Strongman meets barefoot training.

Today we put two shoes to the test with Jacques Boshoff — 3rd place at Strongman Africa 2024 and a good friend of the brand.

We worked through a solid leg session, with Jacques putting the Vivobarefoot Motus Flex through its paces while I trained in the Primus Lite 3.5.

Two very different shoes, but both built for movement — from heavy lifts to dynamic gym work, with the wide, flexible design helping your feet stay connected to the ground.

Legs are eina but spirits are high! Thanks for being a lekker guy and a great ambassador for the sport and our brand✌️

September is all about getting out there and moving our bodies!

For the whole month of September, we’re hosting a challenge to see who can complete the most 500m loops.

Run it. Walk it. Dance it. Skip it. Get creative! You can complete the loop any way you want, you just need to register it as a run on Strava.

To make it onto the Local Legend Leaderboard, your Strava account must be public so your loops can be counted.

The route? It will be announced at midnight 31st August!

And the prizes? 👀

Prizes to be announced soon…

Trust us — they’re worth the wait. 🎁
