A Minimal and Lightweight All-Around Trainer for Runners Who Prefer Being Barefoot
If you find typical running shoes constrictive and would rather spend your time barefoot, the Vivobarefoot Primus Lite 3.5 may be the shoe for you. Whether you’re experienced in barefoot shoes or looking to transition to something more minimal, the Primus Lite 3.5 offers a remarkably light and versatile option designed to keep you as close to the ground as possible.
With minimal cushioning and a thin Primus outsole, the Primus Lite 3.5 offers enough protection from the ground while maintaining a natural, grounded feel. The flexible construction and wide build allow your feet to move naturally with every step and create a stable platform that can carry you through runs, cross-training, weight sessions, or simply your day-to-day life. The lightweight shoe is tied together with a soft and flexible breathable mesh upper that wraps the foot without sacrificing any flexibility and comfort.
Finally, runners and athletes looking for a more sustainable shoe option will love everything the Primus Lite 3.5 has to offer when it comes to sustainability and renewability. The polyester in the upper is made up of 94% recycled material, and the thin outsole is fully recyclable, moving the brand one step closer to its goal of completely circular and sustainable footwear.
