Vivobarefoot Women's Hybrid Golf Shoe

I have played several rounds with this shoe (9 and 18 holes, walking the 9), and they perform OK...not the best golf shoe I've worn, but good enough. I have no foot issues, and a high arch that doesn't require a lot of support (there is very little support in this shoe). But it doesn't live up to the hype about it. When I first put my new Vivobarefoot hybrid to play a round, I was immediately, and surprisingly, struck by how they feel exactly like the Keds sneakers my mom used to buy for my sister and me every summer. I hadn't thought about Keds in 50 years! That's exactly how they feel...like playing golf in Keds (with a little more traction form the lugs). Believe me, you cab get the same "barefoot" feeling by playing a round in a pair of Keds. While I was fortunate enough to have only paid $51 for these shoes, that was still way too much for what I was expecting...but they are OK, so I'll keep them and wear them. But if you are thinking of paying $170 for these little guys, I'd spend that money on a pair of real golf shoes like Footjoy or Callaways.

I love the Vivobarefoot brand. I own a pair of their ballet flats and have virtually worn them everyday for two years straight. They are not kidding about the impenetrable sole. Seriously. That being said, they are great for kids.I measure as a size 7 but wear a 7.5/8 in this brand. I bought these for my son (yes, I am fully aware that these are 'womens' golf shoes, but there is nothing remotely feminine about them, and anyway you can buy your kid whatever you want).He's a 6.5 in men's and it is impossible to find a good shoe in that size. I also know he'll probably only be in this size for a second, he's 12. I care about my kids feet and like to provide good shoes for them. And at this price, heck yes.These shoes have great traction. Surprisingly, they have a bit of an arch to them. (Usually barefoot style shoes do not, and it amuses me when people complain about this). They are a little stiffer than I've experienced with this brand, but nothing that would require a 'break in' period.These shoes fit me perfectly but were too small for him. We will return them for the next full size up. I think they would make a great all-purpose shoe for an active kid or adult; golfing not required. ;)

Although the look reminds me of an elf shoe, the Vivobarefoot is extremely comfortable and amazingly light weight. After walking 18 holes, my feet are not at all tired and without pain. For someone who has not before worn a barefoot shoe, the flat sole and interaction with the earth below is a new feel that takes a little getting used to, but once initiated one will never go back to the conventional.

The jury is still out on them. I will not know until I actually try to walk the course. I like the looks and the toe box is roomy, however the tab in the back at the ankle may prove to be a problem.. hopefully not. They are a bit snug and I usually wear a true US 9 - E 40. They may stretch.... only time will tell. They arrived on time as expected. I really hope I like these. I will update post once I have had a chance to wear them.

If you prefer a natural, low profile athletic shoe such as Vibram this shoe is EPIC!!! I've been looking for the perfect golf shoe for years and this is it. Plan to test them at a tournament in a couple of days. So happy. Best suited for NEUTRAL feet.

I walk a lot of rounds and these held up a whole season. Very comfortable. Have other shoes for wet sloppy conditions, but these are great for normal conditions.

I liked the way they looked - different. Played my 1st round with them and although they felt like I was barefoot - I felt as if there was enough support, all which are good qualities. Plus, could not beat the $$$!

I really wanted to like these and was looking forward to branching out into the barefoot shoe life but alas, it isn't to be with these. As another review said, they roll to the instep. I realise the idea is not to have an arch support. But these seem to encourage pronation somehow, especially on my right foot which has a bunion. Also the toebox was not as wide as I was hoping. I was planning to take these on a trip on which I'll be doing a lot of walking. I tried them out but I can foresee the pronation and the angle of the side of the toebox (which pushes my big toe inwards) putting pressure on the bunion. I ordered a half size up but they were not as roomy as I might have expected and the right foot, on which I wear a bunion guard, was tight. Although I paid a very cheap price on Amazon, I was also disappointed to find that they weren't leather but synthetic. According to the sticker on the soles the upper is fabric and synthetic/upper, no leather symbol. I'm not altogether opposed to "vegan" shoes but I want to know what I'm buying. I'm not sure if this fit and experience is typical of Vivobarefoot. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of a store where I can see the shoes and try them on. I'm now unsure where to go from here, but I am returning these. Also in case you are confused, "Black/Black" is indeed the black & white shoes, but they look navy inside my house.

They're a little thick and stiff in the sole for my liking, and especially compared with other VB footwear that I have purchased. The laces are horrible, so those got changed. But the fit is good. For me they work better as a cycling shoe - good grip and instant transfer of power to pedal - rather than a walking shoe.

These shoes are what I wanted. They are completely feeling like barefoot during playing golf. 6 is just my size. Other brand shoes are usually a bit loth to my feet but these are perfect to me! I ordered another ones again. They are recommendable to everyone. But I do not pay for the full amount of the original price which is almost same as eccho's.

Especially if you have wide feet. Worn them on the golf course numberous times now and no feet issues. Love them.Worn them once in the wet and freet stayed dry. Not sure how they will perform loing term but only expected to ast one season as per standard golf shoes.

I am a size 6 and the it is slightly on the small side. I would have preferred another colour but this colour was great value at around £35. They do feel very flat as there is no heel. Beware they are NOT waterproof.

Good quality shoe but too small and no larger size sadly.

Great value when purchased in the sale. Very comfy

very comfortable

good looking but very narrow

Very comfortable wish I hadn't lost them. Would buy them again at the reduced price.

Not my style

Good fit for wide feet. Very good value at price paid

Quick delivery, items of good quality and fit well. Have worn item only once for golf and the item was comfortable.

Most comfortable Golf Shoes I have ever worn....almost tempted to wear them all the time!

Absolutely over the moon with these shoes. The fit is perfect, and they are so comfortable. They look good too.

Comfortable and provide good grip on golf course. Lightweight. Spot on.
