Barefoot shoes?

[BewareTheBeardedDragon]

Does anyone wear barefoot shoes?
Do you find they help improve health and well-being in any way?
Are there any brands you'd recommend or avoid from experience?

I'm feeling tempted since my current shoes are falling apart, but don't want to make a potentially costly mistake.

I love xero and hobibear. I have some xero gym shoes, walking boots and ankle boots then a few pairs of hobibear in different colours for day to day wear. I had a bad bunion forming which is why I switched but it’s really reduced my back pain so now I could never go back
