Primus Lite Knit Mens Barefoot Shoes | Build Strength, Balance & Mobility | Lightweight for Training & Running | Wide Fit Grounding Shoes | Flexible Knit

Feels great as a casual lifter to get close to the ground, however be advised you should consider sizing down one size to have the glove-like fit. Mine run a little big.

Came apart after 3 workouts

I ordered a pair of these and after wearing them for a few days the soles began to separate. Amazon sent me a replacement pair and the soles on both shoes separated from the shoes even worse than the first pair. I had a pair of these about a year ago that held up very well. However, the shoes that Amazon were sent to me were not durable at all.

There used to be more reviews for this listing, not sure what happened but at the time I’m writing this there are only 6 which feels strange. These are my second pair of Vivo’s and I knew my fit after trying them out in a store; the rep advised me they run big and sizing down was perfect and worked well for me. The main issue here that you won’t notice until you walk around in them a bit is the “pinch” - the swoosh section on the toes (see highlighted area in the photo) bends and rubs against the top of you toe/joint when you walk. This wasn’t noticeable in the store but man you feel it fast out and about. This is reported elsewhere online and there only seem to be a few solutions; tough it out until you get used to it, wear socks/thicker socks, and maybe adding some felt to the inside of the toe box (not sure how well that would work). I’m toughing it out for now but this really brought down a 4/5 shoe fast. Three other things to consider: 1) Some users report the sole by the toe coming unglued quickly, your mileage may vary 2) The ankle opening may not work for you, I like it and it fits well but this can easily run against your ankle the wrong way depending on the overall fit 3) The knit really isn’t that breathable, it reminds me of suede and on warm days you’ll feel it - this surprised me, I thought it would be more airy than it is Overall I recommend trying these from Vivobarefoots store for the 100 day money back guarantee, and if you’re getting them from Amazon don’t pay over $100 as the pinch issue makes these really not worth it at full price. I love the style and the sole but for me these are a 2.5 at best, they may be a better fit for you.

This is my 3rd pair of primos lites, they're my favorite shoe! Can be hard to get used to if you’re going from shoes with lots of support into these- feet need to get strong before they’re comfortable wearing for long periods of time. But 4 years into my barefoot journey, I can’t go back to arch support, it’s too comfortable letting my feet be free!

I love Vivobarefoot and have four pairs of different models. They are all strong, durable and meet the strongest expectations on a barefoot shoe. This model is also very comfortable, if you can get it on! The collar around the shoe opening is quite tight, and while the material is stretchy, it still takes effort to put on the shoe. Also, the shoelaces are more decorative as the snugness of the shoe makes them redundant. I even removed mine as I didnt think they added to the style or function. I've found that due to the time it takes to put them on, I fall back on other Vivobarefoot models that are quick to pull on, when I am on the run. That is the reason I took off a star. If you are happy with taking your time, or if you were to stretch the elastic collar, I am sure you will love them.

Comfy shoe up until you wear it all day and then your feet pay the price, it’s lightweight, fit is strange, quality is horrible I’ve been keeping mine alive with glue.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Ive been doing barefoot shoes for a year and these are definitely my top go to for workouts. I also use these for casual summer outfits. The mesh is nice as it makes it very breathable.

Sent back. Not that comfy

Das war mein erster Barfußschuh und ich bin wirklich begeistert. Durch den Wald damit zu spazieren, ist wirklich ein tolles Erlebnis. Durch die fehlende Dämpfung eignet sich dieser auch super für das Krafttraining. Bei der Größe muss man tatsächlich aufpassen. Ich habe 42,5 und die 42 sind immer noch zu groß. Mit Einlage und Fersenschutz passt es aber für mich. Die Schuhe sind auch super verarbeitet. Der Preis jedoch ist schon recht stolz.

provare per credere!

I was uncertain about a trainer without loads of cushioning as I have arthritic knees, but these are amazing. Yes, I have had to get a little used to them but otherwise they are great

Das ist schon das zweite Paar dieser Schuhe die ich gekauft habe. Ich benutze nur noch Barfußschuhe im Alltag und empfinde das als angenehmes Tragegefühl für meinen alltag. Generell ist meine Körperhaltung dadurch auch besser.
