Have you looked at Karhu? Finnish brand, the Fusion 2.5 comes in actual fog grey. No reflective, no bubble. Bit narrow though.

You try barefoot my friend it is changing life

This is the "I use Arch" of running. We get it. You have superior joints. The rest of us have flat feet and concrete.

This. My cousin did barefoot, now he talks about his "transition" like it's a personality. Bought five toe shoes. Wore them once.

My friend I am not saying everyone must do. Only it is changing life for me. My knee was bad before barefoot, now is better. But every body is different my friend. I find for you this Karhu, shipping to Czech maybe not bad?

Karhu is good shout. I got the Fusion 2.5 in lunar rock from a shop here in Rotterdam. €130, which hurts, but they don't scream at you.

Lunar rock = still grey? Or is it "lunar" like NASA lunar?

436 days. reboot is surrender.

It's grey. Slightly warm grey. Not moon boot grey. I have the same pair, also Rotterdam.

What about Saucony Jazz Original? They do a grey/white that is very 1984 office worker. Not technical running but for easy 5K it's fine. I see them in Brussels for €85.

Jazz Original is underrated. I have the navy but the grey is the one. Suede toe box gets wet though, not great for Antwerp autumn.

Here in Buenos Aires the import tax makes all of this academic. I pay 2x for anything not made here. I run in generic grey trainers from a local brand called Topper. Not beautiful, not terrible.

Topper Proffesional? I had those. Lasted 8 months of park running. Soles went flat like DNS propagation. Slow and inevitable.
