I’m interested in barefoot shoes but the prices are just ludicrous. I mean, a ballerina slipper for $240. There’s certainly a lot to be said about economies of scale, but theres not a lot of material here and longevity is a pretty frequent talking point. I typically spend less than €150 on shoes.

Somewhere on this fediverse, someone posted a list of some of their successful and less successful shoe purchases from both online shops as well as Amazon sellers. There were shoes in the €50-100 range that seemed like reasonable options.

If you’re reading this and have experiences good or bad, please share them here!

Furoshiki are great and are in your price range.
