I got the same shoes a few months ago and I love them, they look really nice for barefoot shoes, they're holding up really well durability-wise and I've used them mostly for running on fields and trails

thanks for the review, thank goodness I thought I was the only one with huge huge blisters in my heels from the trail knit version, even sent them back for a smaller size cause I thought it was that causing the blisters but its just the design of the shoe, will pick up the normal version now :D

Haha! You are not alone. For whatever reason, there's a huge difference in the way regular and trail knit fits 🤷♀️

@@SeagrasstoSassafras Did both of you experience blisters with the knit version while sock-less or while wearing socks? Still deciding which way to go between the two (regular vs knit), and I typically wear socks even with minimalist shoes... Thanks so much!
@SeagrasstoSassafras Жыл бұрын
For me, it was with a thinner ankle length sock as well as sockless. The material on the knit version felt more rigid across the back of the heel, in my opinion. Hope this helps!

Ooh I treat my son’s smelly shoes with daktarin powder (not sure what the brand would be in the us), it’s anti-bacterial anti-fungal/candida powder… it really helps!

THANK YOU so much for this suggestion! I just looked it up. The US equivalent would be Desenex (miconazole nitrate) I'm definitely going to pick some up and give it a try.

Nice, informative review and enjoyable videoing :~) So cost-wise, $45-50 every 6 mos. for performance that results in slips and falls vs $120 once per 2 years comes out to the Vivos actually saving you about $60. Those new ones sure are purty. With the old ones, even if you've decided not to have them repaired, send them to Revivo and they'll recycle them :~)

👏😁 I love it! Thank you for sharing this breakdown. The old pair is just sitting in the garage awaiting their fate at the moment. Lol. I think I'll send them over to Revivo! 🤔 I know for sure they won't be going in the trash.

I believe you can send them back to Vivobarefoot and get new soles on them and other repairs. I tried Xero shoes and they are more bulky. I love vivo.

Yes, they also encourage sending them to Revivo to be recycled rather than throwing them away.

I've had numerous pairs of Merrell's Bare Access Arc barefoot for Crossfit, running, hiking and daily wear - best shoe I've ever owned. I could wear those for 5-7 YEARS before I had to toss them due to odor. After my last pair in 2022, when they stopped making them, I bought the only Merrell "barefoot" they offered (as they no longer make the Bare Access) and they stunk within a year. I'm going to reluctantly try the Vivo Barefoot but how long before they started to smell and do they stretch a bit or remain rigid?

That's normal, stinky plastic does not stop stinking. You have to dry the stuff in fresh air as soon as possible. It's the same as climbing shoes. Once you let them stink once they stink forever...

🤦♀️ Yep, lesson learned. I've been a lot better about immediately drying out my second pair of shoes since.

You prefer low cut shoes for hiking?😊 Have you ever tried vivos tracker boots?
@SeagrasstoSassafras6 ай бұрын
I have. I bought a pair a year ago, but they were too stiff and hurt my feet. Didn't seem to matter how many miles I put on them 😥 I just couldn't make them work for me.

A good cobbler should be able to professionally disinfect them and they'll never stink again. They have special equipment that sprays hot steam and chemicals in the shoe. Also you should REALLY try the Xero Mesa Trail especially if you can get them during their big sale. Much more comfortable than Vivos and they're also more flexible and super durable.
@SeagrasstoSassafras Жыл бұрын
I'll see if there's a cobbler near me that can disinfect them. Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, the Mesa trail did not work for me. I tried them shortly before VivoBarefoot. The fit was really awkward, so I returned them.
