  1. Vivobarefoot for farmwork? Which one should I choose?

    From Vivo Barefoot the Scott may be another consideration. I think the lack of responses indicates what I first thought when I read your thread. Who spends $180 or so on shoes for farmwork? They all sort of have a dressy look to them- even the sports models. The Vivo when you take it out of the...
  2. Help me decide... business casual colors for SoftStar Dash

    Thank you for showing that. Interesting that the sizing chart for each is the same. Now I remember my thought process. Since I'm 11.5 ordering the 12 would take care of the larger size issue on the Hawthorne. On the dash I thought more toe room would be good since I use it for running. They...
  3. Help me decide... business casual colors for SoftStar Dash

    Hi Tristan, I ordered the same size (12). I normally wear size 11.5. The toe area is a little snug on both when you first wear them but literally after a day of wear that goes away and they fit in a way that you don't notice any snugness.

  5. Best Barefoot Running Books?

    I agree that Born To Run is a great and inspiring book but not really a reference book at all. I got Barefoot Ken Bob's book and found that one to be excellent. You may not agree with everything he says but when I'm out there running I can recall his words on form (ex; bend knees! straight up...
  6. Help find a new casual / business casual shoe

    I have a pair of Soft Star Dash's for running. I've thought about trying them in the office but their structure is much more loose than with the Hawthorne Chukka's- comfort the same. It would sort of depend on your office's definition of business casual. In some places that simply means removing...
  7. Help find a new casual / business casual shoe

    I would take a look at the Soft Star Shoes Hawthorne Chukka. I have a pair and they are amazing (looks, comfort, quality, build). You can order different widths. They make most shoes to order and do so QUICKLY and you should talk to them about your foot. I get more compliments over these shoes...
