VivobarefootPrimus Lite Knit Mens Barefoot Shoes | Build Strength, Balance & Mobility | Lightweight for Training & Running | Wide Fit Grounding Shoes | Flexible Knit

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.

Like several others have reviewed, there is some sort of manufacturing issue on the toe box of the shoes that made for an extremely uncomfortable feeling right on the big toe of both feet. I unlaced and re-laced the shoes several times, tried to give them several days of breaking in, but I had no luck, so I decided to send them back.

The widest sneaker to date that worked for my toes, which are all 4 the same size as my big toe, haha! I really love this brand because of the toe box! I use it for the gym and love it!

Shoes are comfortable but not durable. Got mine delivered on April 9th and a month later there is separation of the sole and upper.

While the shoe fits properly in terms of length and width once on, the opening is so constricted — with minimal stretch or structural give — that getting the foot into the shoe is needlessly difficult. For individuals with a high instep or higher dorsal foot volume, the entry process becomes frustrating, even with a shoehorn. This reveals a fundamental design flaw: the shoe lacks adequate ingress flexibility relative to its interior volume.If your foot is the slim line instep model this would be a stellar choice.

I love Vivobarefoot and have four pairs of different models. They are all strong, durable and meet the strongest expectations on a barefoot shoe. This model is also very comfortable, if you can get it on! The collar around the shoe opening is quite tight, and while the material is stretchy, it still takes effort to put on the shoe. Also, the shoelaces are more decorative as the snugness of the shoe makes them redundant. I even removed mine as I didnt think they added to the style or function. I've found that due to the time it takes to put them on, I fall back on other Vivobarefoot models that are quick to pull on, when I am on the run. That is the reason I took off a star. If you are happy with taking your time, or if you were to stretch the elastic collar, I am sure you will love them.

Bought these since I already use vibram shoes. Comfort and grip is great. However, the material of the laces has a "plastic" that irritates the top of the foot where it creases when stepping. Apparently it is a common issue with this model according To some forums. Returning and ordering the Lite III to try instead

Vivo’s sizes are all over the place, i’ve literally tried half a dozen pears of these and they’ve all been wrong. I highly don’t suggest buying these.
