Excellent shoes. Love Vivobarefoot!
I love these shoes. Perfect fit, lightweight and very comfortable. I almost forget that I'm wearing shoes - they feel like comfortable socks. Also, I think they look great!

My favorite running/walking shoes
I have owned these for about a year and have run about 750 running miles in them so far, so it's review time. Style: I researched barefoot running but wanted a shoe that I could wear year round and this shoe was perfect, style-wise, to fit the bill. They are just plain black for the most part and I ended up wearing them daily all year. Running/Comfort: I have put in quite a bit of mileage on these shoes and after I learned how to run/walk without the assistance of cushioning, I prefer them to my HOKA's. You should do some research into barefoot running before taking off in these but I no longer have shin/patella/knee pain, it's amazing. Gym: These are the perfect gym shoes for me. I can squat and run on the treadmill without needing a change of shoes. If you lift in Chuck Taylors then you'll love these. It's the closest to thing to barefoot you'll find. Durability: I didn't think they would hold up as well as they did. The one issue I had was my eagle talon of a big toe wearing through the top (quickly fixed with some black thread/needle). That said, this is a common issue for me and Vans Authentics only last me about 3 months before developing this issue, so these perform leagues better. The soles are impressive, very impressive. As stated I've run over 750 miles in these shoes AND wear them every day but the soles themselves are showing some wear but nothing concerning. I will purchase a new pair when my current pair wears out completely and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a good barefoot shoe.

Great sneakers for prosthetic leg users
My husband uses a prosthetic and needed a really good pair of shoes for fit and comfort. He heard good things about these sneakers and decided to try them out. He’s worn them everyday and they work out great for him. They’re a good size, for his foot and prosthetic. He likes the style of the shoe. They’re pretty lightweight and worth what we paid. I’d share a photo but he’s at the gym.

Best Shoes
I am a medical student and became very interested in natural foot health after receiving a scoliosis diagnosis, feeling that my problem is musculoskeletal. I bought these shoes and my lower back pain left. I use these in placers I need to have my feet covered and can't wear my earth runners. Get these if you are thinking about it. I also bought the waterproof outdoor vivo primus models, but the light with the shoes laces and the manufactured upper is just WAYYYY better. You can;t beat it. I know they had issues with the toe box ripping with wear but that hasn't happened to me and I have had them for a hot minute now, wearing them to patient exams and such. These are also my emergency shoes if I need to run. I plan on DEFINITELY using these in the Emergency Room when I go on rotations.

Terrible shoes. Not enough room for your little toes. They come to a goofy point.
I love minimalist shoes with no cushion, but these are terrible shoes. There is way too much room for your big toe and no room for your little toes. The pinky toes hit the sides of the shoes. The fit is terrible, and they are ugly.

Overpriced and fragile, but good for wide feet and fantastic for flexibility.
To start off with the negatives: It is fragile. Really fragile. I walk ~10 miles(16km) a day, and the sole was around the toes/ball of the foot by the second month. Now, three months later it's now uselessly slick. The outer mesh is weak. Sticks can rip it, pallet wood too. The insole is kinda bad, but a lot of people remove it. Poor size selection, and runs large. If you have wide feet like me(10.5EEEE), then just run the closest size, the width will be fine. But there are positives, especially if you have limited ankle mobility and want to improve things like squat depth and general ankle health. I've struggled with dorsiflexion (lifting toes) range my entire life, but after using these for 3 months my squat range has doubled. Be careful to adapt. I didn't need to, it was fine, but some will. Is it worth $100+ dollars? No. Too easy to break. I'd happily buy it for $70-90, though.
