VIVOBAREFOOT Magna Trail II FG, Mens Vegan Hiking Trainers with Barefoot Sole

Product Information

I wouldn’t use them in races, but I absolutely would use them for summiting some difficult, scrambly mountain peaks. And though there are most certainly types of hiking where I wouldn’t wear these, I love wearing them if I want to get places fast, when it’s fairly flat and dry terrain or when I’m likely to be on my feet all day, but not necessarily hiking.

This may not be much of an issue for most wearers, however, I have an uncomfortable scar on my foot, right where the shoes crease! The only reason these get a 4 is because ultimately, they’re really comfortable and my heel pain has gone. The wide toe box feels natural without feet sliding inside, and blends slick, lightweight design with outdoor performance.With that in mind, this amount of extra sole does reduce the barefoot feeling of feeling cracks, rocks, and similar terrain. The outlast thermal insole does an admirable job of prolonging the warmth of your feet when submerged or trekking in the winter and snow.

By wearing minimalist shoes you can develop stronger feet, improve posture, and enhance overall foot and lower body health.I wouldn’t at all pick the Magna Trails as the best barefoot trail running shoe – they’re a little clunky and hefty feeling for that. The Tracker Forest ESC is designed to work in harmony with nature, allowing you to connect to the most extreme forest and off-road conditions our planet has to offer. I got a pair of Magna Trail II FG recently and thought I would share some photos since I believe they have made some minor updates. These are water-resistant up to the neoprene tongue and liner which is roughly 5cm or so but unless you’re splashing in streams, it’ll handle your everyday and tougher outdoor days just fine. Plus, there is a rubber toe protector on the outside of the shoes — a nice addition to make your feet feel a little more protected in the minimalist shoes.
