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: Great but a little bigger than expected - Only tried them on briefly but they feel very comfortable to wear, they do run a touch larger than normal shoes and I assume it’s due to the larger toe box. I normally wear a 11.5-12 in everyday shoes but will have to return my vivo’s in 12 to get the 11s ## Features - The lightweight recycled active trainer, made for uninhibited movement - Breathable Recycled PET Mesh to keep feet cool - Men's Exercise Shoes - Super light breathable mesh textile upper with seamless synthetic overlays ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09TZFYHVF | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,773 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #339 in Men's Fashion Sneakers | | Brand | Vivobarefoot | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Closure type | Lace-Up | | Color | Black | | Cushioning Level | Minimal or Limited | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 374 Reviews | | Fit to Size Sentiment | true | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05057794112889 | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | heeled | | Inner material | Mesh | | Insole Cushioning | Minimal or Limited | | Item Weight | 1000 Grams | | Manufacturer | Vivobarefoot | | Manufacturer Part Number | 309092-0140 | | Material Fabric | Mesh | | Model Name | Primus Lite Iii | | Occasion Lifestyle | athletic | | Occasion Type | athletic | | Outer Material | Recycled PET | | Outer material | Recycled PET | | Pattern | Solid | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Special Features | hard-ground | | Specific Uses For Product | Sports | | Sport Type | Exercise | | Strap Type | Cotton or Synthetic | | Style Name | Sneaker | | Style Number | 309092 | | Subject Character | Barbie | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | lining-description | Mesh | ## Images ![Men's Primus Lite Knit Running Shoe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61prY3GlJtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long do they last with minimum 5 miles walking daily and some weekly running?** A: they are my favorite shoes but 10,000 steps a day they will last you 4 months till no tread and maybe 5/6 till there's a hole. I'm 220lbs **Q: Can you wear this in water?** A: Yes they work well in wet environments **Q: Are these comfortable for people with flat feet?** A: I bought them for my husband. He says they’re not very supportive for flat feet, you have to build up the muscles in your feet to be able to wear them comfortably. He wore them for only an hour at a time at first. Now he can wear them longer because he has strengthened his arches. **Q: Are these good for Yoga?** A: You can try. Due the nature of Yoga, it should be done barefoot. These shoes are very light weight and perfect for heavy lifting, calisthenics, and body weight exercises. They don’t add weight and heft to your foot which is an amazing benefit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES I OWN HANDS DOWN (READ FOR SIZING TIPS) *by D***C on May 17, 2026* 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.

I normally wear a 11.5-12 in everyday shoes but will have to return my vivo’s in 12 to get the 11s ### ⭐ Sketchy at best *by M***A on March 20, 2026* Bought two pairs of these shoes. On both shoes, the sole started separating from the upper around the sole. I contacted Vivoebarefoot multiple times through Amazon's seller messages, directly through through their website, and via email. Never received a response. Contacted Amazon, told them the seller is unresponsive, and they told me their is nothing they could do. Pretty sketchy IMO. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vivobarefoot Primus Lite Knit Mens Barefoot Shoes | Build Strength, Balance & Mobility | Lightweight for Training & Running | Wide Fit Grounding Shoes | Flexible Knit - Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III Mens Barefoot Shoes | Build Strength, Balance & Mobility | Lightweight for Training & Running | Wide Fit Grounding Shoes | Vegan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/503790638-mens-primus-lite-knit-running-shoe](https://www.desertcart.us/products/503790638-mens-primus-lite-knit-running-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
