i wear vibram komodosport LS, vibram bikila, new balance minimus zero.
unfortunately, after just one year of disc golf, the komodo LS toebox has ripped open due to sticks/debris getting stuck between the toe and my bikilas are starting to do the same. the new balance minimus sole is down to nothing and only the EVA foam is left so i can't wear them.
so i took to wearing the shoes i bought for barbacking, my redwing 8672. incredibly gummy soles for great slip resistance, pretty much waterproof, and after having gotten a ton of chemical cleaners splashed on them and soaked with alcohol, trash juice and whatever else was in that bar . . . they look just fine. even the shards of glass in the soles of the shoes popped out and they're fine.
i noticed a couple things right away, though - i can't throw very well in these shoes; i feel too far off the ground, haha. however, it's funny that vibram makes a sole for a shoe better than the soles on their own fivefingers. i can't wait for a truly sticky, beefy sole on the five fingers. that spyridon and the trek don't have me convinced at all. i want my feet to stop spinning on the teepads. they need to make a true barefoot/hiking hybrid, similar to the inov8 bare-grip, but maybe with a little less emphasis on the lugs for sure. i'd buy the **** outta that, especially if they do a full rubber wrap-around to get rid of the seams ripping out due to debris between the toes.
