Near-Perfect Shoe
I’ve been wearing Vivo Magna’s as my go-to shoe for 4 years now. I typically get one year out of each pair, but I wear them for everything, every day. These shoes are comfortable, water-resistant to the ankle, and very capable. The tread is enough for me to trust them on long backpacking trips, but subtle enough to work as a daily shoe for the office. The zero-drop sole of the shoe makes it a great option for the gym too.My only complaint about these shoes is durability. For a shoe that retails around $250-$275, I expect longer lasting adhesion between the outsole and upper. I typically start seeing separation around the 2 month mark, although I’ve never experienced any leaking or need for repair before the ~1 year mark.With that being said, I look past the durability issues because otherwise, this is the closest I have ever found to a perfect, do-everything shoe. 9.8/10. True to size. Available in several colors, materials, and a more outdoors oriented outsole is available as well.

Best barefoot shoes
The media could not be loaded. Real leather, great quality, and very comfortable. I have wide feet and these have been amazing. I love wearing them hiking.

Not new shoes, several manufacturing defects, and Vivo customer service wouldn’t respond.
These were clearly used and not just a little. Looked like someone went on a hike or skateboarding in them. Dirt on the bottom and sidewalls, scuff marks, and creases already starting to wear in the leather. There were also several manufacturing defects: Untrimmed material jabbing into the ankle, glue splotches on the upper, and the two layers of the insoles were separating in both shoes.When I reached out to Vivobarefoot directly through their website I never got a response beyond the automated email confirming they received my message. Followed up after ten days and still never got a response. Not sure what’s going on at this company. Sadly, I’ve lost confidence in them. Ended up buying the Merrell Trail Glove 7s for less and love them. Hoping they’ll last longer than the seven months I got out of my VivoBarefoot Magna Trail II. Waterproofing on those gave up after a few months even with reapplication spray and then the soles started to separate. Disappointed. I liked this design and wanted to love the brand.

Good for people who are on their feet all day.
I bought these shoes for my bf and he wears them at work everyday. He mostly stands on his feet 6-8 hrs a day. Vivo does the job. These pair are more comfortable compare to other popular brand he had before, light weight, good quality, not bulky, not slippery. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

Stiff
I have unfortunately only had one pair of shoes in my life that was perfect, some merrel gloves, no longer being sold. Minimalist shoes they were.I'm on the PCT thru hike now, and beforehand bought shoes with cushioningwith the belief that it was needed for the trip, as such long and extraneous hiking would punish my feet, but in the end those shoes made my feet experience hell, to the point I walked many miles just in water shoes, who's only negative was slipping and giving the balls of my feet blisters.I was looking at different shoes, but people recommend these, and in a rash move, I changed over to ordering these, before I hit next town.They were tight on my feet, barefoot type shoes Shure, but stiff. After two days the leather bit into my big toe joint, carving off skin with every step, as the leather decided to bend that way.The flaps on the side main function seem to be to collect dirt and stones, that huddle in at the bottom refusing to leave.Lots of money I wish I had spent more wisely.

First impression - love these shoes
I just got them, but I really like them a lot. They are a lot more comfy than my Xero Daylight Hikers, and they have such a cool look, too.The integrated wool sock is excellent, and the removable thermal sole is a sweet bonus for when it gets cold outside. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up. I got the leather/wool ones because I heard that they hold up better than the knit or vegan ones.

An amazing shoe, really great for everyday wear
I have been wearing wide toe-box, zero drop, barefoot shoes for years. These are by far the most versatile I own. They are just amazing. I have a few other pairs of vivobarefoot most notably the Vivobarefoot Tracker II FG. These are basically the same just reimagined into something more practical. I wear these every single day all day, everywhere, but to the gym. They are amazing.

VIVOBAREFOOT Magna FG, Mens Leather
Absolutely love these! They look so cool and so comfortable as well.My feet feel so free with these. I can spread my toes naturally and gives me really good grip that way. Once you try Vivobare Foot, you will find normal shoes so restricted and narrow.Materials feel premium and all the seems are nicely sealed.They are true to size.

Never buy from Legend Footwear DE (or these shoes)
Initially I was amazed by these shoes. Therefore, I assume that the positive reviews are from people who wrote them too early. They felt great, kept my feet dry even when standing in water. Why one star then? Because these180€ shoes did this for a total of four months before they started falling apart.When contacting the vendor they initially tried to dismiss me by misrepresenting what I said (of not that, then it would be an extreme level of incompetence). Even after explaining that their behavior is illegal they offered a "generous" 25€, (successfully) gambling on me not taking them to court.In conclusion I can't recommend this shoe, since despite the brand image being about longevity, the shoes don't last and I can certainly say to never purchase anything from Legend Footwear DE. Abiding laws is optional to them and their customer service is basically non-existent.
