The recorded breaking strong man, Franz Müllner, has tested our Neo Trail to one of its toughest challenges yet but pulling a 13.5 ton wheeled tank 30.7 metres!
“The answer is a definite yes. I have developed an affection for them. Over the past month, I have found myself in them all the time when just out and about with the kids. They are a good looking shoe at a good price and I will be buying a pair of lighter coloured ones for wearing out and about, next summer.” Read more…
We’re proud to announce our new Synth Hiker Boot has been featured in Outdoors Magic, one of the biggest outdoors website in the UK.
This is what Outdoors Magic stated about the Synth Hiker Boot:
“Brand new for winter 2012 is a new lightweight, minimalist, vegan- friendly, waterproof hiking boot from the guys VIVOBAREFOOTS, the Synth Hiker is both men’s and women’s versions”
We are very excited for this new boot to be feature in our range today. This boot has the off-road sole but also has the light underfoot that gives you the perfect medium of protection and lightness for your hiking adventures.
Outdoors magic, describes the boot as:
“The boot is made from vegan-friendly, synthetic materials. The uppers are a mix of hydrophobic mesh and PU while the toe guard is ECO PU. Finally there’s a Hydrogaurd waterproof sock liner to keep your feed dry and happy.”
Synth Hiker boot has its own claim of fame by weighing 335g for the mens boot and 280g for the women’s boot, which makes these boots one of the lightest yet.

There’s a change coming: a paradigm shift in conventional thinking. It’s a growing movement of fresh ideas and shared values based on natural evolution, mutation and adaptation. It’s a better way of doing things- a better way of moving, a better way of living.
At VIVOBAREFOOT we draw from the past, the current and the future. Barefoot movement is our shared heritage; it’s a blueprint for health prototyped over tens of thousands of years. We respect the natural so use intelligent, sustainable design to produce a complete range of shoes that allow you to bring the sensation of the natural into everyday, modern life. It’s ancient wisdom combined with modern technology.
We hold to our beliefs that barefoot is the gold standard. As we launch our new range, we want to bring you closer to nature to fuel adventures, play, sharing and learning. And as the industry moves to dilute and produce more “commercial” interpretations that dumb down our senses, we call on you to champion the true movement: pure barefoot 24/7.
– Galahad Clark, Managing Director
