Start with your regular size, regardless of the brand. If you are unsure what your size is, please check our guide below. If you are used to wearing regular shoes, Vivobarefoot may feel more spacious when you first start wearing them.

FEET COME IN DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES
Millions of years of evolution have done an amazing job. The human foot is perfectly designed for standing, walking, and running.
Remarkably, feet come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some have been compromised by a lifetime in conventional shoes, some naturally wider and some thinner and longer. We’re confident you’ll find a pair of Vivos to suit you.

FITTING
Measuring your feet will help tell us what your recommended fit is. However, some like a shorter, snug fit while others prefer a longer, more spacious fit. This is where personal choice comes in.
It’s also important to note there will be slight variations in size from one style to another. Please check the product page to check if a style runs large, small or true to size.
