Barefoot Kicks

We simply can’t get enough of this über-cute shoe.

Designed as zero-drop kicks for barefoot running, they are oh-so-very-much more. We started off wearing them for running, enjoying the very real crunch of rocks and trail dirt under our feet. But their funky good looks and outdoor sexy, minimal profile enticed us to lace them up for everything from hiking to grocery shopping. A plethora of compliments and yearning side glances stoked our flame—we even started wearing them with jeans to parties and out to dinner.

At first, we felt the after-effects of going “barefoot.” Zero drop equates to pancake-flat landings, whether running on the trail or chasing a preschooler through the health food store. It also equated to feet that felt ever-so-slightly sore, particularly when we bounced out of bed in the morning. But then, somehow and slowly, our body got used to this new concept. Perhaps it was the Vibram® Barefoot sole, which promises bruise protection and traction.

Added Features: The washable upper really is all that—after a sandy camping trip in the desert, we tossed them in the washing machine and they came out looking like new. Reflective detailing adds hip, urban styling and nighttime visibility. Lastly, at 5.8 ounces per shoe, the Merrell Dash Glove ($110) is truly lightweight, packable, and sleek.
