The Leonidas sandals have the same honeycomb sole as the Terra Plana boots I wore last winter. I agree that it feels less close to barefoot than the Aqua/Dharma sole, but it’s a reasonable compromise for protecting against colder, wetter, weather. Is it really necessary in a sandal?

I think it’s a pretty nice looking shoe, but it seems a little over structured to me. I’d be interested in something with just a few straps and a thin sole.

Obviously, deviating from the design concept and production lines already in place would involve higher costs. So, I can understand why they are building, essentially, off the same platform.

Right on, thanks for this! I’m going to be in NYC for a week next month and was planning on hitting the Vivo Barefoot store in lower Manhattan. Now I know what to try on…I love my VFFs, but sometimes you just want to wear sandals!
