Just Like Walking Barefoot ~Vivobarefoot Shoes

Vivobarefoot Shoes

Disclaimer: The reviewer received this product for free to review. The opinions in the review are honest and her own.

I was recently invited to try out the “pure barefoot technology” of a pair of VIVOBAREFOOT running shoes. The idea behind barefoot technology is that it mimics the most natural way to walk or run. The human foot is already well-designed to absorb shock. The millions of nerves on the bottom of the foot provide the sensory feedback necessary to stabilize the foot while walking and running. Shoes with arch supports, extra padding, and a thick sole interfere with that natural feedback from the sole of the foot to the brain.

VIVOBAREFOOT shoes are designed to offer the wearer the experience of walking or running barefoot, while also offering protection from cuts and scrapes. The design incorporates a flexible thin sole so that the wearer can feel the terrain beneath her feet. It also has a wide toe-box and flat profile to allow for the most natural motion through the foot while moving.

So how did my shoes rate? I love them.

Navy Stealth Vivobarefoot

I tried the Stealth running shoe. The first thing I noticed when I took them out of the box is that they have the thinnest sole I have ever seen. I was concerned that the sole would be too thin to protect my foot, but I have been wearing them for walking for a few weeks now and I’m no longer concerned. They are not stiff, but that sole is sturdy.

And VIVOBAREFOOT lives up to its promise: I’ve worn the shoes on grass, pavement, and gravel paths and I can feel the terrain beneath my feet in these shoes. They are extremely light and soft. The sizing was good. The toe-box was not too wide- another concern I had. The shoes really do feel more natural. The bonus is that these are attractive shoes as well. I recommend you try this “minimalist” shoe and see for yourself just how comfortable barefoot technology can be

    Those would be perfect for me to wear when I go to Disney. On average, we walk about 10 miles a day!

      Hi Lois. I was just wondering if you ever tried these in person. I have been trying to find a comfortable shoe since tearing my planters facia. I have very hi arches but am more comfortable now walking barefoot. Thank you in advance

    I am not a runner but sometimes I make the attempt. I’ve never tried shoes that do not feel like I am wearing shoes. I kind of want to try them.

    These sounds like a great option for those who are not really a fan of the toe shoes but still want that walking barefoot option.

    Interesting! I haven’t seen these! I’ve always been a fan of shoes full of lots of support, so I’m not sure if I could run in these or not…but they’re neat!

    I´ve heard about the barefoot shoes before, but they were always so ugly. These are really cute and may convince me to try this barefoot thing after all!

    I need new running shoes. The last two pairs have hurt my feet. I think this natural technology may be a good solution.

    I’m always on my feet & certain shoes (almost always my tennis shoes of course) kill my feet! I need to try these, especially since they’re so stylish too.

    I’m not usually picky about running shoes, so not many pique my interest. These shoes, however, totally have me sitting up and taking notice. I’d love to try them.

    After way too many years of wearing uncomfortable shoes that made me miserable all in the name of style and trying to appear that I have longer legs than I do, I have done a 180 in the last few years and I will only wear shoes that are comfortable and light.

    These look perfect for running errands on the weekend, taking long walks and even for work on most days. Thanks for the recommendation!
