Thread: Stalking shoes

The Vivomove options are barefoot shoes without the split toes so warmer, more comfortable and less freaky to look at.

Buy 5mm if you’re wanting warmer, but 3mm should be enough for north island.

The more expensive ones will be warmer and softer and easier to put on. They’re epic for river crossings as you’d imagine.

I’ve been using the vivomove brand ones from Australia now for a couple years and can confirm they are the ducks nuts! They are expensive but so so good, you can feel the ground and flex the sole but also get good ankle support etc. if you’re buying on a budget they do come out with a couple sales a year - check them out https://vivobarefoot.com.au/collecti...42705087103193
