With non-barefoot-style shoes, I was never able to run for more than a minute (interval) at a time, (even if I trained religiously for a whole year) because of shin splints. If I pushed myself any more than that, the shin splints got so bad, I couldn't lift my feet. One person once asked (in jest, because she knew about this) if I was doing my cool-down already. I even had dreams of trying to run and constantly being held back by an unseen force. I had long ago decided that running just isn't for me. Then I bought a pair of Vivobarefoot Evas. After no more than 8 sporadic runs, I was up to running half an hour at a time! And I can't wait for the next run!
Also, they're light, great for everyday use (if you don't mind answering a lot of questions), and breathable.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes! They are the most comfortable I've worn....nice and flexible, all the benefits of barefoot without the dangers. However, I am disappointed with the wear of the sole. I've lived in them now for three weeks (I wear them to work every day and am on my feet for long hours), and the sole is showing a great deal of wear already. And that's from INSIDE wear, so I'd hate to see what happens if you actually use them for running outdoors. I've worn them both with and without the sock insert, and both ways, my feet tend to sweat. I guess I just need to wear socks with them to prevent that. I wish they were less expensive so I can buy them for the rest of my life and wear nothing but these, but I can't replace them every 2-3 months because the sole material won't hold up.

As with any barefoot shoes, it is an adjustment to go from heavily supported athletic shoes to unsupported "barefoot." Start off by wearing these around the house for a short time, walk around in them. Personally, I still just wear them for walking and daily use I am not a runner. But if you do like to run, make sure you take time to adjust to walking in them before running. I love the large toe box. My feet are happy in these.
Honest reviews on Vivobarefoot Women's Ultra Running Shoe
This shoe is very flat and you can feel everything you step on. It is very much like being barefoot. These are perfect for the river . You would have to be cautious if where you walk or run in them of sharp objects. I enjoy them for summer play.

I just bought this shoe to replace a early model vivo barefoot shoe which had a great sole and was very comfortable but was falling apart on the vamp after a year of sporadic use (Most weeks 0 miles, some weeks max 15 miles.)This new shoe is $90 less than the earlier model so I was willing to forgive some durability for the price. However it's actually just the same material as Crocs (top and sole)and after only three weeks there is noticable wear on the sole and I have received a puncture wound on my foot from an acacia thorn penetrating the sole. I would like to see a barefoot shoe that has both a durable vamp and sole. I'm already planning to buy another replacement for these replacements, probably Merrells this time. Also, goodness the honeycomb design is horrible about letting debri in.
