I decided to try these and they arrived last week. So far I like them, even a hike with the dog yesterday in the foothills was comfortable. However, I can tell I'm going to have to do a thick leather insole or something for rocks. I'm no stranger to zero drop and minimalist shoes, it has been a few years since I wore them consistently. But as rocky as it is here in some of the places I go, I can tell I'll need a little more protection.

A day in the Sonoran Desert with my Vivo Forest Tracker ESCs. The only blood spilled came from reaching into the bottom of my pack to search for my gloves and impaling my finger on a spine that went through the pack when I had set it down. No spines went through the soles of the Vivos.

The cholla and most cactus won’t puncture through. Get a thick enough mesquite thorn at the right angle and it makes it through.

Have not had that happen yet, but I can see it happening. Lots of time in mesquite over the winter. Just haven’t hit the right angle yet. Did have it happen once through the sole of a pair of Keens. Went right through into my arch.

Missed the Sonoran and jumping cholla. I kicked up a dry, dead joint and stuck it in my calf today. Love the dead ones because the spines break off in you and come out weeks to months later. But I also fondly remember the time when a ran a agave spine in my shin. Good times.
