How do you think the ECS soles would hold up to some light but daily use on pavement and hard polished floors in shops? I mean short trips to pick up some groceries after fishing/hiking/walking the dog. My wife and I spend a lot of time outside on cold wet ground, but I tend to only wear one shoe for all occasions for a single day, lol. And we basically have two seasons, wet/cold and summer. My all-rounder now is a Jim Green Barefoot African Ranger, but it is more of summer boot and kind of heavy. I've been interested in the Forest Escape for a while now but I'm on the fence. I could benefit from a pair of SG style soles for sure but kind of want them to pull double duty. Thanks for the comparison.

Hi. Which tread do you think performs better - this or the Primus trail SG? Particularly thinking about grass/ mud. I'm looking for a good barefoot shoe to play football in!

100% The boots are great and look great. Always getting compliments about them. But those bloody speed hooks. I've got my own technique now but yeah definitely annoying

Great video, and very comorehensive, thanks! Im just wondering about sizing, i usually wear UK 10.5, so wondering whether to size down to 10 or up to 11? Any ideas based on your experience?

I wonder if they created these eyelets to keep the shoelaces from snagging on the other boot like in my other vivobarefoot’s

I've recently had scalp Micropigmentation aka SMP head tattoo. Love it as it suits me and got this model. Remington rx7 it's brilliant and feels smooth after the save. Theirs one huge con against it and it's the cleaning side of things. The hair clogs up in the small parts of the blades and you can't run the water through to clean it, you've got to get a small pin and try to unclog each blade. This is harder then the pit bull from what I've seen but this is better quality then pit bull skull shavers. Done alot of research and rx is closer shave, built better but it's the cleaning process that is it's downfall. I know the blades are harder to find to buy. So places in UK at argos have them and amazon have the cheap replicas that work with them. I'm still on my original blade from when buying it 6 months ago. The lights on this show the battery status and I like it but sometimes it'll show half full with 2 lights out of 4 and it'll stop working due to been out of power. Also it won't start up if it's clogged. It'll flash. So one or more blades are clogged and isn't spinning around. Once you get by this, it's a great little machine. Every now and then it needs a deep clean so just rinse it, soak it and try to get the hair out of the blades. You should really bang it out and rinse everytime you use it. Maybe add a small bit of oil on each blade and leave out to dry. I've heard coconut oil is good. Thanks for the video.

are these shoes suitable for warm winter and non rainy days?

Are these good for snow?

How is the AT grip compared to the Michelin ESC?

You definitely need good shoulder health to do these movements

Barefoot shoes seem like an oxymoron. How long such thin soled shoes last? They take a punishment off-road. Looks to me like they would leak after you stepped on a rock or a pointy branch a couple times. I don't think shoes need to support ankles. But be strong enough not to break when you are on an uneven terrain.

Do these run long like the Primus Lite IIIs? I wish vivo ran half sizes. 9 feels too small over all but 10s are super long, lol.

kinda sad set of "speed hooks" on those boots

Do they feel stable to you? I'm currently looking at these, and the motus strength.

Vivo makes such good looking shoes.

I love them, one of my favourites in my collection. I just wished they did half sizes for these as I had to size up 2 times for them to be good. I am usually a UK 7 (with good space around toes and in front) and had to go to UK9 for them. Feel an 8.5 would be great for me. A part from that they are great I wear them cor everything, parks and forest when dry, office, etc

Have you ever worn them in rain? Would like to know how well they handle a little bit of wet weather. Nothing extreme.

Have them and love them, although the tread of the bottom would be better with something for rugged similar to their other boots.

What are your thoughts on wearing these?

What brand is that beanie you have on your head in the beginning of the video? And where can I buy it? 🙂

Both codes OBJ20 and OBJ25 don't work anymore. Can you check on this?

Do you still climb? How can we climb but still not damage our feet?

Used your OJ25 coupon and it worked, i have the forest esc in an 8 and they are huge! Was looking for a more casual wear so the magna in a size 7 is it!! We’ll see if the sizing works out…Thanks so much for the great review and the coupon! 🎉

how are these on ice and in the snow?

Great body shape!

Jojoba oil is a great moisturizer. I use it every day.

Why’s the vivobarefoot code not working ?

Man I'm so tempted to get those but they just look horrendous

Great review, covered a lot of my questions 👏🏾 I'm a lady with wide feet and thinking about getting the men's boot sized down. Love the utilitarian look - very nicely unisex 👌🏾

DISCOUNT CODE NOT WORKING IN CANADA- I tried both codes. ANy suggestions? thanks

They are cold and not wr at all

Could these be used as a casual boot?

Chill vibes, literally! 🥶 That looks a lovely spot for a dip. I’m doing a wild sauna and sea dip combo this week 🌊🔥

Nooo I just ordered mine and missed the discount hahahah

Great little video Owen. Had to make do with a cold outdoor shower (twice) today. That’s a very peaceful vibe you’ve made today 👍

Would you like to see more content and adventures like this? Did the chilled nature vibes came through? Let me know your feedback 👍

are the tracker forest esc also suitable for winter? Do they keep you warm and are water-repellent?

I was about to buy the rx7 but after watching your review, I am definitely not going after it and I’ll stay with my old Philips shaver, which seems to be doing the job exactly the same + foam & razor after that. Nothing can replace a good old Wilkinson.

Great video, but please just attach the mic to you chest as it's designed. It sounds terrible that close to your mouth

Man, you not talked at all about sizing, fit, volume, toe box width...this is number 1 for me in all barefoot reviews😅.... are they same stiff as vivo gobi canvas?

This or motus flex/ strength 😅?

Thank you soo much for helping me get 3 of them. Can't wait to put them to use. Happy Thanksgiving also!!

Thank you. Watching reviews such as yours shows me more and more how a standard razor seems to be best for me.

Cant find it on my android. I hate technical devices.

natural oil - i got some apricot oil and i really like how that feels and smells on the skin.

great vid!
