I love my vivos!, February 1, 2010
This review is from: Terra Plana Women's Lucy Lace Up Shoe (Apparel)
This is my second pair of Vivo Barefoots and I love them!! They are very comfortable and cute too. I get compliments on them all the time. Make sure you order at least one size up especially for the larger sizes.

Fantastic, November 13, 2010
This review is from: Terra Plana Women's Lucy Lace Up Shoe (Apparel)
As a dedicated barefooter before buying these, I wanted a pair of shoes that I could wear while in public without sacrificing the barefoot-style walk (normal shoes cause me back/neck pain within minutes). Not a fan of the Vivo toe shoes, I discovered these, and after a few months of waffling, I finally spent the cash to get a pair.
In all honesty, I don't think they're particularly attractive. They look like floppy skate shoes. In retrospect, I sort of wish I'd bought them in a lighter color. However, that's immaterial, because these shoes are the best.
But talk about high quality. These shoes are, hands down, the greatest I've ever owned. Extra comfortable, simple and easy to clean, I can't get enough of them.
The only reason I gave them 4/5 is that regret the lack of grommets on the lace holes. The fact that they are just leather-punched causes the shoelaces to bunch and twist up, and the laces wear out very quickly.
All in all, if you're a barefooter, or want to become one, I love these shoes and would recommend them to anyone. Just be cautious; absolutely order one size up, and don't get discouraged by foot soreness with these shoes - it's just your foot getting used to being strengthened.
