The eyelets seem to have worn down on them a lot and while they still work, after 4 months of frequent use I can’t help but think that’s a weak point. The sole is fairly thin, and on rocky/gravelly trails I can feel the ground a little too much for my liking. The neoprene ankle sock fits snuggly to your feet preventing dust and debris from entering the boots.

We only recommend gear that we love from companies we trust and we are under no obligation to give a positive review. Even my buddy who is a sneaker-head and hates barefoot shoes saw these and said “what kicks are those? They are so lightweight that I barely notice them on my feet and they make me want to trot along and jog occasionally when I wear them. If you’ve got questions about the best Vivobarefoot shoe for you, then please just drop a comment and I’ll be glad to hit you up ASAP!

Merino wool socks IMO are a must have when it comes to barefoot shoes and they’ll improve comfort, smell, and temperature range over cotton/polyester/nylon socks.

They use sustainable and eco-friendly materials in their shoe production, such as recycled plastics and natural fibers. Hard-wearing, lightweight and waterproof, the Tracker II FG lets you tackle any terrain while reconnecting you to nature. I tend to wear cuffed pants either sportswear or leisure and crew socks, or ankle socks and shorts for the hot summer.

As I like to live and travel as minimally as possible, having versatile shoes to handle many weather conditions is important. Vivos are designed with thin soles to help reconnect you with the ground, and provide flexibility for strong, healthy feet.
