      Comments about Vivobarefoot Neo Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:

      I run in five-fingers in the summer, but winter's too cold for them, so I've tried quite a few other shoes for wintertime. I ran in these all winter, putting a heavy wool sock on for warmth. They are very nice- comfortable, allow you to run barefoot style, and you can feel the ground well yet run across gravel without pain; they have excellent traction. The only drawback is they aren't water resistant at all; if they were fully waterproof they would be perfect. They appear to be fairly durable- they survived a winter of heavy use in all kinds of weather and over all kinds of terrain just fine.

        Comments about Vivobarefoot Neo Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:

        I suffer from chronic pain, and one recommendation I'd received was to spend as much time as possible barefoot. So I figured I'd try "barefoot" shoes.

        The difference was immediate. The pain in my legs--my constant companion--disappeared. (And if I go back to my old shoes, it comes back.)

        I am not a runner and I don't go to the gym. I do enjoy hiking, however. And I was pleased to find that these shoes delievered! I wore them the entire time I was at Bryce Canyon and Zion Nat'l Parks. The terrin can be steep and slippery at times, and signs warn hikers to wear boots.

        I was glad that I had NOT worn boots, but rather these barefoot shoes. I found that I could use my whole foot to "grip" the trail, making me safer and less prone to injury.

        Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about these shoes. The only drawback is that I'm short and all of my pants have been hemmed to my old shoe height. Now my cuffs are dragging the ground again. Still, it's worth it.

          Comments about Vivobarefoot Neo Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:

          NOTE: My pros and cons are based on trying several different minimalist shoes. And while I haven't run with the five fingers - I've tried them on and find them awkward. With that said, I went to REI to purchase a pair of the Merrell Pace Gloves because I'm a huge fan of anything Merrell. However, while trying them on, the sales clerk offered me the Vivos to try on in comparison. The comfort and spacing in the toe box was noticeably different in favor of the vivos. I haven't run more than 6 miles in them at any given time, but these are the only running shoes I wear either on the trails or on the road... and I even used them during my first tri of the season. I would recommend trying them out to see for yourself!

            Loved these from the first run! Exactly what I wanted in a barefoot shoe- very comfortable, and also keeps me toes together so they stay warm! While I don't think I can wear these in rain or snow without getting wet feet, I will be able to wear them on cold, dry days.
