Check out this review from the Running and Rambling blog. It’s a very thorough review which explores all the details of the Evo.

Leading by example, Galahad Clark, talks about the triathlon in the London Triathlon Guide 2010:

“This was my first tri so I just tried to enjoy it, but I found it absolutely ball-achingly knackering. I expected it to be a little bit easier. The swim and the run were OK. My goggles steamed up so I couldn’t see where I was going on the swim, and it was very abstract, with lots of interesting refractions of light through my goggles, so it felt like an acid trip. The bike ride just about did me in: I’ve only got one gear on my bike so people kept overtaking me on the hills. Overall, it took me less than three hours. My girlfriend put me up to this, I think she’s trying to tell me somethin, like I’, fat! It was nice and sunny, but right now I’d like to throw all this stuff in the Thames and never see it again…”

Here’s what they said about the Evo:

“…the new VivoBarefoot Evo running shoes from Terra Plana, £100. Available in yellow, pink, blue and black, the Evo is the ultimate back-to-basics running shoe. With a 4mm puncture-proof sole and lightweight, ergonomic design, this is the closest you’ll get to running barefoot, as nature intended. They’re even suitable for marathons because they allow your feet to flex and move naturally while being supported by durable micro-fibre uppers. Find out more at www.terraplana.com”

Run 4 Women dot com recently wrote an in-depth review of the Evo, our running specific shoe using VivoBarefoot technology.

Here’s the final part of the review:

CUSHIONING – The only cushioning on these shoes is around the ankle, which is really all you would expect from this sort of shoe. Score: 3/5

COMFORT – They were surprisingly comfortable, although a little tight around the ankle. I very quickly got used to wearing these shoes. My feet did however ache the next day!Score 4/5

GRIP – They have excellent grip on all surfaces. Score 5/5

STABILITY – They were really very supportive, something I was not expecting. Most of the support does come from around your ankle, as your toes are really free. There is a small amount of arch support, not enough for me to run over about 5 miles. Score 4/5

OVERALL – I really love these shoes. They make my Nike Frees feel like a very supportive shoe! I love the feel of freedom that my toes have and can see that I will wear them for most of my 3-5 mile runs. Your feet do need time to adjust to wearing them as they really are very different. At first I couldn’t imagine running in them, now I happily wear them for short distances but will stick to my ‘normal’ shoe for longer runs.Score: 4/5
