Canvas High (Transition)

Sick shoes

Finally, freedom for my bunions. I’ve been a longtime tolos barefoot shoe user and glad I got the transition to switch up my daily wear. It helps with city walking, which I do a lot. Super happy with them!

Transition style not for me

I wanted to compare the transition style sole to the barefoot style sole. Perhaps the transition style isn't directed to me, as I'm already adapted to the barefoot style sole and love the Tolos archetype. Whatever the case, the transition sole felt too stiff for my heel, and I didn't like the feel of the upper above my big toe. That said, I would love to try the high top with the barefoot sole, I'm sure the flexibility of the sole will improve the feel of the entire shoe for me. The width was great.

Wore these all winter

Some of my favorite minimalist shoes! I wear a W8/EU39 in most barefoot shoes (Vivo, Xero, Origo); I originally ordered a W9 in the Canvas High and that was too big, but it was an easy exchange for the 8.5, which fits perfectly. No break-in time or blisters. I would happily buy them in more colors!
