I bought the Primus Lite Knite about 4-5 months ago, and i totally agree it changes the shape or even the preference for comfort. I tried wearing my old joggers (which were comfortable before the barefoot shoes i bought) and they were absolutely painful and too tight. I ended up buying the Gobi III for smart casual events. I am concerned about rain and what will happen if they get wet, ill be sure to update anyone whos interested. Bottom line, i would highly recommend the Gobi III shoes.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Primus Lite Knit and Gobi III shoes. You've made versatile barefoot choices 🙌 I've found the natural water resistance of the Gobi's to be sufficient during showers. Let us know your long-term impressions, I'm sure others would be interested as well. Thanks for being part of the conversation 😃
The insole supplied with them really warps around the heel for me, anyone else experienced that? Still no blisters or anything but I had to return my pair because some bulge formed between the layers of the boot's insole after my first walk. Otherwise, they are comfortable like nothing non-sporty I wore before but they don't really seem to be made to be worn without the insole unlike Primus
Totally agree with their comfort. They make me look forward to wearing a formal shoe. I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t had the best experience Have you looked into any other formal, barefoot or desert boots?
I have the same problem with the Geo Court model. I'll not return them though bc I like them too much, I'd rather start looking for a different insole and right now I'm trying to push them a little forward in the shoe before I put them on.
Yes they made the Gobi insole wider than on the Gobi ii despite making the Gobi iii shoe narrower. Took me ages to work out that was the reason I disliked my Gobi iii's but love my Gobi ii's. I've not tried it yet but I think they can be trimmed down to be the right shape.
I've had this issue with the Ra III, the outsole starts to stretch out and bubble at the hell and forefoot after a month. I've returned them and got a new pair 3 times now. Sad it's the design of the rubber sole, my favorite shoes I've ever purchased so hopefully they update them
After merely two days of hiking up and down the hills around Nijmegen wearing my new barefoot forest esc shoes, my second toes got de-attached from the big toes! Quite a result, I'd say. That was a week ago and haven't got cramps in my toes and legs at night since. (Knock on wood). Bought these Gobi iii based on your review for I was searching my eye balls out for an - almost - all round barefoot shoe, city and park, for the coming Dutch autumn and winter which are not so harsh. Should it get really harsh, I'll wear my forest ones. Looking forward to their arrival! Thanks for this video!
It sound like you’ve made a great choice and your body and feet are enjoying the freedom. Thanks for taking the time to watch and hope you enjoy the Gobi 👣
After a few months how have the shoes been, especially in rainy conditions? Say just traversing around the cities on rainy days, got any wet socks or all dry so far?
You’re very welcome Vagabond 🙏🏻 hope you enjoyed my thoughts 💭 Their width is what convinced me to purchase them after a pair of tight brogues felt way too smothering, so echo your thoughts. Are you tempted by the Gobis?
@@OwenJackson yeah you kinda convinced me. I'm not as active as you are (unless I'm at the gym) but I find myself walking around my desk in my socks these days so it would make sense getting some barefoot shoes.
@@OwenJacksonupdate: it's a good shoe. Been wearing them to work and they're super comfortable. They've kind of spoiled me as I find it hard to wear conventional shoes now because I can't feel the ground.
I am making a fuss at work over footwear, I am done with unhealthy demands of modernity. I can barely wear supported shoes anymore, even in wide fit unless I am going for a run and gonna stomp the ground. Hoping to transition out of that soon enough.
@@AlecFortescue I hope you manage to find some good shoes. Honestly, the Gobi III shoes are great. I also bought the Vivobarefoot Addis shoes for the gym.
Hey Sean, thanks for watching mate. Your feet will thank you, once you unleash them into foot shaped shoes, it's hard to go back to 'conventional' footwear 🦶 Do you need steel toe caps for work? The Tracker ESC is a super functional boot, I think you'll love the aesthetic, although maybe not suitable if you need safe rating ua-cam.com/video/Th-L4ENPcJs/v-deo.html
Beautiful shoe, just bought a pair yesterday in bracken. I love the slip on freet shoes too and lems slip on as well. The lems are less like a true barefoot shoe though. Overall, nothing beats the real thing, I’m barefoot 90% of the time.
Love to hear your barefoot lifestyle Hugh. Also love what you’re doing with Movement and getting back to nature through your content. Great to connect with likeminded individuals such as yourself 🙏🏻 💚 keep doing your thing and exploring nature 🦶🏻
My Gobi2 is still going strong although it is only served as my travel and causal dressing shoes. Don’t see much difference btw 2 and 3, maybe just the upholstery leather from cow hide to some recycled leather.
Hi Owen, Love the video and your energy! I saw that there is light rain/snow in your video and I have a question about the Gobi iii resisting water. How do they hold up with wet weather? Do they have any water resistant feature at all? Would you say these must not touch water at all since they are made from natural leather?
Hey Kendrick, appreciate the thoughtful comment ⚡️ hope you enjoyed a little tour of Nottingham 🏹 My feedback with resistance to water and inclement weather. Due to the natural properties of leather, I’d presume they offer a good level of protection from surface splashes and general adversity. My guess would be they wouldn’t stand up to persistent or repeated submerging in water, like you’d find in boggy, water logged fields. However that isn’t their intended purpose. You pose an interesting question and I will potentially seek out some puddles to test their full potential 💦 As long as you don’t let water rise above the stitching line of the boot, I’d suppose they’ll be happy in varying conditions 🌦️Also the tread isn’t super deep for deep snow, but my thought would be you would select a different shoe for when the weather got really bad 😊 Just my opinions 💭 and I caveat all of the above by saying they’ve been warm and comfortable in the nominal snow flakes, however the majority of time I’ve worn them in regular formal activities with minimal wet weather so can only comment on my experience ❄️ Let me know if I can help any further
@@OwenJackson I guess just talking about self-improvement related topics. Breathing/cold exposure seems to be your niche. Maybe like nature vlogs focused on learning a particular breathe work exercise? Or even just a vlog to a particular cold dip location or something :)

Hi, I saw that you chose 42, but exactly what size foot are you? How do they fit? Since I'm a size 8 I don't know whether to take the same size or a larger one, even though I usually wear size 8. Thanks
Hi Paolo, on the Vivo website, you'll find a helpful link under the shoe size selection called 'What is my Vivobarefoot size?' It should provide you with a good indication. A size 8 fits me well, but since everyone's feet are uniquely shaped and sized, I can't provide specific advice for your individual needs. I hope that helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
hi Imani, in the mens version they have given me plenty of width and I have enjoyed the freedom it has given my feet for formal occasions. I would imagine the women's version is the same. I have tried the women's version of vivobarefoot before [ I wanted blue primus lites] and found the mens and women's near identical. Im sure there is some difference but I couldn't perceive it. Consider also the Gobi Boot which I have found a fantastic shape, generous sizing and freedom for my feet. video here: ua-cam.com/video/diSta9Lg1ds/v-deo.htmlsi=PZYshGO0PeVHhthy
Thank you for the reply. Yes, me too can’t tell the difference between the mens and womens. Prefer an all seasons footwear but will check out the Gobi shoes, thanks

Hey lord fufu. Cool name 🤙🏻 I’ve just been wearing mine in fact to this question is timely. They do look reminiscent of an old school football boot.

Hi! I’ve a question: i have a 49 size primus lite III and they fit PERFECT with my feet. But now i want to buy the “Gobi Lux Mens Desert Boots Brown”…does the gobi fit in the same way as the primus lite III?
Hey Alessio I think you’ll love the boots. Size wise, the Gobi are representative to the fit of the Primus Lite iii. I think the Gobi and the Lites work as a great pairing 🙌🏻 The Lite iii do such a great job that it makes it hard for other shoes, but wearing the Gobi, they feel like a mature and stylish big brother. Does that make sense 😊 Don’t forget OWEN10 gets you 10% off ✌🏻
I got size 8 Primus Lite and got Size 8 Gobi two months later - They feel different and there is definitely much more room should you remove the in-sole. They do not "wrap" around your foot as easily as Primus does; they're less adjustable and should you take the insole out they'll be quite roomy and wobbly. They are close enough to the feel of Primus and very comfortable as long as you keep the insole inside and even with that bit of friction I never got a blister during long walks; they just harden my skin slowly over time.

@@OwenJackson 3 years or so. Mainly because I have a huge foot on the sides and I literally can't wear anything else. Before barefoot just the thought of buying shues was giving me ptsd. They are extremely costly so I just bought one pair of most useful ones and I overused them til nearly total degradation, but they are handling well
@@OwenJackson Idk talking about outfit, would have been nice to see a smart casual one. That's what I'm looking for with this shues. Preferably regular trousers, jeans whatever. I am not good at fashion so I was looking for inspiration that match those shues, but everyone is talking about how healthy their legs are after returning to whoogaboga which I understand at this point.

Did the code work for you? It had to be changed, but maybe one day I’ll be back to the original code.
In the meantime. Let me know if I can help any further 🙏🏻
@@OwenJackson yes the good worked online but I’ll going to the store in person hopefully they do in store code deals
Let me know if it works instore 🛒 😊 have you decided what style you’re choosing? 🦶🏻
I already bought into hippy propaganda... now I just want to see how shue looking like with a fitting outfit damn
Thank you for watching. How do you think the outfit vibes? Also, I'm curious, how long have you been enjoying barefoot shoes?
@@OwenJackson 3 years or so. Mainly because I have a huge foot on the sides and I literally can't wear anything else. Before barefoot just the thought of buying shues was giving me ptsd. They are extremely costly so I just bought one pair of most useful ones and I overused them til nearly total degradation, but they are handling well
@@OwenJackson Idk talking about outfit, would have been nice to see a smart casual one. That's what I'm looking for with this shues. Preferably regular trousers, jeans whatever. I am not good at fashion so I was looking for inspiration that match those shues, but everyone is talking about how healthy their legs are after returning to whoogaboga which I understand at this point. I returned to whoogabooga myself, but I just want to know how to style them
