The new and improved Primus Trail 3.5 FG is here!

Made with recycled, vegan, high-performance materials – including a 71% recycled polyester upper and 98% recycled PU ortholite insole.  Bringing Vivobarefoot closer to their goal of creating a recyclable shoe.

The Primus lite 3.5 FG is an all-terrain shoe, with lugs to give you extra grip, a little bit of lift from the ground making it the ideal transition shoe for those new to minimalist shoes.

This shoe is light at 281g and breathable with the mesh upper and sides.

The Primus lite knit has had a makeover!

Now with a 59% Tencel and 24% Woolmark wool blend upper and free moving tongue for a better fit.

Still boasting the sock like fit, with the free moving tongue allowing for a better fit on those with a high mid foot and narrow feet.

Designed to be a trainer, don't let that stop you from wearing your Primus lite knit natural all throughout your day.

What colour is eclipse?  Think of the darkest night sky, not quite navy with that hint of blue/grey which is brought out with the colour of the gum sole.

The Sensus Yin Slide is back and now available in both the men's and women's sizing.

VIVOBAREFOOT introduces their first barefoot slide, made with chrome free leather, minimal stitch lines and adjustable straps across to improve your fit. Style is similar to the Sensus sandal.  Still flexible, still wide with the textured footbed to improve grip.

Simple, classic design for everyday and great for travel.  Pop them on to go out, head to Pilates or Yoga, pop to the pool or in the suitcase for your holidays!

The Ultra - now made with 55% Braskem's Sugarlite, a material made from sugarcane for a lighter impact on our planet, as well as remaining light on our feet while we enjoy our waterways.

Made as an amphibious shoe, you can wear your Ultras in the water or wear them instead of a sandal. 

There's no insole, they dry quick and feature the unique VIVOBAREFOOT honeycomb design.

We recommend going down 1 size in this particular style especially if you are a half size.  They feel like a shell covering around your foot.

The Trail Knit FG for our kids!

A popular design with the grown ups, so they decided to extend it into the kids range as well.

Constructed with a strong and durable TPU cage, elasticised laces and a slip on style with the knitted sock like upper.  Designed to pull on and go!

Thin and flexible to ensure your child's feet have the freedom to move as they need.

Our advice: we have found that like adults, kids with a higher volume foot may struggle to get into the sock fit style.  For this type of foot we would recommend the Primus Sport or Gobi sneakers with the free moving tongue.  The sock like fit makes this suitable for running, working to keep small stones, dirt and debris out of the shoes.

Primus Trail Knit Firm Ground (FG) is the cousin of the Primus Trail FG.

Features a knitted upper to provide better airflow and comfort across the top of the foot and is made from recycled materials.  The key feature of the knit is the sock like construction to keep debris out of your shoes and no tongue to adjust.

FG soles are also ideal when transitioning to barefoot shoes, being flexible while keeping you slightly off the ground.

We have found this style to be best suited to narrow and standard shaped feet.  For higher volume in the mid foot have a look at the Primus Trail FG
