These are my first pair of Vivos. I spend most of my time barefoot, and have worn Vibrams for some time. The first thing I noticed about these shoes was that they were markedly different in color. They're black, but definitely not the same shade of black. I assume this is a natural variation in the leather, but was surprised that Vivo would send out two shoes that were this different. Wonderful fit, though! I may still return them to get a more matching pair. I'll be curious to see how they hold up to a NH winter. The construction looks sturdy, though I imagine the sole will be rather slippery on ice and snow. We'll see! The two reasons I can't (yet) rate them a five are the color variation (I can't post a photo here, but they are quite different), and the fact that I haven't tested them out under winter conditions. Go barefoot!

Great fit and look. The perfect boot for Portland's winter wet weather. This is my fourth pair of Vivos and I'm very happy with the wear and feel of the shoes.
