Vivobarefoot Men's Ultra Running Shoe,Red,42 EU/9-9.5 M US Review

I don't live in an amazing place like Portland, where running is as much a part of life as McDonald's is to a seven year old. I live in Texas, and to be more specific West Texas. There are no beautiful, rolling hills with wonderful, cushy trails on which to patter your feet...there is asphalt. Asphalt and the twist and turns of residential neighbourhoods with barking dogs and cars driven by old ladies that can't help but steer their Cadillacs in your direction because their hands follow their eyes.

I, like many of you , wanted to see what this "barefoot revaluation" was all about, so I did my research and made the "transition." I have to say, I'm now a believer. Also, like many of you, I own five or six pairs of minimalist shoes because we are all looking for that Holy Grail. I had heard of this unusual shoe company that I could never remember their name, and when I did, felt kind of stupid saying it because it was not short and catchy and didn't rhyme with bikey or basic. It was quite by chance that I ended up with a pair of Vivobarefoot Ultras anyway. I had read all the great reviews about the Evos, but they were too damn expensive and heavy. Amazon had a pair of Ultras for $50 or so, so that was my opportunity to try out this company at a more affordable price. I got the shoes in, and long story short, grew to LOVE them for the types of roads that I run on. Many Ultra wearers don't use the insert, I do. Many complain about the sizing issue, if you're going to wear the insert, size up, if not, stick to your normal size. Some complain about the squishiness of the shoes as well. Maybe they're too soft for Portland runners, but after 10+ miles on asphalt, a little squishy ain't bad.

Now the bad news. According to Vivobarefoot, these shoes are not really designed as a pure running shoe, therefore the sole is not as durable as the famous Evo sole. Well, at a third of the price of Evos, and with good technique (that red "V" on the bottom of the sole is there for a reason), I've been able to get 300 miles out of my Ultras, so far. I think I'll get a couple of hundred more. This makes them almost the perfect asphalt shoe, for me. If the design team would put just a bit of rubber across the ball of the foot, I think I could almost double that. That's why they are ALMOST the perfect asphalt shoe; durability of the sole is a bit lower than ideal, but then again, they are not designed for what I use them for exactly.

If you are like me, have transitioned to minimalist shoes, and run mainly on asphalt, the Ultras may fit the bill for you as well. If not, then they are worth it just to wear and try to explain to folks exactly what those things are that you have on your feet.
