If you'll recall a few weeks back TheClymb, which is a flash sale/group buying membership-only site, featured a sale on VIVO BAREFOOTS where you could get Evos, Neos, Jazz, Venus, and more on sale at up to 50% off (or more). It was a sweet deal on "the original" barefoot shoes (VIVO BAREFOOTS — and yes, all caps is apparently how you're supposed to type their name — shout it!).
Well, today, another flash sales site — LeftLane Sports — has a slew of VIVOs on sale — over 60% in some cases. Getting your deal on with LeftLane is the same as with TheClymb: you have to get invited by a member. Fortunately, membership is free and here's my invitation to you: join LeftLane Sports and hook up some VIVO BAREFOOTS at a price is shockingly reasonable. Once you're a member, you'll get an email from time to time about deals they've got going on (like the VIVO sale). You can unsubscribe at any time.
And by "shockingly reasonable," I'm talking about VIVO Oaks for $55 to $60 (normally they are $150!!) or Evos for $55 (normally $160!). They've got offerings for both women and men, but as this is a "flash sale," inventory won't last long and sizes can be limited. Go here (assuming you're already a member) to see all the VIVO BAREFOOTS on sale today (note: they're all in the mega collage above). Note: for sizing information, head straight over to vivobarefoot.com (sizing can vary by model).
Happy Friday!

Not to be cynical, but I've yet to click on one of these where they offered anything but size 15's and the like. That's been my beef with the clymb thus far. 
I had been considering picking up a pair of Evos, but I was going to wait until Spring (when the Merrell Road Glove came out) and then chose between the Evos, Vibram Bikalas, or the Road Gloves. But this deal was too good to pass up.
Totally reasonable to be cynical Mike -- I actually checked before posting this to make sure they had a decent stock across most sizes and they *did* -- did being the operative term as now they definitely don't. In fact, I waited too long so I missed my opportunity to get another pair of Oaks. 
Thanks for the tip! I had completely banned the idea of getting VIVOBAREFOOT Evo II shoes because of the price, I just got a pair in my size for 68$ shipping to Canada included! 
Just got a pair of Neo for 57.90! it just sucks that they wont ship till 10-21.. but still a great deal! im a fivefingersfreak so this will be my first pair of barefoot shoes other than V5fs, so we'll see how it goes.. i just hope that a size 41 was the right choice.. i wear a 40 in V5f's but i measured my foot for the VIVOS and it said 41-42, so i hope i dont have to ship them back since thats quite annoying. i had to ship back a pair of Flows, because my achilles felt like hell the second i put them on (which sucks cause i want them sooo bad), but i lost 8 bucks on that deal cause i had to pay for the return shipping to travelcountry... oh well, maybe this will go better!!! fingers crossed! 
Cerebrlasassn, in my case I wear a size 42 men in fivefingers for all models except the Flow and Classic Smartwool, in which I wear a 43. In my experience with VIVOBAREFOOT shoes, I wear a 42 in the Neo Airmesh, a 43 in the Ultra (or 42 without the sock liner), and a 43 in the Aqua. I ordered a size 42 in the Evo thinking they may size the same as the Neo, but since their sizing seems to be so erratic I'm not getting my hopes up.
I've been running in Evo shoes for months now, I love terra plana and always try to use their product because it's such a responsible producer. Sofstar Runamocs are made in USA but don't have a vegan option...
