    Love the shoes
    Wide and so comfortable! Great casual strolling the town kind of shoes. Just wish it doesn’t fray much.

    Beautiful shoe, bad fit!
    I love this shoe, and wanted it to fit, but it just felt too short when I tried it on in the house. I even wore them around the house off and on, to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Finally, realized the way to figure it out was to take one of my other pairs of Vivobarefoot shoes and hold them up to each other, and this one was definitely shorter, even though the size was the same on both, 38, so I had to send them back. I'm sorry, I wish they had fit.

    The Comfiest I've Ever Owned
    My feet have always hurt me. These shoes are the solution to my foot pain! I wear an 8 and ordered the 7 1/2 per other reviews. They fit perfect. They are very well made and the design, while loud, is super cute. I've gotten so many compliments and my feet no longer hurt. Thank you!

    Love these shoes!
    My son turned me on to your company, telling me that my foot problems would go away if I wore your shoes.
    I've been wearing the Ababa Canvas Dots for about a week now. My work days, as an art teacher, have me on my feet, nonstop all day. After 8 hours my feet don't ache, my toes aren't crunched and my lower back feels better!
    I'm going to be ordering another pair for hiking and long walks.
    People stop to compliment me on my new shoes and ask where i bought them!

    Bold style-cool project
    A friend sent me the link to these shoes as she knows I have a love of African cultures and designs.

    I love that there is an option to have a wide foot bed! I returned my pair as they were a half size too large. I usually wear an 8. I think the 7 1/2 would work for me.

    I enjoyed the painting on these shoes but realize its too bold for my everyday.
    I'll be watching for the other painted style to come back in my size.

    Overall I think this is great concept and will definitely be sharing with friends.

    Ah-mazing
    Where do I start? The project behind the shoes? The design? The comfort? The feel? I love everything about these shoes, they are my definite to-go, no matter the occasion, with or without socks. Bonus point: for people who drive a lot, the rubber sole going up the heel makes for a perfect driving shoe. I wear US9, bought these in US9/EU40, they fit perfectly. If they had other designs in my size, I would've bought more.

    Great product, but too small
    Loved the look and feel of these shoes, however they’re a bit smaller than I expected. Have to get a size larger. I’ve got MULTIPLE pairs of vivos and I LOVE them all, there just isn’t necessarily consistency in the sizing. I have been and will be a returning customer. Sometimes life’s a bit of a guess and check game

    In Love!!
    I admit I wasn't too sure how I'd like these shoes. The design is a bit wild! But I love them!!! They are just whimsical enough for spring. I've gotten so many compliments. And they fit perfect! So comfy that I forget that I'm wearing shoes. Plenty of space for my toes to spread out! Well done!

    Great comfort shoe
    I bought the canvas Ababa for my wife. She says she gets some weird looks because of the unusual black with white dots. She calls them her clown shoes. But she wears them a lot because they are so comfortable.

    A little too ducky
    Like all Vivos, these shoes are obviously very well made, and fit similarly to other shoes of their size. I decided to return them, though, because the top profile is even wider than normal Vivos-- I think it's because the stitching is external rather than internal, because they're handmade. I really wanted to like them, but they just didn't feel worth $95 when they looked so... ducky.

    Ababa Canvas
    Very comfortable shoe. The only drawback is the back of the heel takes a little while to break in, so wearing these shoes for a long period of time without socks will give me blisters on my heel.

    2nd pair of vivo's
    After loving my first pair of vivo's so much I was eager to purchase another. Looking for something a bit more casual I went with the Ababa Canvas. Super cute and very comfy! Tones of toe wiggle room! Runs true to size. Can't wait to wear this shoe more.

    Fun a comfortable
    This shoe is so comfortable, I always feel good when barefoot and these shoes are just like being barefooted. the canvas soles are painted in fun polka dots making them great for casual dress. This is my 4th pare of Sole of Africa. Great for people with knee problems, my knee is 100% improved since I started wearing them.

    Ababa Canvas Dots
    I normally wear 8.5/39 in my shoe size.
    I ordered a size 8 and was worried it would be too small. The shoe is perfect, and there is enough room in the toe box for my foot to be comfortable. I am still learning the sensation of feeling a connection to the surface I am walking on. I am surprised when I step on a small stone or the edge of a concrete surface as I now have a direct relationship with that surface. I have neuropathy, and feel more sure footed with the shoe.
    I am becoming a loyal fan.
