VIVOBAREFOOT - RA II WH - Review

INTRO

This is my second pair of VIVOBAREFOOT office shoes, my first pair were Porto Rocker and I was very disappointed to have to send them back.

After 2 weeks back in a pair of conventional office shoes, I couldn't take it anymore, I had felt the ground and it felt good.

However, once bitten, twice shy! I didn't want to waste my money on a pair of shoes that would fall apart, so I opted for the RA II WH, which cost less than the Rocker, I almost typed "cheaper than the Rocker" but that would be unfair..........

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Oh wow! I didn't expect these shoes to be as good as the Porto Rocker, maybe even better! The materials used and the levels of craftsmanship are more than I could have hoped for. The shoe

FEATURES

“Ra is a barefoot Oxford lace up shoe, built for easy transition from work to play. Ra is light, flexible and breathable, with a thin sole. It’s made from Wild Hide leather and has a thermal insole so that your feet are protected from the elements.”

“PRO5

Patented, ultra-thin, puncture resistant layer. 5x more puncture resistant than a standard sole of the same thickness.”

“Pittards Wild Hide

African leather tanned by Pittards®, from the hides of free roaming cows; animals that have lived a little and made love under the sun.”

“Cork Insole

3mm of recycled foam with a natural cork deck. Take it out to feel the ground. Leave it in for a little extra warmth.”

FINAL THOUGHTS

Seven years on!

Great, love them and they are still going strong. I don’t wear them as often as I used to, but thats mostly because I work from home now.

Where to buy?

VIVOBAREFOOT are available from most of the usual online retailers, but personally, I think you are better off cutting out the middle man and going straight to VIVOBAREFOOT With purchases from the site you can earn Tribe Points, which go towards future discounts.

Proof that comfort and barefoot freedom does not sacrifice style. Dress it up for your meeting, dress it down for drinks, RA is your ultimate workweek companion.
