## Description

Vivobarefoot Mens Primus Lite Knit Textile Synthetic Trainers

Review: MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES I OWN HANDS DOWN (READ FOR SIZING TIPS) - if you are trying to get into barefoot shoes these are right for you, they are a steal for this price and this model is not shown on the official Vivo website anymore. As someone who has owned Lems and a few other barefoot shoes (never the five individual toe slot Vibrams though lol) these are the most comfortable. I have gone through three pairs of these and am on my fourth now. I AM A SIZE 11.5/12 NORMALLY BUT iN tHESE I WEAR A SIZE 10!!! Be careful with sizing as they run very big. They can be used in the gym though lateral work will cause your foot to slide a bit, you will not be able to run immediately in these as your feet and calves will have to get stronger but they are amazing and lightweight and flexible shoes and honestly my go to for pretty much anything non formal as they are quite versatile. They look a little funky but not too bad and are suuuper comfortable
Review: I am now going barefoot thanks to vivo - I honestly didn’t expect to like these as much as I do. The shoe has basically become my go to shoe on the weekends (my only days off lol). I’ve gotten so used to the flat, minimal feel and having room for my feet to actually move that I really don’t enjoy wearing traditional shoes anymore. That was a big Nike guy before, but once I found out about Vivobarefoot and tried them out, I was sold. They’re lightweight, comfortable, breathe really well, and work for pretty much everything I do. My feet sweat a ton and they are PERFECT!!!! Fair warning though: once you get used to wearing these, regular shoes start feeling like bricks on your feet 😂. Definitely expensive, but I wear them enough that they’ve been completely worth it. Thanks vivobarefoot!!!!!!
