About VivoBarefoot Vivobarefoot Tigray Shoes - Leather, Minimalist (For Men)
Closeouts. Naturally gorgeous Ethiopian leather in a minimalist design? That's not something you hear every day -- and that's exactly what's so amazing about Vivobarefoot's Tigray shoes. The company teamed up with humanitarian group Soul of Africa to produce these stunning shoes that have a supple Ethiopian leather upper and a thin, barefoot-worthy sole for ultimate proprioceptive feedback.
- Every design element of a Vivobarefoot shoe supports the stimulation of "proprioception," which is the body's natural sense of its own position, balance and movement

- Premium Ethiopian full-grain leather upper
- Pure leather laces
- Smooth leather lining
- Uncushioned footbed for maximum environmental feedback to your feet
- Thin rubber outsole
- Made in Ethiopia
- Half sizes order up

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great Everyday ShoesVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Tennessee on Friday, July 15, 2016Sizing is definitely different for vivobarefoot. I wear between a size 10-10.5 for most shoes and got size 42 in these. They fit great and I actually probably could wear a 41, but I wear theme as slip on shoes so I like some extra room. The leather is super comfortable, I wear these barefoot. The stitching on one shoe seems to have not been tied off properly, but it shouldn't be difficult for me to fix. Other then that the build quality seems great. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great shoes! (Just order a size down)Verified Buyer Reviewed by mlee from minnesota on Tuesday, June 7, 2016Finally got the replacement after sending the first two pairs back because they were too big. I have now worn them and they are very comfortable. This is incredible considering how thin the sole is. I'm very impressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Stylish, comfortable and look to be high quality. Order one Size down.Verified Buyer Reviewed by mlee from Minnesota on Wednesday, May 25, 2016Great pair of shoes, but be sure to order one size down. I have had to send two pairs back due to sizing issues. I wear a Nike size 10.5 and would recommend going with a 43 (U.S. size 9).

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great looking SHoeReviewed by mlee from mankato, mn on Thursday, May 12, 2016Got these, but was not able to wear them due to size problems. As others have said, disregard the directions to get the next size up. Order your regular size or go to a website that has the Vivobarefoot size calculator. It allows you to put in the size you wear in certain brands and then gives you your Vivobarefoot size. I will repost once I receive the exchanged size. I usually wear a 10.5 and ordered the 45.

3.0 out of 5 stars. Tigray shoesVerified Buyer Reviewed by Matt in Michigan from MI on Sunday, May 8, 2016I can't review the quality, only the fit. The descriptions said to order a size up if you are a half size. I disagree. You should order down. My feet were swimming in them. I couldn't keep them and the next size down was sold out. This is a bummer, but I really wanted these.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Excellent shoeReviewed by PaulK from Pennsylvania on Wednesday, April 20, 2016This is a minimalist shoe with very little cushioning, yet surprisingly comfortable. As it is completely flat with a wide toe box, it is excellent for promoting good posture. This is true of all vivobarefoot shoes. They look and feel like a modern day Indian moccasins. The leather is soft and comfortable. I like wearing them barefoot, even though I usually prefer to wear socks. Possibly my favorite shoe. I would not wear them in the woods or on trails though. They are a little too refined for that. They are most suitable for casual wear in town or city. I correctly guessed my size, so no issues there. Sierra is selling these at a very good price and I've been very satisfied with my transactions with them. How much do I like these? Well, I just bought my second pair within a month and will probably buy a third pair. I'm stocking up so I can wear them well into the future. You never know when the manufacturer will discontinue them.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Comfortable shoes.Verified Buyer Reviewed by The Average American Apparel Shopper from The United States of America on Friday, February 26, 2016These are like Nike Free running shoes without the refinements. I would not use these in a rugged environment. But, for casual strolling and routine local treks they're fine. They seem to be constructed well with all leather (except for the soles).
