Our Size Guide is here to help! Vivobarefoot fit 'big' deliberately – we call this ‘the rule of thumb’. Your toes need wiggle room! This is especially important for running. If you can fit your thumb in-between the end of your toe and the front of the shoe, you’ve more than likely found your ideal size.
**After some time with Vivobarefoot shoes, your shoe size may need to increase, as your toes splay out more naturally.**
