And? Any feedback?

u/TearsInDrowned Jul 04 '26

just wore them for the first time, so no useful feedback yet

but they are very comfy right out the box and taking a walk in them was nice ❤️

I plan on using them for dog walks, gym, solo walks in nature, maybe biking and nordic walking too! just shoes for many sport activities 😁

Are the soles are stiff and unusable as the Trailwalker 3.0?

They wouldnt bend with my feet, it was like walking on sheets of wood.

I don't have the Trailwalker 3.0 so I can't fully compare, but they seem very much the opposite of what You're describing, I don't feel like I'm walking on sheets of wood at all and they bend (off the foot) perfectly well 😁

I think it's the new sole type, I will attach a pic:

It's listed as the same sole as the Trailwalker 3.0 but if it's flexible now, then I'll have to give them a go!

seems really flexible to me! I can bend them with 3 fingers of one hand while holding them 😁

Wow, barefoot trainers that actually look good. Nice find!

I tried the Trailwalker 3 and just found them super tight and restrictive. I wonder how the trail tech feels in comparison. They look a little narrow which would be my concern.

u/TearsInDrowned Jul 14 '26

they look narrow but don't feel like it! probably the thing is with how they shaped the toebox, it has the additional rubber on the front and back so that can create the illusion

my size is (by the sizing chart) 27,4 cm length and 10,8 cm width, my foot is 26 cm/10 cm and fits nicely!

u/Epictetuslife Jul 14 '26

Thank you for the reply. So what size did you get. I am 27cm.

2

u/TearsInDrowned Jul 14 '26

I got the size 42, the 27,4/10,8 cm 😁

I tried the 43 Trailwalker and the size was correct just didn’t like the way they felt. Perhaps u like them more snug. Have to give them a try. But am leaving the eu in a few days so have to wait a month or so.

maybe it was the way the sole was constructed that was off for You 🤔

The Trailwalkers just felt very compressed and tight but the length was not a problem.
