Check out revivo for cheaper(ish) vivos that would have been landfill. Dunno much about European brands other than that

I would recommend Bohempia (made of Hemp), Groundies (beautiful), Zaqq (wide variety), Magical Shoes and Wildlings, of course. They are all European

Leguano is very comfy and super quality, but comes with a high price.

Groundies are comfy and look really cool - people don’t notice its barefood shoes and the price is reasonable.

Ballop are the most comfortable shoes I ever had, but for my taste they are not as beautiful as leguanos and groundies. Price is reasonable.

Look into Aylla for good quality leather shoes (buy once, cry once) and I also enjoy my Freet shoes for when I want/need sporty shoes.

For the Aylla shoes I would recommend investing in some shoe trees, because the leather will wrinkle without those because the shoes are so flexible.

And for non-european: Jim Green barefoot. Bit less flexible than the Aylla’s, but amazing quality at a very reasonable price. I don’t think you can find more durable barefoot style shoes.

If you don’t have a problem with second hand, I’d recommend to check out Vinted. If you live in Germany you can also check Kleinanzeigen.

I got several pairs of barefoot shoes in good condition there for relatively cheap.

I had shoes from Leguano, Wildling, Merrell (US) and vivobarefoot.

I like my Ahinsa shoes a lot, but they might be around the same price point as Vivo.

I make my own DIY huaraches like this:

extremely comfortable, you can make it with any old slipper lying around and some paracord, lasts for 6 months to a year, depending on the quality of the sandal base.

adjust it to exactly your size that fits perfectly and then you can sew the knots so that all the dimensions stay the same.

takes me maybe 5 minutes to make each pair, and then 5 minutes for the sewing of the knots so I never have to readjust them, costs nearly nothing.

Freet make durable barefoot shoes out of recycled materials for usually a pretty affordable price. They’re made in the UK.

I’ve seen some bad reviews on /r/barefootrunning, but I’ve had very good experiences with xero shoes.

My gf has leguano and is also happy with them.
