As a transition shoe: Due to the high groundfeel and medium flexibility, those new to barefoot would want to transition gradually with this model. You might start out only wearing them for short periods of time with lower impact activities.

The Gobi Hiber is water resistant due to being treated, and eventually that treatment will become less effective. In months when you’re wearing them several times a week, you’ll want to reapply a waterproofing treatment monthly to replenish the water repellant qualities. Apply less often for occasional wear. Vivobarefoot recommends the brand Liquiproof Premium Protector, but you can use your favourite products designed for synthetic fabric like polyester.

Brush off mud and clean with a damp cloth. To dry them, remove insoles and dry at room temperature. Store away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

If you thought colder weather meant not having it all, you were wrong. With faux shearling Primaloft lining to the toe and temperature-regulating insoles, the Hiber keeps you warmer than ever, without compromising barefoot feeling or flexibility. With stripped-back soles for barefoot living and a fit and feel that encourages you to develop your barefoot movement skills.

Super lightweight and easy to pack for travel, these stylish warm and cozy boots are a perfect choice for dry cold days. They’ll stand up to a light rain, but the soles are grippiest on hard flat surfaces, so they are not going to be your shovelling boots on a snowy day. Make a fashionable statement while feeling like you’re wearing slippers this winter with the Gobi Hiber.
