 Does anyone have barefoot style shoes to recommend?

 I have tried a pair of xero shoes and liked them, but the shoe separated from the sole way before they should have. Their sandles are great.

I want a wide toe box to allow my foot to splay as much as it wants. I like thin soles too

Thanks

 These are the thin soles that I like to use.

 Those look nice. I may pick up some sandals up if my xeros wear out. I didn't really see any shoes other than the split toe shoe. Do you wear those? 
 I have two Vivobarefoot (one for summer and one for winter) and I love them. The summer pair has a 4mm sole. 
 Nice. I was looking at these when I ended up picking xero.  
 Looks like the soles are sewed to the shoe, my zeros were not 
 What you mean?
I can send you a photo, but it's an old model 
 Is the upper cloth part sewed to the part of the bottom that wraps around the sides a bit. Now that I look closer that may be just a line.

 Mine are somehow glued, not sewed 
 Real leather grounds us but it's so hard to find them.  
 Maybe I buy some leather and make some moccasins. I like grounding. I'd be interested to see how well the grounding works. 
 Feel Grounds are clutch and look socially acceptable

Whitins are good too 
 Those look great. Definitely could be a daily shoe for work 
 really liking these https://wildling.shoes 
 Those look sick. I'm working on going feral, so the name fits 
 been loving the japanese paper shoes so far and they are surprisingly durable (just not the best with water) 
 The only ones I’ve tried are the Xero sandals and I love em. I’ve used them every day for 2 years and they hardly have any wear. I haven’t tried any of the shoes yet. Boat shoes or slip on Vans are the best regular shoe alternative I’ve used. If you find a good one, let me know! 
 Check out Vivo Barefoot  
 Second vivo recommendation 👊🤔
