Now that's some Spartan Ish right there. I think I would just make these myself though. Two decent peices of leather and some leather rope. I think that will be a little Project for me

Many tribes who make huaraches such as these use pieces of tire for the sole to give it more durability/protection than just a leather strip.

I've purchased a pair of vivos, had them for a couple of days, they're great. Training in them forces consistent execution of proper form. Also, my legs are getting a workout from wearing them during the day. Super light, wide toe box, and warm in cold weather.

Which model did you get? Neo or one of the Evos?

I've seen guys train in the Neo and Evo II/Evos, they love 'em but the more popular model seems to be Evo series. I personally went with the Aqua Lites for a more traditional shoe look.

How is the grip on the Aqua Lites? I've heard it is non-existant. Is it any good for parkour? Would it last through arm jumps/wall runs for very long?

I found that awhile back. was curious as to how a sandal would do while being obstacles like rails and such... seems like they could clip and hurt your foot. Like the sandal bend down whle your toes go over causing you to trip.

Still wanna make these though, seem really cool for running and everyday wear.

How do Aqua Lites manage in parkour? Is it very durable? The sole is only 3mm thick, and I've heard the grip is non-existant. I am starting to wonder, how do vivobarefoot shoes last a month?
The Evo I/II and Neo are 4mm thick... Please, somebody with vivobarefoot shoes used for parkour, give me a quick review of their durability and grip.

I haven't really had any grip issues. As to durability, I don't know, have only had them for a short time.
