FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Vivobarefoot Primus Trail Knit Trainers can be worn for everyday activities, especially if you enjoy a natural feel and comfortable fit. However, they are specifically engineered for trail performance.

How do I clean the knit upper?

Gently wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse lightly and allow to air dry.

What is the main benefit of the thin, flexible sole?

The thin, flexible sole promotes natural foot movement, strengthens foot muscles, and improves proprioception (your sense of body position), leading to better balance and agility.

Can I use these for road running?

While possible, these trainers are optimized for firm ground trails. For extensive road running, a shoe designed specifically for that surface might offer better durability and cushioning.

How does the quick-lace system work?

The system uses durable laces and two toggles. Pulling both toggles upwards tightens the laces, while pressing down on them releases the tension for easy adjustment.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The knit upper is highly breathable, which means they are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.

What does 'Primus Trail Knit FG' mean?

'Primus' refers to the initial model, 'Trail' indicates its purpose, 'Knit' describes the upper material, and 'FG' stands for Firm Ground, specifying the intended terrain for optimal grip.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty tightening/loosening laces

Ensure the toggles are fully depressed when loosening or fully engaged when tightening. Check laces for any knots or snags that might impede movement.

Trail debris getting inside

The sock-like ankle cuff is designed to minimize debris. Ensure the laces are tightened snugly around the foot. If debris is persistent, consider using gaiters.

Reduced grip on wet or muddy surfaces

The hexagonal lug pattern is optimized for firm ground. While it offers some grip on varied surfaces, extreme mud or slick conditions may reduce effectiveness. Clean the lugs after use to maintain optimal performance.

Discomfort during initial wear

This is common for users new to barefoot footwear. Gradually increase wear time, starting with shorter walks, to allow your feet to adapt to the natural movement and reduced cushioning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Promotes natural foot movement and strengthens foot muscles.
Excellent grip and stability on firm and uneven trails.
Highly breathable knit upper keeps feet cool and dry.
Lightweight and comfortable for long-distance activities.
Quick-lace system for convenient on-the-fly adjustments.
Eco-conscious design using recycled materials.

Cons

May require a transition period for users accustomed to traditional cushioned shoes.
Thin sole offers less protection against sharp objects on extremely rough terrain.
Water resistance may be limited due to the breathable knit upper.
The sock-like fit might not suit everyone's ankle preference.
Specific grey/red colourway may not match all activewear aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Utilize the quick-lace system by pulling the toggles to tighten the laces for a secure fit, and pressing the toggles to loosen them. Adjust as needed for comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for firm ground trail running, hiking, and general outdoor exploration. They are suitable for adult women seeking a barefoot feel. For optimal performance and longevity, they are best used on natural terrain like trails, paths, and light off-road conditions.

Care: To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and sole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials. Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently on the sole.
