FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the comfortable knit upper and minimalist design make them suitable for casual, everyday wear, especially for those who prefer a barefoot feel.

How do I clean the knit upper?

Gently clean the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or high-pressure water.

What does 'FG' stand for in Primus Trail Knit FG?

FG stands for 'Firm Ground', indicating the sole is designed for use on natural, dry, and firm terrain.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The knit upper will allow water to pass through, so they are not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but your feet will get wet. They dry relatively quickly due to the breathable material.

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

The Primus Trail Knit FG features a knit upper for increased breathability and a more adaptive, sock-like fit, while the original Primus Trail FG typically uses a more traditional synthetic upper.

Are these trainers good for people new to barefoot running/walking?

They can be, but a gradual transition period is highly recommended to allow your feet and body to adapt to the minimalist design and increased ground feel.

What are the shoes made from?

The upper is made from recycled knit materials. Specific material composition for other parts can be found in detailed product specifications.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or constricting.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The knit upper is designed to be snug; allow a short adaptation period for your feet to get used to the fit.

Debris still entering the shoe.

The sock-like construction is designed to minimize entry. For extremely dusty or sandy conditions, consider using gaiters in conjunction with the trainers.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

The FG (Firm Ground) sole is optimized for dry and natural surfaces. For very wet or slippery conditions, slower speeds and careful footing are recommended.

Discomfort after initial wear.

This is common when transitioning to barefoot footwear. Start with shorter durations of wear and gradually increase as your feet and body adapt. Consult the brand's guidance on barefoot adaptation if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced breathability for comfort during activity.
  • Minimalist design promotes natural foot movement and ground feel.
  • Made with recycled materials, aligning with eco-conscious values.
  • Effective at preventing small debris from entering the shoe.
  • Lightweight construction enhances agility on trails.

Cons

  • Minimal cushioning may require an adaptation period for new users.
  • The knit upper might be less resistant to abrasion from rough terrain compared to robust materials.
  • Limited insulation for very cold conditions.
  • Specific sizing might require careful measurement for optimal fit.
  • May not provide the same level of arch support as traditional trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use with no break-in period required for the fit, though your body may need time to adapt to the barefoot feel. Ensure you have the correct size by measuring your foot and comparing it to the Vivobarefoot sizing guide.

Compatibility: Suitable for various trail surfaces including dirt paths, gravel, and light mud. Not recommended for highly technical or extremely muddy terrain where aggressive lug patterns are necessary.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe down the upper and sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
