VivobarefootPrimus Lite III, Womens Vegan Light Breathable Shoe with Barefoot Sole

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.

Love this shoe. Foot great. Durable, have had for a year no issues. Good value!

I am in my early 30s and was waking up and going to bed with knee and leg pain. Every time that I put on my hoka shoes my feet were crying by the end. I had done a lot of research and it was recommended to switch over to barefoot shoes and this brand was recommended in particular so I bought these shoes from Amazon and within a month. I can jump off with the stairs and not waking up in pain, I don’t go to sleep in pain. The hardest part is just getting my endurance for walking up again because it takes a long time for the muscles to build up they are expensive but I hear they can at least last for two years where as the other shoes have only lasted about five or six months from all the activity I was doing it was hard to tell that first if it was the right fit because my toe was leaning in towards the middle, but I think they’ve just been squished for enough years now that they don’t spread like they normally would and maybe that will come with time

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.

The best barefoot gym shoe ever. For those who are looking to go barefoot, these have literally no sole (well, a very slim one) and may hurt if not transitioned into barefoot shoes correctly. The toe box is majestic, very spacious for all my toes. These are a little slippery but not on dry ground. The only bad thing Is that I’ve yet to try a Vivabarefoot shoe that actually grips to the ground. Could do with a cheaper price.

I really wanted these shoes. The style is probably the nicest I've seen for barefoot shoes. But they need to update the sizing. I'm a short guy, 5'4" and I have small feet, I first tried the smallest size in the men's and it was too big, so I ordered the correct size in women's. But they make the womens shoes narrower (I even emailed the vivobarefoot site to ask that and they confirmed the womens are narrower) and the ones I ordered are the perfect fit in length but are so tight around the front of my foot. Like tighter than my regular shoes, and the whole point of these shoes is to avoid that and be foot shaped. I honestly don't even think they'd be wide enough for a womans foot either. They need to start making all the sizes in the same width or offer a wider version.

Great shoes but do not order here: three times in a row I was shipped the wrong size (not even close!) so three trips to the ups store. Waste of my time and gas money.

I’ve had knee problems since I was 17 (ligament tears). In desperate need to heal my knee long term, I found out about the barefoot lifestyle when I was like 25. I didn’t start wearing barefoot shoes until 1 year ago. Doing knee over toes exercises and not Feeling tortured every time I put footwear on has been doing me a solid. These shoes in particular are wonderful. They’re light, comfortable, great for the gym or a run. Although if you have soft feet you might want you might want to put a padded sole in there for more cushion. Personally I love the barefoot feel. These are my first vivos and I’m glad I finally got them. If you like your feet feeling free I highly recommend these.
