Extremely disappointed I ordered these off Amazon, or in general, I haven’t decided yet…Their website gives you a 100 day trial so that might be more worth it on there for purchase.Im a barefoot kind of gal if not wearing flip flops or birks- have been for 30 yrs- and when I took the jump for barefoot shoes I chose these for working out, after many years of looking.I sized my foot to a T and made the purchase on here to get specifically this style- which wasn’t available on their website.After “breaking” them in after a month of wear (and well over my return date on Amazon) I realized they consistently rub my big toe/joint raw. I don’t wear socks that often to get a full foot feel when moving in these, though the times I have they still rub me raw/leave imprints.After a month of wear, I decided to wash them by hand, hot/warm water with some dawn+bleach and soft bristle tooth brush to get the mud off.. well before the mud came off the whole Vivo honeycomb “logo” on the side completely peeled off of both shoes :(The shoes still have spots of dirt on them and a permanent foot print of mine, which doesn’t bother me bc they’re white and supposed to be used so I fully expected it- I just thought they’d last a lil longer than a month before wearing in like that..To top it all off, these shoes are extremely- I mean wildly hard to get on.Like I break a sweat and wanna scream - hard lol I couldn’t believe it, thought it was bc of how wide my foot is- but isn’t that the point?Anyway. 2 stars because maybe it’s my lack of knowledge in this shoe game.And they’re pretty when not muddy.Photos are after 2 hours of wear

Terrible, after 3 months of really careful use alternating with other shoes (other vivo barefoot models) the soles are separating from the shoe in different places… ive had to super glue the tip of the shoes really bad quality. Also i hand washed them and the print on the sides came off.

Super Schuhe.... Zwar etwas Teurer, aber meine Füße sind mir wert...

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.

My son (the shoe hater) loves these. They are his second pair of barefoot shoes and he lives in them. They become a little less fresh after a bit, but are just fine after a run through the wash.

Great quality shoes. Use them specifically for my leg days at the gym and it’s the closest thing you can get to lifting barefoot. Highly recommend.

Very tight on the top part of the shoe. Inaccurately grips your feet. I love barefoot shoes but this is not a good product. Was hoping to get good quality as I paid a lot for this.

I purchased these Vivobarefoot Primus Lite Knit in May 2024 for £116, expecting a high-quality, durable minimalist shoe. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory.Despite using these shoes primarily for casual wear with some light running and walking, they've worn out at an alarming rate. Looking at the photos I've kept them in excellent condition. The most concerning issues are:1. The glue on the heel has come off2. The sole is separating from the upper3. Stitching is coming out from the upperFor a shoe at this price point, I expected significantly better durability. The fact that they seem to rely heavily on glue for construction is particularly disappointing.This isn't my first negative experience with Vivobarefoot, and at this point, I'm hesitant to consider their products in the future. While I'm generally willing to pay a premium for quality, these shoes simply don't meet the standard I'd expect for £116.I cannot recommend the Primus Lite Knit based on my experience. The rapid deterioration of the shoe makes it a poor value proposition. I'm now in the process of contacting Amazon to seek a resolution for this issue. Hopefully they allow me to return this for a refund.If you're looking for minimalist shoes, I'd suggest looking at other brands that offer better durability and value for money.

I have problem feet. 8 1/2 US and 2E wide, and a very high volume foot. This makes finding a shoe that fits very hard. I was hopeful that the knit design of these, and the wide fitting would be the one. Unfortunately they just have a weird fit on my for. They are not quite wide enough through the mid foot. Then ridiculously wide in the toe box, but also very long? I ordered a 9 wide which is my starting point for most shoes. These shoes were the longer size 9 I have ever tried on.The construction looks great. The zero drop feels good if you are used to it. The knit construction made for no obvious pressure points (other than where they are just to narrow.The laces are a bit strange, due to the knit construction the lacing pattern is a bit strange, but actually worked pretty well.Unfortunately these will be going back …

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.

La app me recomendaba comprar la talla 27cm que usualmente es mi talla pero vino ligeramente más grande, lo peor es que el zapato llegó en mal estado con la suela despegada. Devolverlos y comprarlos de nuevo no era buena idea ya que subieron de precio
