This is so tough to find great barefoot shoes for my first pair. I thought Lems sounded pretty great, and my girlfriend thought they looked nice, but then I find others saying on here that they are far from barefoot shoes because of the large soles, I see users here saying Xero are great, and then in the next thread down I see someone saying they're terrible with everyone in the comments agreeing with them, same story for vivobarefoot, etc etc.

​

It's so tough for me to find any barefoot shoe that seems to get universally praised satisfaction. Why is this the case? In every other hobby I am involved in, there is a general consensus with a product being top class either for the money or durability.

Headphones - HD600

Keyboards - Leopold

But when it comes to barefoot shoes, I'm having so much trouble sifting through the user reviews on here. Would any of you be able to perhaps point me in the right direction? I'm simply looking for a durable pair that looks appealing, that's mostly it.

THanks!
