You can always check out revivo.com, which has a lot of 40% off options. My original Primus Lite's were still going after five years, which works out to less than $3/mo, so they're budget friendly, as long as you take care of them. That said, there are certainly other good barefoot brands to consider. Vivo has a premium build and design, so I think it's fair for them to charge a premium.

Thanks for your advice about running with bent legs im running so comfortable now 🥰 grear video 🙂

Great job, Gill! It's really empowering when you find those little tweaks that make a big difference. (:

Do you know the differences between the 3 Asana models? A couple of months ago, I saw that they released the Asana II and now there is already an Asana III. They all look very similar. I have the Asana I in white (which seems to be easily recognizable by the leather patch at the heel always being brown instead of having the same color as the rest of the shoe) and the Asana II in red. Haven't worn the II yet, but it feels very similar to the I.

This is my first pair, haven't tried the others, but they're probably very similar, other than some slight design tweaks. Same sole and knit upper.

Great reviews, thank you for the insight. I am a young doctor transitioning to barefoot shoes for the first time. I am quite physically fit, and considering Vivos for my long hospital duties 12-16 hours a day with a lot of walking on hospital floors. I am conflicted between the asana vs the primus lite knit. Would love any suggestions, thank you!

Both would be a great option, as well as the slightly thinner Sensus. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4aKwc58pdvYk9I.html They're all very similar in feel and fit, although the Sensus might be easier to clean, being full leather vs knit. I used to work 8+ hour shifts on concrete in my 3mm Vivo Primus Lite's and they were so much more natural and supportive than the squishy cushion shoes I used to wear. My feet never got tired after switching. Enjoy!

Apart from the look, Would you recommend Asana or the lite Knit? mostly for an every day shoe, with some light gym exercises. Where I live might reach 100F in summer

@AndrewFolts

Either would be great for casual and light exercise. The Knit is slightly more geared towards training, while the the Asana is a bit more casual, but they both work in hot weather. Obviously an open mesh shoe like the original Primus Lite will let the most air through, although it looks very technical.

Thanks for the answer! Any personal preference between the two?

@@PacoPepe-yo2yw The Asana is a bit more comfortable and stylish, while the Knit works better for running/training, so it just depends on which type of activity you're going to use it more for.

Very hot summers where I live… do you think they are cool enough? I do not wear socks. Thanks!

Yea, there's tons of exposed knit material. I was wearing them yesterday when it was 80º at the beach. Obviously a sandal or full barefoot will always be cooler, but for a shoe they're highly breathable.

They seem just for summer indeed, all the models I guess

@@Angelstealth No necessarily. I've worn my original Primus Lite's (with the open mesh) down below freezing for winter running. As long as you've got a layer or two of wool toe socks kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZlqpKVrpsnSZNo.html and you're moving, your feet can stay quite warm in any of the Primus shoes. For slower walking they're ok down to maybe 40º or so.

Hi Andrew, how are they in wet weather? Guessing not especially suitable for rain. Thanks for the review. V. cool.

Hey John, the Asana's can take a bit of light rain, since the knit is closer woven than open mesh (like the Primus Lite) and some parts are leather, but yea, they'll soak through eventually. The Sensus would be better, since it's fully leather. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4aKwc58pdvYk9I.html

Just got the asana iii and they feel short and more narrow than my Primus lite iii. Has this been your experience or should I go up in size?

Interesting, no, I didn't find them to be any different from my Primus Lite Knits and they're actually more roomy than the Primus Lite's. Maybe it's a foot shape thing?
