EDIT: REVIVOREPEAT for 30% off (ty acehoangtt)
Hi, it's my first post!
I have been eyeing these boots for some time now after doing a lot of research on a hiking boot for people who are into the whole barefoot/wide toe thing. Vivos are quite expensive and not sure how low their sales go, so thought I'd wait.
Came across a 20% off code and finally took the plunge (VIVO20). Just ordered it so it hasn't arrived yet. Seems like the code works for most of their range - I checked like 5 different shoes. Not sure when the code became available or when it ends.
Not waterproof, but highly water resistant (leather).
Soles are said to be quite durable and excellent grip, glued and sewn. The older version was only glued and apparently prone to separation (though people say they have good success regluing).
Very flexible and lightweight (US9 is ~525g).
These are ideal for -5 to 25 degree ish temps based on reviews I've seen. Perfect for me since I tend to do a lot of my outdoor camping/hiking activities in the cooler months. You can also buy a thermal insole that apparently works well if you want to wear them in really cold places (with appropriate socks).
Pretty much every review I have seen say they are extremely comfortable and durable, though some people might need a little breaking in. Will last years if you take care waxing them etc.
Make sure if you have never worn barefoot style shoes, to take it easy at first as your foot gets stronger/adapts. I switched to barefoot about a year ago, and my usual hiking boots (Merrells and such) give me pain in my foot now.
They also have casual shoes - various popular styles.
Trail runners, training shoes.
Hikers that are waterproof, various heights, thermal lined.
*Shipping is free on orders over $100
Free return for another size, or for a full refund, or 110% store credit (discount won't be eligible when using this credit). I think they get posted out of Vic somewhere.
