Clown shoes are better for your feet.
If someone looks at your feet rather than your face, they are gooner and should not be interacted with.

>>18501692 (OP)
Indeed. Only women wear shoes according to fashion trends. They'll destroy their feet and body just to stuff them into the narrowest shoes possible because that's what the fashion industry tells them looks good. If you're a man and wear pointy shoes because you think wide shoes are for "clowns", then you're a fag who needs to transition and get it over with.

>>18501692 (OP)
How come every single billionaire in the world, the best athletes in the world, the fastest people in the world, the strongest men in the world , the oldest people in the world all use normal shoes and not clown garbage

>>18501692 (OP)
Why are you afraid of color?

>>18501698
Because they are unable to change from tradition and at the time they made the money wide shoes were not available

>>18501698
Because they have no need of them for they aren't on their feet all day, they sit on chairs and talk.

>>18501698
Because they're used to "normal" shoes, so to them that's what real shoes look like. And since they grew up wearing those degenerate unnaturally shaped shoes, even their feet got mangled into that shape. Most people rarely walk barefoot, let alone exercise or do any laborious work without shoes on, so they don't realize how crippled they are from wearing narrow, pointy shoes all their life.

>>18501698
>the best athletes
>the strongest men
The deadlift world record was done in socks, you can run faster without shoes if you train for it.
No company made shoes that followed foot shape because it's cheaper for them to use less material until recent years.
You will disregard all my statements because you don't want to change, goodbye.

>>18501703
>business man
You know what business men do all day?
They sit on their ass, they aren't picking up heavy objects and walking with them, they aren't standing at the register all day.

>>18501705
>you can run faster without shoes
that's utter bullshit

You should wear shoes according to your use case. Ancient people didn’t walk barefoot on massive expanses of rock-hard concrete and asphalt. They walked on relatively forgiving dirt, sand and grass, avoiding rocks when possible. Wearing “barefoot” shoes with little to no cushioning (looking at you barefoot sandals), when you mostly walk on hard surfaces, will FUCK UP your feet.
>I’ve been wearing them for years and my feet are stronger than ever!
You’re in your 20s, maybe 30s. You will be crippled before 60.
Toe-space and zero-rise is fine, but please protect your feet. You only get one pair.

>>18501727
If on a track, I will win.
If on a trail with many rocks, you will win but I won't be far behind
>>18501732
I have ran for years on the asphalt road in front of my house, I have muscles on my feet that would surprise you. But I don't always run barefoot.

You won't

>researchers believe
uh huh

>>18501749
Yuppers.
I guess to know for sure, do it yourself on a grass field.

>>18501749
knees over toes is also good for the knees
Anus to grasses squats are also good, but (you) won't try.

I just realized that I don't care what you believe, untermensch.
I will not interact with you any further.

>>18501732
That's your first world foggotry talking because you're not used to walking barefoot. Most third worlders (young and old) wear cheap flip fops everywhere on concrete, asphalt and stone, and those barely have any cushioning. They also stay barefoot at home, on stone or ceramic flooring, not wood, and their feet are perfectly fine.

>>18501692 (OP)
Real niggas know about vibram
picrel is the kso trek

>>18501692 (OP)
hell yeah brothers, walking on the earth barefoot is especially based

>>18501847
Nothing better than walking on wet soil and mulch

>>18501692 (OP)
well no, if i look down and theyre wearing crocs, i cant be friends with that person, simple as that. so yes i do judge ppl by their shoes to a degree (rightfully so) but when i look down, it has nothing to do with gooning

>>18501850
definitely, and theres no concern about hookworms in the north. i go barefoot even in the winter sometimes for a bit

>>18501847
I hope that man isn't married for I wish to ravish him savagely

been a while since we saw the barefoot schizo

>>18502112
Thanks

Anyone got any solid barefoot shoe brand recs? Looking for a leather loafer with that wide toe box

>*man on deathbed*
>i may have been looking like a retard my whole life and had people thinking I was mentally disabled because of my shoes but at least I'll die with slightly more room between my toes or whatever...
>*beeeeeeeep*

>>18502137
Yeah, I bet your pants higher than the average

>>18502137
With that logic why do anything? Just be on your deathbed today, I urge you.

Oversized normal sneakers are comfortable enough for me. The secret is to get rid of the footbed/cushions inside.

>>18501732
>cushioning
I believe this is meme, at least for normal sized people. Walking barefoot on even stone or concete even for hours is comfy enough concerning cushioning, that's what your muscles are for if you need it. It's of course not forest floor mossy dirt path level of nice but still feels way better and is more easy on you than unpredictable nature ground or sand. The roughness and/or temperature of concrete and stone is the real poblem that can cause problems very easily. I love walking on wet asphalt after a rain for some time but if I'd overdo it I guess I'd loose too much skin.

>>18502137
He would live a longer and healthier life, you stupid fuck. The difference isn't just cosmetic. If you have fucked up feet from modern foot binding, then it affects the movement and posture of your entire body.

>>18501761
Most peoples feet are fine, first and third world alike. You people are just in one of the thousands of health cults. You guys just happens to be in the clown shoe cult rather than the daily enema, tan your sphincter, or the 15 bananas a day health cult.

>>18502183
Try standing on your toes barefoot and tiptoeing. Most shoe cucks can't because they have disgusting mutilated toes from wearing narrow cuck shoes all their lives.

>>18502157
You won't lose skin from walking on rough, hard ground. The skin on your soles will thicken and harden to give you more protection from friction, cuts and piercing wounds.

>>18501732
Since we're talking about historical contexts, you should know they used thin bendy hide as shoes when walking on rocky mountains. This helped their feet form better to the terrain which led to better movement and less risk of spraining their ankles. Barefoot is the best choice as long as you're not working on a dig site or deadly cold temperatures.

>>18501692 (OP)
you can literally just extend the tip and have the typical shoe shape

>>18501692 (OP)
I hate that I have trol feet and the only footwear I can wear are birkenstocks and this foot shaped shit

>>18502203
What kind of mental illness makes people hate the natural shape of feet?

>>18502203
What kind of mental illness makes people hate the natural shape of feet? You don't see this kind of derangement for any other body part.

>>18502186
I'm totally assured that you've never actually seen anyone in real life with feet like the one of the right. The big clown shoe industry is lying to you just so you'll go out and buy their plastic trash shoes.

Mine look like the left and I've only worn normal shoes for normal human beings all my life. And pretty much everyone else that I've seen looks the same.

>>18501692 (OP)
>If someone looks at your feet rather than your face, they are gooner
fun fact: genuine foot fetish is extremely rare
what's not rare: people without foot fetishes pretending they have a foot fetish online because they have fomo.
not sure if it's sad or funny, really

>>18502210
I can not wear regular shoes. what is so hard to understand about that?

I don't know why the concept of health triggers /fa/ so much

>>18502257
Probably because you're all just a bunch of unhealthy people trying to claim that this is the only way for everyone to be healthy.

Very similar to all the "retvrn to primordial healthy diet" YouTubers that all pretend that they've found the most natural and healthy redpilled diet for all human beings. But if you really pay attention to what they're saying the reality is it's just them being subhumans that can't drink milk or eat grains or whatever without pooping blood.
>tl;dr most people don't have foot problems or bunions and are perfectly fine eating vegetables

>>18502276
yes you never hear a woman complain about high heels

>>18502186
Nobody IRL wears shoes like on the right, regular work boots and sneakers have space for a straight big toe and moderate distance between toes
You bought into a cult, tough luck

>>18502391
>yeah okay but what about women though

>>18502448
This, and they fail to realize normal boots and shoes have dead space for appearance sake, like they think someone wearing cowboy boots is cramming their toes into the point.
Also all their marketing pictures are either people with short toed hobbit feet and/or deliberately spreading their toes.

>>18501692 (OP)
Where do I buy some?

>>18501692 (OP)
The modern foot "fetish" is a manifestation of the general discontent with the socially acceptable foot binding practice that was imposed upon us all since age 2. So-called shoes have irreparably fucked our bodies just as soft food and mouthbreathing has. Kingdom Hearts shoes are the future.

>>18502730
>like they think someone wearing cowboy boots is cramming their toes into the point.
No, they don’t believe that. They’re just arguing in bad faith because they made weird shoes their whole personality and they need to convert people to their new religion so they never have to realize everyone else thinks they’re weird little guys.

>>18502730
The natural foot has space between all toes. If the toes are all smashed together they have been deformed by shoes.

>>18502730
>>18502760
In the case of OP, he’s literally been spamming this shit for YEARS now. He’s as mentally unwell as the guy that keeps making ANTM threads.

>>18502764
I'm on his side though. Unironically free the foot. Shoe companies, like all companies, do not care about our health I know this is /fa/ but looking good isn't more important than feeling good.

dgaf i don't want ugly monkey feet

>>18502448
The hell do you think bunions are caused by?

>>18502770
You are an ape whether you like it or not, retard. You will give a fuck when you're a crippled boomer who can barely walk because all his toes are crooked and mangled from wearing shitty narrow shoes all his life.

>>18502764
Could it perhaps be a different OP making this thread with the same topic? Dumbass

>>18502776
i'm going to feel like shit when i'm old regardless, why would i waste my youth not wearing what i want.

>>18502839
Yep, and with the same pics used over and over again too.
No one believes you.

>>18502848
I mean, you can wear Birkenstocks every day and no one will think you’re that weird. Or you can wear stupid-looking shoes that let everyone in the world know to stay away from you unless they want to be trapped in a moronic lecture about toe spacing.

>>18502849
Is the OP pic the same picture, you stupid bastard?

>>18501692 (OP)
barefoot shoes fucked my feet up and i had to wear orthotics for years to fix my arches. they are very good for some people but not for everyone. if you have wider feet and you're a bigger guy you should seriously try them out at least once. but if you have dainty narrow feet like me they are probably not for you.
there are some aspects to barefoot shoes that are undeniably good, like minimalist midsoles, not squishing the toes etc.
but i do not think you understand: even converse do not squish my toes. every barefoot shoe is just horrible heel slip and much instability on my foot.
i wear narrow, minimalist sneakers with some but not all aspects of barefoot shoes. converse being a good example of what i mean.

>>18502764
True, but he’s funny. You just need to keep an eye on his threads. Most of the time he’ll just keep samefagging, bumping them to keep them alive for weeks. Those threads are boring, but every now and then while he preaches for a bit about his foot-religion he then has a total meltdown. Those are fun to watch.

>>18501698
Sports that require extreme agility are one of the only practical use cases for tight shoes, and old people tend to buy wider shoes because they're more comfortable and they don't care about being a /fa/ggot anymore. There is no other reason for shoes to not be shaped like a foot. I bought some flip-flops that were shaped like a typical insole instead of a foot and they look fucking retarded.

why do normgroids unironically believe that "arch support" is a thing and that if your shoes don't support your arch then you'll lose it and get flat feet? like why do they adamantly believe that our shoes are what maintain our foot shape? what do they think we did for the million years before we had modern shoes?
is this really just a result of marketing or schemes from Big Podiatry?

>>18502856
You have dainty narrow feet from cucking them all your life in narrow shoes. Your feet were already fucked. What barefoot shoes did was free them up a little too soon. You should have practiced by walking actually barefoot and build strength in your feet, before completely transitioning to barefoot shoes. Even a little bit of cushioning is still cushioning. That will put uneven load on your feet and fuck them up.

>>18502953
Normoids have been wearing shoes since they were toddlers. All they've known is bound feet, especially in first world countries. Faggot helicopter parents never let them play barefoot outside because dirt and soil are "icky" and will give them foot parasites ore something. So they actually think they NEED shoes to maintain the shape of their feet, as if their feet are made of play dough that will fall apart without foot binding.

>>18502848
>i'm going to feel like shit when i'm old regardless
Yeah I'm going to die someday anyway might as well stand in the middle of traffic

this sort of approach just makes me want to give up and stop trying, my feet are already fucked

>>18502961
>normal shoes is like Chinese footbinding
Not real.
>children aren't allowed to go barefoot
Not real.
>people think they need shoes to maintain the shape of their feet
Not real.

You people are fucking hilarious. Definitely not in a cult though!

>>18502970
i think the mental pain of looking back on my life and seeing that i wasted my years dressing like a complete retard would vastly outweigh a little foot or back pain when i'm already old and decrepit but live your life however you want i guess.

Hey, bitch cunt my feet are wider than normal shoes. So what the fuck else am I supposed to wear for 12 hours a day?

>>18502775
genetics

>>18503252
Explain then, why I see deformed feet every time I go to the beach or swimming pool?
Argument over, I will take my trophy and leave now

>>18505745
Because, fuck you

>>18505745
People often wear shoes that don't fit and women wear high heels, both things are genuinely bad for your feet.
I've spent literally 95%+ of my life barefoot (actually barefoot, not birks, not flipflops, not chink barefoot junk) and I can jump straight into work boots with no issue. You retards just need to accept that normal shoes fit most people fine and aren't destroying their feet.
You can buy wide size normal shoes if you have retard feet.

>>18505745
why are you so obsessed with other peoples feet? no one cares about your weird monkey toe fetish nigger.

>>18505769
get foot Mogged
