Reviews

Good Stuff!

I loved the shoes! But unfortunately, I’m older and need arch support. But my daughter put them on and loved them. Since we wear the same size, I just passed them on to her!This is good stuff you’re making if you ever put in an option for arch supports, I’m all yours.

Comfort to the limit

I want to start off by saying that I absolutely love these shoes! Now that I've been wearing them for a bit over a month I have broken into them & they have taken the shape of my feet! I love the way I can literally feel everything I'm stepping onto, they feel almost as if they were gloves for feet. The only problem that I encountered was that the fabric is unstitching on the sides of the shoe & I'm worried that they might tear & I won't be able to continue wearing them due to holes. It's very unfortunate that this us happening & even worse that its only been a month since I started wearing these shoes & on top of that they're my first pair of vivobarefoot shoes for myself & the price that I paid for them to last me this little. Its pretty sad to be honest but other than that I do love these shoes. I just wish they couldn't lasted me longer.

Comfortable and cute!

The Ababas are my first barefoot shoes and I couldn't be happier with them! At first I was concerned that the shape would too large for my taste, but the style is so nice that the width is hardly noticeable. But it's the comfort and feel that I am most satisfied with, They are easily the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned and I am already looking to purchase another pair of Vivobarefoots for the fall season!
