What do you think to the colour? 🧡

[@jeremyhershberger3012]

Such an innovative bespoke construction approach. I will be watching in anticipation of it coming to market. I also look forward to hearing the long term review.

[@OwenJackson]

Jeremy you legend. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻 Love to hear your enthusiasm and I will be sure to keep you updated in coming videos 🦶🏻 all the best on your adventures 😊

[@vivobarefootTV]

Yes Owen! So beautifully shot and articulated!

[@OwenJackson]

Big Love legends 🫶 As always, I appreciate the hard work of the Vivo team behind the scenes that make my adventures what they are, with products like these 👣 Exited for the future 🤙

[@Dwyane1st]

This is incredibly cool, both the product and concept. With the development in 3D printing technologies, fully bespoke grab-n-go footwear and perhaps even garments is definitely going to be the next phase.

[@OwenJackson]

Couldn't agree more! Love your enthusiasm Dwayne, thanks for watching. What do you think of the colour? 🧡🔥

[@Dwyane1st]

@@OwenJackson loved it! I always thought vivobarefoot has been too conservative in their colorway. This one really pops and just looks right innit? I recently got the motus strength in the blue tint colorway, it's nice to see them playing with more colors.

[@Paul9]

Really exited to see how these develop as really struggling with the lack of width and ever more tapered last shape in a few Vivo models, particularly their running shoes. I even wish Vivo just did a couple of different last shapes like other barefoot brands have started to, a standard transitioning one and a full hobbit mode after your feet have spread like mine. 😆 I was very tempted to apply for the tester program but almost exclusively trail run and couldn’t justify it. Would be awesome if there was a SG sole option in the pipeline.

[@OwenJackson]

hahahah, your comment about going full Hobbit made me lol! There is some exciting talk of taking the made-to-measure technology into other vivo lines once this initial phase has been tested. which brand offer different width sizing? i'd be curious to check them out.

[@aravindvinayakan]

Ridiculously cool! Can't wait till the day I can pick a pair up locally!

[@OwenJackson]

love to hear it Aravind 🙌 what colour would you pick if you had a choice? what do you think of the orange?

[@RecoveryLabTV]

Love the video buddy & absolutely LOVE my VivoBiomes too! They’re SOOOO comfortable, aren’t they. Love your pointers that you made. How did you find running in them?

[@OwenJackson]

Thanks for watching Chris, great to be connected through the pioneer scheme. The knit feels fantastic. Excited for what the next stages of development will have to offer. How are you finding them?

[@SoHawful]

Love my vivos, this is nuts, really hope to try this one day

[@OwenJackson]

hey Hawful, love to hear you're excited about the innovation and can't wait until the day you try your own bespoke pair 🙌 happy barefoot adventures my friend 🦶

[@ferryvantichelen6521]

Actual cool tech

[@OwenJackson]

AGREED 🤩 love that tech is being used to make a positive impact. As humans we inevitably make an impact on the world around us, but we have a responsibility to minimise the negative impact and counteract that with positive measures by harnessing tech. thanks for watching and be sure to stay tuned for future videos ✌️

[@ChrisCrossEatsSomeMoss]

Thank you for the review! PS: Bennerley Viaduct looks so good in your video.

[@OwenJackson]

Great spot Ophelia 🤩 🌉 do you enjoy it there too? Thanks for watching and the support. I can’t wait to review the next phase of the biomes. Are you a barefoot enthusiast? 🦶🏻

[@ChrisCrossEatsSomeMoss]

@@OwenJackson we go there on our family walks there quite often. It's great that it has been restored as the walk between two canals is so much easier now. This is a very stunning "shortcut" indeed. I'm only starting my barefoot journey. Trying to run in my new vivos is my next challenge. 🙃

[@OwenJackson]

A great place for family walks for sure, super wholesome. With barefoot running, gradual pace and mileage increasing, posture and cadence is key with barefoot transitioning. Enjoy your runs and listen to your body. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy moving your body 😃 You may have also heard of the benefits of nasal breathing. I go into the application and science with videos on my channel 😊

[@TheBarefootStrengthProject]

Great video mate - can't wait to get mine through in the mail! Very curious to know find out how the 3d printed sole will hold up with my chonk running in them 😆

[@OwenJackson]

Thanks for watching brother Clem 🙏 Can't wait to hear your thoughts and see you putting them through their paces 👣

[@brunonjezic6208]

Now this is interesting. As a Pearson that is in to quality footwear and having my own ideas this could fill the place of barefoot shoe in my rotation. I do have weird approach to the subject thinking that the best way to treat feet is to have really diferent footware and not only tipe so i do have different arch suport boots, flat sneekers and non suporting shoes in rotation. I didn't fint the right looking and exiding model until this. Moste of them are to wide so they just fall of my feet in the right lainght due to the fact i have thin feet and ball. This could work

[@OwenJackson]

The custom fit would definitely help with your unique foot anthropometry. Also, in the future, being able to customise the design will appeal to your unique style and you could have your shoes reflect your flare 🤩 Thanks for watching Bruno, more videos to come

[@Stew-rl9qk]

Right now I use a heat gun to loosen up vivo blooms so they are wide enough for me. I’m interested in the scan approach so data of actual human feet could be reflected in all their shoes.

[@OwenJackson]

Yo Stew, thanks for watching. The custom fit will really help with anthropromiphic differences and allow your unique structure to be accounted for, so no more heat gun and widening required.Exciting times. how are you finding the blooms? I'm yet to try 😃

[@kevincopeland6698]

Do you know when these are ready for general public? Will it be after the three stages?

[@OwenJackson]

They look great right Kev 🤩 There were a limited amount of general public as part of the pioneer programme but I’d imagine once the technology and process is streamlined from the feedback, it won’t take much for this to be rolled out and available more widely 👍 The next Biome production run is just around the corner [V2] I will be sure to keep you updated as we continue through this process and learn more 🦶🏻

[@kevincopeland6698]

@@OwenJackson Arh great please 🤞🏼👍🏼 do I basically live in my primus lite III’s love um got the all weather as well. Really appreciate your reply

[@OwenJackson]

the Primus Lite are fantastic 🙌 the benchmark by which i compare all other barefoots for fit and movement flexibility. I'm yet to try the all weather version in Primus Lites, how are you finding them? Thanks for watching and your continued support 🙏

[@kevincopeland6698]

@@OwenJackson looking forward to more updates on Vivobiome

[@OwenJackson]

for sure 😃 i've confirmed my preference for the V2 Vivobiome. They'll hopefully arrive before the festive season!! A Christmas present for my feet 🎅🏻🎁🦶 All the best over the festive season and into the new year, thanks for all your support 🙏

[@mathewsotieno1422]

Looks good .are these prototype.?

[@OwenJackson]

Thanks for asking Mathew, they’re an early production model for testing. So more developed than an initial prototype but not available to all consumers as yet. Just those who signed up for the pioneer programme. Is it something you’d be interested in in the future?

[@mathewsotieno1422]

@@OwenJackson would be interested bro 😀

[@tomfreyberg7020]

will there be such a scanner in berlin?

[@OwenJackson]

Thanks for watching Tom. I’d hope that once the concept has been proven and the technology becomes more accessible and localised that it will be rolled out internationally 😃 are you excited by the Vivobiome project?

[@anniwilson2534]

This is super exciting for the future of barefoot shoes. Vivo are market leaders in that. It’ll be interesting to see how they develop the range with the feedback from testers like yourself. Love the orange, but that design and sole wouldn’t be practical for me living in the sticks!

[@OwenJackson]

I hear you @@anniwilson2534 i'd love to see an all-weather or tracker version using the scan-to-print tech 🤩

[@TheEightRain]

my problem with vivo is that they do not last long. i have gotten through 2 pairs each in 1 season. then they are done. and unfortunately their customer support is quite bad in Germany, so i doubt these will be better. Gonna skip

[@OwenJackson]

I'm sorry to hear you've had less than ideal support Feanon. Care to share which pairs have worn so quickly? I'm always curious to hear people's experiences and with which particular models. Hopefully some of the short-comings of the past will be addressed with this new technology and more localised processing and manufacture.

[@TheEightRain]

@@OwenJackson A Pair of Addis that lost every seam in a season and a pair of Magna (I think they are called, the trekking shoe), that had glued parts come apart and are not nearly waterproof anymore.

[@OwenJackson]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Horstelin]

Same experience here with my primus lite 3

[@ekjellgren]

Fivefingers are the answer to this. Been around for forever =)

[@OwenJackson]

Thanks for the comment. Are fivefingers your favourite barefoot shoe? I own a pair of fivefingers and personally would choose vivos almost exclusively. Only a few specific applications would I thread my toes into the fivefingers. I understand your viewpoint but for my personal use case and preference, the vivos are more user friendly and have better aesthetics 😃 The Vivobiome are also specifically made to your foot sizing 📏 how cool is that

[@CptAngelADVlogs]

They need to fix that damn shallow duck shaped toebox. Uncomfortable and looks weird. Very sad to see it even in their custom shoes. Maybe they need to use a different last..

[@OwenJackson]

hi Aggelos, thanks for watching. In your opinion, how could vivo improve the last shape to accommodate yours and other peoples feet?

[@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee9531]

Environmentally responsible, one of those new terms 🙄 that no one cares about.

[@OwenJackson]

Each to their own. Personally, environmentally conscious decisions are appealing to me. Obviously this isn’t conclusive, but a survey in 2021 conducted by PWC found ‘85% of consumers have become “greener” in their purchasing habits. 79% of consumers are changing their purchasing habits to reflect their sense of social responsibility. 50% of global consumers say they have become more eco-friendly in the past six months’

[@natesilvers2166]

Some of us do care!

[@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee9531]

@nate Not really. All we care about is if the product works as intended at the end of the day. Especially compared to if the product works and hold up as intended whether they are "greener choices" or not. It's such a stupid term.

[@natesilvers2166]

​@@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee9531I care about the planet working too

[@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee9531]

Well. Good. I care about the planet but also civilization as well. I just wish that politics did not get involved with the global movement. Or did not originate from the elite class of people. If that is the case, then they can control information and can end up lying to us. Just the way how this entire carbon footprint thing works is anti-human. Before we get deep down into this conversation. Why is it that the political figures who are for the green deal for war? I mean they MUST know that war is not good for the environment. Is it not?
