## Description

Vivobarefoot Mens Primus Lite Knit Textile Synthetic Trainers

Review: SIZES RUN BIG! - 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.
Review: Great but a little bigger than expected - Only tried them on briefly but they feel very comfortable to wear, they do run a touch larger than normal shoes and I assume it’s due to the larger toe box. I normally wear a 11.5-12 in everyday shoes but will have to return my vivo’s in 12 to get the 11s

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SIZES RUN BIG!
*by J***L on January 30, 2025*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but a little bigger than expected
*by D***Z on January 27, 2026*

Only tried them on briefly but they feel very comfortable to wear, they do run a touch larger than normal shoes and I assume it’s due to the larger toe box. I normally wear a 11.5-12 in everyday shoes but will have to return my vivo’s in 12 to get the 11s

### ⭐ Soles separate easily
*by C***R on December 30, 2025*

I ordered a pair of these and after wearing them for a few days the soles began to separate. Amazon sent me a replacement pair and the soles on both shoes separated from the shoes even worse than the first pair. I had a pair of these about a year ago that held up very well. However, the shoes that Amazon were sent to me were not durable at all.
