Well constructed, rugged, all leather boot. As it's my first barefoot boot, I'm actively wearing it daily and getting my feet used to no cushion experience. My favourite part of the boot is the rugged knobby sole that grips amazingly well on both hard and soft surfaces alike. As soon as I put the boot on it fit like a glove due to my wide forefoot, this boot accommodates very well. It's very comfortable all day but when I get home, my feet are a little sore but I think it's from building new muscles in my feet. I believe this model is the best quality of all products Vivobarefoot offers and believe they will last years. From a cost benefit analysis, it's pricey but from my standpoint, you get what you pay for. With regular care and maintenance (cleaning and leather treatment) it should last years and be cost effective.
