Review: Sizing - Love the shoe, but runs larger than size indicator due to having very thin upper.
Review: Disappointing Quality for the Price - I purchased these Vivobarefoot Primus Lite Knit in May 2024 for £116, expecting a high-quality, durable minimalist shoe. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. Despite using these shoes primarily for casual wear with some light running and walking, they've worn out at an alarming rate. Looking at the photos I've kept them in excellent condition. The most concerning issues are: 1. The glue on the heel has come off 2. The sole is separating from the upper 3. Stitching is coming out from the upper For a shoe at this price point, I expected significantly better durability. The fact that they seem to rely heavily on glue for construction is particularly disappointing. This isn't my first negative experience with Vivobarefoot, and at this point, I'm hesitant to consider their products in the future. While I'm generally willing to pay a premium for quality, these shoes simply don't meet the standard I'd expect for £116. I cannot recommend the Primus Lite Knit based on my experience. The rapid deterioration of the shoe makes it a poor value proposition. I'm now in the process of contacting desertcart to seek a resolution for this issue. Hopefully they allow me to return this for a refund. If you're looking for minimalist shoes, I'd suggest looking at other brands that offer better durability and value for money.
