Prices up, quality down?
I bought my first Vivo shoes 5 years ago and never looked back to other brands or non-barefoot footwear. I had Geo Obsidian (twice), Magna FG, JJF Primus knit.
Now I am looking for something new to replace all three, so three pairs are in consideration.
But what I find concerning is the quality of the last pair, the JJF collection of Primus Knit, namely the glue that’s holding them together, which really didn’t stick for long, with holes started to showing up on the sides and heel area.
So now I’m a bit confuse, should I stick with Vivo or try one of many other brands that have meanwhile appeared?
Also the prices have gone like 40% up lately, but the quality down, Galahad what are you doing? 🤷♂️
I have seen some positive reviews about Xero shoes or something similarly named to printers 😁 while of course Facebook feed is flooded with ads from hobibear, groundies, shapen, belenka… even Merrell pops up occasionally.
So what do you guys?
