Vivobarefoot Gobi Boot Mens – Obsidian

Description

Minimalist lace-up boot in Wild Hide leather with stitched soles, a wide toe box and zero drop for natural movement in everyday use. A 2.4mm flexible sole with lugs provides ground feel. Lined with chrome-free leather and laced with organic cotton. Weighs 511g in size 42.

• Stitched soles: The outsole is stitched on, not glued. The construction allows the boot to be taken apart at the end of its life so the materials can be reused or repaired through Vivobarefoot's Revivo programme.
• Wild Hide leather: The upper is made from leather from free-roaming cattle raised by small-scale farmers. The leather has natural scars and develops character over time. Water-repellent properties provide protection in light rain.
• Thin and flexible sole: A 2.4mm sole base with 1.3mm lugs provides contact with the ground and natural ground feel. The sole flexes with the foot's movement and promotes a natural gait.
• Cork and recycled PU insole: The insole combines cork with recycled PU. Cork has natural antibacterial properties and regulates moisture.
