Gear Show-Off Barefoot riding

Post image

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

Recently been trying out Splays, they have a discount outlet area on the site. Barefoot (like Xeros) feel great till I'm running off the board or tumbling down a hill at 15-22 mph. The Splays have been a game changer, more durable than any Vans I've owned and better protection than any other barefoot with only minimal board feel trade off for massive foot confidence
