Meet the Vivobarefoot Motus Strength II Women’s Barefoot Shoes—the balance of rugged training durability and barefoot sensitivity you’ve been seeking. Unlock the paradox: strong enough for your hardest sessions, sensory enough to feel every move.

Why Motus Strength II stands apart

Born from barefoot principles, these shoes protect you during high‑impact work while preserving the ground feel that powers natural movement. The Motus Strength outsole is engineered for traction and stability across the workout spectrum—from rope climbs and sled pushes to heavy lifts and fast intervals. You get a secure base with the flexibility to load and recoil, so your form stays clean as you push past plateaus.

Key features that matter when you train

• Motus Strength outsole: a 2 mm base with 1.5 mm lugs delivers reliable grip on dynamic movements. High midfoot sidewalls support lateral shifts and quick direction changes, keeping you balanced during cross‑training drills.
• Ortholite Performance Insole: 98% recycled polyurethane foam reduces waste while delivering cushioned comfort under the foot for shorter recovery between sets and longer sessions alike.
• Breathable and lightweight: a mesh framework that keeps the foot cool when you’re grinding through intervals, without slowing you down.
• Vegan materials with transparency: main components are synthetic, aligning with vegan goals. While some small components’ production details (adhesives, dyes) aren’t fully disclosed yet, the brand is committed to openness and ongoing improvement.
• Featherweight for a barefoot feel: at 266 g per shoe (based on a single shoe in EU 38 / UK 5 / US 7), you’ll notice agility without sacrificing protection during tough sessions.
• Built for endurance training: ready for rope climbs, sled pushes, barbell lifts, kettlebell circuits, and explosive intervals—without losing the sensation of being connected to the ground.

Designed for real training scenarios

If you’re chasing a pair that can handle the grit of mixed‑fitness sessions while preserving the reflexive foot strength that barefoot training builds, Motus Strength II delivers. The shoe’s connection to the ground supports longer, more efficient workouts and helps you develop balance, posture, and proprioception—your body learning to move with precision under load.

Fit, care, and durability tips

• Size and fit: Vivo fits true to size. If you’re between sizes, consider your usual barefoot or minimalist footwear preference—there’s minimal drop and a foot‑shaped toe box that encourages natural splay.
• Care: brush off mud and wipe with a dry cloth. To dry, remove the insole and air‑dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Durability: the Motus Strength outsole is designed to withstand abrasion during heavy sessions, while maintaining a low profile that preserves barefoot feel.

Who should consider Motus Strength II?

Athletes seeking a gym‑to‑track option that maintains barefoot fundamentals will value the Motus Strength II for its ground‑up design. It’s ideal for anyone incorporating rope climbs, sled pushes, kettlebell work, Olympic lifts, and sprint–strength intervals into a training week—and who wants their footwear to support natural foot strength over time.
