Vivobarefoot Gobi II Sneaker Premium Leather - Green - Low Shoes - UK 12

It means the shoe is designed to mimic the natural function of the foot. It has a zero-drop sole (no heel lift), is highly flexible, and offers maximum ground feel, allowing your foot muscles to work naturally.

Refer to the size guide provided by Vivobarefoot. Barefoot shoes often feel different, so ensure there's enough room for your toes to splay naturally.

While they offer a natural feel, they are primarily designed for casual wear and walking. For dedicated running, consider Vivobarefoot's specific running shoe models which may offer additional features for that activity.

The natural outsole is designed for durability in casual use. Its wear characteristics will differ from synthetic materials, and it is intended to provide excellent ground feel and flexibility.

The leather material offers some protection, but they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a water-repellent treatment designed for natural leather. Allow them to air dry if they become wet.

Using natural materials contributes to sustainability, reduces the environmental impact, and often results in more breathable and comfortable footwear that moves naturally with your foot.

This is common with natural leather. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Natural leather will soften and mold to your foot.

Ensure you are using a cleaner specifically designed for natural leather. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Condition the leather after cleaning.

The natural outsole provides good grip on most surfaces, but like any shoe, extremely wet or polished surfaces can reduce traction. Exercise caution in such conditions.
