It seems there is no love in the EU for minimalist shoes, I can’t find anything anywhere, no innov8, no new balance minimus trail, the only ones I might be able to order online are Merrell vapor glove, trail glove and bare access, so trying these things in a store it’s not possible. Sales reps look at me puzzled when I ask for shows with a thin sole, and I tried in Italy and France. So I have a couple of questions, where can I find these kind of shoes in Western Europe or European online shops?
And what are some of the most breathable minimalist shoe to be found? I would like to wear sandals with socks also in winter but only Germans to that, and it’s a problem when it rains. I am also interested in shoes that might be perforated like the vivobarefoot. Ideally I would like a shoe with a very loose mesh but where the color of the sock is not as visible.
Any ideas? Right now I have looked into some of the Merrells, the NB MT10 I would have to order from the US, and the Vivobarefoot are too expensive and also from the US.
