VIVOBAREFOOT Primus Asana, Mens Light Breathable Shoe with Barefoot Sole

Product Information

Yes, you can certainly work out in the Vivobarefoot Primus Asana. This barefoot shoe is suitable for recreational lifting, especially if you want a barefoot shoe that can work well in the and also looks nice for day-to-day use. I would not recommend this shoe for running and athletic workouts. Takeaway Thoughts Mine have been frequently used for about the last nine months and have some yellowing, but it’s easy to wipe them down, rinse out the mesh, and pull out the insole to clean them. Overall though, I enjoy the versatility that comes with the Primus Asana. The fact that it can be worn for multiple seasons despite being designed for warmer months is a perk of this model and adds it to this shoe’s value. Vivobarefoot Primus Asana Sizing

Best fit for: Narrow to medium width feet, low to high volume feet. Since these have adjustable laces and a separate tongue, they are more accomodating to a range of volumes. The upper is made from a combination of smooth and suede leather (or only suede) in various colors. The Michelin sole with deep lugs results in a less intense ground feel, but the flexibility of the shoes is surprisingly good, especially considering how robust the outsole appears. This sole type is definitely great for off-road adventures too, but honestly, I would be afraid to ruin them in a wet and muddy environment. The Primus Asana is a wonderfully soft and flexible casual women’s barefoot trainer, made from natural materials to promote natural movement. It’s versatile enough to go with almost anything, from joggers to jeans, and can even be paired with more casual dresses. These stylish boots are available for both men and women, with options for a leather-lined autumn edition or a cozy fur-lined winter edition. Gobi III are meticulously crafted from high-quality chrome and metal-free smooth or suede leather, and the laces are made from organic cotton. It’s worth noting that the light-colored beige suede leather may be more sensitive than the darker smooth leather, so it’s advisable to apply protective measures before wearing them. The sole is thin, measuring 4 mm, but the included cork insole provides some additional cushioning for added comfort. In terms of competition, you’re looking at the Xero Shoes Mesa Trail, Merrell Trail Glove 7, and Vibram Fivefingers V-Trail 2.0. The Vivobarefoot shoe tops all of these in terms of price.Goods being returned in a condition other than Pristine and Brand New as sold may be subject to a diminished value fee if they are diminished as a result of your handling and use while in possession of goods. When it comes to daily wear, I enjoyed the Vivobarefoot Primus Asana. Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite Vivobarefoot shoes from an appearance point of view.

I took the insole out when training in these and they did a pretty stellar job when it comes to overall stability and lifting support. Their Active Sole performs pretty identically to the Primus Lite III’s sole, so I was a fan of this feature. If you’re familiar with the iconic VIVOBAREFOOT Gobi boots, which have been around for several years with minor updates, get ready for something completely different. The new Gobi features a completely new design with a sporty look. The upper is made from buttery soft leather, and the top part of the boots is completely unlined, exposing the raw side of the leather. This makes the boots extremely soft and light, avoiding any ankle restriction or digging into your skin. However, keep in mind that these boots are best suited for autumn and spring as they are not lined with warm material like the old Gobi boots. The Opanka Ballerina is a new model introduced in 2023, and it offers the same soft and incredibly light sensation on your feet as their Opanka slip-ons. The upper is made from super soft, high-quality smooth leather in two different colors. Around the top edge, there’s a wider elastic band that ensures a better and more secure fit while also adding a casual touch to the ballerinas. The sole is super thin and flexible, giving you an amazing ground feel. The Vivobarefoot Primus line is one of the brand’s core styles. I’d call the Vivobarefoot Primus Lite the OG, with the other Primus styles serving up variations to the uppers or sole to cater to different situations and terrain. I’m wearing an EU38/Women’s US7.5 in all three versions, based on my 23.3cm foot measurement. I look for about 1.2cm ( approximately a thumb’s width) of space beyond my toes.If you have additional sizing and fit questions on the Vivobarefoot Primus Asana, or how they compare to other barefoot shoes, drop a comment below. Price Breakdown Sizing & Fit: Geo Courts are available for both women and men. Overall, Geo Courts feel slightly wider than most VIVO models. The women’s model is best suited for narrow to medium-width feet but can also accommodate medium-wide feet. The men’s models are wider than the women’s, and if your size falls within the range where both models are available, you can choose between two different widths. When I put the Primus Trail Knit FG shoes on for the first time, I said ‘Woah’. The fit is incredible. Imagine a sporty, technical slipper if you can, and you’re sort of there. A slipper in the sense the Primus Trail Knit FG is broad in the toe and easy to slide on. For spring and fall days where it’s cool, I could see these shoes working decently well and the traction is “okay” so they could be viable commute-friendly barefoot shoes. If it’s more frigid outside, I’d go with something like Vivobarefoot Geo Court Knit. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Vivobarefoot Primus Asana, but if the price makes you wince, I wouldn’t break the bank for this shoe. Also, I’d suggest looking around for Vivobarefoot coupons to help bring their price down a bit. Performance
