A pair of Lems Chillum shoes. They have a wide toe box and zero drop but still look and act like a real shoe compared to something more “barefoot”. My current daily driver.

I had a pair of "WHITIN" ones from Amazon and as much as I like the wide toe box, the fact that there was no cushion what-so-ever was a deal breaker. I am fine with a zero drop, but cushion is a necessary. When I hear the barefoot argument that "that's how we evolved", I agree. However, hard floors are somewhat of a new thing for humans and cushion is a necessity for me. Also, these look much cooler.

I have a pair of Whitin zero drops. I added a heel cup that gives a bit of cushion and changes it from a zero drop to like a 1mm drop. The addition made the shoes feasible for my needs and they're way cheaper than Lems.

Significantly cheaper.

I agree! These have a cork cushion inside, I’m a big fan after wearing for 1 year.
