Agree - there seem to me to be at least three different “niches” caught up in the barefoot ideology: wide toe box, zero drop, zero cushioning.
I want a wide toe box, I don’t know whether I care about zero drop, but I definitely don’t want zero cushioning.
I’m heavy and not interested in the soles of my feet getting pounded, but I do want my toes to have wriggle room.
