Ground Feel
Restore access to your range of motion with the Lifo+ German outsole. It’s surprisingly lightweight and its flexibility will match the movement of your feet. The Vida has a very barefoot feeling sole, with maximum sensation and movement availability. These are perfect for customers who want to feel as barefoot as possible. If you are new to minimal and barefoot footwear, take it slow with these or wear with an extra insole to start off as your feet get stronger and more flexible. You may even wish to start with something that's a bit more cushioned at first, depending on what you're used to.

However, it lasts a lot longer than leather and molds to your feet from the first time you wear it.In shoes made from CF+, your feet can freely breathe and stay dry.WaterproofResists scratches and scuffs100% veganWicks away sweat from your feet CF+ is very easy to clean, just wipe with a damp cloth!
