The Primus Lite 3.5 is our original training all-rounder, reimagined with a new upper to get us closer to circularity. 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 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. We're on a mission to create a fully circular shoe – a new Vivo made from an old one, which can in turn be made into another. The Primus 3.5 is a big step forward on this journey. With an already mechanically recyclable outsole, the challenge is making an upper from 100% polyester, which can be recycled. The new Primus Lite 3.5 upper takes us from 43% to 81% polyester, of which 94% is recycled. Why not 100%? Because some parts of the upper still need extra durability that polyester can't yet provide. We’re working with our partners to figure out this final piece of the puzzle.
Fit, Feel, Flex
For natural stability, natural sensory feedback and natural strength.
PRIMUS OUTSOLE
The Primus Outsole is a light and thin 2mm performance outsole that's designed to put as little as possible between your feet and the ground. The side wall profile is as low as it can be, giving it a slightly lower profile towards the heel, and the sole subtly overlaps the toe — offering enough protection for urban environments, without compromising natural movement. Strong geometric shapes lead to strong feet, so the tread pattern uses our signature hexagonal design to help multidirectional flexibility and grip.

Reclaim your natural potential
Shoes that put fashion before fitness and money before wellness? The unnatural isn't working. It's time to get back to basics and let nature heal us.
Start with your regular size, regardless of the brand. If you are unsure what your size is, please check our guide below. If you are used to wearing regular shoes, Vivobarefoot may feel more spacious when you first start wearing them.
In the end, fit is personal but we’re here to help you on your path to barefoot freedom!

FEET COME IN DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES
Millions of years of evolution have done an amazing job. The human foot is perfectly designed for standing, walking, and running.
Remarkably, feet come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some have been compromised by a lifetime in conventional shoes, some naturally wider and some thinner and longer. We’re confident you’ll find a pair of Vivos to suit you.

FITTING
Measuring your feet will help tell us what your recommended fit is. However, some like a shorter, snug fit while others prefer a longer, more spacious fit. This is where personal choice comes in.
It’s also important to note there will be slight variations in size from one style to another. Please check the product page to check if a style runs large, small or true to size.
If you are still unsure about your size, visit our store for in-store measuring,
