What are the best travel shoes? Vivobarefoot Gobi 2 Review (Gobi II)





What are the best travel shoes for men? Here, we take a look at the minimalist Gobi 2 (Gobi II) from Vivobarefoot. Get them here: http://amzn.to/2lYUf6c (Women’s Gobi 2 also available: http://amzn.to/2mgYZab)



These classic desert boots look and feel great. They’re a minimalist style shoe, so you’ll want to get used to a thinner sole if you’ve never worn minimal shoes before. The Gobi II are a versatile pair of shoes—durable enough to wear on the trail, and they look good enough to wear to a semi-formal event. We’ve tested these for a year and the boots have been very durable, showing only normal wear and tear.
