I've mostly gotten glazed/confused/vaguely frightened looks from people who've asked about my shoes, or when conversations about footwear have come up. (I'm not stopping people on the street and proselytizing mind you.)

Do you have to fight the urge to approach people wearing shoes with 4-inch thick soles, shouting, "Vivo saves!!" 😏

What's your experience been when discussing your footwear with 'civilians'? 🤔

My parents have switched over to barefoot shoes, not exclusively per my suggestion but in conjunction with a friend of my mom's singing its praises.
