Vivobarefoot Motus Strength shoe in a sentence: An excellent barefoot training shoe that fulfils all your fitness needs, whether that be weightlifting, CrossFit or general functional fitness.
I’ll just go ahead and say it, these are my new best workout shoes. When I first saw them at the Vivobarefoot shoe launch, I liked the look of them. Then, when I tried them on I kind of loved them a little bit. Having done weightlifting for years I could immediately see, and feel, the benefits of these shoes for my squats and deadlifts (being closer to the ground, having great grip and a wide toe box). But, recently, I’d started incorporating high intensity functional movements into my training – like jumping lunges and sled pushes – and was curious as to whether they’d be as comfortable, and practical, as my beloved Nike Metcon 9s. They are, if not better.
