Additionally, they also tend to have older models which may no longer be available at the Vivo store.

6. Zeazoo.
__________________________________________________________________________________

7.Carets Shoes.
__________________________________________________________________________________
These, in my opinion, are one of the only true dress shoes for men in the barefoot shoe market. They recently released a women's oxford shoe as well and are also releasing men's stylish boots later in the year. Their magic lies in their fake heel and their fake toe box, your toes actually end earlier in the shoe allowing them to function and not be squashed while still enjoying a tapered toe box.
Prices: 200+-350$
Gender. Men, with one Women's Model
Shipping cost to Israel: 50$
Sizes: 5-14
Kids sizes: NO
Discounts: Discounts with new releases.

While there are some smaller hiking stores which stock a brand or 2 around Israel as they do not have many models or brands available we stuck with the stores that stock several brands.
Honorable mentions which don't ship to Israel yet but we felt they we were worth mentioning.
The way to get these into Israel is
1 Ushops.Co.il U shops provides you with a US based address to order anything you and they ship it independently to Israel.
2. Find a kind soul who will bring it in their suitcase from the USA, UK, EU. Be sure to consult sizing charts and return policy first.
3. On your next trip abroad smuggle in a bunch of barefoot shoes ;)

While initially launching with kids shoes only, Splay recently launched their models in adult sizes and the world went crazy.
