TL;DR Are the Vivobarefoot Scott IV Mens Zero-Drop?

Hi, I’m thinking about buying the Vivobarefoot Scott IV Mens, but on their website under the heading ‘geo outsole’ it says the following:

[…] this outsole raises up towards the heel to hold feet firmly in place.

This sounds like those shoes aren’t zero drop which would be a dealbreaker for me. Does anyone have experience with this model or similar shoes by Vivobarefoot?

Also, if anyone can recommend other warm barefoot winter shoes, feel free to let me know. :)

Thanks in advance!

    They are absolutely zero-drop. What they refer to is the outsole “hugging” the heel on the outside to keep it in place.

    For winter, I use the Wildling Northwolf which are similar but with wool (less rugged but more comfy) and for really cold, icy and snowy weather I use the Feelmax Kuuva 6.

    I have other Vivobarefoot shoes (Gobi and Primus) and love them.
