Next pair suggestions

These are my Primus Trail Knit FG’s that I wear as daily’s and love. I was entertaining getting a second pair once these are done but I saw on here recently that they’re not necessarily for pavement and are better for soft ground as far as longevity is concerned. What are your recommendations for a daily wear pair?
(Also the uneven wear is concerning, any gait correcting recommendations as well? 😬)

Time to re-sole after 6 months?

This is the wear on my Tracker soles after 6 months (3 months constant wear). Is it time to get them re-soled already? The heel and pads have the same wear as my non-barefoot boots after 2 years! 😬

Tracker Ora Sandals?

I got gifted a pair of the Vivobarefoot Tracker Ora Sandals but have no idea what to use them for. They're waterproof and good for hiking in the summer I was told? Are they also good for long walks in the city? They seem to run a little big for me but I'm not sure if that's normal for what it's used for?

Tracker Forest ESC - Forest Bracken or Obsidian?

Hi there,

I'm having a hard time choosing between the Forest Bracken and Obsidian for the Tracker Forest ESC. Anyone own both and are willing to chime in on which one they like the most and why?

All the shoes I own are either black or white so I'm a little scared of trying a different color haha

Thank you!

I just cut a hole around my big toe in my sock area to let my big toe splay and then put my shoes on. I think it’s going to work and this way the majority of my foot is covered so my shoes shouldn’t be that stinky and my foot should be able to splay pretty well. Has anyone tried this?

?

Sizing help

Im wanting to order a pair of Magna leathers for a friend who has never worn vivos, so im not sure if I need to order true to size (US12) or size down. The only reason I ask about sizing down is because I size down on all my vivos, and it's perfect for me. Im just wondering if you bigger shoe sized peeps experience the same thing. Thanks in advance for any input.

First vivo's

Prepping for winter. They were from €190 for €114 now. Any tips on keeping the leather soft? Hope i'll enjoy them. First winter on barefoot shoes and i get cold feet really fast

Alternatives to test sore feet and ankles

I have been a vivobarefoot wearer for a couple of years - they are all I wear now (bar one pair of Lems which I wear very occasionally).

I have been having some feet ankle and leg pain and want to know if the shoes have anything to do with it. I also have rheumatoid arthritis so pain is quite normal for me but I am beginning to wonder if different shoes would be better. The problem is I can't bear any narrow shoes and I really love the feeling of vivo. Particularly Forest ESC and Magna ESC (I think that's what the second pair are called - esc sole, knitted ankle).

What kind of shoes shall I try as an alternative to vivo to see if a little more support helps at all? My preference is 'hiking' type shoes/boots and I normally walk on trails/grass etc. Rather than pavements.

I got rid of my pre-barefoot shoes - keens and meindl wide fit - as both felt too narrow now.

Thanks

Too narrow, right?

Discount code

Anyone got a decent and working discount code? The last ones I saw in the channel don’t seem to be working.

TIA!

Barefoot brands + Vivo x terra plana thoughts

Any good barefoot brands that do a nice high quality barefoot combat boot?

I’ve posted about the sizing of the Vivo barefoot Gobi boots ii this past week. Aesthetically I love them, big thumbs up…. but sizing wise and comfort it’s just not working for me. When stationary my feet go slightly numb in them. So… I’m scowering around for a nice barefoot boot.

On a side note, the collaboration vivobarefoot did with terra plana have to be the most comfortable shoes ever. But they’re old 🥲
