Hi everyone,

I’m looking to order a pair of white barefoot‑style shoes from a US site (I live outside the US so I can’t try them on or easily return two sizes). I’ve narrowed it down to:

• Lems Kourt (I’ve owned these before)
• Vivo Barefoot Geo Court 3 (currently on sale at about the same price)

My situation

• Foot length: 28 cm
• Previous Lems Kourt (US 12):
  • Toes were too cramped (I had to remove the insoles)
  • The interior lining wore out completely—rendering the shoe essentially unusable—but the exterior still looks great
• Usage: I walk about 8 km (~10 k steps) daily and burn through insoles quickly, so replaceable insoles are a must

My questions

1. Geo Court 3 vs. Lems Kourt: Has anyone tried both? What are the key differences in fit, durability, or comfort?
2. Sizing on Lems: Do they run small? If you were ordering again, would you go half a size up (12.5) or a full size up (13)?
3. Your pick: If it were you, which model and size would you choose—and why?

Thanks in advance for your help!
