I wish I could just walk into the store and try these on. I have wide feet (4E) but my problem has never been the toe box. My forefoot/ball is way, way wider than my toes and even my midfoot is pretty wide. Finding a good all season barefoot boot is proving to be hard. I have wedge shaped feet, I guess. I was hoping these might be the boot but maybe not.
@@alex-sh3zy Normally if there is a consensus that they won't work for extra wide feet then it is a clear sign for me to move on to the next model, lol. I've done the order them and send them back runaround more than a few times now.
They're certainly the widest Vivo's, but for extra-wide, you'd want to look at Be Lenka bit.ly/3TloaW7, Softstar ua-cam.com/video/-e3j2_Zn8Lo/v-deo.html, or Realfoot bit.ly/3NzbwRu
I went back and forth over your gobis as you flexed the sole and I could see lateral cracks! Oh no! Looked at my brand new ones and they do too. It’s intended, part of the sole design.
Hi,nice video thanks, love this boots, I’m new in barefoot shoes, I try the the size 9 and 10 and both worn however the 10 give more room, I try the Primus all weather and looks for this one I will need 10, do you record will be better to get 9 that feet as a glove or 10 with more room in case my foot change? Many thanks
My rule of thumb (literally) is 1/2 to 1 full thumbnail's length between the end of my toe and the front of the shoe. This way I have a little room to grow and don't hit the front when going down a steep hill or adding thick socks in the wintertime.
I have two pairs of these in brown for my U.P.S. uniform. Highly recommend especially with replaceable sole. I Wear them all day every day from 30°-75°F until I go to shorts and low tops. Been using the sensus lately with shorts. If you can find me a size 39 (us womens 8, yes I'm a 5'6" man with feet to match 😂) in the winterized like you reviewed a year ago, id kill for a pair. Been looking for the insulated pair to no avail.
Great to know they worked for UPS, I figured they'd be nice for delivery drivers. Lucky you about the Sensus, even I haven't been able to get one yet! Hopefully they'll bring back the Winterized this fall. You can also check revivo.com.
I love the overlaid leather toe design on these boots and the fact the sole is stitched on. Looks and practicality from Vivo 👍🏼
Yea, I think the overlays actually add a lot of waterproofing value. My feet always stay dry in the Gobi's.

Totally! Wish they also came in the Winterized tan color, that was dope, as well/

Damn, it's expensive being not normal 😔
@@Lord_Marquaad Lol, sure can be.

You know or the Aylla
Uma Chelsea Men Brown will be available in a summer edition?
Not that I know of, which is too bad. Most barefoot Chelsea boots seem to be insulated.

Do you mean the stitching part?
Hey @Andrew Folts, can you tell me where you got those cargo pants? They look slim just how I like my pants!

Did u get ur hands on the new gobi luxe and ra luxe
Would love to see a review on them too
They're still pre-order, but I'll ask for some when they're in stock. Both look amazing!
Beatiful shoes but it seems too long like "Pennywise shoes" maybe it'was the proper size?
Both Gobi's ran true to size for me. I'm always a 43-44 and the Vivo 44 fits perfectly, but you could size down if needed.
@@AndrewFolts same size for me!thank for your videos!
Hey Andrew, can you please tell me what cargo pants you're rocking. They look slim just how I like em!
L.L. Bean Explorer Ripstop. Just talked about them in my cargo pants video. ua-cam.com/video/TIVriHFQD98/v-deo.html
Hi! Thank you very much for your review. I’m between sizes. Should I size up or size down? 😊
Hey Yen, I'm a 10.5 and the 11 (44) always works for me, so maybe sizing up is the thing to do.
Thank you very much for your reply. 😊
