The Motus Flex has been designed with minimal structure to help enhance your natural movement, allowing your feet to function with minimal interference.

What’s new? The Motus Flex introduces Vivobarefoot’s most flexible outsole yet. With a lightweight design of just 280g and a super-flexible sole, the Motus Flex is primed for agility and fluidity through dynamic movements.

Key features:

• One-piece knitted sock upper: Provides a seamless, comfortable fit
• Thin, decoupled sole: Enhances sensory feedback and natural movement
• Super flexible outsole: Mimics natural foot movement for optimal function

Whether you’re hitting high-impact workouts, heading to a Pilates or yoga class, or simply enjoying a stroll through the city, the Motus Flex is designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine.

It’s designed to allow your feet to function with minimal interference.

The science: A 2021 study on the impact of minimal footwear found that wearing VIVOBAREFOOT shoes for six months increased foot strength by an average of 57.4%, even during non-intensive daily activities.

What they say: Asher Clark, Vivobarefoot’s chief design officer and co-founder, says, “The Motus Flex is optimized for freedom and flexibility, mimicking how your feet move to provide minimal interference. It allows you to feel the sensation of every movement, offering the purest connection to your environment.”
