Vivobarefoot - Hydra ESC

Just about every other barefoot shoe is not going to perform well in the environments you mentioned. Companies make barefoot boots for that. I plan to use them for walking the dog on trails, and maybe trail running on dry days. Vivo hydraesc are my go to trail running shoe currently.

I just bought these for the exact same reason/use (Wales), haven't had a chance to try them yet, but they feel much more barefoot friendly than the inov8 shoes I had been using.

I wear minimalist/barefoot/zero drop shoes day to day. I also hiked 1300 miles of PCT including all of JMT (well, the large part that overlaps) wearing a mix of Altras and Topos. I much prefer the Topos as simply much more durable and a bit more supportive, well worth the small weight penalty. Currently rocking the Traverse model. The year after my big hike, I attempted to hike a pretty tough 120-mile section "off the couch" using Vivo barefoot shoes instead of tried-and-true Topos. It was a total disaster. By mile 13, the soles of my feet were two giant blister cushions. I hobbled out the next day nearly crying from pain and hitched home, utterly defeated. Turns out padding and isolation from scorching hot jagged/sloped black basalt surfaces is important. So yeah, as u/_m2thet says, barefoot is good for maintenance of foot strength and gentle tread in normal, less demanding life conditions. Then when you put your feet to a hard test, you still want all the protection you can get.
