Vivobarefoot Gobi Mocc, Mens leather moccasin, with barefoot sole

These are incredibly comfortable and perfect for my job (business casual) in a cold, mountainous area. I haven't used them in the snow yet, but I'm sure they'll do fine! Look great with jeans and slacks.

Very comfortable, stylish and premium quality.

I wear Vivobarefoot and other barefoot brands so I know the different sizing information for barefoot shoes. These shoes were easily a whole size too big. The shoes were not new. They had been laced and walked in. There were rub marks on the leather and creese marks across the toes. They were in "like new" condition, but they were not new. The shoes are beautifully made with quality materials and the cost reflects that. Obviously though a shoe is only really great if it comes in the size you ordered, and if you ordered a new product you want it to come new.

These are great boots. The leather (yes it's real leather) is a nicely treated full grain that adds shine making them *almost* dressy and certainly office-appropriate, depending on your definition of "dressy". I wore them to a wedding and received compliments, but then I live in WA state, not Manhattan. Be that as it may, these are one of the nicer looking barefoot type shoes available. The fit is a tad bit larger/roomier (only slightly) than you'll find on the Gobi II (which I also own) which I quite like (honestly I love them both) and the leather is slightly thicker so they break-in a bit slower... however when I say break-in I'm only referring to the leather becoming even more flexible, creasing occurring etc.. Out of the box they are already infinitely comfortable as all Vivobarefoot shoes seem to be in my experience, no "break-in" is needed for you feet (unless this is your first pair of zero-drop, barefoot shoes).I now own a pair of Gobi II, these Gobi Mocc, and a pair of Scott II full-leather boot from Vivobarefoot. I just ordered a pair black leather Gobi II as well for my workplace (I often require black shoes). Vivobarefoot has quickly become my favorite - I resisted them for a number of years due to the higher price than other barefoot brands, but the quality, comfort and durability is worth it to me now. Gobi Mocc is a great boot!

Leather looked more like pleather or faux leather? Not the quality I was expecting...I returned them before wearing outside my house. I suppose, in time, they may have broken in, but I know a few other brands that make consistently high quality grain leather and these just looked cheap in comparison. They would be fine if they were in the cheap, knock-off brand price range ( Under fifty dollars), but not what you would expect from a top name brand costing more than one hundred dollars...

I've worn minimalist shoes in the past but this is my first Vivobarefoot shoe and I'm impressed. They're super comfortable and look pretty good too. I would definitely buy this brand again.
