One inch sensor in a phone is incredible. Hope that tech makes it over here

Superfeet are pretty great, but spendy. All the good ones are. Sole are also good but dont last as long ime.

Make sure you test the same marker and finish on a scrap pie ce first to make sure the ink doesn't run

I hear you. But at the same time if you brodozered your wheelchair mover with a bush bar and off road tires, I'm still yoinking the step stool haha.

More seriously, yeah it sucks there are so few practical vehicles being made that aren't the size of an Asian elephant.

There is no world in which I'd see that truck without stealing the step stool.

I use a keyboard remapper to change the key next to space (windows maybe? Not at my desk) to control. So acts like cmnd. You could do the same in reverse on mac instead. I also recommend changing right opt on mac to forward delete. Gamechanger, that one.

I have a seriously hard time believing there's anyone dumb enough to buy that

I'll take "last organisms standing on earth" for 100 , Alex.

I suppose the double edge sword of sponsoring an F1 team is more scrutiny. They should know better.

I mean traditional shoes take away stability. Probably the most stable foot is a strong bare foot. Minimal barefoot shoes probably take away some stability but a negligible amount.

Stability comes from toe splay, and engaging the arches of the foot. Traditional shoes bind the toes, making your foot narrower than it otherwise would be, and less stable. They also have foam, providing an unstable surface, and usually arch support, preventing your arches from engaging.

But - most people have weak feet from years of wearing shoes that weaken their feet. If you have weak feet, then most of these things (arch support, foam, tight fit, heel drop), will increase the stability of a weak foot.

Your feet will strengthen as you do exercises with minimal shoes. Over time, you will become more stable than you could be a traditional shoe.

In my experience - at least after my feet got stronger - shoes take away more stability than they add. You're on the right track with your other comments: you need flexible soles for lunges if you are going to take advantage of the full range of motion of your toes, and improve that range. For ohp, a wide shoe is nice as it helps your toes splay out and create a wide base.

I'm not sure where you are, but in Canada there are barefoot shoes on Amazon called whitin and joomra that are super cheap. I like the joomras more, they just seem better made, but both have very squeaky soles, which sucks. Still, they are cheap and feel great. I have 3 pairs: one for boxing and gym, one for town, and one tighter pair for baseball. Highly recommend.

I'm a big believer in barefoot shoes for lifting (and basically everything), and there is very little difference between all of xeros shoes. The running ones will be fine IF a barefoot lifting shoe is what you want. If you want a shoe with a big heel wedge, xeros are not it.

Maybe watch some YouTube videos on barefoot lifting before deciding. It's better for flexibility and range of motion and balance, but not necessarily getting the heaviest lift.
