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

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

I love the feel and quality of these. They do run a size big and I was told to order my normal size to allow extra room. I wish I would've ordered a size down. They still feel fine and look great. For a barefoot shoe I highly recommend this brand and style.

Very nice shoe. They seem sturdy and although I haven't used them for exercise, I'm sure they would work out fine. The only drawback for me is the volume on my left foot is higher than on my right, so if I wear them all day they can get uncomfortable over the top of my left foot. Very nice shoe otherwise though. I'll recommend them with one caveat, if you have higher volume feet, these probably aren't for you.

Looked and felt cheap for how expensive they are. Also way oversized like other reviews mentioned. I wouldn’t recommend, you get something similar for way cheaper.

Save yourself some money and get a pair of Whitin barefoot shoes

Edit: 4 months after the initial review, I see the other product reviews are back, great! Separately and not great, I'm seeing the sides of the shoe peel apart after minimal wear (sub 100 mile wear and tear, these have mainly been used inside on a stationary bicycle after my review); see the second photo. Dropping to just 2 stars, I'd steer clear of these even at the sale price (which is sad, I really like the sole on these). ------------- Original review: 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.
