@@tomasfigueiredo2460 i have also considered them for a year and i got them last week ago. Lemme tell you it's worth it. I tried to put back my other pairs of shoes. It was uncomfortable going back. You feel more stable, free, more aware to where your are standing
@@tomasfigueiredo2460 they will ruin other shoes for you which is honestly kind of sad but yeah that's all good they are I wish other companies had these like imagine a vans made barefoot shoes
Love this video bro! Been wearing Vivos for almost 3 years now and my feet have gone back to its natural form. I only wore them gym purposes but they got so comfy and use to them. 10 shoes deep now for versatility nowadays 😂
Just ordered mine. This sold me on them. Been barefoot/minimalist almost exclusively since working from home, but still wear regular shoes for CrossFit. I am going to these.
As a female, I used to ALWAYS buy shoes too small because I wouldn't admit my actual foot size😅 i have been learning heaps from these videos about foot health and how much it impacts training!
That’s the stupidest things I’ve heard you would put yourself in pain because you didn’t have any to go 1-2 sizes down in your shoes? Get your life together
@Charlotte Haha well thanks for being honest mam. That's how you exercise those insecure demons and proudly restart your life at your real shoe size 😂. Maybe you'll spread the word and inspire other women to move away from that!
These videos are so freaking awesome. I’ve told people that you have to learn to walk again, but the bit about the big toe and exercises were awesome new tips.
The new Geo racer knits look fantastic! They look slightly narrower. But with the added detailing on the back, they look superb! Not sure what this will do to the overall feel, but until I get over my vanity, I'm all over the knits! Never looked back from the Lite's. So comfy. You start walking and running differently. Workouts and runs become more enjoyable. More connected somehow. Not sure what others think.....?
I started wearing these shoes coming from only wearing vans and for me it didn't feel weird at all. I went up to 16,000 steps in a day with no issues, no aching, no pain. I think because I already walk around the house barefoot and wore very minimally cushioned quite flat shoes on a daily it wasn't too much of a leap to go to barefoot.
this is a very interesting comment for me because my transition to barefoot is similar to yours. Some recently asked me if i walk barefoot indoors and if that might be why the transition was without pain for me. And it's true i have walked in socks all my life. Did not really think about it that way
Thanks for the interesting and in-depth video! I've been considering investing in a pare of Vivos for a couple of months now and this was the content I needed.
I been in Vivo FG trails since Jan 2021 and I've never worn any other footwear since. I walk, run, weighlift even ride motorcycles in them. The latter I shouldn't because there is absolutely no protection should something happen. My feet has gained enormous forefoot and toe strength. I would love Vivobarefoot to offer protected footwear, not just for motorcycling. I know it's a very niche market with not enough demand yet.
Just get wide but protective regular shoes with as little drop as possible. Maybe Altras. Although ideally you should be wearing boots or the toughest sneakers you can find. I'm in the same boat too. Riding is essential in my life but I just fucking hate wearing anything but barefoot shoes ever since I tried them. I also destroyed half of my left foot in an accident because I was wearing regular sneakers that came off. Please be careful with what you're wearing on the damn things. Every time I've crashed my feet were the first things to get injured. I only wear barefoot shoes on the bike when I'm going to the gym which is nearby and I'm super careful (don't wanna destroy the shoes in an accident either :D).
Vivos are an eye opener man. I can’t help but laugh when I see people spending 250$ of nikes or “big baller brands😂” for something that cost 3$ to make and negativity affects our ability to move. Like girls in heals.. people will do anything to feel some time of way. Fun fact, I am friends with a PT who specializes in nba and pga athletes. He found the nba players who obviously wear certain types of shoes.. constantly had horrible feet/toes which created most ankle, knee, and foot injuries. 50% of the time you see a rolled ankle in a game, it’s all a price paid to look “fly”
Thank you so much for this video!! It’s so awesome to see the science of the difference in shoes vs foot wear. I’m going to order a pair for myself but I’m curious. What kind of socks do you wear with your Vivo?
Wish there was some way to have these tests done for myself. I’ve had really weak ankle ligaments in my left ankle for years due to a serious injury 15 years ago. Never fully recovered. Would really like to see how this has affected my gait and stride and how I can combat this
I had two personal trainers who wear these shoes but only lately considering them especially with the discount code now. Just need to figure out my size based on their website instructions.
If this guy could help me, I'd be more likely to try them. I have bad feet (neuromas and metatarsalgia) and would love someone to guide me and ensure these sneakers will not exacerbate my issues. I think they're gonna be too narrow for a Men's 4E. Desperate for a hiking boot. No boots exist in 4E. Come to NYC!
My little toe touches the size of vivos but website measurement thing says they should fit? Is it ok for little toe to touch the side? I still have movement of flexing all toes ?
Thank you so much for this video! I tried using the Vivobarefoot discount code and it is no longer valid, do you happen to have another discount code? Thank you!
A question: i've done the size guide and it gave me 43 (9 UK) while i usually wear 40 (7 UK).. is this normal? i read about the thumb role thing but 3 sizes up is making me sceptical. any thoughts? should i proceed with the suggested size? help
8:30 wow lol! i notice you land heel first with your left foot and midfoot with your right! did you do that on purpose? freaky EDIT: 9:31 so yeah the guy points it out here. Very interesting. Never seen such an a-symmetry in foot strike
So, I know this is kind of the point, but I bought some and... they were really, really wide. Like I was wearing flippers. I don't think they look so strange on other people but on me it was just a bit comical. Like clown shoes. So I returned them. Should I try a different style and size, or do you think that's just how it is?
You learn to run more on the front of your foot, it’s not an issue at all for me. 1 year in for me and my feet are so much stronger and I actually prefer to feel more of the ground and you end up walking better because of it

Alright, so I've been considering these shoes for about two years now and decided to invest in two pairs after watching this 🏃🏾♂️
How are they?

Any issues with you iban or knee issues in the beginning? Did you ease into them?
0:32 Jesus the difference in size. Obi you're an absolute unit mate.
Recently got 2 pairs of Vivos, they are extremely comfortable, straight out of the box, bloody love 'em
Just ordered mine. This sold me on them. Been barefoot/minimalist almost exclusively since working from home, but still wear regular shoes for CrossFit. I am going to these.
Thanks Obi! Been a pleasure helping you on your barefoot journey :)
Thank you guys for the extremely positive impact you’ve had on my feet. I wish I would have discovered these so much sooner.

Foot health, never really considered that. I’ll have to give these a try
I have been considering these shoes for the past year. This video is outstanding!
Stop considering and start doing.. trust me!!
I really love this channel. The whole vibe is A1 🤙🏽
What a nice surprise!!! New video on Wednesday😀

Thanks Obi! Now I am replacing all my shoes for bare foot! I love them
Love these shoes! i also wear Vibram Toe shoes and Skinners Sock Shoes! But at the gym I work at we are allowed to be bare foot which is awesome!
Barefoot at the gym? Gross

great review, it's a game charger actually getting to see the difference in your steps between shoes
It will be great to see a video with Obi and Tony Riddle on barefoot running and walking 🦶🏻
Very informative. Didn’t know so many metrics could be derived from just your stride 🥵🤭🙂
Thank you so much for this video!! It’s so awesome to see the science of the difference in shoes vs foot wear. I’m going to order a pair for myself but I’m curious. What kind of socks do you wear with your Vivo?
learn something new in each video. thank you
Very valuable for friends of this topic as i cheer as all of these. :D

Same here!!!
I had two personal trainers who wear these shoes but only lately considering them especially with the discount code now. Just need to figure out my size based on their website instructions.
New discount code: OBI20
www.vivobarefoot.com/us/
not working bro,do you have ANY other codes? about to buy my first pairs but as a student I'm tryna to get them cheaper..love from germany
@@scierpka ‘OBIVINCENT15’ hopefully this works now. Keep me updated
@@ObiVincent doesn't work either..I don't get it man..
What is the foot pressure monitor and application and how do I find someone who has this and can analyze my steps this way?
After zero drop shoes, by altra i got a stress fracture in my knee and how to go back to 10mm drops.
If this guy could help me, I'd be more likely to try them. I have bad feet (neuromas and metatarsalgia) and would love someone to guide me and ensure these sneakers will not exacerbate my issues. I think they're gonna be too narrow for a Men's 4E. Desperate for a hiking boot. No boots exist in 4E. Come to NYC!
What kind of treadmill were you using?
Which vivobarefoot are better for strenght training ?
I would like to know which vivo shoes are the best for CrossFit?
I would say get trails, they're very versatile. Since they have lugs.
My little toe touches the size of vivos but website measurement thing says they should fit? Is it ok for little toe to touch the side? I still have movement of flexing all toes ?
Got a link to that study out of Liverpool?
And they comfier than primus lite II?? I wear mine without socks
First comment 👌👌👌👌👀👀👀👀👀💕
Do u use insole? Or did u put IT out
How is it going 1 more year into vivos?
0:56 whats model name?
Obi we love u wyd u make us watch that.?
You recomended made CrossFit in Home?
I’d like to know why physical Therapist don’t have this technology?! It would be brilliant if they did.
I'm just mirin the guy's muscle mass tbh

Honestly i wear my usual size (uk12) and it fits fine and I won’t suggest going 3 sizes up as they are quite wide around the toe.
@@ObiVincent I agree. I wear a 12 too. And I find them spot on. Once you start wearing them. You really won't want to wear another shoe
Just measure your feet (mainly length) and compare them with the charts. They don't have half sizes btw which is SUPER unfortunate for some of us.
Hi,Obi what is the model of yours BarefootShoes ? Thanks a lot ✌🏻
Geo knit racer
@@ObiVincent thanks 🙏🏻
How do these compare to xero shoes? I ve heard better from other non paid reviewers

You forgot the part where you compare those to running completely barefoot.
Interesting
So, I know this is kind of the point, but I bought some and... they were really, really wide. Like I was wearing flippers. I don't think they look so strange on other people but on me it was just a bit comical. Like clown shoes. So I returned them. Should I try a different style and size, or do you think that's just how it is?
that's the vibe, they give your feet room
Try a different pair and come back like AA meetings with more info, at least for me cause I’m interested lbvs
You probably bought a size too large
Do you wear with socks or barefoot? If barefoot - does it stink after time?
Did you ask him if your asymmetry was due to a remote injury suffered years ago causing one foot to overpronate
Can these be found in the states ?
Absolutely
👍🏻
I wear vivrams for work and the amount of abuse is unreal haha. You just get a blank look when you try to explain.
Vivo code isn't working tonight for some reason?!
I don’t know why its stopped working so annoying
great to see improvement. but your posture isn't a habit…
😮🌍
Running on hard surfaces like concrete and asphalt with those shoes looks like it would really hurt your feet
You learn to run more on the front of your foot, it’s not an issue at all for me. 1 year in for me and my feet are so much stronger and I actually prefer to feel more of the ground and you end up walking better because of it
The code isn't working.
I just found out and trying to figure out why this is.. it was working fine just yesterday 😪
