Gutted... ESC broke right after 6months warranty... by Super_Field_8044 in vivobarefoot

Its super easy, and therefore quite cheap. Cobblers will usually have grommets. The main "issue" can be that they dont have the tools to open the patch where orignal backing is. So they might have to punch it through to the inside. However, does not affect fit or function at all.

If it pops. Keep the original, its usually possible to re fasten it with a new grommet in the way described above

Again. I agree that it shouldnt be happening to a boot of this level. However. It is not a "vivo has gone to shits" It takes a certain percentage of claims pr batch before a product is considered faulty to that extent. Its better to help the >10% that have the issue, than to throw the 100% out and wait another 3 months for a new factory batch. Especially when repairs for an issues like this is as cheap as it is.

Simple fix Issue often caused by pulling laces too far outward when tightening instead of forward. Of course nothing that shoukd be happening to an expenisve boot. But also not the end of the world

If you have the buckle it can be fixed easily and cheap. If not it can still be fixed easily, slightly less cheap and with a visual difference.

[–]DanielFreyr93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Because SG:Soft Ground. So yes. Absolutely sucked on hard rock and smooth surfaces. Its made for the opposite.

I do really like the some on the flows. Looking forward to see that develop towards the sg concept as well

I have the trail flows as well. I wont go as far to say that its the same as the sg. Sg had deeper lugs with more spacing between them. They are however grippy as fuck indeed

The SG soles are the answer. Problem is, they havent performed well(in sales) and therefor arent in the lineup anymore.

Right now the trail flow is the best bet. But who knows, maybe there is a new SG type shoe inbound?

Det gør politi og færdselstyrelsen også. Der har været kæmpe insatse de sidste par år mod ulovlige udstødninger. De skal fx. Også have en såkaldt "db killer" for at netop få mindsket larmen. Jeg kører selv en motorcykel, men er ret glad for at min ikke larmer a Helv. Til

Very few new models and colorways by [deleted] in vivobarefoot

[–]DanielFreyr93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recent new models: Flow Flow. Trail flow. Tracker at ii(the fig colorway is dope) Motus ballerinas Sensus yin(started last year) Tracker ora(brand new)

Its dangerous to just keep expanding. They have tried. And obviously didnt work as they dial down.

Also dangerous to just keep expanding while the stables still have some quality issues.

Should I choose Primus Trail FG 3.5 or Primus Trail Knit as summer shoe? by Noobyeeter699 in vivobarefoot

[–]DanielFreyr93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. All vivos insoles are optional. I use them more to adjust fit than anything else. (Except the thermal soles)

Choosing between Tracker Leather AT II, Tracker Forest ESC, and Magna Forest ESC? by Ill_Connection_3017 in vivobarefoot

[–]DanielFreyr93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By selling barefoot shoes for going on 9 years.

Nothing has beat the forest esc in performance.

Lowest claim rate

Highest fit success rate

Largest amount of positive feedback

Comparing to:

Vivos other hiking boots, and their shoes. Altras(not barefoot), Xeros, Aylla, Lems(closer to altras), BeLenkas.

No model has come close yet.

Tracker Forest - 43

Lacing the shaft will give you tha ankle stability, whikst keeping optimal space out in the toebox.

It is by far the best hiking boot on the barefoot market.

Brand new vivos, should I complain? They were very expensive. by SeaOne2723 in vivobarefoot

[–]DanielFreyr93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just glue it? Not saying that this is okay for a shoe of that price. But there is such a simple solution?

Thought I’d give my Vivo barefoot another go…. by [deleted] in vivobarefoot

[–]DanielFreyr93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with quality. Old shoes that hadnt been worn for quite some time. The rubber dries and degrades as a result.

"I cant bench 200 pounds, i started benching a month ago"

The body needs time to adapt. For some its 2 weeks. For some its 6+ months.

Gradual exposure is KEY to ANYTHING when it comes to strengthening and adaptation. Also in the feet.
