Vivobarefoot Shoes Have Zero Arch Support And No Cushioning, Yet Some People Refuse To Wear Anything Else
If there's a theme running through the clothing, accessories, footwear, and home goods Huckberry offers, that theme is style. So when we tell you they are now carrying a line of barefoot shoes, the last thing that should come to mind are the foot-glove/toe-shoe jobbies that creep everyone out.
The line is from Vivobarefoot, a barefoot/minimal shoe company who have been making foot-first footwear for years. The toe box is wider, the sole is ultra flexible, and there's no arch support or heel to speak of. All of these features are designed to let your foot do what it would do if you were barefoot — while avoiding hippy stigma and sharp objects. Benefits reported by barefoot shoe converts range from alleviation of foot pain to improved posture and gait.
Trail runners and office workers alike are riding the wave of minimalist footwear, and Vivobarefoot has options for both. The Primus Trail shoe has a breathable upper and extra grippy off-road rubber tread that keeps you stable while offering maximum sensory feedback. Those heading to the office will like the Gobi II, a handsome chukka-style boot made from wild hide African leather. The only drawback to wearing Vivobarefoot is once you get used to them, other shoes start to feel like concrete blocks.
