For this month's edition of the hikes we have an extra special one! We are teaming up with the amazing Vivobarefoot!
🦶 WHAT ARE VIVOBAREFOOT'S: Vivobarefoot shoes are designed to be Wide, Thin and Flexible: as close to barefoot as possible. They promote your foot's natural strength and movement.
Hannah & I have been a big fan of their shoes for a long time and we're excited to have them along for the walk and to introduce some of you guys to them who may not have used them before.
This partnership is designed to deepen connection. We want to show people a different way of connecting: to he ground beneath them, the natural world around them, and the people beside them.
To celebrate the launch of Vivo’s new hiking boots, the first 10 sign-ups will receive a pair:
🥾🚨 THE FIRST 10 SIGN-UPS GET A FREE PAIR OF VIVO'S!! 🚨 🥾
And all other sign-up will get a 50% off voucher!
