FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, Vivobarefoot shoes, including the Primus Lite IV, are designed with a wide, anatomical shape to allow toes to splay naturally.

What is the main benefit of a barefoot shoe?

Barefoot shoes promote natural foot movement, strengthen foot muscles, improve balance, and enhance ground feel and proprioception.

How do I clean the textile upper?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

Can I wear these for long-distance running?

While they are suitable for running, their suitability for long-distance depends on your running style and adaptation to barefoot footwear. They encourage a natural stride, which may require a transition period.

Are these shoes vegan?

Yes, the Primus Lite IV is made with recycled and vegan materials.

What is the drop of the shoe?

The Primus Lite IV is a zero-drop shoe, meaning there is no difference in height between the heel and the forefoot.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is enough room for your toes to splay. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pressure points.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff

This is common when first transitioning to barefoot shoes. Wear them for short periods, gradually increasing duration. Gentle flexing by hand can also help soften them.

Slight discomfort after initial wear

Allow your feet and body time to adapt. If pain persists, consult a podiatrist or a barefoot shoe specialist.

Dirt accumulation on the upper

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure to rinse thoroughly and air dry.
