    Too wide at least in big sizes
    The shoes are good looking and well made, but on my size 11 the front of the shoe was just too wide, looked strange on the foot.

    Finally bought it :)
    every time i ordered a shoe from vivobarefoot i always ended up buying another one than the ababa. But now i finally bought them and i can only say its one of the most comfortable shoes i have from any barefoot brand. Nicely finished and great to wear without socks.

    My all time favorite barefoot shoe!
    This is by far the most comfortable and "like-a-glove" feeling shoe I have ever owned and perfect for the workplace! Thinking of getting another pair for home! They seem to run small though, because the 46 I normally wear turned out to small, but the 47 is the perfect "loose" fit.

    Fit like a glove!
    I was wondering how well the shoes would actually fit me free walking feet. I have had fivefinger-shoes before, but no barefoot shoes as such, so I was happily surprised to their fit; like a glove, as if I had never worn anything else. I was tempted then and there to order a second pair, not only because I almost don’t notice wearing them, but also, because they are beautiful to look at and well made. They tick all the boxes and more of what I look for in a good shoe! Be assured, this will not be my last pair of ABABAs, or vivobarefoot shoes!

    Don't know what to think...
    I'm still confused, weather these shoes fit me or not. I have some other shoes from vivobarefoot, that are the same size, but that fit better, so... I have the feeling that they are a bit smaller, than primus lite shoes, but they are wide so maybe it is because they are not so tightly around my feet. Also the color of the stiches doesn't match the picture, but thats a small thing, and doesn't bother me. I wish they would fit better...

    Exactly what I wanted
    This are really good shoes for that price! It has a simple basic look, but the finish is very good. There are no annoying little irregularities.
    I first hesitated about Vivabarefoot and Vibram FuroShiki, but I'm glad I went for Viva. I really like the broad front, I think it's healthier for your toes.
    For me, the pair is just a little too small, but not small enough to order a size higher. So I had to wait till the shoe sets a little to my foot.
    Very happy with those shoes! And I also like the fact Vivabarefoot has some vegan shoes in their assortment.

    Just what I wanted
    Very loose fit, but then again that's what I expected and wanted. Barely noticeable on the feet. They feel sturdily built but I haven't used them long enough to say anything about durability. I've also received positive comments about their look.

    Extremely comfortable shoes
    Very comfortable shoes to slip on when going out. Quite a loose fit when compared to other Vivos I own.
