Vivobarefoot has announced the Tracker Pioneer Shearling, a limited-edition winter boot with an oversized shearling upper and wraparound cord lacing. It is available now in limited quantities in the Birch/Beige colourway.
Why it matters
The boot combines natural materials with a wide, foot-shaped fit designed to let toes spread naturally, offering an option for cold-weather hiking and outdoor wear. Its limited availability means buyers who want it will need to act quickly.
The boot weighs 383g per shoe in a women's UK size 5 and has an All Terrain outsole with a 2.5mm sole base and 4mm lugs. It retails for £250, $320 or €280, and Vivobarefoot has not claimed it is waterproof.
The players
Vivobarefoot
Vivobarefoot is a footwear brand known for minimalist, barefoot-style shoes with wide, foot-shaped fits.

Timeline
- Announced and published on 9 November 2026, with the Birch/Beige colourway available now in limited quantities.
Roadmap
The Tracker Pioneer Shearling extends Vivobarefoot's barefoot-style philosophy, with its wide, foot-shaped fit, into the winter boot category. It applies that approach to a heavier, insulated design built from natural sheepskin shearling.
The boot is sold in limited quantities, so buyers wanting the Birch/Beige colourway will need to purchase while stock lasts. Those who prefer a wide toe box and natural materials for cold-weather outdoor use can compare its £250 / $320 / €280 price against other winter boots.
The takeaway
Shoppers considering a winter boot for hiking should weigh the boot's lack of a waterproof claim and its limited availability before purchasing. Checking fit and materials against your cold-weather needs will help you decide.
