PSA: if you want to try the concept of the vibram 5 finger shoes (minimal cushion, ability to splat your toes normally), but understand that they look rather silly you can look for zero drop shoes. There are several brands out there that look like traditional shoes while giving a similar benefit.
I own an old pair, I think they’re FILA. I used them as trail runners but it’s been awhile. The more strange and difficult part was finding toe socks to go with it.
More the barefoot shoes, like vivo barefoot and whitin. Just know, if you are doing a ton of walking without conditioning and/or streching, you are gonna get hurt. So the alternative is zero drop shoes, like Altra.

What if I want the reverse, shoes that have nice cushion to them but look like toe shoes?

But what if I want to look like it’s 2012? Cuz that’s the last time vibrams were cool
