I’ve been running in barefoot shoes for several years, and xero hfs for the last two years. I find that they wear out rather quickly, in the range of 230-250 miles

What brands have longer lasting materials for the sole? Are there any that could stretch to 300 miles and beyond?

    New Vivo with Michelin soles are awesome. Alternatively Joe nimble, altra, or Merrell with vibram soles.

      Vivo with Michelin soles is really interesting. I’m running on a 6mm stack height right now, and I remember vivos are about the same. Will definitely give them some attention

      How recent did they start using those soles? I bought a pair of Vivos in January but they’re already wearing out pretty significantly and I don’t do any kind of serious running in them.

        Relatively new. They’re on the tracker and Novus right now. I have the trackers and they are barely scratched despite using them heavily all winter and spring.
