The chillest dude in the universe

Top of the pile for reviews of barefoot shoes. Practical, relatable and real life examples of positives and negatives aspects in use. Great work. Much thanks from rural Australia 👍

I like seeing review done well by small honest channels. You say your experience and we learn knowing that you're not trying to sell us on anything to catch a quick buck. Cheers from Canada, and it looks like quite the lovely spot you have wherever you are.

Thanks dude, I have a pair of Lems Boulder boots, for over a year now. I wear them most of the time with ragg wool socks comfortable thru all seasons and all level of work and rucking. Im considering the Vivo primarily for a sturdier tread, im glad you mentioned the size difference in the two. at 63 and blown up too many times ive been doing barefoot boots for about 3 years it took me several months to develop the little foot muscles and my feet seem to have gone up almost a whole size.

Thanks for the review. I have been looking for a pair of barefoot boots to replace my Keens. This was a really good review and the facts that your boots are actually worn looking and you said what each was good for was very helpful. You have a new subscriber!

Wonderful video! I got my first pair of barefoot footwear a few months ago and it was the Lem's Boulder Summit, the newer and waterproof version of the Boulder with lugs for traction on the bottom. They are incredible and I'm looking forward to trying other barefoot shoes and boots. Your video was very helpful, informative, and honestly just pleasant and calming to watch. I would recommend the Summit as it has good traction, though you already have that covered.

Thanks for the review, nice to see someone review boots who actually wears them in the outdoors

After using vivobarefoot for over a year, I tried putting back on my wide Brooks shoes... Could not standing how narrow the Brooks was 😂

thanks for the comparison on what the different boots are good for!

You are absolutely correct about Vivobarefoot and colours. They make awesome shoes but they have no clue about colour. As for those Boulder Boots you can tell a shoe is no good if you rest it on the ground and the toe curls up off the ground. That is not a shape you want for your shoes because it's not the shape of your foot.

Well dang. I have the Xero Xcursion Fusion waterproof boots and am really happy with them, but after your reviews here the Tracker Forest and Lems Chelsea are on my list. I love the idea of slipping on chelsea boots instead of crocs for quick farm chores like bring hay to the sheep or grabbing some firewood.

Awesome review. I have a pair of Xero boots and they have fallen apart after light use over a year. Just bought some Vivobarefoot Forest II boots. I need more waterproof since I am in Maine. But I am sure wax occasionally will work.

If you like ‘slip ons’ try elastic laces or simply removing them from the boulder boot. I wore my boulder boots for years with elastic laces. I recently bought the waterproof leather version for slushy wet tasks and moved the elastic laces to them. I’ve been wearing the original boulders with no laces for a few months now and actually like them a lot for simple daily walking around.

I like this guy. He seems to be an old soul. I just bought a pair of Lems Boulder Boots so will be interested in how they work for me. I have been wearing Red Wing Irish Setters for the last 65 years.

Thank you, my friend, I will purchase three pairs of boots based on your video. Cheers hope to see more videos

What a nice overview! Thanks!

Nice review. I’ve not tried Lems but have several pairs of Vivobarefoot and the Trackers are my go to boot. Keep them treated with wax / boot polish and they remain waterproof 😊

My man looks like he’s truly living the dream life. 👍🏾👍🏾 Real talk I’m a men’s size 12 in every shoe but Lems. I’m a 12.5 in Lems. At least in the Primal Zen. I previously ordered the Boulder Boot Grip and the Primal Zen in a men’s 12 and both were too small so I reordered the Zens in 12.5. They fit perfectly with socks on or off. Now I will take a chance on the Boulder Boot Grips in a 12.5. The water proofing is very good. The traction is awesome. I just want to how they feel with thick winter socks on.

Great job Peter such an incredible video.

I love the music and listening to your review. Thank you.

Thank you for making this! I look forward to your future videos

Well Peter Barley, that was just a joy

Great video and shoes collection. Now considering the lems chelsea. I've owned their water proof boulder and Outlander boots. Both great.

Wha??? You seem so chill, carefree and fun. Makes me want to run with you through the woods. 😀

Very good job Learned alot Pete thank you

Thanks for your info. Great review of these shoes. I like the music also, very nice.

Great comparison thank you!!

Lem's summit they the best, especially the leather one.

super quality review thanks for putting that out there

I can recomment saguaro shoes, they have some good ones too.

very insightful information! I do lanscaping work and been looking for a pair that will hold up to my needs. I have also been looking at the new Bearfoot Bruins, heard great things of quality with them.

My friend! I recommend trying Realfoot shoes (Czech shoe company). As well as Belenka. And of course Oregon's own SoftStar Primal shoes.

Vivobarefoot Primus trail ii is the best pair of shoes Ive own

thank you!

Would love to hear your take on the Bearfoot Bruin someday if you ever look to pick up a new pair. I've been debating between a Bruin and a Lem's Waterproof Boulder Boot.

NIce video brotha! Im gonna get the Lems Chelsea's now!

I have the vivo trackers, but now thinking between Lems Grip and the DuckFeet Chelsea’s. Really torn between the two 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ayeeeee! Way to be looking out for ma Dogs Bro! 👣

Super helpful review .. thanks

My Tracker 2 FG went back to the shop after my first walk. The sole started to delaminate after a 6 km. walk ( no issue for You, but for me!). I have never spent so much money on such a heap of sh!t ever before. Thanks Vivobarefoot! Would not touch that cr@p with a barge pole.

So helpful! Thank you

I would so much love to buy lems but they are very hard to get in europe, then they have this somewhat unclear size description.

Great review thank you sir

I've been looking for a summer foot shaped boot myself, but it has to have a bit of traction as I work on an oily, metal scrap ridden shop floor environment. My feet are extra wide and high volume, so I'm curious how the other chelsea boots you mentioned would be, seeing as they're easy on and off. Thanks for sharing your barefoot experience, I appreciate all the research I can find as my pennies are priceless and having to ship back and forth for sizing as you mentioned is a lot of the battle. Measure twice..........

I've been looking for a barefoot waterproof boot that was durable and less that 200 dollars. How is the Chelsea's waterproofing holding up? I came here for this boot. Thanks.

Thank you!

well done, thanks

Thanks for this review !

What do you farm?

Reminds you of chemicals lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Do you like the shoes for jumping as well as walking?

Which boot has the best grip in the wet ?

checkout the outlander, its a great comparison to the tracker 2 FG

this dudes my spirt animal

Vivobarefoot shoes are too narrow for my foot. Would be nice if some of these barefoot shoemakers would offer a wider forefoot option.

5 years is a good amount of use. My merrel barefoot shoes break much sooner. Maybe vivo next.

Love my Vivo's but won't go back to Lems. Fell apart of me in less than a week of use and their customer service is terrible.

Did the tracker forest esc irritate your ankle? Thanks

there's more plants colored like this green inside the shoe,than chemicals. unless in a cartoon :D

Not sure about this idea. What about arch support?. Always b en a barefoot guy, not due to any philosophy but because everyone where I grew up was barefoot and didn’t know it was unusual until I left NZ (kiwi kids ey) . When I turned 40 started having major ankle issues so much so I had to stop running any distance. After a couple X-rays that showed nothing, a few months ago a pragmatic GP said to get footwear with good arch support. Now at 50 I’m running again, not around hobbling at night. Took awhile to get in the habit of putting on my burks or shoes when I left the house

Are you the same size in all of these? If not what are the sizes of each?

I returned the Chelsea's because they were making me roll inward. Was that your experience in the beginning or did I have a dud pair?

The tracker 2 fg are narrower than the tracker forest esc? Thats a shame . I have the forest esc but was looking at the other ones for the waterproofness

Do the Tracker ESC get highly water-resistant or even waterproof after applying wax/fat?

👏🔥

So much for the "poorman"...guess I'll just make some moccasins.

This link gets you %15 off Vivo's hope is helps vivobarefoot.mention-me.com/me/referee/registerko/121836104/494401559/er/58592a73c4275944b2ab2c69636f0137874c97fd/fe/cw?epr=1

Yo, your voice puts me to sleep. Thanks!

These are all made with plenty o’ chemicals…

Mythomaniac or big liar, never Vivobarefoot last 5 years when you see that after 3 months the sole is already cracking everywhere!

Your foot needs an arch but okay lol bet that your shoes aren’t hand made with real leather….rethink your shoes maybe get Nicks or Jk boots
