This week we tackle a listener request and one that has been highly anticipated in barefoot shoes and toe spacers ! Turns out you guys really want to know what we think of barefoot shoes and toe spacers. All will be revealed and by the end, you should be able to make a more informed decision on whether they are a good fit for you. That's if you can get through all the chaos of course.
We take a closer look at the scientific evidence when it comes to barefoot shoes and toe spacers, we dive into some listener comments regarding experiences with these products and we also explore a lawsuit involving Vibram and 3.75 million dollars!
