Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your barefoot journey.
How do I find the right size for barefoot shoes?
Our shoes are designed to fit 'wide, thin, and flexible.' We recommend leaving about 6-10mm of space at the front of the shoe to allow your toes to splay naturally. Most customers find their usual size works best, but you can consult our printable size guide for precision.
What is the 100-day trial policy?
We believe it takes time to transition to barefoot movement. You can wear our shoes for up to 100 days, and if you aren't completely satisfied with the experience, you can return them for a full refund, no questions asked.
How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days within the UK and USA. International shipping times vary by location but generally range from 7-14 business days. You will receive a tracking link as soon as your order leaves our warehouse.
Are Vivobarefoot shoes sustainable?
Sustainability is at our core. We use recycled plastics, bio-based materials like corn and algae, and responsibly sourced leather. We also offer a 'Revivo' program where we repair and resell pre-loved footwear to keep shoes out of landfills.
Can I use these shoes for running and hiking?
Absolutely. We offer specific ranges for road running, trail running, and hiking. Our puncture-resistant soles provide protection while maintaining the sensory feedback your brain needs for natural movement.
How do I clean and maintain my shoes?
For canvas and synthetic styles, use a damp cloth and mild soap. For leather styles, we recommend using a natural leather balsam to keep the material supple and water-resistant. We advise against machine washing as it can damage the specialized adhesives.
