Whether you’re logging daily miles or crushing a gym session, the Vivobarefoot Primus Flow Knit Men's Shoes are engineered to help you rediscover how your feet were built to move.

Weighing only 161g (EU 42) per shoe, these zero drop shoes feel featherlight underfoot while offering freedom of movement and sock-like comfort. The seamless 360-degree knit upper hugs your feet like a second skin, giving you a breathable, distraction-free feel that adapts to your stride. 

Since they are free of an insole, there is no unnecessary bulk between your feet and the ground, creating a pure barefoot feel that lets your toes splay naturally for balance and stability. Anchored by an ultra-thin Primus Flow outsole, these barefoot running and gym shoes deliver improved sensory feedback and ground connection to flow between your training sessions with agility.

Key Features:

  • Versatile Barefoot Training Shoes: Built as your lightweight, go-to partner for road running, gym and everyday active wear - weighing just 161g per shoe (EU 42).
  • Crafted With Vegan Materials: Made from synthetic, non-animal materials. Vivobarefoot avoids a full 100% vegan guarantee because full supply-chain transparency for minor components such as dyes remains difficult to verify. 
  • Zero Drop: Keeps your body aligned from heel-to-forefoot, encouraging a natural posture.
  • 360-degree Knit Upper: Wraps your foot in a breathable, sock-like fit that adapts to your stride while keeping your feet cool under pressure.
  • Locked-in, Unrestricted Fit: Textured laces, engineered lace loops and unstructured heel together create a secure yet natural-feeling fit.  
  • Wide, Foot-Shaped Toe Box: Gives your toes the room they need to spread for natural stability.
  • No Insole: Strips away unnecessary padding to bring you closer to the ground.
  • 4mm Midsole: Offers a thin layer of protection, without compromising on your proprioception 
  • Ultra-Thin, Primus Flow Outsole: With a purpose-built 1.4mm sole base and 0.6mm tread depth, the Primus Flow outsole keeps you firmly grounded while increasing sensory feedback and offering effortless flex with every step.
The Vivobarefoot Primus Flow Knit caters to runners and gym goers seeking lightweight barefoot training shoes to move with freedom. They feature an adaptive, breathable knit upper with a foot-shaped fit and distraction-free flexibility to support your natural body mechanics. We recommend transitioning to barefoot footwear gradually to allow your feet and calf muscles time to adapt.
The main difference between the Vivobarefoot Primus Flow Knit and Primus Flow is the upper material. The Primus Flow Knit offers sock-like comfort from the adaptive, seamless knit upper, whereas the Primus Flow features a breathable mesh upper (100% recycled polyester jacquard). Both barefoot training shoes are made in part with recycled materials and are built on the ultra-thin Primus Flow sole.
