I grew up in a Beach Community so clutching in bare feet was my norm.



Within the last year, I transitioned to the somewhat controversial style of "barefoot shoes" like xeroshoes (I wear the Prio style). I find wearing these shoes allows for wonderful heel and toe shifting but only for shorter stints as they are (at best) minimally protective.



As should be obvious, barefoot style shoes have no place in a real racing environment. For instance, over rough pavement and offroad surfaces, I find the back of my heels take far too much of a pounding.



Overall, though, the white shoes shown a few posts above look like what I would normally have gravitated to for more "spirited" daily driving.


P.S. Since I don't want this thread to devolve into an argument about the merits of barefoot style shoes, let me just say, they aren't suitable for most people who enjoy soft, or thick tennis shoes. And, they are not easy to transition into.
