READ MY PRIMUS ASANA REVIEW: thatfitfriend.com/vivobarefoot-primus-asana-review…

The Vivobarefoot Primus Asana is designed to be a warm weather-friendly barefoot shoe that can also be used in light active settings.

As a fan of the Vivobarefoot Primus shoe line, I was excited to put the Primus Asana. Granted, the higher price point was a little tough to get behind at first.

In my Vivobarefoot Primus Asana review, I'll cover multiple topics to help you decide if these are worth investing in for your needs.

0:00 Primus Asana Pros
2:33 Primus Asana Cons
4:36 Performance
7:31 Price
8:22 Who are these best for?
9:18 Primus Asana Sizing
10:29 Weight, Drop, and Insole
10:54 Construction
12:24 Final Thoughts

Overall, I've enjoyed the Vivobarefoot Primus Asana and the performance they have to offer.

This model somewhat feels like a blend of the Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III and the Geo Court models, which I like for different reasons.

If you want the Primus Asana for warm weather days and some casual training, I could see this model being a good pick for your needs.

Other than that, you could definitely find other barefoot shoes for better price points if you want something for daily wear and serious training.

    Primus Asana is a fantastic shoe! Great for lifting and casual wear, also looks really aesthetic
  • @John-dk3wj
    These would be great to wear in the summer time at work and casual wear
  • @bdykema2
    Great review! I picked up a pair of Asanas in Limestone—size 43. I have five other pairs of Vivos, and 43 is perfect in each case. But for the Asanas, I almost wish I’d sized down. Definitely long, and a little loose around the ankle too. Not so off that I bothered to return them. Just not perfect. They still feel great to walk in. But I can’t help but wonder if 42 would have been a better call.
  • Really great review. would believe i have the Xeros 360, Prio, Daylight Hiker Fusion and Xcursion Fusion? that’s a lot of clown shoes!!! I also like the Xeros TerraFlex but don’t have it.
  • @garcuca
    Good review👍 maybe I missed it somewhere but I’m curious about the width. Are they similar to the Lites or wider? Thanks!

    Hi Jake, first time coming across your video and channel. I’m not sure if you’re still reading and replying to comments, but I want to ask if you can please provide alternatives to the two cons that you’ve mentioned? You mentioned 1) it’s not the best daily wear shoes and 2) not the best for performances. Do you have recommendations for what’s the best for daily wear for all seasons? And another recommendation for what is the best performance? (I did see you have a few videos for best for cross fit, best for lifting, etc, so I can check those videos out.) Thanks in advance!
  • Good video Jake, which training shoe do you recommend I buy? Nike Metcon 8 UA Project Rock 5 UA Tribase Reign 4 Nike Zoom metcon turbo 2 I want something that lasts and is comfortable, I want to buy 2
  • Hey! I will order theye tomorrow,they look dope! I would just like an advice,usually i wear 45 size,i got primus lite 3 for the last 2 years..they served me well but there is defenetly a look of free space around my toes and heel...its allright but i wish tried size down 44 and now i am thinking to get these in 44 but i wonder how tight is the knit sround the ankle,do you feel that is too tight or its okay? And i see primus lite 3 and asanas habe a pretty similar sizing and shape,any thoughts on sizing down or not? Thanks!
  • I got this shoe recently and I like it too. I also found it to be a little long. The wrapping around the heel can be a little hard/noticeable in thin socks for me. Overall though its nice and a discount was definitely needed for me to get these .
  • Managed to get a pair in obsidian before they sold out, was worried the fit would run large compared to Geos but they are good for me
  • I'm new to barefoot shoes and the sizing is really tripping my out, usually i'm a US 10.5 and it's caused my sizing to be completely confused on which to order for this shoes (returning won't be an option because of where i live).
  • @thirdmort
    I just got a pair for Christmas and I think I should have sized down. I ordered a size 11 (based off the print out chart) but it's really loose unless I wear winter socks with it. I wish I had a place to compare a size 10 before I go through the whole process of returning and reordering...
  • @johnnm951
    Thoughts about these Asana's vs Primus Lite Knits? Also - I'm perfect width wise in a 41 of Primus Trail III AW with no real play in the heel - though plenty of toe box (read: length) room. For both Asana's and Knits you talk about extra length and sizing down. If I'm good width wise in 41, I'm a bit nervous to size down even though width is plenty already - tried 40 in the Trail III AW and they were definitely snug, and just barely touching toe on the front. Thoughts on sizing?
  • Are the vivobarefoot primus trail fg ii's good training and running shoes and are they more of a transition shoe than a true barefoot shoe?
  • @RagnarHoff
    Asked you before regarding the Motus strength model, but how does this wear compared to Primus Lite? That model is way too long for the size.
  • @allanbanuelos
    Which brand do you prefer fluxfootwear or vivobarefoot ?
  • @GrowInTheDark
    I like vivos but they make the shoes so long and not wide enough. :(
