Customer Reviews Vivobarefoot Kanna Hi Knit Mesh

I don't think I've ever taken the time to write a product review before, so that goes to show I am really, really impressed with these shoes! The comfort level is amazing...it's like wearing a sock with soles. Very lightweight as well. I work at a coffee shop and spend 8 or more hours on my feet, these shoes were very comfortable the first day. I fluctuate between a size 7.5 or 8 and the 7.5 is perfect for me in this shoe.

I rarely write reviews, but I'm making an exception for this shoe. I have a wide foot, especially after having my baby, and have been unable to find a shoe as comfortable as this one since. I am normally an 8.5-9 and purchased the 8.5 (39). I work for 12 hours straight, walking/standing constantly, and normally have low back discomfort or throbbing legs (despite compression socks) by the end of my work day. Not with these shoes! There was no break in period, I hit the ground RUNNING!. Thank you Vivobarefoot. Also, I noticed the price change significantly after receiving my order. I called customer service, they adjusted the price tag on the spot with no fuss. Super helpful, especially during the holiday season! Their customer service is exceptional. Thank you Zappos!

Firstly, thank you Zappos. Excellent hassle free service that is consistent across the board. I had to try three different sizes before settling on the right one. I normally wear a US 11 (43). For the Vivobarefoot Kanna Hi Knit Mesh I had to go half a size smaller. These are great shoes if you like a natural feel, free form shoe with no constrictions or pressure points. Plenty of room for toe splay. Easy to pull on/slide off. They do feel close to ground with good proprioception. They come with an additional insert that I use. They definitely have a barefoot (with protection) feel that encourages one to move naturally. If one is not used to zero drop (no height difference from heel to toe) and low stack height shoes with less cushioning than a traditional shoe, I would work on getting accustomed to these by alternating with a shoe I am used to and slowly increasing time in these.

I liked the way these looked, they are kind of like diving shoes meets Converse for street style. However they were super duper wide and long, I ordered a size 9 and couldn't wear them as they flopped all around my foot. Didn't love them enough to exchange for another size, the plastic part is a little stiff and weird, like someone made shoes out of an old 3-ring binder folder and socks as an experiment or something. Interesting shoes for sure and the barefoot part was great, wide toe box. I wear barefoot shoes most days of the week, these would make good street shoes, I am too outdoorsy for them to last on me.

These are my new favorite shoes!!
