In this video, I dive into the Bearfoot Ursus Gen 2 minimalist shoes—both the suede high tops and the canvas low tops. I’ve been wearing Bearfoot shoes for years, and the Bruins are basically glued to my feet at this point. But how do these new Gen 2s stack up against the originals?
I’ll break down:
• What changed in the Gen 2 (hint: it’s not just the outsole)
• Why I don’t love the suede high tops
• Why the canvas low tops might be the perfect minimalist gym + lifestyle shoe
• Sizing tips based on my experience (and what I’d do differently)
• Who these are best for (gym rats? barefoot casuals? puddle-walkers?)
