Vivobarefoot Primus Lite Knit is the perfect everyday barefoot shoe for an active lifestyle – just as suitable for the gym as for light running sessions.

Check the size chart before ordering!
Please note that Primus Lite is available in men's and women's models. The difference is that the women's model is slightly narrower while the men's model is slightly wider. Men with narrow feet can therefore choose the women's model and women with wide feet the men's model.
To choose the right size, do this : Measure your foot. Place your heel against a wall and measure to the longest toe. This is your foot size. Add 0.6-1.5 cm to this measurement to know which size to choose. Keep in mind that when you exercise in the shoes, your feet get warm and swell a little, so choose closer to 1 cm extra, or slightly more. Check the size chart below (we have measured the insole here at Widetoes).
Example: Your foot measurement is 28.4 cm. Choose size 44 (29.5 cm) and you will have 1.1 cm extra.

How they feel on the foot:
- This shoe is incredibly soft and lightweight! The stretchy textile wraps around the foot, offering a relaxed and almost weightless feel. Herman has a wide and medium-height foot, and this model fits him perfectly. He describes the fit as “fantastic.” Thanks to the stretchy material, the shoe molds to your individual foot shape. The laces also make it easy to adjust the fit just right.
Vivobarefoot’s classic Primus Lite Knit is a much-loved barefoot shoe. It’s ultra-light on the foot, with a snug fit around the ankle and generous space for the toes – making it ideal for everyday wear, an active lifestyle, or even training sessions like gym workouts.
The materials are breathable and wick away moisture and sweat during exercise. This shoe is designed to be as little shoe as possible, letting your foot work naturally. The barefoot feel in the Primus Lite Knit is truly excellent. While the outsole is smooth and not ideal for trail grip, it performs exceptionally well on flat surfaces like pavement and roads. The sole has a total thickness of approximately 4 mm, consisting of a 2 mm outsole and 2 mm tread depth.
