Vivo snake boots would be next level!

They made a bite proof boot for a very limited time (Desert ESC). I've asked if they will bring it back, but no response.

@Hunt_Jefferson: Thanks - that's a steal considering the RRP is $370, and they Vivo only seem to do black now (which seems a bit silly for a jungle boot).

I'm really wanting to pull the trigger - but the laminated construction concerns me ... that plastic on the outside is just going to peel off given enough time ...

It's a steal at $370 if they'd just list retail price at $789.99

I just don't get these outrageous prices.

According to the official Vivobarefoot website and their FAQ/support pages:

• Shoes are currently produced in Portugal, Vietnam, and Ethiopia.
• Specific factory locations for each product are detailed in the "Materials and Transparency" section on their product pages (vivobarefoot.com).
• They have been transitioning main production lines from China to Vietnam.
• Certain lines, like the Addis and Ababa Vivo models (leather-based everyday footwear), are specifically made in Ethiopia in partnership with Pittards, using locally sourced materials and supporting community projects.
• Premium or artisan lines (e.g., some Handcut ranges) have historically been crafted in Portugal.

I think most people would say that $159 for a dedicated low-drop jungle boot is a good deal, but whatever you reckon ...
