per day in minimalist shoes, and then finish the rest of your milage in your regular shoes. As it feels right, gradually do more minimalist miles. That way there's no risk of injury. For roads I'd recommend going with a thin 3-4mm shoe, like the Vivo Primus Lite ruclips.net/video/ydf1R2Z2KAY/видео.html or Freet Vibe ruclips.net/video/TBJeliX7zIk/видео.html, which makes it easier for you to land smoothly and improve your stride.

Hey Michael, the only thing that really works on flat ice is either spikes amzn.to/3LRnfJP or that sandpapery Vibram Ice tread you can find on Merrell's and maybe a few other traditional hiking shoes. My solution is just to take short strides and walk very carefully across icy patches, because I find spikes to feel very clunky.

I'm not sponsored by Light Phone and I could easily make more money by becoming a Wisephone affiliate and promoting both phones, so it just comes down to how I feel. People can take or leave that. By "soul" I don't mean branding. With both phones having similar features (although the design is certainly night and day), I ended up taking a deep look into the motivations of each company, and what I found is Light being authentic and original from day one with a small personally invested team trying to set people free and Wise being a generic bandwagon brand run by a creepy corporation that seems more interested in profiting off of wealthy parents who want to micromanage their kids' lives, rather than just raising them right, so that they make good decisions for themselves. The lack of originality, the absence of any About Us Info, the subscription fees, the ties to evil companies like Chick-fil-A, and the mindnumpingly dull promotional video are all red flags that tell you Wise doesn't have any pride in their own product-that their primary concern is squeezing as much money out of consumers for as little effort as possible.

Oftentimes I'll wipe my feet off on wet grass. If not that, then maybe a local lake or pond. (:

@@AndrewFolts Thank you

Back and barefoot as ever. (:

You're welcome Angel! Appreciate you hanging out. (:

Yea, Xero's are similar to Vivo's, sometimes even slimmer. For mountainbiking the Ahinsa Chitra might be a good option and it comes in an optional extra-wide width. ruclips.net/video/RHJnkMezZdo/видео.html You can also filter for width, activity, etc, with the shoe finder tool on my website: bit.ly/4dvs0FA. Any shoe that works for "Trail Running" would also work for mountain biking.

Well, at that point I had lost all faith in allopathic medicine, having had so many poor results over the years, so I just decided to cure my asthma/allergies naturally with diet, etc, and it was much more effective. They've been 100% gone for four years, which is better than any medication a doctor could have offered me.

Ha, sorry, this was before I learned to mix videos properly. If only I could go back and change it. But you can get the same info from my written Brain Fog checklist: www.notion.so/aofolts/Brain-Fog-Checklist-e8d9dd4f22f34f538960eac10a3e6b9f?pvs=4

Right? Feels like it came out of an alternate universe or something, ha!

Yea, for just kicking around and hiking it def is nice to be able to let your toes ride free!

I've done some tree and rock climbing in the Vibram V-Alpha, and the Megagrip sole (like the name suggests) is super grippy. You might want to size down from your normal shoes, though, because you want toe shoes to fit snug, especially for climbing. bit.ly/3PaDpAa If you don't want toes, then the Ahinsa Chitra also has a Megagrip sole. ruclips.net/video/RHJnkMezZdo/видео.html I climb a tree in that video, ha.

Just looked at the website and it gives me scammy vibes. Every single shoe is on sale and their About Us page only has some generic corporate values, rather than actual info on employees, etc, which is usually a sign that it's just an Amazon type ripoff brand with poor quality materials and durability. If you want something less expensive but still good quality, Xero is a good brand for that. The Prio is a great beginner trail shoe ruclips.net/video/Uid5Ji7_oxE/видео.html. Freet would be another solid option. ruclips.net/video/TBJeliX7zIk/видео.html

@@AndrewFolts That's true. I have 3 hobibear shoes right now, one in mesh and two in fake leather. So far they've been great! I'm looking for affordable trail running shoes so I'll check your videos out! Thank you so much Andrew!

Thank you very much, Gill. Have a lovely day! (:

Yea, I seriously hate how all these companies are forcing you to do app-based 2FA now. It's just another way to funnel people back into RUclips, etc. Perhaps you could use a small e ink tablet, like the Boox Poke bit.ly/3YnD6HI, which has full Google Play access, but is much less distracting than a regular smartphone. Would double as an e-reader too, which is more useful than an extra smartphone.

You're welcome, Chris, I'll keep mentioning sizing from now on. Cheers!

Yea, that's basically the only real minimal safety boot available and people seem to like it from what I've heard, so glad it worked out really well for you. Thanks for the field report!

Yea, maybe they'll re-release the LP2 with a better battery. Would make a lot of sense, because that's my biggest complain too. Email support about that. They do listen, so the more people suggest it, the more likely it is that they'll do it.

A great shoe for Somer.
