Thanks
I know, i had both barefoot and stiff shoes, so i know what are the advantages and inconvenients, but there’s quite a world between them in term of flexibility, like walking shoes, trail shoes etc….
When i stated lightweight flexible boots people where proposing mostly army heavy stiff stuff so i added « almost barefoot » in order to recenter the collective conception about what was close to my flexibility level, but i should have had changed to « close to « trail shoes » which i’m gonna do right now.
I was thinking more about minimalistic than barefoot and put the wrong term, my fault.
What I'm looking for is something between the stiff army boot and the barefoot shoe, which would give something close to what a trail shoe would feel like, but all leather, no lining, no waterproof membrane, 18cm shaft, no heel, so these precise conditions are really downsizing the possibilities, and I know that.
I stated the Byteks Cobra which are the only exemple fitting the criterions above, in the hope that maybe someone would have ideas close to this but maybe there isn’t anything else like it, although that would surprise me.
