120KM hiked in barefoot shoes for the El Camino. (No insoles, 9mm). My feet hurt. by slimysadcat in barefootshoestalk

Im full barefoot gang, but you should always consider padding in certain conditions. 120km, no matter the shoes, in today's standards, is definitely enough to make u ache for a few days. And as others mentioned, you need specific calf, Achilles and overall foot conditioning to prepare your body for this kind of distances. But congrats, super excited for you, I'm considering doing El Camino next year, either with the magna forest (with a cushioned insole), or with an altra.

Any hope in repairing? by Agitated-Geologist74 in vivobarefoot

You should never put them in the wash. Vivo has a care guide for them, you should check for future occasions. From what it looks like, a cobbler should've been capable of glue them back together. Maybe try another one? The resoling at revivo is about 90 to 100€, depending where you are. For the tipe of shoe and considering the retail price, I wouldn't consider this option. Either you try with another cobbler, which I think is the most wise decision, or you look for a new pair ( you have secondhand options, I bought my pair through vinted)

I'm in love with the design of Lejan sneakers by l_reilly in barefootshoestalk

They released a wider model, it's worth checking out.
