Yeah it is very frustrating at times. Especially when there’s a style you like but it just doesn’t fit. I’ve said before but I’d have a pair of almost every style they make if I could but they don’t all fit me 🥲

Yeah I know what you mean. I learned to use it but it is an ergonomic nightmare for a lot of people. Like I say, I learned to use a claw grip but it took some time to get over the initial awkwardness. It's a shame other third part manufacturers can't implement the same controls. At least then there could be a choice for the type or shame of mouse out there. Right now it's either a small crippling pebble with amazing touch controls or a more comfortable grip but with just standard buttons.

Thanks bud. Appreciate the comment and will do 👌🏻

Uncomfortable or comfortable? 😅 I tried the Ababa. The width was amazing and so was the feel but it just just way too short in the length! It was like it was a size down but it was supposed to be a UK 14. Was pretty gutted as I really liked them.

Yeah basically. You just have to pay the return postage which was around $30 ish which is nothing in the grand scheme of being able to recover your data!

@@harrisonmudge I’ve always heard of this service (haven’t had to utilize yet 🤞) but always thought the fee was the fee. I def learned something here, thank you 👍

@@kernzilla No problem 👌🏻

Hmm, it could be that they've just sold out of the boot and wont restock till the winter. If you keep an eye on their range you'll notice they have some "forever stock" or whatever the term is which means they stock all year round with some seasonal colourways to mix things up. Then you have their seasonal range which, as you'd expect they stock for the season, run a sale on any remaining till they run out then you won't see them again till next season. I'm not certain but It could be that the Gobi boot was a seasonal shoe. It was also a new style so perhaps they wanted to test the popularity near end of season to get a bit of demand without committing. Purely speculative on that but based on experience the seasonal thing is the most likely. Unless they had horrendous quality / manufacturing issues.

I had a look at Freet after your comment as they sounded super interesting but when I checked out some of their range they only went up to a UK 12 😓 gutted as would like to try them but not even close to my size

Yeah they’re a little pricey but the quality and feel is really premium so if they’re a good fit you’d be happy with them. Always gotta spark joy every time you put them on and the price will be worth it

Hmm, I don't have any issues with mine BUT it is the Mac specific version. Yours is the one with the dongle right? I can't imagine there's any reason why it would have any issues though. The only other thing I can think is potentially your environment. Do you have a lot of other bluetooth stuff connected or are you surrounded by other electrical stuff? When I was in a previous office I used to be in a narrow space and right next to a WiFi router. My Magic Mouse used to jitter and lag. Not all the time but there was often interference and very frequent. I then tried moving to a different space, further away from the router and in a more open area and it solved the issue! Definitely worth looking at the area you're operating in. Hope that can help a little.

Yeah I’d say so. They have the slightly thicker outsole, combined with the thermal insole and it’s reasonably cushioned enough not to be uncomfortable if you’re starting out. Size wise, if I’m not mistaken the Birkenstock are pretty similar length measurements to vivo so I’d say you’ll likely be good going for a 42 still. 👌🏻

Gladly bud. I’ll certainly start putting some notes together. Sneak peak though… they’re great 🤫

I’m really not sure. I think for me anyway, going up a size if I could probably wouldn’t solve their narrowness. My feet were pressed to the sides as soon as they were on my feet so I can only imagine after wearing them for a few hours they would get worse. If you’re on the fence with them yourself, I’d suggest sizing up if you can for the length assuming your foot width is average. If you’ve got wide feet unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend them. You don’t have to take my word though as Vivo have the 100 day free trial so you can always give them a go yourself and return if they’re not a fit 👌🏻

Awesome you’ve got your go to shoes 👌🏻👌🏻

Yeah I didn't get the sandal right but it just didn't wow me enough to commit. Vivo still my number 1 too for sure.

@@harrisonmudge haven’t found Vivo rubber sandals yet…

They have some leather ones but they’re always super limited supply and never have my size

Thanks will take a look 👌🏻

Looks like they do a good range of sizes, sadly I just don’t like the look of them 😕

@@harrisonmudge I get that. I purchased 5 vivos, 1 splay and 1 xero, and 1 shama sandal before trying out some of Lems boots. (I was hesitant for the same reason) But man they ended up being comfortable. I own 4 lems now and they have become my go to. Would love to see more styles. Very much has the Colorado backpacker look

Hey bud, thanks for the kind words! Yeah I got these in a UK 14. Not sure if they're back in stock at time of writing but they also added a canvas type version so worth double checking. I always check out their site every so often as they add stuff on there without too much promotion. Not sure why. For example they're adding a couple of other shoes such as Primus Lite "3.5" which is using a new material. But I've seen nothing about them through ads, emails or even their home page. I often just stumble onto them. It is a real shame these and the Novus ran small. Both look so cool. And yeah, us larger footed folk definitely get the raw end of the deal at present! Vivobiome is definitely a step in the right direction but it'll take some time for that concept to become more ubiquitous.

@@harrisonmudge Really appreciate the reply mate... Will keep an eye out.

No worries. Fingers crossed for you bud 👌🏻

Hey bud, Great to hear you love your Vivos. I've not tried the Be Lenka myself. I did take a look but they don't go up to my size sadly :(

Hey, good question. And I’d say it might depend on your fit preference and how the knit will fit your foot. The regular Primus lite can be looser or tighter depending on how you do the laces whereas from my experience with the knit, it’s naturally going to feel a bit more ‘snug’ because of the sock like element. Which you can then make tighter with the laces. You can still get both, the regular Primus lite and then the Primus Lite knit so you’ve got the choice. Personally I really like the snug feel of the knit but unless you’re sensitive to that I don’t think you can go wrong with either as they’re both a nice fit overall.

Yeah makes sense. It is a shame they didn’t fit but I think overall their shape just isn’t a match for my foot shape. I do respect what they’re trying to do though 👌🏻

Also wildlings look very wide but I don't have first have experience with them (plus they are from europe so you should be able to have an easier time sourcing them)

Yeah had a look at the Wildings. They have me very intrigued, I just don't think I could pull them off!

Yeah they would be fine to nap in, no problem. It’s not recommended you let them sleep in it overnight though

Yeah the Apple mouse was a little crippling to start but I learned to claw it. The Logitech is definitely a lot nicer now i've had more time with it. I have the magic mouse in my bag for emergencies when I'm away from my desk and it feels like a tiny pebble now in comparison. I do really like the swiping and I'm even considering getting an Apple Magic trackpad so I can have my Logitech in my right hand and the trackpad for my left for gestures. Reason being my MacBook is raised so while not a pain to reach, it's a much more deliberate action than reaching just off to the left of my keyboard. Yeah I heard the same about the dongle but to be honest, one I don't want to have to have a dongle for a dongle and two, the latency isn't something I've noticed.

Oooh interesting. I’ll give them a look 👌🏻

If you’ve got a bit of space in the length on the Primus lite knit then yes you should be good sticking with the same size 👍🏻

@@harrisonmudge thx for the response and good review

@ConcreteKingzOG no problem and thanks for the comments. Appreciate it 👌🏻

@@harrisonmudge got them today no pinching or any problems i hope the vegan leather doesnt get too hot

Yeah I definitely needed to size down. Very annoying though when you have to go back and forth. I just found they didn't excite me enough to keep paying for shipping back and forth. Also annoying how the sandals ran way larger than the shoes. I might try again in the near future though

Yeah but that's the problem. They were the BIGGEST size I can buy! Agree if you're around a 10 lets say then you can size up or down accordingly. I'm a UK 14, and no one (or at least not many) go beyond that. Also, these were too narrow rather than too short, so I don't think they'd have got any better even if I sized up :(

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment and kind words. Right now I’ve gotta say my Geo Court 3. Are my favourite. I’ve got them in black and in white and I find they’re so versatile as a fashionable shoe. They work with jeans or with shorts. And when it comes to how they’re made, the leather is great, instantly so soft and supple and flexible, and they’re leather lined internally too so they feel great under foot with or without socks on 👌🏻 What about you bud?

@@harrisonmudge nice! I also have the Geo Court III’s but for me they are still pretty stiff, mainly on the right foot. Should I just give them more time to keep breaking in? Also do you still enjoy the Magna FG’s and Primus Lite Knit’s?

@rosswiegel4751 oh that’s odd. Interesting it’s only on the one foot though. That could be due to the leather as it’s ‘less processed’ it’s someone uneven in its feel. But for me the whole shoe was supple from the beginning. That said I think my white pair probably are a little stiffer relative to my black pair. I’d never say give them time to break in if they’re uncomfortable as I feel they should feel great from the start. But my black ones which I got first and have worn more are ‘looser’ in that respect. Personal preference whether you stick with them though. Yes still love the magna’s. I wear those less in summer as they’re a bit warm. The Primus Lite Knit are back on too for the summer yes. They’re a great casual trainer for shorts in the summer. Although we’re yet to see the summer in the UK. I hear it’s close though but right now wellies are more appropriate!

@@harrisonmudge interesting! Yeah I have a white pair so maybe somehow they are stiffer than the black pairs? Also are you going to check out the motus flex?

@rosswiegel4751 I do keep looking at the Motus. I’m currently preparing to go on holiday, and still waiting on my refund for the Feelgrounds but I might pick a pair up in July. They do look so cool, I did hear that the other pair of Motus trainers actually run a little small but I might get them both and give them a comparison

Ah that’s a shame. At least their returns are decent. Could be worth another try, or you could check out a different pair. The Geo Court 3 are one of my favourite

Yeah that’s something I completely forgot to include in the video! €10 shipping even though I spent over 200. Then to return them it’s cost me another 10. So trying to find your fit you’re just not going to be going back and forth with them that’s for sure! Vivo has their 100 day trial, free delivery over £100 and only pay the shipping on the return. That’s way more acceptable than shipping both ways

@@harrisonmudge after this experience and one with Flux footwear that was similar I’m just gonna stick with vivos haha it’s worth the price premium

@anchovies11 yeah that’s certainly how I’m feeling too 👌🏻

Vivos murder my small toes and are too shallow so they feel restricting. Feelgrounds don't bother my small toes at all and have good depth. It's all about foot shapes.

@@CptAngelKGaming What do you mean by depth ? Hight for your foot? If so, yeah my feet a relatively flat which is why the taper to the mid foot and heel for me was more uncomfortable whereas Vivo have the wider (overall) fit from front to back. Certainly not always the widest though. You're right about foot shape though, so much variance across populations.

Thanks 👌🏻

Thanks for taking the time to comment bud, really appreciate it. I’ll keep trying different brands but right now it seems Vivo is the sweet spot for me. Not perfect across the range but in general they’re usually decent. Other brands just don’t spark the joy in me at the moment

Yeah I’m not a massive runner myself but great to hear you love the aqua cloud. I was told I probably needed a size down in this instance but they didn’t excite me enough to try again with them

Yeah it’s wild how the sizing fluctuates. And I’ve realised that the websites usually give a general rule on sizing rather than individual shoes. Although some actually do so I don’t want to tarnish all with the same brush. Guess it’s all about just finding the brand and where you fit in their sizes. I just shoot for the 14 as it’s usually the max size anyway and I’m actually yet to put a pair of 14 that a too big 😅

Yeah no good. Back to Vivo I go 😅

I’ve had them a while but I don’t wear all the time so they’ve not been thrashed and still looking white (ish). I’ve seen someone else with a pair and theirs were getting a dark grey look to them just from all the build up of grub and scuffs but I’d imagine they could be cleaned back to white, it might not be perfect though so if you are concerned about the colour I’d recommend getting a darker pair

I’d say no, for me they’re just right as they provide just enough additional length for your toes to move without touching the end

yeah mine aren't the widest, just 'big' with a large big toe with the rest tapering so I never feel like my little toes get crushed but i'm very sensitive to my big toes being boxed in. Mad how such subtle differences can impact the fit dramatically.

Hey bud thanks for taking time to comment, I appreciate it. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t get on with Vivo. It’s definitely a bit of trial and error until you can find a brand that suits you. It’s just going to take a bit of time. Perseverance is key 😅

No problem 👌🏻

To problem, glad it helped 👌🏻 depending on your hand size and if you even have any discomfort or not on your current mouse then the Logitech could be worth it but might not be essential. I do really enjoy mine now and definitely more comfortable, but I did learn to live with the Magic Mouse and the gestures still beat most other non magic mice out there.

No problem. There’s been a couple of small changes since I recorded it. They updated the logic app so you can actually have a more natural scroll. It’s not perfect as still working from ‘lines’ to scroll be definitely better. I also learned the mouse does have acceleration. This can be found in your Mac settings but it was already on for me. When I turned it off the mouse was incredibly responsive/ sensitive so left it on.

@@harrisonmudge thanks! I am looking for this mouse for 2 reasons: 1) I used to use first version many years ago and it was fantastic. 2) I started to have a wrist pain from Magic Mouse. After watching your video I still want to try it, but now more sceptical if it will will my issue :D

Yeah it’s a good mouse. It would depend on hand size to know if it would truly solve your issues though as like I show in the video, the hand position while slightly better many not be ‘ergonomic’ enough. But it might. A friend of mine has the super ergonomic one m, that’s basically a sideways mouse so your hand and wrist is completely neutral. That did definitely help his wrist pain. He used to just use a track pad the whole time so having a mouse at all I think helped him a lot but that was really gentle to his wrist

@@harrisonmudge yeah, let's see. Have a delivery today and then 2 weeks of testing before I can return that. Hope it will be enough to get rid of Magic mouse grip

😅 yeah it’s definitely a horrible sensation. I do remember wearing Nike trainers years back and at the time it was just something I had to deal with. My big toes would be numb on the sides after wearing them all day!

No I haven’t but I’ll check them out 👍🏻

Yeah that’s a real shame. It’s definitely challenging when you’re towards the extreme of a scale, small or large. I don’t think the number of people at either end is insignificant but more that relatively speaking there’s just so many more people in the middle. (Obviously). When someone is a size 9 or 10 I do envy them sometimes. Although saying that, there’s a higher chance of things being out of stock in that higher frequency range

@@harrisonmudge Hey, I just saw that Splayshoes has added one size larger (M14/W16) to their updated Freestyle model. Thought of you!

@childcrone thanks bud. Will take a look 👌🏻

VIVOBAREFOOT are currently my favourite but always open to other brands. Sadly these just didn’t fit right

Had a few people say the say but also they seem to run small so doesn't fill me with too much confidence being on the larger size of shoes :(

@@harrisonmudge u have free returns, just try

Yeah I'd say the Vivos are certainly the thinnest ones I've experienced so far so it donsn't surprise me. Bit of a catch 22 isn't it though. A balance between thickness, life span and 'natural' feeling.
