JohanLeatherworker 3After years of foot pain and lower back pain, I evolved to wider shoes, untied, and now barefoot I have to wear shoes for managing my store, so I wear Lems in the store. As soon as I started barefooting I grew intolerant to socks - now my feet warm up so much that I want to crawl out of my skin if I dare wear socks. I wash my Lems every week, so they always smell fresh. Is there winter footwear that will be : Super wide Flat thin soled Washable
Minnesota winters are a bit brutal.
These are washable and suitable for winter: http://www.merrell.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/32155M/78579/Mens/Barefoot-Trail-Run-Ascend-Glove?dimensions=0
And these also. I don't know if you can get them un the US: http://www.joe-nimble.com/de/herren/wingster-lotuss-protected-herren-barfussschuhe.html (use google translate for this website, it's German).
Good find Huib! Their suitability for winter obviously depends on how cold and how much snow you get. I certainly couldn't use those where I live :-)
Those are nice, but does not seem to be more protection than the Lems I wear for work.
Lems Have some nice boots, but they are not washable and will probably have to be worn with socks.....
Boy, that's a tough one, I am not aware of any washable winter boots. Maybe socks in the winter will help keep your feet warmer anyway :-) Have you tried wearing toesocks? Maybe they would be more comfortable for you?
