Review: My favorite running/walking shoes - I have owned these for about a year and have run about 750 running miles in them so far, so it's review time. Style: I researched barefoot running but wanted a shoe that I could wear year round and this shoe was perfect, style-wise, to fit the bill. They are just plain black for the most part and I ended up wearing them daily all year. Running/Comfort: I have put in quite a bit of mileage on these shoes and after I learned how to run/walk without the assistance of cushioning, I prefer them to my HOKA's. You should do some research into barefoot running before taking off in these but I no longer have shin/patella/knee pain, it's amazing. Gym: These are the perfect gym shoes for me. I can squat and run on the treadmill without needing a change of shoes. If you lift in Chuck Taylors then you'll love these. It's the closest to thing to barefoot you'll find. Durability: I didn't think they would hold up as well as they did. The one issue I had was my eagle talon of a big toe wearing through the top (quickly fixed with some black thread/needle). That said, this is a common issue for me and Vans Authentics only last me about 3 months before developing this issue, so these perform leagues better. The soles are impressive, very impressive. As stated I've run over 750 miles in these shoes AND wear them every day but the soles themselves are showing some wear but nothing concerning. I will purchase a new pair when my current pair wears out completely and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a good barefoot shoe.
Review: Best Shoes - I am a medical student and became very interested in natural foot health after receiving a scoliosis diagnosis, feeling that my problem is musculoskeletal. I bought these shoes and my lower back pain left. I use these in placers I need to have my feet covered and can't wear my earth runners. Get these if you are thinking about it. I also bought the waterproof outdoor vivo primus models, but the light with the shoes laces and the manufactured upper is just WAYYYY better. You can;t beat it. I know they had issues with the toe box ripping with wear but that hasn't happened to me and I have had them for a hot minute now, wearing them to patient exams and such. These are also my emergency shoes if I need to run. I plan on DEFINITELY using these in the Emergency Room when I go on rotations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the feet
*by W***. on August 26, 2025*

I grabbed the Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III trainers and they’ve quickly become my go-to for both running and everyday wear. The recycled PET mesh is super breathable and makes my feet feel cool even on warm days. The barefoot-style design and thin sole make everything from walking to lifting feel more fluid and natural. They’re lightweight but durable, and the wide toe box gives my feet plenty of room to move, which helps keep me balanced and grounded. Plus, knowing they’re vegan and eco-conscious makes me feel good about wearing them.
