Vivobarefoot Explorer Mid JJF Boot Women's

Vivobarefoot uses gendered European sizing. A men’s 41 is equivalent to a women’s 41 in length, however the men’s sizing is wider and higher volume throughout.

According to Vivobarefoot and our preliminary research, this model fits large, so most customers will want to go a size down.

As a transition shoe: Due to the medium groundfeel and flexibility, these shoes are great for most people to transition with. While it’s still important to pay attention to your body’s limits, these shoes may require less changes to your routine if you’re new to barefoot.

To clean, gently brush off dirt and wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For drying, remove the insole and allow the shoes to air-dry at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight and radiators.

For aftercare, we recommend using Liquiproof Premium Protector, as the textile may gradually lose some of its original water-repellent properties; this product helps restore and maintain that protection.

The Explorer Mid is designed to keep your feet warm in cold conditions while still allowing you to stay connected to the ground beneath you. Built for everyday winter use, it performs best in chilly urban environments, light outdoor adventures, and casual trail walks—anywhere you need warmth, comfort, and reliable ground feel without committing to heavy-duty hiking boots.

It’s not intended for technical mountain terrain or high-performance backcountry activities. Featuring PrimaLoft® insulation and a flexible, pull-on design, it offers effortless wear and exceptional winter comfort. Although versatile enough for daily wear, its true strength shines during the fall and winter seasons. This season, it has been refreshed through John John Florence collaboration, introducing a new nature-inspired colourway.
