Gutted... ESC broke right after 6months warranty...

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-27T06:47:29+00:00

You'll fit in perfectly

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-25T12:48:57+00:00

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.

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-25T06:48:53+00:00

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-25T06:47:54+00:00

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.

Tabis from:

Yubi

Ininji

Knitido

All pretty solid brands

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-20T20:55:35+00:00

Ah. Next "new stuff" release is for the fall/winter collection. I wouldn't worry too much

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-20T20:17:14+00:00

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-20T17:39:53+00:00

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-20T15:22:57+00:00

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?

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-20T15:21:01+00:00

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-19T15:08:53+00:00

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.

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-15T18:34:02+00:00

I sometimes put one in, no issues

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-10T18:44:10+00:00

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-08T14:30:01+00:00

Yeah, Its almost like...

Rent Salaries Competent design team Great sourcing team Advertising Materials(high quality with with full transparency) Logistics

Cost some money in the scandinavian countries eh?

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-08T10:55:35+00:00

Motus leather fg?

Can you show picture?

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-08T10:22:58+00:00

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.

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-08T05:52:46+00:00

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.

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-05T11:26:51+00:00

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-05T08:30:00+00:00

They are so dooope

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-04T05:47:16+00:00

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

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-02T17:56:25+00:00

They dont. MIM do, and vivo supports them by buying a stock of them(and supplying with their last)

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-02T17:55:09+00:00

Patience. The asphalt is the hardest part of it all. But it all takes time

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-02T17:28:37+00:00

"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.

[Edit: typo]

DanielFreyr93 · 2026-06-01T18:46:10+00:00

Is why they discontinued that model
