Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for people new to barefoot footwear?

While the design promotes natural movement, individuals new to barefoot shoes may need a transition period. Start with short wear times and gradually increase them to allow your feet and body to adapt.

What is the primary benefit of the knit upper?

The knit upper, made from materials like Tencel™, provides a highly breathable, flexible, and form-fitting sock-like experience for enhanced comfort and natural foot adaptation.

Can I wear these for long-distance running?

These trainers are best suited for short to medium distances, especially for runners accustomed to minimalist footwear. For very long distances or if you require significant cushioning, these may not be the ideal choice.

How should I clean my Primus Lite Knit Natural trainers?

Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

What is the purpose of the zero-drop sole?

A zero-drop sole means there is no difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This design promotes a more natural foot strike and posture.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but will not keep feet dry in heavy rain or water immersion.

What makes these trainers 'natural'?

The 'Natural' designation refers to their minimalist, barefoot-like construction that allows feet to move and feel the ground naturally, combined with the use of more natural and sustainable materials in the upper.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

This is common for the first few wears. Gradually increase wear time to allow the knit material to stretch and mold to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size; refer to the sizing guide.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for versatility. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can affect traction.

Wear on the knit upper

Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp objects. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh scrubbing.
