The Gobi II Sneaker Premium is designed for natural movement and everyday wear. While they offer a barefoot feel conducive to natural running form, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary protection or cushioning for high-impact running activities.
The natural outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush and water. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing or storing the shoes.
It means the shoes are designed to allow your foot to function as it would without shoes. This includes a zero-drop sole (no heel lift), a wide toe box for natural toe splay, and a thin, flexible sole for maximum ground sensory feedback.
The leather upper offers some natural water resistance, but these are not waterproof shoes. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather. Allow them to dry thoroughly if they get wet.
The frequency depends on usage and climate. In general, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended to keep the leather in good condition. Check the leather periodically; if it looks dry, it's time to condition.
Yes, as stated in the product description, this item is excluded from promotional codes.
The 100% natural outsole, developed with nfw, is designed to be highly flexible and biodegradable, providing excellent ground feel while minimizing environmental impact.
This is common when transitioning to barefoot footwear. Gradually increase wear time and allow your feet to strengthen and adapt. Consider using thinner socks during the adjustment period.
Apply a good quality natural leather conditioner regularly to maintain suppleness. Ensure shoes are stored properly away from extreme temperatures.
The natural outsole prioritizes ground feel. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can affect grip.
Vivobarefoot shoes are designed for a natural foot shape, which can differ from conventional shoe sizing. Consult the brand's sizing guide and measure your foot to ensure the correct fit. A snug heel with ample toe room is ideal.
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the barefoot feel.
Compatibility: The Gobi II Sneaker Premium is compatible with most foot shapes, particularly those that are wider at the forefoot. It is designed for adult males.
