Vivobarefoot's Gobi Boot is utilitarian in style, barefoot in feeling. Its secret? Looking tough and chunky, but feeling soft and flexible. They're a casual, classic lace-up boot that lets you move like nature intended.
Features:
Most customers take their regular EU size in this model. See our sizing page for guidance on what we would consider your regular EU size.
Vivobarefoot uses gendered EU sizing: men's and women's sizing is the same length at the same number, but men's sizing is wider and taller in height, and vice versa.
Fit Notes:
The Gobi Boot has high groundfeel and flexibility.
Compared to similar conventional shoes, these are more flexible once the leather breaks in due to the flexible soles and they allow you to feel the terrain you are on and get sensory feedback through the soles of your feet. For a boot they feel very barefoot, though some of our athletic models have slightly more groundfeel and flexibility.
If you are new to barefoot or minimal shoes and used to a lot of cushioning and support, take it slow and easy with brief walks to get used to zero drop and sensory feedback from the ground.
You can brush off dirt and wipe these clean. Vivobarefoot recommends leather balsam products to maintain and condition these boots. Keep leather away from heat sources.
Barefoot boots, built for natural movement and seasons to come. Handcrafted from metal-free Wild Hide leather for durability, protection and comfort in the cooler months. Stripped-back soles for barefoot living, so you're never too far from nature, even in the city. For natural stability, natural sensory feedback and natural strength.

Shipping Options:
Discounted Flat Rate according to Region via Canada Post
We are introducing Discounted Flat Rates for customers based on where you live in Canada.
Once your cart total reaches $100* or $200, a flat rate will be applied to your check-out based on your postal code.
The flat rates include: free, $5, $10, and $15 (based on your cart total and where you live)
*if your cart total is under $100, regular Expedited shipping will be applied
Why the new shipping rates?
This new tiered flat rate system was created based on a need for our small business to catch up with rising costs of shipping, whilst also giving our customers a better shipping rate than if they were to pay at full cost. To make this fairer for everyone, we created these flat rates based on the region of the shipping address, as shipping costs are determined by region.
