If the idea of cramming your feet into rigid shoes does not appeal, it probably appeals less when summer comes around. British surf outfitters Finisterre and minimalist shoe brand Vivobarefoot got together to offer something that’s not really much of anything. The Eclipse sandal has a puncture resistant, ultra thin, extra flexible sole and adjustable Velcro fasteners — and that’s about it.
Designed for running, walking, and hiking, near or far from water, these are about as close as you can get to being barefoot while still making sure your feet are protected from all things sharp, jagged and pointy that inhabit the ground beneath you. If you’re thinking about giving your boots the summer off, these just might be the sandals that’ll make sure you can still get past that “no shoes, no service” sign. – $68
