The Vivobarefoot Motus Strength is the first barefoot shoe I’ve encountered that really enables me to excel in my more strength orientated exercising, and I include cross fit with that. The support and stability this trainer gives me is amazing. Oh, and for what it’s worth (and I think it’s worth a lot) – it looks pretty slick as well, and is definitely now one of my favourite lines from Vivo!

Vivobarefoot Motus Strength – Introduction
Launched in 2023, the Motus Strength is arguably the biggest barefoot shoe innovation we’ve seen from Vivobarefoot since the Promus Lite 3 hit the scene. Every aspect of the shoe from its cool visual design to its functional purpose and technical evolution is different class.
Heralded as the first of its kind, a zero drop strength training shoe, it’s being held up as the poster child of the Vivobarefoot performance range – and having worn (and trained) in them, I can understand why.
This barefoot shoe is for those of you whose workout regime covers CrossFit, throwing weights around the place, battle ropes – you get the picture! What is NOT is a trail running ….in fact any kind of running…. trainer or sneaker.
I’ll cover off why it’s so perfect and adequate for strength training in the functional review – but what also has to be recognised is the visual deliciousness of the footwear, It just looks next level in terms of the design. And to compliment how good it looks – it’s also available (at time of writing) in.4 different colourways.

Unboxing Vivobarefoot Motus Strength
We’ll come onto price further on in this review, but I have to say, one of the things I feel that Vivobarefoot are GREAT at is giving you that all round premium experience.
From the moment my new pair of burgundy Motus Strengths arrived, to taking them into the gym for my first workout (more on why I wear them to the gym below!), I just felt like I was being treated!! and it all began with the unboxing. You see Vivo take care when they send you their shoes, to ensure, whether you’re a seasoned barefoot pro, or this is your first foray into the barefoot, minimalist shoe movement, that you’re given all the knowledge you need – and the way they do this, whilst not revolutionary, shows conscious thinking.
No needless waste of paper or materials – no – everything you need to know is accessed via a QR code on the box – from here you can access video guides on the basics of barefoot wearing and running – and if you’re reading this and thinking of buying a pair (and do end up buying a pair) I recommend you follow that QR code

Vivobarefoot Motus Strength – Functional Wearing
Ok lets get onto the super power of the Motus Strength – this is the shoe that in my opinion has been missing from all the barefoot brands stables – this is THE barefoot shoe if you do cross fit or chuck weights around.
