How to Wear Vivobarefoot: Trail to Street, Orchard Road to Off-Road
Minimalist shoes aren’t just for the mountain goats among us. Vivobarefoot is proof that footwear designed to strengthen your feet can also flex some serious style game. Whether you’re lacing up the Vivobarefoot Primus Trail for Bukit Timah Hill or sliding into the Geo Court III for a day of shopping and kopi runs, these kicks can take you from off-road to Orchard Road without missing a step.
Here’s how to style your Vivobarefoot shoes like a pro—because good design deserves a good fit with the rest of your wardrobe.
Go hard on the trail and get maximum ground feel or switch it up and hit town with these versatile, performance-driven white sneakers.
1. Trailblazer Chic
If your weekend involves mud, sweat, and singletrack trails, start with the Vivobarefoot Primus Trail Knit FG. Pair them with quick-dry T8 Sherpa shorts, a breezy District Vision tee, and a technical cap to keep the Singapore sun at bay. Throw on a lightweight trail vest for snacks and electrolytes, and you’re Instagram-ready for those summit selfies.
Pro tip: Up your sock game with these understated but performance-heavy Bandit Running socks to highlight the shoe’s sleek silhouette—minimalist doesn’t mean boring.

2. Orchard Road Smart-Casual
Think of the Vivobarefoot Geo Court III as the sneakerhead’s minimalist upgrade. Clean lines, supple leather, and that barefoot feel. Match them with tapered chinos, a crisp camp-collar shirt, and sunnies that say “I brunch at PS.Cafe, but I also deadlift.”
A white sneaker is always a cheat code for smart-casual dressing.
