The Vivobarefoot Motus Flex Nat is a low-profile barefoot trainer built for anyone wanting a genuinely minimalist ride without giving up on style. The grey knitted mesh upper combines a finer ribbed texture across the vamp with a coarser flat-knit around the sides and heel, finished with a honeycomb-outline graphic woven into the lateral forefoot in white thread. A cream-coloured overlay panel wraps the throat and eyestay area, adding a bit of structure to the lacing zone and a smart contrast against the grey knit.
Instead of fiddly laces and eyelets, this trainer uses thin round cords fed through fabric loops and gathered with a simple toggle cord-lock, so it's quick to get on and off while keeping a secure, sock-like fit. A cream pull-tab at the rear of the tongue and a matching grey knit tab at the heel make it even easier to pull on. Round the back, a semi-transparent moulded heel counter adds a touch of shape and support without interrupting the flexibility that barefoot footwear is all about, while the black textile lining keeps the interior soft against the foot.
Underneath sits a thin, flexible gum rubber outsole with a grey rubber wrap at the toe and midfoot, designed with a maze-like tread pattern and a cluster of small studs at the forefoot for grip, plus a subtle red logo moulded into the arch. With its wide, low-volume toe box, round toe shape and flat, minimal-drop sole, this is a shoe built to let the foot move as naturally as possible. It suits anyone easing into barefoot-style trainers for everyday wear, light training, or simply wanting a roomier, more natural fit than a conventional trainer offers.
