The Vivobarefoot Gobi II Leather off-white women's trainers are designed for adults seeking a natural, barefoot feel in their everyday footwear. Their key benefit is promoting natural foot movement and sensory feedback, with a caveat that the zero-drop sole and minimalist design may require an adjustment period for those accustomed to cushioned shoes. These trainers feature a soft suede upper, cork footbed, and textile lining, constructed with a high percentage of natural materials and a 100% natural outsole, offering a classic sneaker silhouette with innovative barefoot technology.

Yes, the Vivobarefoot Gobi II trainers feature a zero-drop sole, meaning there is no heel-to-toe elevation, promoting a natural foot position.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always protect with a suede protector spray.
The Gobi II trainers come with removable insoles, which creates space. You may be able to fit slim orthotics, but this will alter the barefoot feel and ground connection.
The outsole is made from 100% natural rubber, developed in partnership with nfw, providing flexibility and durability.
The trainers have a standard fit but offer some adjustability through the lacing system. The wide toe box allows for natural toe splay.
While both are part of the Gobi II series and offer a barefoot experience, the 'Sneaker Premium' often implies a slightly more refined finish or material update, but the core barefoot principles remain consistent across the line.
The break-in period varies per individual. Some find them comfortable immediately, while others may need a week or two of short wear periods to adapt to the barefoot feel.
Gently brush with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Apply a suede protector spray periodically.
This is common when transitioning to barefoot shoes. Start by wearing them for short periods and gradually increase duration. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort, not too tight. Consider using the removable insoles initially if needed.
Remove insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are dry before wearing and consider using foot powder.
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Adjust the laces for a snug, comfortable fit. If desired, remove the insoles for a more minimalist feel and direct ground contact.
Compatibility: Suitable for adults seeking a barefoot footwear experience. The standard fit accommodates most foot shapes, and the lacing system allows for width adjustment. Pairs well with casual attire.
Care: For the suede upper, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and apply a suede protector spray to guard against moisture and stains. For the cork footbed, wipe with a damp cloth if needed, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet.
