Wave aqua shoes

Lidl supermarket sells Wave aqua shoes for 6.99 euros, so I picked up a pair for a short test run.

One shoe weighs 175 g (size 42/8), so it's not ultra light by any means.


They seem to work well for running, although they are not meant for that purpose. Perhaps they could be a poor man's Vibram Five Fingers KSO's, which are crazy expensive in Europe - 104 euros!

I live in Brussels and buy my KSO from the USA. Despite the shipping and import taxes they are still about 30% cheaper than buying them here!

Yes they don't seem to believe in widespread barefoot running trend in Europe, so they have decided to market VFF as some sort of unique luxury lifestyle fashion instead. I'm waiting for the prices to fall soon.

I'm also looking forward to the new Feelmax Niesa shoes in June.

Then there will be another new competitor called Skora, they have announced that it will be launched next year, whatever it is.
