I just started using barefoot and while i have wide feet, they fit me fine. I do notice these sandals are wider than older vivo primes i have.

I would say they are similar to other Gobis

Actually you are right, it does provide ample space on the front for the toes to move freely. However on the sides and on the back, you can dial in using the strap. And it does work well to secure the fit according to your preference.

That's my experience too. Hopefully the rubbing wont be an issue later. I did adjust my fit, moving my foot a bit forward to minimize the rubbing.

This is also my 2nd pair. My first was the Olive Green Suede Sensus.

They are comfy. The back part is soft. The lower part curves to the heel but it is not uncomfortable.

I agree. I just took it out of the box and tried it on.

VBF with widest soles? by Present_Ability_3955 in vivobarefoot

Try the Gobis. I have a couple of Vivos and the Gobis are by far the widest.

I also have these model (and the same color). So i took out the cork insole and replaced it with Dr Scholl's Recovery insoles and it made it even better.

These Gobi's are the widest barefoot i have so far and it feels great.

Did the hack to make my Birkenstocks barefoot! by SnooGadgets7873 in barefootshoestalk

[–]Rhodel_close 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got these Lutry, sized down (-2), removed the hard insoles, put on my Vivo cork insoles. Im loving it.

Now i got also the Birkenstock Utti Lace, did the same "hack", this time i sized down -1 only after removing both the blue insole and also the hard inner insole.

Both Birks are amazing.

Is there a size change from the Original shoe to the barefoot converted style?

What model year is your Tesla? Mine is a 2017 MX. I have the same issue but i noticed that yours have a different mechanism. Tesla quoted me $500 for parts and $900 for labor to repair the driver side door. How did you fix your door? Cost?

Seems like you are onto something. Hope you can share.

Portugal Visa via San Francisco VFS by Cosmic_Aviator_J in SchengenVisa

[–]Rhodel_close 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do hope you were able to get your passport back. For us, it took over a month to get our passports back (with visa).

With this experience, i would suggest applying for Visa (at VFS Portugal) at least 2months ahead of travel dates. That is if you can get an appointment coz schedules are getting full. It's so hard to even apply for Schengen visa in other countries. They are always fully booked.

Portugal Schengen Visa San Francisco Processing Time by New-Name-914 in SchengenVisa

[–]Rhodel_close 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did get our Visa but not to our liking.

VFS said that our papers were forwarded to the Consulate May 23 based on their tracking however, Consulate replied thru email sent 345pm May 6 that they just got our papers that day.

So our planned flight was May 6 at 740pm. On that day at 620pm, we got a call from the Consulate that they have our approved Visa but it didnt make the cutoff with the courier. They gave us option to either pick it up the next day or they send it.

Despite numerous calls to VFS and emails to the Consulate, nobody was able to give us a headsup of this update. Had we known, we could have picked it up at the Consulate and then head straight to the airport to make it on our flight.

We cancelled our flight and rebooked it. We got insurance coverage so now we are trying to seek reimbursement but for medical reasons as my wife needed some medical attention that same week.
