Hey Moe, glad to have you here! I am looking forward to connecting with you in Toronto this holiday season.

What do you wear outdoors in Toronto in the winter? Do you go barefoot all year?

Thanks Damien - I'm very much looking forward to meeting you too. :)

Oh, and I forgot to mention that we do have a forum and a "product page" (listed under "Other" in the directory) for good old bare feet. So, if you decide to hang out here, those will probably be your favorite places...

While I wish I could be barefoot year-round, I'm afraid I'm not really a winter creature. I must confess I wear a variety of footwear during the winter, depending on weather severity and the occasion. For most part, when we are not facing any snow storms, I seem to favour a pair of Nike Free runners or a pair of Wind River slip-on shoes form Mark's (http://www2.marks.com); unfortunately, I think they have discontinued the particular style I wear.

While none of these are truly "minimalist" shoes, I find that, by removing the insoles from both pairs, the shoes have become much more wearable. The Wind Rivers have a fairly thin rubber sole (similar material to Vibram soles) and a soft leather top, so they are almost like the Vivo Barefoot Aquas - at the fraction of the cost. I love these because I can kick them off easily whenever I sit down anywhere or in my car when driving.
