I like to keep things in my life from getting too complicated.
I use very little equipment in my workouts, I keep my diet as simple as possible, and I prefer clothing that favors comfort and performance above all else.
That’s why I was so excited to find out that my favorite manufacturer of minimalist footwear, Xero Shoes, has just released their first ever closed-toe shoe!
I’ve been wearing the new Xero Shoes Ipari Hana for the last few days and I like them a lot! They’ve definitely got that “almost-barefoot” feel that Xero Shoes wearers will know and love. They also feel better the more that I wear them, which is a good sign. I haven’t worn them enough to say for certain yet, but they seem very durable so far. The Ipari Hana are available for both men and women.

It’s also of note that the more your feet acclimate to the freedom these shoes provide, the more your toes may spread out and your foot will begin to fully stretch. This can cause your feet to feel wider, even if they technically don’t get bigger.
The Xero Shoes Ipari Hana are great for working out, but they’re also great for any occasion. They look as good with a pair of jeans as they do with workout pants. You can probably even wear them to work if your company isn’t too uptight with their dress code.
If you are looking for a shoe that feels as close to being barefoot as possible, the Ipari Hana from Xero Shoes is the perfect choice.
