EVERY STRIDE LEADS TO THE FINISH LINE: CELEBRATING THE PRIMUS LITE 3.5 – OUR NEXT SMALL STEP TO CIRCULARITY We’re on a mission to be fully circular. For our synthetic styles – it starts with an upper. This means making an upper made from 100% polyester that can be recycled along with its outsole (already mechanically recyclable) and made into new Vivos – again and again. The Primus Lite 3.5 and Primus Trail 3.5 are the closest we’ve got to this. We’ve not crossed the finish line, but we can see it. And round here, we believe in celebrating the small victories along the way. Discover Primus 3.5: https://bit.ly/4cjLTO2 #Vivobarefoot #circularity #regenerativebusiness #recycledmaterials

I used to love vivo barefoot shoes and bought many pairs for many years. Lately the design has changed and it no longer fits the philosophy that the company was founded on. Yes the shoes are wide and allow the foot to spread out however, the height restriction at the toe has become a lot smaller. Measure the fatness in height from the floor to the top of your toe and then look at all the designs. They do not accommodate feet comfortably now and that was not always the case. I recently bought some shoes wore them a few times and took them back to the shop to complain. I was told they were re designed and they are better now. I was not offered a refund. I bought the new design, they are slightly better but I no longer live in them, they stay in the wardrobe looking like new just like the poorly designed ones. I am writing this because I am a fan or was a fan and I see the shoes now and how thin in height they have become and wonder if you have had this feedback?
