BAREFOOT SNEAKERS THAT UNLOCK YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

The Primus Lite Knit Natural combines lightweight barefoot performance with a soft, flexible knit upper made predominantly from Tencel™.

Designed for gym training, strength work, functional fitness and everyday natural movement, it gives your feet the space and sensory feedback they need to move naturally. The flexible knit construction wraps comfortably around the foot, while Vivobarefoot's thin Primus outsole keeps you close to the ground.

With a wide, foot-shaped toe box, zero-drop design and ultra-thin 2mm outsole, the Primus Lite Knit Natural encourages natural balance, stability and unrestricted movement.

Primus 2mm Outsole

The lightweight Primus outsole is designed to bring your feet as close to the ground as possible while providing protection for training and urban environments.

At just 2mm thick, its signature hexagonal tread provides multidirectional flexibility, allowing the shoe to bend and move naturally with your foot.

Natural Movement. Minimal Shoe.

The Primus Lite Knit Natural is designed around the core principles of barefoot footwear: wide, thin and flexible.

The wide toe box allows natural toe splay, the zero-drop construction provides a level platform underfoot, and the flexible sole allows your feet to bend, flex and respond naturally to the ground beneath you.

The result is a lightweight men's barefoot trainer designed for natural balance, mobility and sensory feedback.

Natural Knit Upper

The sock-like upper is made from 92% Tencel™, 7% Hot Melt and 1% Royka, creating a soft, flexible fit that moves comfortably with your foot.

Its minimal construction makes the Primus Lite Knit Natural an excellent choice for men looking for a barefoot training shoe that transitions easily from workout to everyday wear.

Cork & Recycled PU Insole

The removable cork and recycled PU insole combines recycled polyurethane with cork for lightweight everyday comfort.

For an even closer-to-the-ground barefoot experience, the shoes can also be worn without the removable insole where appropriate.
