Hi all in the process of switching all of my activewear to natural fabrics and I’m stuck on bike shorts.

I have some great ones from Dilling, but they don’t have any pockets.

I love this set from Icebreaker but unfortunately the lining is not wool, and hence what is the point. https://eu.icebreaker.com/it-it/products/abito-150-active-ib0a56z6001

Other brands I’ve searched include
- unbound
- rewoolution
- Pak
-Brawyn
- Merino Country
- Aiua
- Estroni
-icebreaker
-smartwool
-Arms of Andes

I live in the EU so there are quite a lot of brands that don’t ship here unfortunately such as
- wooly
- Branwyn
- simply merino

Any other suggestions?

Hi all, I apologise because this is only barefoot adjacent, as I’m looking for a wide toe box shoe with some padding - note I wear barefoot sandals and sneakers for day to day life but for running I’m a big stomper and even in my normal shoes my area under big toe gets sore from hitting the ground with force.

I have seen lots of recommendations so I’ll put them below but the main thing I have seen in the Altra and Topo is this massive cushion. For context when I am running I currently use the New Balance Gortex 200R and they are very stiff not squishy.

I guess I’m looking for a stiffer, tennis type shoe with a wide toe box for running?

Would love some suggestions ☻

For my foot dimensions around the widest part base of the toes is 10.4cm I generally wear a rectangle foot shape rather than the bean shape- but open to bean. Affordability is important for me rather than style because this will be a purpose only running/tennis shoe.

Thank you for your help 💪
