My new year’s resolution every year, like many of us, is to get fit and healthy. Before having my son, I was really into running - not marathons, but a few miles three times a week kept me feeling fit. Plus, running is free, and there’s nothing like the rush of sprinting outdoors. Now, I’ve decided it’s time to get back into it.
The only real essential for running is a good pair of shoes. There’s nothing worse than heading out for a run, only to end up with sore feet - or worse, blisters - within minutes. That’s why I decided to try the Vivo Barefoot Running Shoes (£170). With so many people raving about them, I couldn’t resist seeing if they lived up to the hype.
What are the VivoBarefoot Motus Strength Womens Running Shoes?
The Motus Strength Running Trainer is the first ever zero-drop barefoot strength-training footwear. It’s made for moving naturally during high-impact workouts, with added protection and stability that doesn’t sacrifice barefoot feel.
How do the Barefoot Running Shoes look and feel?
The first thing that stood out to me was how lightweight and flexible these shoes are. I’m used to wearing more traditional running trainers, so I was a little bit worried about the barely there look. Could these really be comfy or would it literally feel like running with no shoes on at all?
Surprisingly, the Motus Strength Shoes are actually really comfortable to wear and look good too. I’m still fairly new to the world of minimalist running shoes, but the running shoes are of really high-quality.
Are the Barefoot running shoes worth buying?
Overall, I’m really happy with the Vivo Barefoot Motus Strength Running Shoes. Whilst I understand the price might be a bit too much for some people, I believe they are worth the investment. I’m not saying by wearing these trainers you will have the motivation to run a marathon or become faster than Usain Bolt but the comfort has definitely encouraged me to get out more.
