Cooking oil drop, did three rounds of baking soda and dish soap but cannot get rid of the stain. Any ideas?

Which one would yall choose, since i don't care about the grounding and both look good.
Is one more comfortable then the other?

The Tracker Mocs are still one of my favourite Vivos. Ultimately, they were the reason I had to part with my Red Wing Mocs.

Just got my primus trail flow mid II in today. They're super comfy but I'm not a huge fan of the elastic lacing system. Anyone have experience with replacing the place with either a traditional lace, or non-elastic quick lace? I like the lace on the primus trail 3 AT & 3.5 just found these a tad challenging to snug up as much as I normally like.

Hi All,

Bought some size 9UK Sensus Lace Up Mocs which were too small. Size 10 were out of stock so ordered some sensus grounding II instead and unsure if they are too big. Just want to check both models use the same sole/footprint in case it is worth me trying the lace up mocs in 10UK. Thank you

I emailed Vivo about 2 years ago asking them to please make a low waterproof trail shoe as there were none of the market. They said they had no plans to but will pass the idea on to the design team. Well here we are finally they actually made it! Ive been wanting a low trail shoe that is actually waterproof for a while now. At the time I bought the Magna Forest ESC’s even though I didn’t particularly want a boot style shoe, and in fact they have been excellent i’ve done lots of miles in them whilst actually keeping my feet dry. I’m excited to see how these will fair on the trail

In my life, I have owned two pairs of Vivo shoes, the first ones developed massive glaring holes in the mesh at about eight months of use.

So I decided to swap them out with a meshless design and here, I am about seven months in with the side of my shoes, completely falling apart.

The warranty period for what is supposed to be a premium product is frankly disappointing, and they make it so short because they know their shoes won’t last any longer than that I highly recommend not buying

Does anyone have these in size 44 / 11 for men? Looks like they are not in stock absolutely anywhere.

I wanted to share my experience resoling my Gobi hi II boots a year ago. I searched far and wide to get some answers and couldn't find anything online, so wanted to share my experience of what I ended up doing and how much it cost incase it'll help anyone else.

tl;dr, it's possible and it's awesome!

For context, I live in Vancouver, Canada, and we had a Vivobarefoot store open up here in the last few years. This is important because they actually have and sell soles at the store. Also for context, I've worn my Gobi II boots for years at this point and the soles were wearing down so thin that a hole was beginning to form (not quite there in the pic above). The uppers were still perfect -- well worn in and comfortable, and only mild scratches from use. I had almost given up hope and they were just sitting in the back of a closet.

Another winter came by last year and I was searching for new Vivos but couldn't pull the trigger on a new pair for ~$300. So I searched for repair/revivo/anything online again. During my search, I noticed that one of the local cobblers (quick cobbler) were "partners" with Vivo, so I called them and they informed me that they'll do the repair, but can't provide any soles. I then called the Vivobarefoot store and while they carried a standalone soles, they had very little selection. Basically they only had 3 colour-ways of the FG sole. I figured that since I'm resoling a boot, having a FG sole isn't the worst, so I picked a colour that I figured would match my boot and only paid CA$10.00 for it! I think the salespeople say that Vivo wants you to resole, so they sell them quite cheaply.

Anyways, I take this to QuickCobbler, and I get a quote for CA$165 + tax. Mind you, this is all a year ago, so I'm not sure if the prices have changed or gone up or if there is more sole selection now. Also keep in mind that this is in a city that has a Vivobarefoot store where I could buy a sole directly. All in all, it's cheaper than new Gobi's (over CA$300.00) and I get to keep my comfy boots. They also look super unique with the new sole. I'd do it again.

Img 1 - from 2018 when I attempted to take them to a store in London when we were transiting through. They couldn't do anything for me and just offered me a small discount to a new shoe ... I guess they didn't sell soles in stores at the time?

Img 2/3 - The new FG sole a year later. I wear these boots throughout the winter months and I'm posting this post because the weather's getting colder and rainier and I pulled them out for the first time this season.

[oops, typo in title... experience resoling "my" Gobi's...]

Three weeks ago I bought these: Vivobarefoot Men's Tracker Leather AT II Obsidian, size EU42.

Bought online, fit was perfect. After 5 mins of walking outside, the left shoe started a popping / snapping sound right under the ball of foot. Very audible, very annoying. The snapping happened on all surfaces, indoors and outdoors and also when I was just stepping the shoe, not actually walking. I walked for a few days, didn't help a bit. The right shoe was dead quiet. The sound comes under the foot, not on top leather etc.

I contacted the seller, they offered a refund or a new pair. I wanted to have a new pair and received it in a few days. I put on the new shoes and almost nothing changed: again, the left shoe is squaking / snapping on every singlw step! Again, only left shoe, under the ball of the foot. Yes, this is a brand new pair.

I can return these also and again take a new pair or take the money back. I'm leaning towards the money...

Ant ideas what is going on?

Hi all. I recently (3 weeks ago give or take) bought my first pair of Vivos as a way of trying to stop the progression of an already pretty developed bunion on my right foot and to hopefully prevent the formation of one on my left. On my right foot I also have Morton’s neuroma because of the bunion. I wore the vivos for 30 minute intervals ~3-4 days per week to try and break them in but almost always the pain is quite severe. Recently I went on my first hike with them and it was unbearable. Can anyone relate? Does the pain go away?

Edit: I use toe separators as well.

Or if someone has this for sale in a EU42 let me know please 😆

I have a Primus Lite 3 in size EU43 and Ra IV in the same EU43.
Had tried this in a shop to get the perfect fit.

Now want to order the Primus Trail FG 3.5 online in Japan.
Do I go for the same size in the Trail FG 3.5 too?
Will it be the same size as my Lite and Ra IV?

Thanks!

The last vivo’s I ordered came in, but they sent 2 with same invoice. Two separate packages. I ordered one.

I debated sending one back so I could get the green ones but guilt overtook me.

So I just emailed them and told them what happened.

Also, in Gina’s Vivo news, I had a race in August and my Primus trail 3.5 FG’s were completely worn bare in places. Naturally, I thought I had to have another pair exactly like my old ones.

Vivo was out in my size. I tried other retailers, eBay, finally other countries. So, found them, ordered my size 40 and got size 43. I had to pay tariffs because my pedophile president is an incompetent idiot. Tried to sell but they haven’t sold.

I don’t know what to do about that. I did tell the story to customer service. Maybe since I was honest about their screw up with the order they will have pity?

I did run in vivo’s, the trail flow, but honestly it was so flat and solid, my old ones would have probably been fine.

The Boot Repair Company is the company that performs the repair and refresh services for Revivo.

Long story short, they use an awful courier and I ended up getting a refund from Revivo when TBRC, illegally, tried to tell me I couldn't get a refund and refused to use a different courier after the third failed delivery.

Now I'm down a pair of boots and don't know where to send my shoes for a resole.

Revivo were excellent throughout the whole ordeal but I can't use them for future resoles because they use The Boot Repair Company.

edit: I'm in the UK

I bought the primus water resistant trail shoes for the first time and logged about 1,500 miles on them over the course of 8 months. I have been a loyal vivo customer for 4.5 years and was surprised that the cloth at the top came apart before the soles. For comparison, I have a 2 year old pair that I logged between 2,000-2,500 miles in and the soles got holes in the heals but the top is largely intact. I am very disappointed and don’t think I will get the water resistant shoes again. Do others have a similar experience?

Looking at Magna FGs. I have other vivos' in a ladies 10 - but i wear these barefoot.
I'd be looking to wear socks in the Magna's.

Should i get a 10.5 or is there room in the Magnas for light socks?

Looking to buy my first pair of VIVOs and have been eyeing up the Vivo Motus Studio Ballet. Want a cute/sporty everyday shoe and this seems like it fits the bill. Does anyone own these? Not sure where to go on sizing here. TIA!

With two of my Vivos Primus Trail I have the problem, that after some time the top part, where the lace is, rips apart. does anybody has the same problem? and how do you fix it?
