Grow up wild, grow up strong
Built for all day and outdoor play
The Primus III is for kids who already know their own minds — and feet. So keep them grounded, but set them free. The updated Primus III has the same ultra-lightweight design and flexible, grippy sole of our bestselling barefoot kids' trainer, made using recycled, animal-free materials. Now engineered with a new tongue construction for a wider opening, letting kids pull these everyday sneakers on and off by themselves. With a toggle fastening for a snug, sporty fit that keeps out the "bits", but lets all the feeling in, making sure feet grip, balance and flex as close to barefoot as possible.
Multi-terrain: Giving you grip and ground feel on everything from wet and dry, rocky and firm terrain.
Fit Feel Flex: For natural stability, natural sensory feedback and natural strength.
NO INSOLE: No insole, bringing you even closer to the ground for the full barefoot experience.
BREATHABLE MESH: Breathable, lightweight and comfortable.
VEGAN*: The main materials in all our Vegan* products are synthetic and aren’t derived from animals. We don’t (yet) have the transparency we need over the production of all the small components (such as adhesives and dyes) used in these products to ensure they meet vegan best practices. So, whilst we believe the shoes are vegan, we’re not yet able to guarantee it and want to be fully transparent.
EASY VELCRO FASTENING: Made using water-resistant constructions and non-absorbent materials.
HEEL & TONGUE LOOPS: A dual set of tabs on each shoe make it very easy to pull these Vivos on, and can be used to hang a damp pair to air dry without deforming them
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 |
