Care
Cleaning
Brush off mud and clean with a damp cloth
Drying
Remove insole and dry at room tempreture. Keep out of direct sunlight and avoid putting on a radiator.
Aftercare
LIQUIPROOF PREMIUM PROTECTOR. With wear, your shoes may loose some water resistent quality that is applied to the textile of the shoes. This product can be used to replenish the water repellent qualities. We recommend using Renapur Leather Balsam to nourish the leather, restore the colour and finish and help prevent the leather from drying out and cracking. It's ideal to treat new footwear as it helps relax the new leather and make your footwear waterproof.
Repair Options
Laces and insoles can be replaced.
End of life
The Revivo Take Back program is our initiative to extend the lifetime of our shoes and keep them out of landfill. Customers in the UK, US and Europe can send us your worn Vivos for free. Sorry global Barefooters, we’re working on expanding free shipping for our Take Back program to more regions, and eventually, make this available worldwide.

PRIMUS OUTSOLE
The Primus Outsole is a light and thin 2mm performance outsole that's designed to put as little as possible between your feet and the ground. The side wall profile is as low as it can be, giving it a slightly lower profile towards the heel, and the sole subtly overlaps the toe — offering enough protection for urban environments, without compromising natural movement. Strong geometric shapes lead to strong feet, so the tread pattern uses our signature hexagonal design to help multidirectional flexibility and grip.
