Over the last 5 or 6 years, due to really bad Plantar fasciitis pain, I have migrated to wearing barefoot style and minimalist footwear exclusively. The good thing; I never suffer from plantar fasciitis pain anymore, the bad news is, trying to find footwear for rugged outdoor use has been difficult. Last elk season and this spring bear season, I wore my Merrell Trail Gloves , kuiu gaters, and just brought more socks that usual. That worked ok, but after a week in MW Montana in spring, they smelled so bad I had to damn near burn them!
I have a pair of Rocky SV2 insulated boots I got about 3-4 years ago. I like them alot, but they are really just too big/bulky for Sept. backcountry.
Inerested in what others out there might be running. The key for me is I have to wear something that has zero heel-to-toe drop, and ideally, very minimal sole.
I'm interested in the VivoBarefoot Trackers, but I've read some poor reviews on their quality/ruggedness. There's a few other boots/shoes that I am eye-balling, but again, would like to hear if anyone else out there is in the same boat I am ?
