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!

For those in the UK, BBC radio did a programme this week looking at the evidence surrounding barefoot and minimal shoes and their claimed benefits.

Hullo! Here’s the first post to kick off this community about shoes that respect the natural way our feet move and feel - everything with minimal but shod walking, running and hiking.

I welcome you all and hope that who seeks for information and help, can find it here!
