Hey man! Thanks for the code and saving me over $100 bucks! I copped the Primus Trail Knit FG for hiking, Geocourt 3 for work, and some insoles on my RAs. Appreciate your channel and help in finding good info on minimalist shoes.

[@AndrewFolts]

Oh damn! Those are some nice savings. The Knit FG's a great pick, it's my favorite for all-season trail running and fast hiking. Need to try the Geo some day. Happy barefooting out there, Nate! (:

[@LucasH567]

Thanks Andrew! I used your 25% off code to get the primus knit III. My first barefoot shoe, and I am excited to get started!

[@AndrewFolts]

Good pick! That's my fav road shoe for all season use. Take it slow at first, get lots of rest, and you'll have a great time. Happy barefooting out there! (:

[@mansoorsohoolian8170]

Thank you so much for your great work. Much love from Germany ❤

[@AndrewFolts]

Right on, I've got lots of German in me, I need to visit sometime!

[@saiya769]

Thanks bro, got myself a pair of Primus Lite III :)

[@AndrewFolts]

Dope! I still have my original Primus Lite's. They're kinda torn up, but still usable after seven years. With luck, maybe they'll be around for a full decade, ha. Hope yours do the same!

[@jak0316]

thanks for the code . used it 2 weeks ago to buy a pair of gobi hiber

[@AndrewFolts]

Nice! I love that you can slip it on without tying/untying. I do love my Gobi Warmlined's, but I often grab the Hiber just because it's faster. Appreciate you shopping with the code. Have fun out there!

[@elidicerbo]

Already used your code few days ago for a pair of the new Tracker Leather AT’s!

[@AndrewFolts]

Perfecto! Great pick for winter hiking, Eli. That wraparound guard is ideal for slushy nasty conditions too, which makes winter yuck more bearable. Appreciate you using the link and happy barefooting out there!

[@Kasparovvvvv]

What an awesome video thank you very much. I’m making a petition for Vivo to increase the size of the toe box!!!

[@AndrewFolts]

I agree, I've told them many times, and that's the top request I hear from people. They don't listen to me, ha.

[@lochness54]

Thank you for your reviews! I was curious about which boot to get for more smart casual but everyday in fall, winter and spring? Looking at Gobi warmlined or Scott IV. I like the regular Gobi but I don’t want the all black.

[@AndrewFolts]

Those would both be great picks. IMO, the Gobi Warmlined is more comfortable/flexible if you're planning on walking longer miles, while the Scott is more structured (like a lightweight work boot). I use the Warmlined for my daily trail/urban walks and the Scott for nicer occasions like a date, concert, or family gatherings, etc. FOLTSY20 is active right now if you missed the 25% one.

[@lochness54]

Thank you!

[@GeneRosellini]

Please review the Primus Trail FG 2. It's much wider and better. Not sure they even sell the one in the video anymore.

[@AndrewFolts]

Interesting, do you have both? I wrote it off, but if it's wider that would def be worth another test.

[@GeneRosellini]

@@AndrewFolts Yeah i had and got rid of the 1st version because it didn't fit. 2nd version fits better and I have an extremely wide foot

[@StevenJC123-f8t]

If it’s of utility, here’s what Vivobarefoot says the differences are (however I will say it’s pretty non-specific language so I just ordered it anyway to see for myself): “Thank you for your email. Durability: The Primus Trail II FG is noted to be more durable than its predecessor Toe Box: The newer model has a slightly wider toe box, which provides more room for natural toe splay and enhances comfort Design: The Primus Trail II FG features a more foot-shaped design, promoting natural stability and movement Materials: Both models have a breathable mesh upper, but the newer version may have slight improvements in material quality and construction Fit and Sizing: Users have reported that the fit and sizing are quite similar, but the Primus Trail II FG might offer a slightly better overall fit due to its updated design Do hope this helps.”

[@thjshbr]

I tried a pair of the Gobi Warmlined and found they're a little too large. I'm going to return them, but I'm thinking of going with either the Tracker Leather AT or the new Tracker Winter SG II. Is the tracker sized the same as the Gobi (i.e. should I still size down?)

[@AndrewFolts]

I'm a 44 in all three. Vivo in general tends to be slightly long, especially their boots. You could size down if the Warmlined was significantly long, although consider that thick socks can take up a lot of room on cold days.

[@Smattyy]

I still can't get over the fact that your gobi winterised looks so much wider than my warmlined 😅 Mine are so narrow and I don't even have a wide foot. I'm gonna send them back. Wondering if I got a faulty pair or if they made this years model much slimmer😐

[@AndrewFolts]

My Mom bought the new version and complained about it being too narrow, so I wonder if they changed the fit. If so, that would be a really dumb move, because it was perfect. My favorite Gobi alternative is the Realfoot Trekker High. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKKlnKCLrK5pftk No problems whatsoever with the width, ha. Even tho I don't techincally need that much room it feels amazing and provides excellent traction for winter.

[@StanleySimons-ek4dz]

Hey Andrew! Any thoughts on the Freet Skeeby for road running? Thanks!

[@AndrewFolts]

I was just talking to them about sending me one test. Looks like a Freet Vibe kzbin.info/www/bejne/inOtlp-fjZytf80 with a more minimal knit upper, which seems like a nice idea.

[@YupVideoFever]

Hello, thank you for your videos. I have a question about size chart for women. It differs completely on vivaberefoot and revivo sites. Do you know where I could get a true size chart? For example, on Vivobarefoot size 37 equals 6 US, but on Revivo 37 esuals 7. And the length differs as well. So lost :(

[@AndrewFolts]

I would email Vivo's support to be sure, but my mom usually wears a 7-7.5 and the 7 Vivo's fit her with plenty of room at the end.

[@YupVideoFever]

@AndrewFolts Thank you! :)

[@jamieorc]

Did Vivo change the expiration for foltsy25? A few weeks ago you published Dec 10 as the expiration

[@AndrewFolts]

That was my mistake, I fixed it with a popup card when I went back to watch it and realized I mentioned the wrong date. It's always been Dec 5th.

[@T_Fizzle]

I've rocked Xero's and Fivefingers for several years but they both have over 6mm sole I believe. I'm curious if there are downsides to such thin 3mm soles? I heard they can be fatiguing on roads, and not enough protection for trails/ rough. What's your experience? What would be the best use cases for thinner and thicker soles?

[@AndrewFolts]

I find that 3-4mm is ideal for roads and I've gone for 15 miles without any issues, although I don't much care for pavement due to how flat and monotonous it can be. For trails 4-6mm is ideal for firm ground and 6-10mm for mud and steep hills.

[@T_Fizzle]

@@AndrewFolts Thanks!

[@StevenJC123-f8t]

I think this is very person specific. As an example, I find it very discomforting to walk in the Primus Lite III soles on pavement. However, can walk endlessly wearing the Primus Lite FG which has a slightly thicker sole as it’s meant for trail. The best way to find out is to try (but build your mileage up slowly and also mobilize/strengthen your feet). All this being said Andrew is absolutely correct in that walking off-pavement is much better for the brain and body / especially when attempting longer distances ;-)!

[@T_Fizzle]

@@StevenJC123-f8t thx friend

[@valdius85]

One day, when my finances improve 😂 You’ve showed few models I’d really like to own. Quick calculation equates to around $1000 😂

[@AndrewFolts]

Start a KZbin channel about barefoot shoes and brands will send them to you. You'll have so many you won't know where to put them all...which is a problem in and of itself, ha.

[@valdius85]

@ Don’t get me wrong, I’m not jealous of you and you do a good job :) … but you’ve shown like $2000 in that video :) Saying that, it might just be better to do some overtime :) My daughter is growing up, so in few years I’ll start hiking more and buy few Vivos :)

[@AndrewFolts]

@@valdius85 The reality is I only use maybe 5 or so shoes/boots on a daily basis, so although it's fun to test new ones, it doesn't really benefit me on a practical level. I keep them around to use for comparison videos, which people seem to find useful. It totally is weird tho, having like $15,000 of shoes just sitting around. The UPS driver was so confused until I told him what I do for a living, ha.

[@marnoster]

NZ buyers beware! I ordered some of their shoes from the NZ store two weeks ago and they still havent shipped, citing of the amount of orders they're getting??? They also cant give me an ETA for delivery. Looks like they've added a big disclaimer on their website now saying orders are delayed. I dont buy their reasoning. There's no way the Kiwi store can ship so many shoes that their website cant keep up with the orders. If you guys dont have the stock in the country you’re selling them, then don't sell them on the website and dont lie to your customers! I could have bought two pairs of Altras on Black Friday at the price I paid and then you can’t even deliver.

[@AndrewFolts]

I wonder if they ship to smaller, more remote countries in batches to save money, rather than as they receive the orders? But it def sounds unfair that the disclaimer went up after you ordered. Hopefully they get sent out soon!

[@lukasparo5125]

i had to do it.... im the 70th like..

Wait, just for random, or is there some special meaning to 70 I'm missing, ha? Appreciated either way. (:
