We need more biodegradable footwear! So many shoes end up in landfills year after year. Lono is doing it right. Love this brand’s mission and their high quality products.

[@AndrewFolts]

Definitely! Maybe someone will make a cardboard shoe next, ha!

[@cocainecarl7814]

Definitely a good alternative for 70 euros! What wins me over with Vivo is their returns policy and (mostly) good durability.

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, a lot of love with Vivo too. They have some great ground feel and I've also had mine last for 3-7 years minimum.

[@irynachaika]

This concept is revolutionary! If we had more shoes designed like this, we could significantly lessen our environmental footprint and move closer to a truly zero-waste lifestyle. It's an ideal we should all strive for.

[@AndrewFolts]

Hopefully more brands will start making biodegradable shoes, would make a huge difference for the planet!

[@kaushlaks]

These look like the perfect combination for gym workouts, trail running as well as casual wear. I love the sleek style and really dig the laces. Would be excited to try it out!

[@AndrewFolts]

They got a lot of things packed into one shoe, for sure!

[@kaushlaks]

@@AndrewFolts any thoughts on sizing? I'm a 44 on vivos, do they fit pretty much the same? Their size indicated that they might run small, but wasn't too sure

Yea, they're like Vivo's but less pricey and with some interesting extra features.

[@HrHr88]

Thanks to you, I started wearing barefoot shoes, and it changed my whole life! I could walk without any pain. Yesterday, I did 40000 steps hiking in barefoot shoes, and i had no pain! So thanks, Andrew

That's great, yo! What barefoot shoes did you use?

[@HrHr88]

Freet flex one of the most wide barefoot shoe

[@chris_1988]

This is the price range I hope to see more viable options in! These look very interesting, I like the off-center lacing.

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, props to Lono for making a high quality yet affordable option, it's quite rare. Thought the side lace was cool, as well!

[@jimjurek7911]

Got a pair of these a little bit ago and am absolutely loving them. Can't speak highly enough.

Well thought and executed product, so many features. I really love the whole ankle section, foam base insole and lace system. I'm curious how your long term results will be on their rubber sole also.

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, so many features it was almost overwhelming to review, ha! Being thicker than Vivo's I'd expect 1,000 miles bare minimum, but glue can always be an issue with any non-stitched shoe. Gotta love that divot, though. Seems to really reduce wear at the point of most flex/tension.

[@Gman1024]

@@AndrewFolts, the pivot divot is clutch, and a failure point of a lot of shoes, between pinching and rippage. Hey, they make shoe glue for a reason, so maybe they could be saved for some time if there's a bit of separation down the road.

2 years ago due to ongoing achilles issues I decided to transition into Altra zero drop. Now I have zero issues so I have just started wearing my 1st pair of vivobarefoot shoes, Magna Forests.

They do have that Vibe, yea, but even more minimal and flexible.

[@GammaCorvi]

I’d love to test them as they check all the issues I had with my tired Vibrams. Especially the side lace and crimp are something I really would look forward to.❤

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, the lacing and crimp notch are really quite clever!

[@kr0nj3]

It looks like, it would be an ideal shoe for casual wear in the danish climate. Warm for cool mornings, and breathable at warm afternoons.

[@AndrewFolts]

I bet, it's worked out well in unpredictable NY spring weather for me too.

[@tadghcr2175]

Thank you for sharing how many barefoot shoes are purpose-built in another video. You helped me figure out why my feet were hurting in my original Vivo Primus SG trail shoes!

[@rjirvine88]

Nice and minimal, yea.

[@LucidDreamer54321]

They are only available in grey color and only available in Chinese size 38 (US size 6.5).

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, I think I single handedly sold out the remaining stock of their first production run with my earlier video, ha. But the website says they're expected back around March 30th, or you can pre-order.

[@5minwatchreviews]

Would love them because quite frankly, finding solid barefoot shoe options here in the UK outside of the main brands and without paying ridiculous shipping costs is near impossible 😅

[@AndrewFolts]

[@LandonWilsonArtist]

I'd love to try running in these. Still running in "normal" shoes.

[@AndrewFolts]

Nice! Does make a great transition shoe. Good luck!

[@MatOnMotors]

I'm currently preparing for a strongman competition, and really in need of some new barefoot shoes for lifting in! After this, I'm interested in trying barefoot running for the first time. Really exciting that the Primus Lite is getting much stiffer competition now with all these great looking options coming out, like #lonoflow !

[@AndrewFolts]

Right on! I lifted for years in the Primus Lite's and the Flow's are def a great alternative.

[@ALAKAZOOVOLANT]

At 300$ tax in for the vivo primo lite 3 in Canada, it is no longer an option. I went to the Lono website but everything seems to be in pre order only.

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, that's rough for Vivo's. Revivo is a cheaper alternative, tho. bit.ly/3MEsjBm As for Lono, I probably single handedly sold out the first production run with my first impressions review earlier, ha. With small companies they often have to do preorders, because it's too expensive to do a manufacturing run without a ton of preexisting cash.

[@ALAKAZOOVOLANT]

@@AndrewFolts you've probably seen me complain about their new pricing before but things aren't getting better even with Revivo where often the pricing is more than ordering in the usa and crossing the border to get new vivos. They are pricing themselves out of the market and it's unfortunate given I've been a customer for more than 10 years. I am hoping that Lono's idea of biodegradable is not like vivo where their vegan material falls apart after two seasons.

[@AndrewFolts]

@@ALAKAZOOVOLANT As with any company they wouldn't be charging that much if they weren't getting the sales to support it, so it must be working for them. My original Primus Lite's are still usable after 7 years, so they've been well worth it to me.

[@popuppete]

I like Vevos but their Canadian prices are out of hand. Have been for several years. I only recommend them if you can ship them to a friends place in the USA.

[@ALAKAZOOVOLANT]

@@popuppete Before they did the switch to their Canadian distributor, they used to deal with a broker who would charge taxes and duties, which was a lot more expensive than the old way of buying from them. Essentially, when the new people took over, they took that cost ( price + exchange + duty + taxes) Then they added their markup and then you get charged tax on top of it. That's why the pricing is out of whack.

[@JAnth93]

They feel and fit similar to Vivo's, except with a tiny amount of padding and slightly thicker sole. But yea, for less than half the price, they're a fantastic alternative.

[@rubricsuxi]

I've been transitioning to barefoot shoes for the past year by wearing Lems. Toes are no longer cramped and I'm surprised that i don't need chunky arch support insoles. Am a little wary of shoes with thinner soles though, as i tend to put much weight in my feet when walking. Hope to receive these Lono shoes to try! #lonoflow

Are you planning on making a video on the Vivo Novus? The few reports on it I could find were mixed but none very useful for me. I really like the design but want to know more before buying it. Thanks!

[@AndrewFolts]

It's not high on my list. It's kind of a weird shoe. Like, it has a trail sole but a white upper that's going to get filthy in the first five minutes of any trail. Supposedly it's also for city and XT, but it has those deep lugs that wouldn't be comfortable on pavement, especially for longer miles. Overall I wouldn't recommend it.

[@_stealth_y]

@@AndrewFolts that’s interesting. I don’t do any walking in nature at all (unfortunately!) so I‘m really just looking for day to day shoes I like the look of.

I wanted to ask if you knew about Czech company named Skinners. They have shoesocks and also some normal shoes. I already have the shoesock and they are wonderful, the only thing I had been worrying about was the price, but it was worth it. I run them in the gym. Would you consider trying their moonwalker shoes? I am looking for some fashionable shoes to use with jeans, so your review would be helpful. Thanks😊

Oh cool, didn't know Sinners was making shoes now. Will put them on my list. 4.5mm sole and wide tookbox sounds great. The socks seem well made too, but I don't like that they're synthetic My feet sweat like crazy unless I'm wearing merino wool, but maybe some day they'll make wool Skinners socks.

Yea, the transition can take a while and it's good that you're paying attention and not just plowing through. Taking your milage down for a while is important at times when your body needs to catch up.

They do work nicely for light trail runs, as long as it's not too steep or muddy.

[@joshuawasmer4882]

#lonoflow would be a really solid pair of casual shoes for downtown or for work in black. Ty

[@AndrewFolts]

Nice! They're def simple enough to work for work.

[@_stealth_y]

How convenient! Currently looking to buy another pair of barefoot shoes and really struggling with making a choice. This is one of the ones I’m considering. Regardless whether I win or not, thank you very much for this! :) #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

Right on! What other shoes are you thinking about?

[@_stealth_y]

Like I said before, I unfortunately only walk on pavement. And even that, only once to twice per week. Other than that I’m on my bike to work or at work wearing my first barefoot shoes which are leguanos that are a little too small for me now. Buying another pair for work isn’t worth it though. So with that in mind, I’m mainly looking for shoes I like the look of and mainly ignore the purpose the manufactures say they are made for. I did actually buy the novus against your advice, but turns out I need TWO SIZES smaller than I bought and now it’s sold out. Right now I only have barebarics Zing and want an alternative. I‘m looking for something more modern and sporty-looking. Other than the novus I’m looking at Primus Trail knit, Primus lite/trail all weather, lono flow and newly the motus strength. Unfortunately right now I’m only very interested in vivos, simply because I’m too focused on looks for now. Gotta get that checked off and then get back down to earth and look at more brands lol And I’m also unsure about, with the motus as an example, how much the intended purpose of the shoe is an issue for me. I decided to risk it with the novus but now I can think about it… a tenth time haha

[@_stealth_y]

I wish there were more barefoot shoe stores in Germany. There’s only one in cologne (and apparently one in berlin) and they didn’t have any models I was considering when I went there. However I did get to try on a few primuses and the Primus Trail knit felt great on the foot, which is why I started considering it. Please forgive me for this incredible wall of text haha

[@Mr.V.O]

Always on the lookout for athletic barefoot shoes. Would like them to replace my workout shoes #lonoflow.

[@AndrewFolts]

Def a good pick. Wishing you luck!

[@kevfowler]

I would love to try these. I have been looking for a new good road shoe to try. #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

They're def the new kid on the block, ha.

[@MichaelKraeuter]

#lonoflow Love your review of these shoes. They not only look awesome but are everything a great barefoot shoe should be just like you stated in your video. Thank you Andrew!

[@AndrewFolts]

They really do check the boxes, yea. Good luck, Michael!

[@MichaelKraeuter]

@@AndrewFolts thank you!

[@junjunthinker5803]

This would be a great first barefoot shoe coming from me who has only worn slippers for years and would want to wear something that does not squish my toes when I wear shoes at the gym‼️♥️♥️ #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

They're kind of like a half slipper half trainer with the knit upper, ha!

[@junjunthinker5803]

@@AndrewFolts Thanks! exactly what I need 😁

[@jeanpaulorl]

Are these wider than vivo? And how about the flexabilty? They look really cool! #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

They're very similar in width. The Vivo Primus Lite's are slightly thinner and more flexible, but the Flow's a quite close (just a tiny amount of padding).

[@jackmetcalf3864]

these would go awesome as a daily driver for both work and play #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

Totally! The small amount of padding is kind of nice for driving.

[@oneduelist]

Look like they'd be great for some runs in the woods and fields where I live #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

For light trail running they've been great, yea. Just as long as the terrain isn't too steep or muddy.

[@5minwatchreviews]

If these last longer than 3 years, do they start to degrade on your feet!?

[@AndrewFolts]

Nope, just in "landfill conditions." Requires continual heat and other materials breaking down to start the biodegrading process.

[@northerncoder]

I like the tan color of these and the price. #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

Goes with everything, especially a wallet, ha.

[@NeuwDk]

These shoes look very nice - could become a go to shoe for dressing up a bit from the five-fingers I'm currently using. #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

Maybe they'll do a knit toe shoe collab, ha! "Vibram FlowFingers"

[@jethrobradley7850]

For the tines when I can't go barefoot I'd love to go with the Flow #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

They're a nice companion to full barefoot, yea. Good luck!

[@luckybear3]

Would love a biodegradeable shoe to replace my Primus Lites! #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

A worthy successor, both excellent shoes!

[@Gman1024]

Coming back to comment on this video once again, so I can enter Andrew. :) What a cool giveaway, and these would be an awesome trainer for my daily walks. #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

That'd be a great use for them. Good luck for the draw!

[@lil_alexchoi]

What colourways are those?

[@AndrewFolts]

@@AndrewFolts thanks a lot

[@marcoamora1121]

#lonoflow I've wanted a barefoot shoe for a long time and from this review, it seems like this would fit all of my needs. Hoping for the best!

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, there's not much it can't do. Good luck!

[@JorgeRios28]

I would love to use these shoes for the gym #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

Def a good pick for the gym. Best of luck!

[@meidamx]

Get some.

[@AndrewFolts]

The Lono Some's, available now.

[@Saadw-c1z]

i would like them to correct my foot alignement #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

That's a great goal, good luck!

[@mitmax7993]

Definitely a shoe to try, zero, minimalist, durable, bio.

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, puts up some stiff competition for sure. Or "flexible" competition in this case, ha.

[@something1122]

they look nice

[@AndrewFolts]

Most def!

[@keiranbray5541]

Well, it goes like this, my partner doesnt think i need to buy another pair of barefoots, but these look great, so maybe they could get shipped down under? #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

Ha, they do pile up quickly, don't they. (:

[@mareknov4555]

Since my vivo primus lites soles are slowly wearing down I am looking for new everyday barefoot shoe with breathable upper, flexible sole and wider toebox. It would be great to get them coz I am poor student lol. #lonoflow I look forward to seeing your van life videos and I wish you so much for making your new house on wheels :)

[@AndrewFolts]

They could call them the Lono Student, ha. Good luck!

[@tin_dr]

I would gift these shoes to my 50-year-old mom, introducing her to a barefoot lifestyle after five decades of wearing "normal" footwear. #lonoflow

[@AndrewFolts]

Aw, that's nice of you! Just got my mom into BF shoes last year too.
