This is my third pair of zero-drop & wide toe box shoes that I've owned, and they're by far my favourite. The build quality is really nice so the finish on the finer details is crisp and they feel sturdy in a variety of uses. I work as a trainer and they've stood up to high demands so far.As they have a gloss finish, I put shoe protector spray (Crep) to keep them looking fresh.

I love these shoes! I’ve tried different bands, but not as good. I’ve had multiple pairs of these. I usually run 8-15km, 2-3 times a week, and more if training for an event. My last pair did nearly 900km before the sole wore through on outside of my feet (I overpronate). I wear them as casuals also. Beware though, don’t trail run in them, especially if rocky, the soles are thin.

First time wearing such minialistic shoes, the sole is very thin and you can feel every bump in grove in the ground, but there is enough support that it is not abrasive or uncomfortable, infact you grow to prefer it, especially when weight training or daily walking. Would high recommend. These shoes are shafe as my dox, chur

These are a staple for me & I hope that Vivo always continues manufacturing them. I was a bit disappointed a couple of years ago where I felt that the construction quality had dropped a bit (insoles not fitting properly, drop in quality of stitching etc) but looks like it is back to the standard I expect of Vivo. Really good all round barefoot shoe. I will say that the models of yesteryears were broader (but that could just me being nostalgic). Also very happy with Sole Mechanics & can’t wait to visit in person to try some other brands.
I bought a pair and within 100 days the does were showing visible wear patches. I contacted them and they issued a exchange. The second pair lasted 60days before I started seeing wear patches again. Contacted them again and they issued a full refund. They also refunded my shipping for my first return.The shoes feel great and are extremely thin. I don't know what happened with my shoes but I did normal walking no running, gym time as well. But the customer service was great and easy to work with over email it did take some time to get everything sorted but they are in Europe. The reason for two stars is solely for the customer service and the quality they offer. I am disappointed in these shoes because I wanted these shoes to be amazing and I wanted the boots and ... MoreI bought a pair and within 100 days the does were showing visible wear patches.

Incredibly comfortable shoes for every day use. After a month of wearing these shoes my feet are stronger and feel my toes are regaining their natural alignment. Perfect for the autumn/winter - I have been through mud, wet leaves, puddles and have no water leak inside. The grip has been adequate and have not experience any slips.No visible signs of wear after a month of every day use. Great shoes and I’ll be definitely purchasing more from Vivobarefoot.Delivery was quick and delivered in a waterproof delivery bag. Great service.
Awesome- for those who want minimalist toe shaped shows (wide toe box) for working out, running or even wearing casually. Great way to begin finding your toe freedom from toe crushing shoes.Do your research first and then buy into then, you won't be disappointed ❤️
my thoughts after having them for a couple of weeks:basically really bad/stiff soles which makes ur heels hurt, restrict their natural support and movement. and can’t walk forward naturally when attempting to bend toes to hold your foots weight/push you forward and lift from heel to toe before taking next step[unless you sort of force it with more pressure by running]also others have written that they are not very breathable (especially with running)also these laces are not good. get other laces if you want these shoes
