Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III, Womens Vegan Light Breathable Shoe with Barefoot Sole

True to size,comfortable to wear but not for too long. Plastic feel so not too comfortable for too long

These are my go to gym shoes. The fit is perfect with plenty of room for my toes. They have lasted over a year and look like they have more life. They’re comfortable and took no time to break in.

Context: I am used to being in either sandals or barefoot in home/native contexts. I wanted shoes that provided stability in how I did regular walks and specifically gym visits. & I was sick of bringing these bulky platform sneakers to the gym to lift. I had no lightweight shoes I can feel comfortable in. / Size: My normal size is a 9.5; I got these in a 10. At first I was thrown off because of all the extra real estate in the toe area. Then I realized this is normal and that these are wider in the toe area. I have a bit of room from my toe to the top of the shoe which I like. After 2 days of wearing I definitely feel more comfortable to the sizing. Overall: I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE SHOES. They're so comfortable. I no longer care that they don't look like the slimmest shoes; the all black pair is pretty sleek itself to be honest. Also, set your expectations with barefoot shoes! These are designed to be thin, flexible shoes. I love to use these on rocky paths and feel the grooves of rocks and hills and grass through the shoes on my feet (reminds me of home & is very grounding). This can be VERY unexpected for people who are not used to this! Especially for rocks or harder surfaces. Beware! Know what you are buying.

I’m so so so bummed to give these one star. I LOVE barefoot shoes. These were great until after a while they started literally growing mold in them….(how does this even happen?!) I will add: I wear socks with my barefoot shoes 99% of the time. I do wear them every single day (as my work shoe), but I don’t have super sweaty feet. Not sure what happened, but I’m really sad about it because these shoes were wonderful!

Vivo has a distinctive look, and after seeing someone wearing them locally (what are the odds?!), I decided to give them a try. I used the same cm length I’ve used for my many other barefoot shoes to pick the size from their chart. They were huge. Next I went with Amazon’s recommendation based on millions of purchases 😉 and they were still too big. The lightweight uppers and the sole flexibility were nice, but they were just too long. My foot looked odd - I don’t know if a smaller size would have looked normal but I had tired of the trial and error. Maybe I’ll go to the barefoot shoe event in Denver. Maybe I’ll find some Vivos to try on. For now, I’m Vivo-less in Florida.

Favorite shoes

Best shoes for training. I even was abel to use them for running but tou need to get slowly used to your feet working more than normal shoes.

I’m pretty upset with this shoe brand because not even a year into wearing them the soles are so worn down, holes are developing in the mesh by the toes, and the end of a lace is severely frayed where an aglet should be. For the price they should be more sturdy. Last I checked, Vivobarefoot’s website will take them and renew them for you but it costs around $120 to do so. What a joke. That’s the price of a new pair of shoes and defeats their whole point. Only reason I did not give it a 1 star is because the shoes were great up until month 10 when they started wearing down. And I only wore these a few times a week for my runs.

Muy buenas zapatillas para el andar descalzo.

If you’re into minimalist shoes, these are a go, true to size and super lightweight and comfy

Tengo los pies delicados las uso para el dia a dia

Super Schuhe zum Laufen.

Everything I hoped for. Very comfortable; could wear them in bed! And got them on a deal so exceedingly happy.
