Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG Mens Barefoot Off-Road Shoes | Lighweight for Speedy Hikers | Water & Puncture Resistant for All Weather & Terrains | Wide Toe Box

I've been using these in the gym and they're really nice. Coming off a pair of cheaper barefoot shoes these are pretty comfortable and definitely an upgrade. The only thing I wish I could change is that the draw string is really long but I just tuck it into the other laces and it's not very noticeable. These are really great for deadlifts. Amazing grip and they don't move at all even under really heavy loads. Solid for squatting as well as long as you have decent ankle mobility. I've walked ~5 miles in them and didn't really have any issues with blistering although you should be accustomed to barefoot shoes already if you do that.

Pros: I really like these shoes. They they look great, are light, have a great barefoot ground feel, and our extremely breathable. The traction feels solid, as does the shoe.Cons: I'm really not sure what Vivobarefoot was thinking with these laces. The laces that come on the shoes are extremely thin, and ribbed. The ribbing prevents the laces from properly moving and makes it hard to get a comfortable, tight fit. The narrow diameter causes them to cut into my feet when tightened enough to make the shoe feel secure. I almost returned the shoes because of the laces. I ended up swapping the laces with a thicker no-tie elastic lace (see photo). It makes the shoes much more comfortable, and the elastic nature adjusts with movement so they don't cut into me.Also: I wish they had half sizes, because the pair I have are slightly longer than I would prefer but the next size down jams my toes.

Have been working on my messed up feet for awhile to wear something like this it is the most normal looking barefoot shoe i can wear with shorts during summer and for walks but you feel the road so we aware its a lifestyle in foot health so hit that bump or rock you might feel it a bit nothing dangerous but just be aware comfy also

I use them for the gym and love them! Best shoes to date, I use them for the gym and for walking the dogs! My favorite! I have 4 of these shoes. My favorite brand of shoes because they are the widest I have ever seen for the toe box.

This shoes has nice quality, for me it’s very comfortable very breathable and I use it on daily basis. I see some comments that this shoes is thin, needs additional soles, very uncomfortable, etc… before you buy this shoes you should read the description and watch their video! I would not recommend using this in a rough terrain but for everyday walking and moderate exercise (jogging, running gym), I would recommend it!

Unfortunately, the "deep sea blue" doesn't match the pictures. It has a white sole, and blue accents instead of a yellow sole with obsidian accents. Did some digging, and it looks like Vivobarefoot just doesn't sell this variant anymore, but still disappointing since I think it looks better.Shoe feels good, although a bit short (I just barely poke the front of the shoe with my second toe). Unfortunately, I wouldn't want to go up a whole size since it would be way too large - hopefully the shoe will just stretch a tad with use. Really wish there was half sizes with this brand. I find this shoe more comfortable than my Xero Aqua sports - it's a more substantial shoe with thicker treads and I'm hoping it'll last longer. As others have mentioned, the laces are not great. Too long and thin, but that I can replace. A nitpick is that I'd love a loop on the shoe tongue just to make putting these on a little easier.Overall, nothing that's going to stop me from wearing these shoes, but I do have a lot of nitpicks with these shoes after only a week of owning them.

I'm not usually very worried about what my shoes look like, but the tip of this shoe started to wear within the first week. A $160 shoe should be built better. The bottoms of the shoes have gotten more comfortable over time, but the shoelace clasp is annoying and comes loose easily, and it can be very painful when you try to kneel and it stabs into the top of your foot. I should have just gotten the cheap ones.Update:The return window closed for this item a few weeks ago. So as you might expect they broke. One of the super thin shoelace loops towards the opening of one shoe gave out today.On the bright side, I was just starting to get used to them and was finding them to be quite comfortable.I'll be pursuing a refund, and I will update if I get one.Update 2:After contacting the seller directly (off of Amazon) I was able to get a replacement. It has been a couple months since then, and the new pair got worn out in the same way and then broke in the same way. I guess you're not supposed to wear them every day. They are just so you can look trendy or something. I really want to love these shoes, as they are comfortable once you get used to them.
