These Minimalist Weather-Resistant Boots Might Be the Perfect Fall Footwear

Right now it’s still the middle of summer, and you’ve gotten used to the kind of light breathable footwear that make your dogs feel wild and free. You know you’ll have to go back to wearing heavy, weather resistant footwear at some point, but you’re not looking forward to it. But what if you didn’t have to sentence your feet to six more months in a maximum security foot prison? What if you had durable boots that were so light and comfortable you barely knew they are there? Going back to boots probably wouldn’t seem to bad, right? Well, we’ve got some boots we’d like you to meet. Behold the Fulham Boots from minimalist shoe specialists Vivobarefoot.

For those who might not be aware, the basic philosophy behind minimalist shoes, also known as barefoot shoes, is that less is more. Our feet evolved without shoes, the thinking goes, and they still work perfectly fine without extra padding, cushioning, or orthotics. The only reason we need footwear at all is to protect our feet from heat, cold, and cuts.

Of course, you don’t have to subscribe to a full-fledged footwear philosophy to find minimalist shoes appearling. Whatever your opinion on the intrinsic goodness or badness of orthotics for the flourishing of human feet, one thing we call all agree on is that lighter shoes are better than heavier shoes. Nobody in the history of the human race has ever tried on a pair of shoes and said, “I just wish these were like one pound heavier.”

This is particularly true when it comes to boots, which tend to be pretty cumbersome. That’s what makes the Fulham Boots from Vivobarefoot so incredible. Whether you’re card-carrying shoe minimalist, or you just want a pair of boots that don’t feel like bricks strapped to your feet, these Fulham Boots are for everybody.
