FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Primus Lite Knit Natural trainers?

The primary benefit is the enhanced natural movement and ground feel they provide, promoting better foot strength and proprioception due to their minimalist, flexible design.

Are these trainers suitable for beginners to barefoot running?

While they offer a great barefoot feel, beginners should transition gradually to avoid injury. Start with short walks or runs and gradually increase duration and intensity as your feet and body adapt.

How do I clean the knitted upper?

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the knitted upper. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is primarily made from a blend of 92% Tencel™, 7% Hotmelt, and 1% Roica for a comfortable, sock-like fit.

What is the main difference from previous Primus Lite models?

This version features a knitted sock upper made with Tencel™ for an even more natural, flexible, and comfortable fit.

Can I wear these with socks?

Many users prefer to wear them sockless to maximize the barefoot feel. However, thin, performance socks can also be worn if preferred.

What is the expected lifespan of the shoes?

Lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity, and terrain. Regular cleaning and proper care will help maximize their durability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

This is common with minimalist shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow your feet to adapt. Ensure the laces are not overtightened.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for natural feel, which can affect grip on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Stiff knitted upper

The Hotmelt elements in the upper provide structure. The knit will soften and mold to your foot with wear. Ensure correct sizing; a shoe that is too small will feel stiffer.
