Vivobarefoot generally recommends measuring your foot and comparing it to their sizing chart. For these shoes, a snug fit is often preferred to maximize the benefits of the sock-like construction and ground feel.
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash with mild soap and water, and air dry.

Ensure the sock-like upper is pulled up fully and fits snugly around the ankle. Consider wearing gaiters for added protection in very dusty or loose conditions.
Try adjusting the lacing (if applicable) or ensure your socks are smooth and do not bunch up. A short break-in period may be needed for the collar to adapt to your foot shape.
While the FG sole offers good grip, extremely wet or muddy conditions may reduce traction. Clean the sole after use to maintain optimal performance. For very slick conditions, consider alternative footwear if extreme grip is paramount.
This is normal for a shoe focused on flexibility and ground feel. If wear seems excessive, ensure you are using them on appropriate terrains and not on abrasive surfaces like asphalt for prolonged periods.
