Found a big mirror on the way to a local barefoot shoes shop where my friend, who is visiting me, wanted to get his first pair. Any barefoot shoe fans on TFL? It's a very interesting topic.

nice jacket. Vanson Chopper?

Are those barefoot shoes the ones with no real sole, just a very thin rubber layer to make it more like walking around, well, barefoot? They're not something as appealed to me, but I think my wife would love them.

A Chopper it is indeed. Slightly too large for me (as most clothes in my life) but good enough to keep for the time being.

@Batoidea gave a nice overview about the barefoot shoe idea : https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-jacket-are-you-wearing-today.82949/post-3013757
Personally I prefer a thicker sole purely for durability, but wide toe box is a no-brainer absolute positive for me. No heel drop and no arch support also seem like a healthy long term investment.
In the context of boots (which is what I wear 80% of the time) you can look up "Munson last".
My dream pair of boots is a pair of Nicks in their Munson-inspired last.
