Step into natural freedom with the Vivobarefoot Gobi Boot II Men’s Shoes, an everyday boot expertly designed to keep you connected to the ground beneath your feet. Whether you are navigating busy city streets or enjoying a relaxed weekend outing, these casual boots let you move precisely how nature intended.

Constructed from beautiful premium unlined Wild Hide leather, this footwear will continuously soften, mould to your unique shape, and develop rich character the more you wear it. To keep you comfortable on hard urban surfaces, the boot utilises a thoughtful Everyday Cork and recycled PU insole, which specifically incorporates a naturally antibacterial 3mm cork insole layered over sustainable polyurethane.

Down below, the signature Gobi Outsole boasts a minimalistic 4mm sole base alongside a completely flat 0mm tread depth, stripping away unnecessary bulk. This ultra-thin, flexible design allows your muscles and tendons to load and recoil naturally, helping your feet grow stronger with every single step.

With a wide, anatomical foot-shaped fit, your toes have ample room to splay, giving you better balance, improved posture, and a highly stable base of support. A secure and adjustable fit is guaranteed thanks to the sturdy metal eyelets combined with a stylish classic lace-up design featuring durable waxed cotton laces.

Key Features:

Lightweight: Approximately at 422g per shoe (size 42 EU) to keep your movement feeling uninhibited and natural.
Zero Drop: Completely flat platform from heel to toe that supports natural spinal alignment and a healthy, unforced posture, with 4mm sole base and 0mm tread depth offering lightweight protection while maintaining low-profile, flexible ground contact.
Foot-Shaped Fit: Ergonomic design allowing toes to splay for superior balance and stability.
Premium Unlined Wild Hide Leather: High-quality hide that ages gracefully and softens over time.
Classic Lace-Up With Waxed Cotton Laces: Traditional lacing system paired with durable waxed cotton laces to deliver a secure, customisable fit every time.
Metal Eyelets: Sturdy metal hardware that adds structural reinforcement and a classic outdoor look.
Everyday Cork and PU Insole: 3mm cork cushioning that blends recycled polyurethane (PU) with sustainable materials and provides a naturally antibacterial layer that enhances breathability and keeps your feet feeling fresh.
Gobi Outsole: Delivers flexible, stripped-back urban performance for natural sensory feedback.

Yes. The unlined Wild Hide leather in Gobi Boot II naturally stretches and moulds to the unique contours of your feet after a week or two of consistent wear. If they feel just slightly snug out of the box, wearing them with thin socks initially will allow the leather to naturally break in and soften up.

Yes, the ultra-pliable 4mm thin outsole in the Gobi Boot II lets you completely roll up or compress the boots into a compact bundle. Because the premium Wild Hide leather lacks heavy internal reinforcing plastic inserts or structured heel counters, they flatten beautifully inside luggage without losing their structural shape or creasing permanently.

Yes. The Gobi Boot II, despite being only 4mm thick to maximise sensory feedback, the lifestyle sole that integrates Vivobarefoot’s patented, ultra-thin puncture-resistant layer.
