Customer Reviews Vivobarefoot Ababa

There is no arch support because there is not supposed to be any arch support...this is hands down my favorite barefoot shoe.

I was looking for something light weight to cover my feet while doing Tai Chi. I found these and fell in love with them. I bought both black and brown!! They feel like the next best thing compared to bare feet. I will wear them as house slippers, and perfect for Tai Chi! Very light weight, no arch support which may bother some people....not a problem for my needs. My feet do not feel hot and sweaty in them, like with some lined slippers.

Wow, I love these. They are comfy like slippers. If you prefer barefoot - I do - then these are a perfect choice. They are lightweight and flexible as well. I’m taking them on an international trip as a versatile and packable footwear option. I’m normally a 9.5 in athletic shoes, and between 9/9.5 in sockless styles, and the size 9s fit perfectly.

These are simple, yet very well-made shoes. No over-engineering here - no padding, foamy cushion, unnecessary liners - just simple suede and rubber stitched together. They are very comfy with or without socks, and never stink because the inside is just simple leather. I imagine these will outlive most of my other shoes by far. :)
