You know that saying "Less is more"? That is the thing with Vivo barefoot shoes, you don't have that exaggerated cushioning that you really don't need from other shoes. I have been a fan of minimalist/barefoot shoes for quite some time now & not all of them are created equal. I have recently been testing out the Primus Lite model from
for over a month now & you can notice their quality of materials is on a different level. I've tried other brands where the shoes felt great but within a few months, the sole would fall apart. Vivos barefoot shoes are made with sturdier materials, I even noticed that the stitching is thicker. You can seriously tell these shoes are made to last! Did I mention that Vivo makes
shoes as well?
Not only do they carry a good vegan collection for men, women & kid's shoes but they are made ethically and they use recycled PET plastic. They repurpose plastic waste to help give it a 2nd chance instead of having it in our landfills and oceans which I absolutely love! As a vegan, I am always looking to make the best purchases for me & my family, especially if it has a positive effect in the environment.
I love that I can use these shoes for just about anything. From going on walks, yoga, gym workouts, playing with my kids at the park or even a good run! You get a good feel for the ground since you don't have all that extra cushioning like regular shoes. Your balance becomes better & even your feet become stronger as you develop the use of certain muscles that you don't with regular shoes.
I noticed once I put them on Its hard for me to take them off as I enjoy wearing them all day. I think a lot has to do with these shoes being narrow, thin & flexible. It helps you move more naturally & your toes can spread out while moving and not be cramped up like other shoes.
The Primus Lite model from Vivo is one of the best vegan running shoes that I have had to date... But to me I don't have just a running shoe, I have a great ALL DAY for everything type of shoes. I literally wear these all the time now. Eventually, I want to get a pair for my kids & wife so they can wear them in all of our adventures. If you are looking for great vegan running movement shoes than Vivos are your shoe, a great investment as they are intended to last!
I recently did a 5k race in them with no socks and they felt great. No issues at all. Now I want to step it up a notch & put some big miles in. In December I am looking to do a last-minute marathon & who knows I might even do them in my Vivos.
