Vivobarefoot Magna Forest ESC, Mens Leather and Wool Hiking Trainers with Barefoot Sole

width

The foot box is too narrow,  I felt these were deceptively sold as 11 wide and on the tongue of the shoe it clearly has 11 m printed in there.

but they just aren't wide enough for my feet.

From what research i could find they don't offer these shoes in various widths just the one they advertise as wide.

size

My suggestion is to pick one size up, this makes shoes a bit longer than usual,

These in size 45 are really loose: My centre foot lifts, my heel lifts, and my foot slides about.

width foot

shoe-box width

shoe-box

The tow box is huge (by most shoe standards—if you're a Birkenstock wearer, you'll be used to it).

hiking

The grip on these for scrambling hikes are excellent.

but for my weekly hikes these are awesome!

All of the thicker soled hiking minimalist options on the cheaper end were uncomfortable (whitin and others) - I've owned about 7 or so pairs of vivos over the years and most of them were comfortable.

The ankle support you need in a hiking shoe still feels flexible, with these.

No Little Rock or stick will bother you with the treads on these things, it also allows you to heal strike because the tread overlaps your heal a bit so you can walk very quickly on hikes if you so choose.

They are perfect for hiking and walking quickly though.

Proprioception is excellent for a hiking shoe and obviously better and safer than any of the typical stiff ankle-bending boots.

If you like walking barefoot, and want a rugged hiking boot
These are the boots I've been dreaming of.

thick sole

The sole has thick lugs, that grip very well.

The sole is thick enough to protect you feet bottoms from sharp rocks,

comfortable

Extremely comfortable Cinches tight to ankle

Comfortable out of the box
I've been wearing thin soled minimalist shoes for a long time.

I'm sure they will only get more comfortable.

This is a well-made shoe that is amazingly comfortable.

Just about perfect
My most comfortable minimalist shoe by far.

So comfortable that you may even lose some of the benefit from going minimalist so I don’t wear these every day.

They fit great, very comfortable and so far looks like a great quality build.

sole

There is fairly complete flex to the sole, front to back and side to side.

walking

For the first time in years, I can walk most trails without really looking where I put my feet—which allows me to enjoy the trail views that much more.

rocky

The problem is that there are often rocky shores that hurt the bottom of your bare feet.

barefoot

PERFECT for carrying on hikes to water
Who doesn't love hiking/backpacking to a lake/river and then wading in and/or swimming?

The soles are thick enough to keep your feet from being punctured by rocks AND have enough "stick" keep you from slipping.

Lightweight; great for traveling
These fit great; lightweight and easy to pack.

Very comfortable
Liked the fit and the color.

light-weight

These are super lightweight and perfect for slipping on to walk into the water.

slippery

wear

Fell apart very quickly
My son wore these as indoor shoes for school.

However, only after wearing a few times the seam on the toes of each shoe are starting to come apart.

worn-out

They broke down and the insoles kept slipping out.

washing

sole grip

She loves her “climbing shoes” and gets up the walls without any problems.

They have a thick enough bottom she doesn't hurt herself walking on rocks and pebbles.

They breathe well and are super comfy according to my daughter.

Good fit
Good fit for my 18mo old for indoors.

Fits Well and lightweight
Easy to put on and lightweight.

strap

The shoe laces are kind of a mute point, as the shoe is like a big sock.

but not what they look like on pic they don't lace up they have laces but yet have no holes for them they are just there for the look I think .

purchase

don't suggest you buy for running or work because they get loose after walking in them buy smaller I would say .

Initially bought an 8 and it was huge, so returned for a 7.

stretchy

but the second pair I received, one was very stained up looser than the other.

Would not recommend for staying on your feet for long periods, not much cushion.

The bottoms are so sticky, you can literally climb at wall in them!!

sock

Good for slick surfaces or climbing walls.

The entire shoe is elastic breathable fabric mesh, and the sole is a thick gel with incredible traction.

Super Cute & Comfy
These are lightweight, cute & comfy.

expensive

Very disappointing and way too expensive!

Unfortunately, these boots look and feel cheap, and in my opinion, they are way overpriced.

inexpensive

They are designed in the classic Chukka Boot style, which is both stylish and practical for light hiking and adventuring.

The soles are a thick, textured tan rubber that's good for both comfort and sure footing on rocks.

The fit was perfect - true to the size I ordered.

There's very little padding inside the boot to make them comfortable to wear.

attractive

I was happy with the deep chestnut color with attractive white stitching for accent.

Teva Women's Outflow Ct Sandal

size larger

but they felt big, tried the 9 and got like a glove, but I was worried they’d cause rubbing so I stuck with the 10 & do not regret the larger size choice at all.

However, when I received them they were extremely large (see pic--both size 6).

had to return/exchange

but they didn't seem as comfortable as my old ones so I returned them.

choice

I hiked 13 miles in Zion NP and had no blisters, no stubbed toes & they even worked to prevent me rolling my ankles with the thick soles.

Size Down for Perfect Fit
I absolutely LOVE these close toed sandals from Teva.

Got these for my kid because of the versatility.
