They look like classic leather boots. Until you put them on.
The Vivobarefoot Gobi Boot II Men's keeps that timeless style that goes with everything, but with a difference your feet will notice from the very first step: room for your toes, flexibility and the freedom to walk naturally.
Made from Wild Hide leather that develops character with wear. Perfect for work, exploring the city and enjoying barefoot freedom without compromising on style.
Love the look of traditional leather boots but hate having your toes squeezed or your movements restricted?
The Vivobarefoot Gobi Boot II Men's combines the elegance of classic lace-up boots with all the benefits of barefoot footwear. A timeless design that respects the natural shape of your feet and lets you walk freely without compromising on style.
These are the kind of boots that go with practically everything. Wear them with jeans for a casual look, pair them with chinos for work or take them on your daily walks around the city.
And the most interesting part is what you can't see. Unlike conventional boots, the Gobi Boot II doesn't have a narrow toe box that squeezes your toes or a raised heel that changes your foot's natural position.
Its anatomical shape provides room for your toes to spread, while the flexible construction allows your feet to move naturally with every step, without the restrictions of a rigid boot.
On the outside, elegant leather boots. On the inside, all the freedom of barefoot walking.
One of the standout features of the Vivobarefoot Gobi Boot II is its construction from natural Wild Hide leather, a durable bovine leather that gradually softens and adapts to the shape of your feet with wear.
This material not only gives the boots their classic appearance but also allows them to develop their own character over time. The leather adapts to movement, develops a more individual appearance and retains the natural finish that makes leather footwear so special.
The design features waxed cotton laces and hiking-inspired metal eyelets. Simple details that add character and allow you to adjust the fit to your preferences.
The interior is made from bovine leather and doesn't include the thermal insulation found in versions specifically designed for winter. This keeps the construction simple and minimalist, making these boots ideal for anyone looking for versatile everyday leather footwear.
They also feature a 3 mm insole with a natural cork surface and a recycled polyurethane base. The cork provides a pleasant surface underfoot.
A combination of materials designed to deliver the look, feel and durability of leather boots while staying true to Vivobarefoot's barefoot philosophy.
The Gobi Boot II is designed to accompany you through your everyday activities. From heading to work to going for a walk or spending an afternoon exploring the city.
Its flexible rubber Gobi outsole features a distinctive hexagonal tread pattern developed for urban surfaces. The minimalist design allows you to feel the ground beneath your feet and maintain a natural stride, without the disconnected feeling of many conventional boots.
What's more, the zero-drop construction keeps your heel and forefoot at the same height, respecting the foot's natural position. The flexible sole allows your foot to bend and move as you walk, rather than being restricted by a rigid structure.
This combination of roominess, flexibility and ground feel makes the Gobi Boot II particularly appealing to those who already wear barefoot shoes and want a more elegant option for everyday use.
They can also be part of your transition to minimalist footwear. However, if you're used to conventional shoes with plenty of cushioning or raised heels, a gradual adjustment is recommended.
Keep in mind that these are urban boots, not technical hiking boots or waterproof footwear. Their main strength lies in offering a natural, flexible and versatile alternative to traditional leather boots.
Because you shouldn't have to sacrifice your style to let your feet move the way they need to.
To find your size, we recommend measuring your foot and clicking the "Check your size here" link below the size selector.
Compare your foot length with the measurements in our size chart, and remember to leave a little extra room in front of your toes so they can move freely as you walk.
And if you don't get it right the first time, don't worry. Size exchanges are simple, quick and free if you've added our €1.99 exchange insurance (valid for mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands).

Materials: natural leather requires proper cleaning and care to maintain its appearance and flexibility. First, remove dust with a soft brush and clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry, away from direct heat sources and prolonged sun exposure. Do not machine wash.
Care products: to keep the leather in good condition, use cleaning and protection products specifically designed for leather footwear. You can find different options in our barefoot footwear care and maintenance products section.
