VIVOBAREFOOT Gobi III, Mens Lace Up Desert Boot With Barefoot Sole

Product Information

The height of the shoe provides additional ankle support, although personally, we would have preferred a bit more flexibility in this area to reduce any feelings of restriction. Opanka is perfect for low-volume feet with skinny ankles. They can also work for average ankles and average height insteps, but they won’t be suitable for feet with more volume. The hidden elastic over the instep allows for minimal adjustment in that area. VIVOBAREFOOT Opanka Ballerina Warmth wise, I’d say these are in between the Gobi Hi and the regular Gobi. The lining definitely helps insulate these but they are not as warm and cozy as the Gobi Hi Top, so I wouldn’t do serious winter trekking or snow-playing in these. For daily wear, however, these are a good cold weather option. Where I live it’s cold half the year, so having a little extra warmth in my shoes makes a big difference. Sizing & Fit: The women’s Primus Lite Knit is best suited for narrow and medium-wide feet, while the men’s version is ideal for medium to wide feet. While most VIVOBAREFOOT models cater well to skinny ankles and low insteps, this particular model is best suited for those with average insteps and ankles. However, those with shallower feet might not get the best fit, as there can be more gapping around the ankles and the upper material over the instep may crease. VIVOBAREFOOT Primus Asana

The Magna Lite is another remarkably lightweight hiking boot by VIVOBAREFOOT, perfect for spring and summer hiking adventures. The upper is made from a stretchable and breathable thin mesh material, which has been treated with a water-resistant coating. However, it’s important to note that it won’t keep the rain out, but it can handle a bit of morning dew. These shoes are made from 100% vegan materials, and the best way to clean them is to let the dirt dry, brush off the mud, and then wipe them down with a damp cloth. New VIVOBAREFOOT Gobi Boot Winterized is a versatile lace-up boot featuring faux shearling lining. While they might appear tough and chunky, they feel soft and flexible. Although not as soft as their Autumn Gobi boots, they still offer good softness for winter boots (getting even softer with wear) and are gorgeously made. Has a thermal insole with built-in temperature-regulating technology that absorbs, stores and releases heatIt fits best to narrow to medium wide feet, low to average instep and can accomodate different ankles and calves. The sizing is the same as with other vivobarefoot models. The interior is lined with leather and features a cork insole, making these shoes a real pleasure to wear. The padded collar provides extra comfort, and although the sole is thin and flexible, it’s not the softest on the market. However, it strikes a great balance between durability and flexibility, and we find its quality to be amazing. My husband is a heavy tester of Geo Courts, and they hold up incredibly well for him! Sizing & Fit: The toe box shape of the Gobi III is excellent, and the line at the big toe is perfectly straight. This model tends to run on the narrower side and fits best for those with narrow to medium-wide feet, lower to medium-high insteps, and narrow to medium-wide ankles. With my foot dimensions measuring 26.3/10 cm, I found that a size 42 was a good length, but I would have appreciated a few extra millimeters for my pinky toe width-wide. If you require additional width, keep in mind that the men’s models are generally wider than the women’s models in the same size. VIVOBAREFOOT Gobi HII would spray this shoe with a protectant rather than apply a product directly to the leather, because it is a light color and a soft brushed texture. Kiwi Spray is what I use (read more about how I care for my shoes here). VIVOBAREFOOT’s toe box shape wonderfully mimics the natural shape of the human foot. They offer a perfectly straight line for the big toe, and I never feel like my big toe movement is restricted in any way. However, depending on your foot width, they might restrict your pinky toe if the shoes are not wide enough for your foot width. The outsole is thin and nicely flexible in all directions, while the insole is made from cork and recycled PU and can be replaced with a warmer insole for additional warmth. The top eyelets have been replaced with speed hooks, but you need to turn the laces the right way to get them into the speed hooks. Cozy: less volume in the toes part and around ankles (same volume around the middle part of the foot)SIZING:

Sizing & Fit: The Ultra Bloom’s tapered toe box, so there will be less space for a proper splay of the toes. My feet measure 26.3/10 cm, and I find them too narrow for my foot width. They are best suited for narrow and, at most, medium-width feet. They fit particularly well for those with low and average instep height and can be adjusted comfortably using the elastic laces with a pull toggle. VIVOBAREFOOT Gobi IIIThe sole is soft and flexible, with a base measuring only 2.4mm and a tread depth of 1.3mm. Crafted from high-quality, durable materials, we are confident they will last for years. The wild-hide leather used is water-resistant, fully lined with fleece, perfect for milder winters. For harsh winter conditions, consider exchanging the insole for a warmer one. The only thing to be cautious about is when tying the laces, ensure they are threaded correctly into the speed hooks. Sizing & Fit: Gobi boots are available in both men’s and women’s sizes. Women’s sizes are best suited for narrow and medium-width feet. However, if you have medium-wide and low-volume feet, they could work too, as they feel slightly wider than most VIVO models in women’s sizes. These boots are best suited for those with low and average insteps, skinny and average ankles. For reference, I wear size 42, with foot dimensions measuring 26.3 cm in length and 10 cm in width. Sizing & fit: The Motus Strength is available in both women’s and men’s sizes, allowing you to choose between two different widths if you find yourself in between sizes. Women’s sizes are best suited for narrow and medium-width feet, while men’s sizes accommodate slightly wider feet. With the insoles in, the shoes may feel shallow over the toes, so removing the insole provides more space for movement. They are best suited for those with a low to average instep height. For reference, I wear size 42, with foot dimensions measuring 26.3 cm in length and 10 cm in width. VIVOBAREFOOT was one of the first barefoot brands ever available, and we can consider them pioneers in the barefoot shoe industry. They are one of the most well-known, well-designed, and high-quality barefoot brands, making them the perfect starting point for many people who decide to embark on their barefoot journey. Sizing & Fit: The women’s Primus Asana is best suited for narrow and medium-wide feet, while the men’s version is ideal for medium to wide feet. It’s perfect for those with average insteps and ankles, but due to the stretchy and adjustable uppers, even people with slightly lower/higher insteps and skinnier/stronger ankles might find a good fit. They are quite low in the toe area, so if you have more prominent toes, make sure there’s enough room around them. VIVOBAREFOOT Addis
