The Primus Lite 3.5 is Vivobarefoot’s training all-rounder, reimagined with a new upper to get closer to circularity- Vivobarefoot’s goal is to make shoes that can be recycled into future shoes and this model is a big step forward in that mission.
Made for moving naturally and building natural strength during runs and wide-ranging training disciplines, it’s perfect for experienced barefoot cross-trainers and those new to barefoot performance.
The Primus Lite 3.5 fits true to size, like earlier models in this series, so most customers take their regular EU size in this model. See our sizing page for guidance on what we would consider your regular EU size.
Vivobarefoot uses gendered EU sizing: men's and women's sizing is the same length at the same number, but men's sizing is wider and taller in height, and vice versa.
The Primus Lite 3.5 has the highest groundfeel possible while still wearing a shoe, as well as a very flexible sole.
With a very thin sole, the Primus Lite 3.5 will allow you to feel the ground and give your nervous system sensory feedback to help you navigate and react. The shoe’s flexibility allows you to move naturally with a fluid range of articulations.
We recommend it for folks who want to feel as close to barefoot as possible during gym workouts, running, or everyday life. If you’re new to barefoot or new to this much groundfeel, start gently and let your body acclimate to the amount of groundfeel and increased availability of range of motion. Don’t push past your body’s limits, but allow those limits to expand gradually over time.
Brush off mud and clean with a damp cloth.
If they get wet, remove the insole and let your shoes air dry at room temperature. Keep out of direct sunlight and avoid putting on a radiator.
Your favourite trainer’s favourite training shoe!
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. They’re your perfect choice for functional training at the gym: weightlifting, strength training, endurance, flexibility and mobility, too. With their sleek design and hot weather friendly materials, you may end up wanting a second pair just for casual wear, too.
