I'm still on a quest to replace my vans boat shoes, which replaced my $50 Fireflies, the only truly minimalist street shoes I've ever owned, and which are no longer sold and their German manufacturer has no recollection of ever having produced them.
I refuse to pay Vivo or Merrell a marked-up price for a shoe that's less expensive than normal to make.
What others are there? Excluding mocs, sandals and other things that wouldn't be called a street shoe by the average person on the street.
simple criteria:
no significant midsole
thin outsole (Lems is out)
flexible
looks like normal street shoe - preferably brown leather. No bright colors, snazzy designs or crazy logos.
If I have to settle for Vivo or Merrell, how do the sizes run?
