Crafted with a one-piece knitted sock upper and a thin and decoupled sole designed to create a heightened sensory experience, this lightweight model does a good job of molding to your feet with each step while also being primed for agility and flow through dynamic movements. The Motus Flex is accompanied by one of the brands’ best-selling footwear, the Motus Strength.

While the Motus Strength is optimized for high impact during intense workouts, the Motus Flex separates itself from its predecessor by being primed for natural movement enthusiasts, bodyweight enthusiasts and calisthenics practitioners.

The Motus Flex comes crafted in vegan materials, alongside a breathable mesh upper. The comfort box is checked with its active ortho-lite performance insole, with the shoe offering a barefoot feeling through its flexibility for calisthenics, primal movement, bodyweight training and more. The sneakers are also assisted by a laceless and convenient slip-on design, and a durable rubber outsole emphasized through its sensory capabilities, grip and traction.

Three different colorways accompany the Motus Flex: white space dye, obsidian and bright white. The asking price is 165 euros.

“The Motus Flex is optimized with freedom and flexibility, for super-natural movement. The Flex has our most flexible outsole and mimics how your feet move, allowing them to function properly by providing minimal interference. Crafted for the purest connection, the Motus Flex allows you to feel the sensation of every movement,” said Asher Clark, Vivobarefoot’s chief design officer and cofounder.
