    SMH. I work for vivobarefoot in Australia and have had to deal with the guys in America. They treat the shoes so poorly and the warehouse is not well kept. Those moldy shoes are most likely due to the boxes being left on the wet ground for too long when unloading (when new stock arrives and before it gets onto the shelves). Please let your customer service no about those Gobi shoes because the negligence of a few is letting the whole brand and the poor shipping companies look bad.

I had 5-Fingers about 10 years ago until they failed with holes after years of wear. After one day, I already like the Vivos better. They feel like track sprint spikes without a forefoot spike plate.

    Thank you for these reviews. Also, all this talk about "barefoot" shoes looking weird is just based on the idea that people are generally used to shoes that have tapered toe boxes. Perhaps when more and more people wear shoes with wider toe boxes such shoes will become the new norm. Norms change. The idea of shoes with wide toe boxes not cramping one's toes like shoes with tapered toe boxes do already is an attractive selling point for the "barefoot" shoes.

    Vivos definitely aren't the widest of barefoot brands and depending on your foot shape, or how long you've been in barefoot footwear, they may not be for you. Personally, size 8 US mens is the perfect length (without insole) but much too narrow for my toe splay. However, I do love their boots and sizing up to a 10 US men's fits a thermal insole and socks nicely. Weird how that works. Shame cause while I have shoes from other brands that I love, still nothing comes close to the aesthetic of vivos.

    I can tell you two things from a life time of running in all different kind of terrains, once your knees are damaged (like mine with cartilage damage). 1st: if you continue running, you'll end up semi crippled, 2nd: if you use shoes without cushioning (even for walking after the damage) you'll make the damage even worse. The other bit of advice is give up running when your 50 and use bike instead, I kept on running until I was 62 and then next day after a good 8 mile run (last 4 miles 7 min/miles) I could hardly walk. No indication, no prior warning, they just went; sometimes you get a warning that something is going wrong (which many fanatical runners like me would have ignored anyway, I suspect). A year after that my left foot arch collapsed, probably due to the compensating way I was now walking. The next mistake I made was following the suggestions of another runner and use bare foot shoes for walking, this exacerbate everything and then some. Six years later and now I require the support of shopping trolley to get round the supermarket to make it tolerable, I can walk on pavement for around 5 minutes, I can walk on soft surfaces like grass and sand for a couple of miles but that's about it. I bought a pair of Cloudmonster running shoes a month back and found that they make it significantly easier to walk on hard surfaces, you can draw your own conclusions from that, Cloudmonster are about the most cushioned shoes you can get.

    I was a mixed martial artist, rock climber, trail and hill runner, so I trained using calisthenics, Pilates and yoga and I also used weights and resistance cables, it varied depending on what discipline I was focusing on at the time. There is not much I haven't done and there isn't much I don't know either, since I started competing in Karate first when I was 12, I've never stopped training, I now cycle around 140 miles on the road per week and I also cycle to the gym each alternate day for weights and yoga and I also include some knees over toes workouts. But walking along a pavement is torturous, so there is no point in doing holidays, no sight seeing anymore and sitting around a pool or beach was never my scene. You reap what you sow at the end of the day. The point is this though, now that my knees are damaged, why is that that cushioned soles make a significant difference as to how far and how well I can walk? If I attempt to even walk across the road to my daughters house, about a hundred yards from me, in a pair of my old barefoot shoes, I'm hobbling immediately, why that?
