However I'm a size 43 EU or 9.5 US for the majority of my shoes. Definitely size down for the Primus Lite. I purchased the 42 EU or 9 US and these fit perfectly. These have a sock like feel, barely there kind of shoe. There is very little structure to the shoe maximizing comfort and flexibility however this also means your foot will 'swim' around a bit if you are doing aggressive lateral types of movement like tennis or soccer. I use these in the gym for weight lifting and walking around. This is more of a lifestyle shoe as opposed to a performance shoe. Like all Vivo's the quality is outstanding. Review: Best fitting shoes I've ever had. - I have very flat feet, and a shoe has never felt more comfortable than this! Quality is on par with adidas, nike, etc. Super flexible, almost feels like they're not even on there. I went a half a size down than what I usually wear, since this has more room in the toe box. They aren't the best-looking shoes, but they are lightweight and feel like I have socks on. ## Features - Find out what your feet are capable of. The Primus Lite Knit takes our hero lightweight running shoe and gives it extra groundfeel and flexibility. - Primus Outsole: Get as close to the ground as possible. - Performance Insole: The Performance Insole is made of 98% recycled polyurethane foam, which helps reduce waste and the use of virgin plastics. - Tough Rubber Compound: Strong, non-marking rubber compound for sticky grip and high-abrasion when you need it most. - Urban: Stripped-back soles for barefoot living - so you're never too far from nature, even in the city. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09C5W66B5 | | Best Sellers Rank | #95,312 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #802 in Men's Trail Running Shoes | | Brand | Vivobarefoot | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Midnight | | Cushioning Level | Moderate | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 18 Reviews | | Fabric type | Vamp, Quarter, Tongue (85% RPET, 15% Elastane) Overlays (50% TPU, 20% Hotmelt, 30% Polyeurathene) | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Positive | | Heel Type | Flat | | Import Designation | Imported | | Insole Cushioning | Foam or similar synthetic material | | Insole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Manufacturer | Vivobarefoot | | Manufacturer Part Number | 309304-20 | | Material Fabric | Synthetic | | Model Name | Primus Lite Knit | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Occasion Type | Casual | | Origin | Imported | | Outer Material | Textile | | Outer material | Textile | | Pattern | Solid | | Platform Height | 3 centimeters | | Pronation Correction | Neutral | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Special Features | Breathable, Lightweight | | Specific Uses For Product | Hiking, Running | | Sport Type | Running | | Strap Type | lace_up | | Style Number | 309304-20 | | Surface Recommendation | Road, Treadmill | | Theme | Botanical | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Men's Primus Lite Knit Running Shoe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VnC85RqzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sock like feel - Definitely size down *by W***R on October 2, 2025* This is my 4th pair of Vivo's and they've all been excellent.
