Product Information

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. Like I mentioned above, these rounder, fatter laces that tend to come untied easily, so I recommend replacing them. 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. 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 One of the things we adore about the Magna Lite WR SG is how they’ve designed the ankle area. The stretchable wool collar makes them incredibly easy to slip on, and there’s absolutely no restriction around the ankle. Even the sole is remarkably flexible, despite its robust appearance.

It’s a domino effect at work. Grip is impressive too, even on slightly softer ground, which is just as well because moist trails are often hard to avoid in the UK.In its 2022 annual report, Vivobarefoot laid out 10 overarching goals regarding its products. These include designing all its products for circularity and getting rid of non-regenerative virgin materials. In essence, to have a fully regenerative and circular product line-up. That being said, if you want a barefoot shoe solely for lifting, you may want to explore options that will be more suitable for versatile training, as the Primus Asana’s upper can feel a little heavy at times. I like that these shoes can be easily worn with different outfits and can work in a range of formal settings. These could be a viable option for business casual outfits and wearing out when you’re wanting to dress up a bit more.

Each shoe also comes with a removable insole. The Lite and Lite Knit insoles are foam topped with recycled fabric. They’re easy to wash and clean (definitely necessary for a gym or running shoe). The interior is lined with leather and features a cork insole, making these shoes a real pleasure to wear. The padded collar provides extra comfort, and although the sole is thin and flexible, it’s not the softest on the market. However, it strikes a great balance between durability and flexibility, and we find its quality to be amazing. My husband is a heavy tester of Geo Courts, and they hold up incredibly well for him! The first thing to like about the Vivobarefoot Primus Asana is that it’s a good barefoot shoe for daily wear and casual training. There are not a lot of barefoot shoes that can walk the fine line between looking good for daily wear and being a decent model for working out. I feel like the Vivobarefoot Primus Asana is somewhat of an exception to this and it delivers a rather strong performance in both verticals. For daily wear, this shoe is comfortable and the upper looks good with multiple outfits.The Magna Lite is another remarkably lightweight hiking boot by VIVOBAREFOOT, perfect for spring and summer hiking adventures. The upper is made from a stretchable and breathable thin mesh material, which has been treated with a water-resistant coating. However, it’s important to note that it won’t keep the rain out, but it can handle a bit of morning dew. These shoes are made from 100% vegan materials, and the best way to clean them is to let the dirt dry, brush off the mud, and then wipe them down with a damp cloth. Sizing & Fit: Magna Lite WP SG in women’s sizes is an excellent match for those with narrow to medium-wide feet, while men’s sizes can accommodate slightly wider feet as well. These boots are most comfortable for individuals with low to average instep heights. VIVOBAREFOOT Geo Court Opanka is definitely one of the best-selling models from VIVOBAREFOOT since its debut in 2020. This simple slip-on model is crafted from super soft, high-quality leather (the photos show their 2020 model, but they’ve added new colors), and I can easily say it’s one of our all-time favourite barefoot shoes. The sole is incredibly thin and flexible, making them feel amazing on your feet – it’s like wearing nothing at all! I absolutely love them because they’re so easy to slip on and comfortable to wear. Whether you’re wanting to tighten the Primus Asana for training, daily wear, or because you have narrower feet, you may find that the upper folds in. This shoe feature four core eyelets and and they’re fairly spreadout when it comes to their width.
