Barefoot shoes - help!

In the last few years I've been wearing solely barefoot shoes and find them so unbelievably comfortable. I have boots for around the farm, trainers for general walking and a pair of slip ons as my every day casual shoe. This does me fine for everything I need, but my problem is they no longer make the slip on shoes I love so dearly, and I'm worried I'm going to wear them out and be left with no alternative.

They are Vivo Barefoot Opanka Slip (see photo) and I've asked Vivo if they'll ever stock them again and they say no.

So would anyone like the challenge of either finding me similar barefoot shoes (don't need to be the same colour) or helping me find a second hand pair in a size 3?!

The slip on shoes Vivo currently stock are way too wide for my feet and come up to high up the foot!

Are you wedded to Barefoot or would you try other brands? I find Toms incredibly comfortable, they have similar slip ons. They come up small though, I'm a 3 usually but 4 in Toms. Camper shoes also comfy but designs often odd, hard to get basic slip ons.

i don't know if these are the same or not but they are available in your size from the same brand x

Open to try other brands but preferably barefoot brands ideally.

Sleep I've seen those ones and think they may be what I end up getting if I can't find the original ones! Thank you

I just ran across these online. I don't know anything about the brand, but it might be worth a try. www.lukshoes.com/barefoot-moccasins/
