Adipure: Barefoot Gym Trainers

“I’m wearing the new Adidas adipure Trainers right now. They’re barefoot shoes. My toes are spread apart (which is good), my feet are closer to the ground (which is great) and I feel like an ass (which is normal). Adidas says it’ll make me a better athlete.

Though the popularity of barefoot running shoes has been well documented, these Adidas barefoot shoes aren’t like those. They’re the first barefoot models exclusively targeted for the gym.

So how do they feel? Actually good. The shoe’s upper is similar to low profile water shoes (better quality, natch)—elastic, stretchy and hardly noticeable around the top part of your foot.”
