They feature a super thin sole, a breathable mesh upper, and a striking design that does more with less.
We find most of our customers take their regular size in this model. The Primus Lite III is unlikely to stretch out over time.
The Primus Lite III has a sleek fit style:
Note on laces:
The lacing is very secure once they're done up, as the eyelets will grip the laces due to the material's texture. This makes them great for our barefoot runners and for folks who like to put their shoes on in the morning and then forget about them all day. However if you have trouble with lacing already from mobility or pain issues, it could make things more challenging for you to don and doff these shoes. Replacing the laces with elasticated options may help make these more accessible if they're otherwise a good choice for you. Let us know if you have questions about this and we'll help you out.
*Some of our stock has been updated to make the lacing easier.
The Primus Lite III feels very barefoot with the Vivobarefoot Active Outsole, which measures 4mm thick. You'll feel your terrain easily, and the soles bend and flex so that your feet can too. Like most Vivobarefoot shoes, the soles do not feel cushiony.
If you are new to minimal shoes and used to thick, stiff soles, you may want to take it very slow in this model. It takes time to develop the mobility, strength, and gait required to use these as runners or everyday shoes. If you enjoy when shoes feel as close as possible to being barefoot, you'll likely enjoy the Primus Lite III.
Vivobarefoot provides the following care info:
"When possible, it’s best to use natural products for cleaning and weather protection. Soapy cold water beats a washing machine when it comes to our performance shoes."
We recommend spot cleaning and handwashing in cold water and gentle soap only as needed. Afterwards, lay your shoes flat to dry out of direct sun. Avoid over washing by handwashing just the insoles to refresh in between.
The airy mesh, lightweight design, and sleek fit mark the Primus Lite III as a clear choice for your performance needs. These are very popular with our barefoot runners, weightlifters, and other athletic minded customers. Great as a gym shoe, running shoe, or walking shoe, especially in warm weather.
The second reason the Primus Lite III is so popular is for their style! Plenty of the Primus series fans are wearing these as casual everyday shoes that give you as much interaction with your environment as possible.

Shipping Options:
Discounted Flat Rate according to Region via Canada Post
We are introducing Discounted Flat Rates for customers based on where you live in Canada.
Once your cart total reaches $100* or $200, a flat rate will be applied to your check-out based on your postal code.
The flat rates include: free, $5, $10, and $15 (based on your cart total and where you live)
*if your cart total is under $100, regular Expedited shipping will be applied
Why the new shipping rates?
This new tiered flat rate system was created based on a need for our small business to catch up with rising costs of shipping, whilst also giving our customers a better shipping rate than if they were to pay at full cost. To make this fairer for everyone, we created these flat rates based on the region of the shipping address, as shipping costs are determined by region.
