More and more barefootworkout shoesare walking their way onto the gym floor and one brand you’re guaranteed to see is Vivobarefoot. Today (23rd May) the British brand has unveiled its latest workout shoe – the Motus Flex – which is also its most flexible shoe to date.
The Motus Flex is the second shoe in Vivobarefoot’s Motus collection, which is their pinnacle performance range designed for workouts. TheMotus Strength(which was released last year) was the first shoe in this collection, created specifically for high-impact, strength workouts. Whereas, Vivobarefoot says the Motus Flex is for “natural movement enthusiasts, bodyweight enthusiasts, and those who practice calisthenics”.

The Flex’s outsole is super thin, but it isn’t completely flat. As you can see from the image above, it’s been divided into sections (such as the heel, toes, and midfoot), to further enhance its flexibility. As with all Vivo shoes, the Flex also has a wide toe box to fit the natural shape of the foot, a knitted upper, and is lightweight (280g). Vivobarefoot says these features prime the Flex for “agility and flow through dynamic movement”.
There’s also a heel counter for heel protection during bodyweight and bar exercises, and an integrated lace loop locking system. The Flex is slightly cheaper than the Motus Strength and retails at £165/$190 (US), and is available in three colourways – white space dye, bright white and white space dye.
