VIVOBAREFOOT Primus Trail SG, Mens Trail Running Shoe, with Barefoot Sole Black

Love these runners for out on trails but you do need to be used to running in barefoot runners

I've had Vivobarefoot running shoes for the past 7 years. I love them. But their tread has been worn down completely which makes them very slippery on muddy tracks. So I decided to buy a new pair of Vivos with better grip.After 2 months I've finally made peace with the new pair, but only after cutting them up. I can only conclude that they were designed by someone that doesn't run...or wear shoes. The designer certainly never tried on these shoes. They would have noticed that the elastic squeezes you like a python. The only way I found around this is to cut the elastic in several places (see photo). I can now go for a run without being in agony afterwards.Probably best to steer clear unless you like cutting up very expensive shoes

Bought this pair for hiking and was bummed after hiking all day, because the lining around the shoe opening rubbed my Achilles heal raw, the surrounding area: ankles and top of foot weren’t as raw but still just as sore after a hard days hike. Otherwise, the vivo barefoot shoes ROCK and fit GREAT!

I could literally not even get my foot through the opening. I am a woman with high arch, but I’m sure there are plenty of men with hefty feet so for the men’s shoe to have this issue would tell me many will not be able to wear these.
