VivobarefootGobi III, Mens Lace Up Desert Boot With Barefoot Sole
T**S
Incredible Shoe & Worth the Money
This is the most comfortable shore, which I have ever worn. I love the styling, and it looks really good. It also has a very high quality of material. I wear it with business causal and suits at times. There is no padding so heel strikers beware. I have been switching to mid striking or fore striking walking and the shoe works perfect for me.The shoe runs a little bit large. I have been measured to the tip of my long toe as a size 10-1/2 (US men). I purchased a size 10 following their websites guidelines. The size 10 fits with thin socks for me but I am going up to a size 11 for future purchases, especially since I am wearing toe socks now and my feet are spreading out.I highly recommend this shoe.

Good barefoot shoe!
As someone who has wide feet and small arches, I believe the shoe fit is true to size and feels good on my feet. It may seem like a half size too big if you have skinnier feet. However they fit nice and give you ample room to spread your toes. I use these shoes as my daily (school and work) and they have been holding up nicely for the past 3 months. I leather wax them every month and that seems to help protect the leather. It may take a few days to get used to it if you don't wear barefoot shoes, but this is a nice transition shoe.Only complaint is that the laces are super long.

Good Fit (9W)! Usually wear a size 9.5W!
Runs a little large; purchased a 9W. I usually wear a 9.5W. Am flat footed and these shoes are very comfortable! Moreso, with my custom orthotics! Will be another in a different color when the deal is on different sizes (when available)!

Awesome for office
Super comfy and fit just like my Primus III I workout in daily, but now I can wear these to the office. If you’re on the fence and you wear other Vivobarefoot shoes these are exactly what you expect. If you’ve never worn Vivos I recommend you get them, but could take some getting used to. I Couldn’t be happier!

Quality issues - downgrade from Gobi ii
I purchased a pair of Gobi IIIs to replace my Gobi IIs after about 4-5 years of constant wear. The Gobi IIs are still in great shape, but the sole is destroyed, and since I cannot get Revivo in the USA, I thought to pick up another pair. I bought a pair from your Amazon store and after just 5 weeks, the boot strap on the right shoe literally ripped.Not the stitching, but the actual leather itself ripped. I'm very worried about the quality change from Gobi II to Gobi III. As said before, I have had a pair of Gobi II for over 4 years and the leather has held up perfectly, but after just 5 weeks, the leather is actually ripping for the Gobi III?If the ACTUAL leather is ripping already, there's a huge problem with these shoes and the materials they used. You can definitely tell the individual pieces of leather used for the boot are all not cut from the same hide as well.I strongly recommend picking up a pair of Gobi II, NOT III. You will regret it, and if it happens 5 weeks later like me, you will have spent a lot of money for a sub par product. Vivo refuses to help, and Amazon simply denies returns after the return window.This will be my last purchase from the brand.

Cozy and easy to travel with.
Purchased these for my husband because we're about to go on a long trip. He likes zero rise because hes always had problems with his feet. These were recommended by a number of people and didn't disappoint. They're not only very comfortable for him and lightweight but they're stylish and versatile.

Confortable and looks great
After several months dealing with foot pain, a physical therapist told me I needed to get new shoes. I decided to try Vivo barefoot and the pain is gone after a few days wearing it. I have a wide foot and this is just perfect. Feels like you are not wearing a shoe.

Impossible to get the size ordered.
I just have ordered nearly ten pairs by now. I am typically a US 10.5. I first ordered a size 11 (EU 44) but received a size 12 (45), which felt like huge buckets. I orders the size 11 (44) again and received the ordered size, but the shoes still felt too long and wide, especially when wearing barefoot. So I ordered a size 10 (43) but received another 11. I tried again and again and again but kept receiving size 11 instead of 10. One time they shipped a size 9 (42), which was of course too small. Since I must have ordered size 10 so many times now without ever receiving it, I’ll order a size 9 next in the hopes of receiving a size 10. Nobody to contact. I don’t want to order directly from Vivo Europe since it wouldn’t be financially feasible to return in case size 10 ends up being too small.I’ve never experienced so frustrating with Amazon. They must have stored/labeled these shoes I correctly.Update: I indeed finally received a size 10 when I ordered size 9. 10 fits well on my typically 10.5 feet. Comfortable. Leather has some scuff marks but now that I have a fitting pair I’m not risking another exchange.Shoes are ok, but not worth this hassle.
