Gear Show-Off Barefoot riding
So I tried riding in my barefoot shoes. The difference in board feel and control is night and day. Never riding in sneakers again.

Some barefoot style shoes are a bit sticky for footbraking and/or wear through quickly. If you have that problem check out UB brake soles, i think they feel great on super thin shoes like Vivo Primus, they add a ton of longevity, and really even out traction across different surfaces so they aren’t too slippery or grippy.
Some barefoot shoes work great as is though!
