PLEASE NOTE: The main materials in all Vivobarefoot's Vegan products are synthetic and aren’t derived from animals. Vivobarefoot don’t (yet) have the transparency needed over the production of all the small components (such as adhesives and dyes) used in these products to ensure they meet vegan best practices. So, whilst we believe the shoes are vegan, we’re not yet able to guarantee it and want to be fully transparent.
Please note that in order to avoid stains on the shoe upper the soles are not glued all the way to the edge. The soles are therefore properly glued, and the small gap at the edge of the sole is not a manufacturing defect. With use the gap may become more obvious because the sole of the barefoot shoe is flexible. However, it doesn't mean that the sole is deattaching, there is no loss of function and therefore these cases are not considered as claims.

My first barefoot shoes, and I can't change the so-called standard shoes. The best shoes where the toes have been reshaped into a more natural position. This is so valuable, because during just over a month of use, I have noticed how, for example, the balance while standing on one leg has improved significantly when the foot uses the muscles to stay balanced on the entire sole of the foot and the toes, as the muscles become stronger, are able to spread out and maintain balance. The posture error in the right leg has improved to a straight one, when it has been able to be free in length and widen enough. The right knee and hip are no longer painful either. I cried with happiness when I went for a walk in these for the first time, it was so wonderful to walk without the toes being pinched and when you feel the real ground under your feet, these shoes fit perfectly from all sides. Size 41 fit really well, left 25.9cm and right 26.2cm. Posture has also improved when it comes to standing and walking properly straight and balanced! Before these, the position and walking was uneven, when bad shoes have clearly affected how you feel the ground under your feet, there has been a thick sole, shape and heels. The big toe bone hurt for about a week, due to the cold ground and correcting the wrong position. The pain was eased and eventually healed completely with the help of heat. I used these in September. Not suitable for use in winter.

The model should be photographed from all sides as it has a large detail on the inside of the shoe which is, what can one say, specially patterned. I thought the shoe was plain blue. Still nice and comfortable in the fit, but I generally think that vivo has poorer quality than other barefoot shoes such as Joe Nimble.
Thanks for the tip! We added pictures :)

Really comfortable, exactly the shape of my feet. The sole was a bit too thin for my taste, because I have to walk and run also on hard asphalt, so I also bought OMAKING "FRESH" insoles for these. With the insoles, the shock absorption is suitable for my purpose.
The material of the sole rises nicely on the sides compared to the Xero shoes I've had before. I have slightly flat feet and cycle a lot, so the inner edge of the shoe wears out pretty quickly, and the Xeros didn't last very long because the seam between the sole and the fabric wore out from rubbing. I've been using the Vivos for a couple of weeks now, and I'm confident that these will last longer.
Pretty well designed shoes. At the heel, the shoes felt really good, although usually other shoes feel heavy there.
Unfortunately, the top of the bigger foot was too low at the nail, and the side of the smaller foot was too narrow at the little toe. The material is so stiff that I have to return it.
