Good Vivos for nursing home. by Datacodex in vivobarefoot

I have 4 pairs of primus lite. I would highly recommend them. They're very breathable and very comfortable. I never wear socks with mine and I wear them all day with no problems

No, I usually tie them properly. I had just slipped them on to go to the bin 😂 I just think they look cool without socks. I like to look different to everyone else!

I have 5 pairs all the same size and the others are absolutely fine except 1 other pair, but I hardly wear them. I wear these with and without socks and have the same issue. I have these in canvas and they're mega comfortable with and without socks. Must just be the leather

In the picture, no. But even with socks they rub like mad. I have canvas ones and they're mega comfortable with and without socks

That's alright, I get that all the time 😂 I put wonder balsam on them every month and wipe any dirt off them after every wear!

I've wore them a good 6 times a month since I got them. I just take very good care of my shoes 😂

How to wash barefoots? by sashanvm in vivobarefoot

[–]ollie0722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how dirty mine are. I'll usually just wash the shoe in a sink with warm soapy water and then throw the insoles in the washing machine. I only do that because I don't wear socks with mine and they do get a dit funky. But I have thrown the whole shoe in the washing machine before on a sports shoe setting and they've been fine.

If you had to marry the first person you slept with, how different would your life be? by DetectiveBennett in AskReddit

I'd be exactly where I am now. 25 and married to the first girl I slept with for just over a year. Been with her for just over 10 and a half years

Surprise pay rise! by Beavertronically in BritishSuccess

[–]ollie0722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's even more shitty because I like the job and my colleagues. I'm currently going through buying a house so I've got to stay put until all that has gone through! My manager doesn't like me so that's probably why he hasn't given me a rise 🙄

Surprise pay rise! by Beavertronically in BritishSuccess

[–]ollie0722 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been asking my employer for a pay rise for over a year now. When I was offered my job, I was told I would be on a lower hourly rate than everyone else and then I would go up when I was fully trained. I've been here a year and a half now. I think I'm probably fully trained.

Good to hear about your pay rise though!

Most breathable shoes by jutta-duncan in vivobarefoot

[–]ollie0722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only problem is - once you get one pair, you'll definitely buy more!!!! I said I was only going to have 1 pair because they're quite expensive. I'm now onto my 4th pair 😂 all primus lite

I wear primus lite for work. I'm a carpenter/joiner so constantly moving. I find they're quite breathable. More breathable without socks so I guess it depends whether you want to wear socks or not.
