]]> VIVOBAREFOOT launched their ultimate off-road shoe, the TRAIL FREAK. Designed for the ultimate off-road pursuits, the TRAIL FREAK is an ultra-lightweight, breathable barefoot shoe that allows the foot to move as nature intended, providing structure and breathability without compromising on comfort or technique.

Worn by trail running star A J Calitz (2 x Red Bull LionHeart Winner, 2012 and 2013), the TRAIL FREAK has a naturally wide fore-sole design which allows toes to splay as nature intended, optimising sensory feedback allowing for a stronger gait and more efficient foot positioning.

VIVOBAREFOOT encourages you to visit a VIVOBAREFOOT training clinic and learn the skill of barefoot movement. More information at: vivobarefoot.com. Walk before you run.

Vivobarefoot Trail Freak

Vivobarefoot Trail Freak

We tested the Trail Freak

We put the shoe through it’s paces testing it for running, cycling, outdoor activities like climbing, woodland and general walking. The shoe was comfortable, supportive and great fun to wear. The only place it wasn’t so comfortable was a sandy beach as the sand got in through the breathable fabric. Perfect for pebbly or uneven surfaces as well as road running even in the wet! Trail Freak Mens & womens RRP £85

]]> Vivibarefoot trail shoes performed extremely well during the Adidas 24h. We experienced a storm that raged all night and this resulted in more mud than Tough Mudder, where we also tested them. Paths turned to rivers whilst running in the pitch black with only our head torch to guide us. Anyone that has run in blackness can appreciate that the most important thing is assurance of grip. Losing your vital sense of vision, the Vivobarefoot allows you to adjust your body to prevent slipping over. Wearing the vivobarefoot I could just plant my foot, confident that I would experience no multilateral movement due to the V Trek: Multi-directional ‘V-teeth. Barefoot running helps you to focus on the technique of running and encourages a more upright running technique.

Available for men and women in a variety of colours. www.vivobarefoot.com
