FAQs

How do I know if these shoes are right for me?

If you are looking to reconnect with the ground, strengthen your feet, and enjoy a more natural running or walking experience, these shoes could be suitable. An adjustment period is typically needed if you are accustomed to traditional, cushioned footwear.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The knit upper offers some flexibility, but the overall fit is designed for natural foot shape. Consider trying them on if possible, as the width can be accommodating due to the material's adaptability.

What is the difference between Primus Trail Knit FG and the original Primus Trail FG?

The Primus Trail Knit FG features an updated knit upper for enhanced breathability and a sock-like fit, while the original Primus Trail FG typically has a more traditional synthetic upper.

How long does the adaptation period usually take?

This varies greatly depending on the individual and their previous footwear. It can range from a few days to several weeks. Listen to your body and start gradually.

Can I use these for general fitness or gym workouts?

Yes, their flexibility and ground feel make them suitable for many gym activities, including weightlifting and bodyweight exercises, where a stable, natural base is beneficial.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer or Vivobarefoot's official website for the most up-to-date warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

This is common during the initial adaptation period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure they are not laced too tightly, as the knit upper offers a snug fit.

Reduced grip on wet or muddy surfaces

The FG sole is designed for firm ground. For more challenging, slippery conditions, consider alternative tread patterns or be extra cautious. Clean the sole regularly to maintain optimal grip.

Debris entering the shoe

While the sock-like construction helps, very fine debris might still enter. Ensure the knit upper is snug around your ankle. Consider wearing gaiters for extremely dusty or debris-heavy trails.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes natural foot movement and strengthens foot muscles.
  • Excellent ground feel for enhanced proprioception.
  • Breathable knit upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Made with recycled materials for environmental consciousness.
  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue.

Cons

  • Minimalist sole offers less cushioning, requiring an adaptation period.
  • May not provide sufficient support for individuals accustomed to highly structured shoes.
  • FG sole is optimized for firm ground; performance may vary on very soft or rocky terrain.
  • Durability on aggressive terrain might be a concern for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have transitioned gradually to barefoot-style footwear to allow your feet and body to adapt.

Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) sole is best suited for dry, firm, and slightly technical trails, roads, and light hiking paths. They are compatible with most types of athletic socks or can be worn sockless.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
