Vivobarefoot Motus Flex Natural Mens Shoes

The Vivobarefoot Motus Flex Natural Men’s Shoes blend unrestricted mobility with the protection you need for the real world - providing barefoot freedom when unshod training isn't an option. Ideal for yoga, calisthenics, primal movement or crushing bodyweight gym sessions, these barefoot training shoes are best for embracing your active lifestyle with flexibility and natural materials.

What makes Vivobarefoot shoes so special is the improved sensory feedback and ground connection. According to Vivobarefoot, “Flexible footwear allows the muscles and tendons to load and recoil, helping your feet get stronger for a natural spring in every step”.

The combination of a zero drop platform and ultralight 270g weight (size Men’s 42 EU) means these barefoot exercise shoes help support your natural biomechanics. An adaptable fit is achieved with the single-piece knitted sock upper, allowing your feet to engage fully.

Crafted from 98% recycled polyurethane foam, the Ortholite Performance Insole supports natural movement while keeping your carbon footprint lighter on the environment. The Motus Flex Outsole boosts your proprioception with the two-part flex - twisting and bending effortlessly with your foot.

Designed For Natural Movement: With a wide, foot-shaped toe box designed to strengthen your overall balance and stability, your toes can splay out the way nature intended.
Zero-Drop Shoes: Being completely flat from heel to toe, these barefoot gym shoes help restore your body's natural posture and alignment from the ground up.
Lightweight Design: Weighing just 270g (size Men's 42 EU), these barefoot trainers help set your feet free.
Single-piece Knitted Sock Upper: The single-piece knit upper is crafted with premium natural yarns like breathable Tencel, giving you a glove-like fit that's incredibly soft and adaptive.
Adjustable Fastening: Outfitted with an easy-to-use elastic lace and toggle setup, ensuring a precise, secure and personalised fit for most workouts.
Recycled Ortholite Insole: The performance insole uses recycled foam, giving you a little extra underfoot comfort during tough studio sessions while staying kind to the planet.
Motus Flex Outsole: A 2.5mm, super thin decoupled outsole with 50% natural rubber delivers grip and protection while providing increased sensory feedback.

Yes, Vivobarefoot shoes have been good for many walkers, runners and gym goers seeking to strengthen their feet and balance by allowing them to engage more fully. This is achieved through wide, foot-shaped toe boxes, a zero drop platform for natural alignment and thin outsoles that boost ground connection to move more intuitively. However, barefoot shoes may not be suitable for everyone (e.g. if you rely heavily on cushioned or stability shoes) and it’s important to transition to barefoot shoes gradually.

Yes, many Vivobarefoot shoes are good for walking, especially if you’re seeking increased flexibility and sensory feedback. The Vivobarefoot Flex Natural can double up as both a casual walking shoe and training shoe for wearers that prefer barefoot freedom, however give your body time to adapt to them safely if you’re used to more cushioned walking shoes.

No, Vivobarefoot shoes don’t have arch support as they are designed to provide a more natural feel, engaging rather than supporting your muscles. This means the tiny muscles in your feet do more of the work - with Vivobarefoot stating, “Wearing Vivos for 6 months increases foot strength by 60%”, potentially helping your feet to adapt and become more resilient over time.
