Absolutely love these shoes! They’re so comfortable and easy to wear that I reach for them almost every day. This isn’t my first pair and definitely won’t be my last. I especially love the colour - even better in person!

▾ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ▾
RECLAIM YOUR RAW POTENTIAL
WIDE, THIN, AND FLEXIBLE TO ELEVATE EVERY WORKOUT
The Primus Lite 3.5 is a versatile performance trainer for running, cross-training, and dynamic day-to-day living that reclaims your natural potential. It’s wide for natural stability, thin for natural feedback, and flexible for natural movement.
The upper is made from 81% recycled polyester. We currently need the polyurethane for durability, but the Primus Lite 3.5 upper is closer to 100% polyester than ever: one step closer to a circular upper, and one step closer to circular footwear.
FIT, FEEL, FLEX
For natural stability, natural sensory feedback and natural strength
WHY VIVOBAREFOOT IS DIFFERENT
Vivobarefoot shoes are designed to let your feet move naturally. With a wide toe box, thin flexible sole, and zero-drop platform, they allow your feet to function the way they were designed to. Traditional shoes often add cushioning and structure that can reduce natural movement and sensory feedback.
| Feature | Vivobarefoot | Traditional Shoes |
|---|---|---|
| Toe Box | Wide and foot-shaped for natural toe splay | Narrow and tapered |
| Sole | Thin and flexible for ground feel | Thick and cushioned |
| Heel Drop | Zero drop for natural posture | Raised heel alters posture |
| Movement | Encourages natural foot strength and mobility | Supports and restricts natural movement |
| Purpose | Designed to reconnect you with natural movement | Designed mainly for cushioning and control |

Only shoes I can walk with after giving birth. Life saver!!!
I’ve been wearing the women’s obsidian vivobarefoots for years (old pair on the left) and after having a baby I decided to go up one size, as one’s feet can spread during pregnancy - which mine did. The size jump is discrete and not like there’s excess material that becomes a trip hazard, but rather it’s appreciated. So good! I also love the update to the laces! No coming undone mid training session. Still the awesome flexible sole and lightweight feel, with small considered tweaks.
My first pair , loving it! Highly recommend and recommend starting with the cork insert too for some cushioning :) Will buy more vivo shoes!
Love the Primus Lite 3.5. Look great and they are so damn comfortable! Great all rounder shoe for city walking, casual wear and going to the gym. Highly recommend. Will also buy the white pair now too
Great
Just love the feeling of being in contact with the ground. It’s like being in control of where you are going
Great shoes, speedy delivery. Highly recommend
Love my Vivobarefoot shoes! These are my work shoes, and are the best I've ever had. So much so that these are my second pair!
I LOVE these shoes for many reasons. Comfort, echo friendly recycled, washable, last for years. This is my third pair over the years. I got them to replace a pair that are at least 2 years old and I wear these daily!!!! Look at how well they have lasted! But really love a fresh pair 😍
Great feeling to have such light, wide, flexible shoes.
Great shoes! Although I don’t love them as much as my knits (also shown in the photo) hence the 4 stars The first pair I bought didn’t have enough room for my pinky toe to not feel squished so I had to size up compared to my Vivo knits which are more forgiving and I also took out the insole. They are still super comfy and I wear them as a casual shoe or occasionally to the gym.
I’m loving mine :) With my happily liberated feet, I feel fully grounded and more confident in the gym now that I don’t have to fight the wobbles that come with wearing cushioned narrower shoes! It never made sense to me why wearing sneakers with arch support (as advised to treat plantar fasciitis) made my feet hurt even more during weight bearing exercises!!! Now I know! These vivos are so comfy I’m wearing them out and about with my jeans too, will have to get another pair so I can keep these ones for the gym!
Lifting has never been better and enjoying this new journey
Staff were so helpful in assessing and guiding me towards this type of footwear. I wear these everywhere, and find they're just so versatile. I'm on my feet a lot for work, and need something I can demonstrate exercises in. It's also nice to present a bit casual rather than wear joggers everywhere. What I'm most impressed about is as a circus artist who needs minimal footwear Vivos have been the best thing I've found for my training, even stuff I would otherwise do literally bear foot :)
This is my 2nd shoes, That's why I love it!
Great online consultation to work out my size. Over the moon with my shoes, which you don’t realise how comfortable they are until you take them off and want them back on. Thankyou 😊

A friend of mine got me onto these for fixing my feet. I’ve been wearing them for a week and I’m obsessed! Will have to get another pair in black , love them!
I have been wearing it at home every day for nearly two months. I can feel the difference between wearing barefoot shoes and slipper. I love to get another pair!
I went into store and tried on a few different shoes for work. I originally purchased some Gobis and found that they were not the right style for me - the team were happy for me to return them. I ended up purchasing some black primus lites online and are very happy with them. Vivobarefoots are always the most comfortable to wear, and the best for my back health. The team at the Sole Mechanics store is always happy to help. I've purchased several pairs of shoes from them and have always been happy with their service.
Hands down the best shoes for my CrossFit and gymnastics needs. My feet have never felt healthier. I feel so free to move and train and live in them, big fan. Would be keen to partner with you in future on socials if interested @the_jess_green ✌️
Best shoes, corrected my walking pattern and my knee dont click anymore

Love these shoes! They’re light and breathable while being tough and durable. I’ll be purchasing more in the future.
Been wearing them every day. Full day wear still makes them very tired but otherwise been great for use outside of work where I need dress shoes

Great shoes, arrived quick! Recommend to anyone who has flat feet
Love these shoes. About to grab another pair.
I started wearing vivos a year ago now i have 6 pairs .. the best shoes … do your feet a favour get some … its now the only shoe i wear and i have lots of my clientele in them now … a fantasic shoe for strength athletes ☺️
Ever since I have transitioned to Barefootshoes it has been an amazing journey! I've been meaning to get a pair of Vivos I can use for gym and it is did not disappoint!!! Thanks very much!
The shoe feels nice and grippy even in Melbourne's recent wet days. Looks nice even for work like in my photo. Will definitely buy more from Sole Mechanics!
Awesome shoes, definitely the best pair of shoes I have ever owned!
They are so comfortable, light and have plenty of toe room ! I wear them everyday to work. I do around 35,000 steps a day and the shoes are so durable and comfortable. I will definitely be buying more.
Love my shoes. They are indestructible and I take them everywhere.
These are actually the best shoes I’ve ever had. I want to wear them even on a dress!
Super fast delivery, awesome product that is functional and super sexy 🤟
I was impressed with the costumer service for exchange with the quick responding. As for the shoes, I usually wear size 37 or 38, 24cm. Size 37 of Primus lite III was a little tight and short, so then Size 38 was perfect fit and super comfortable ! Just can’t wait to start my journey with vivobearfoot !!
These are the most comfortable shoes I ever had. The delivery was very fast. I’m am very happy with my purchase.
Absolutely love these shoes. No toe crowding and no sore spots after wearing them. Stylish, light, breathable and great quality. Thank you!!!
Perfect for the gym. Lot's of ground feel, increased stability and I can actually feel my pinky toes getting to work.
Love the fit! It's my 3rd barefoot shoe and this one fits perfectly. Have started training in them and they all brilliant - snug, super flexible and light. Highly recommend!
Awesome! My new go to everyday when not on the gym floor in my motus strength or flex
