FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Vivobarefoot shoes are designed with a wide, foot-shaped toe box to allow for natural toe splay, which generally accommodates wider feet well. However, the knit upper offers some flexibility, but it's always best to check specific fit guides or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these for running?

Yes, the Primus Trail Knit FG is designed as a trail running shoe. Its grip, flexibility, and lightweight nature make it suitable for running, especially for those who prefer a barefoot or minimalist running style.

How do I clean the yellow sole?

The golden yellow sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from the hexagonal tread pattern. Rinse with clean water and air dry.

What is the purpose of the hexagonal tread?

The hexagonal tread pattern is inspired by natural forms and is engineered to provide excellent multi-directional grip and traction on a variety of terrains, enhancing stability and confidence during outdoor activities.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Primus Trail Knit FG features a breathable mesh upper and is not designed to be waterproof. They are water-resistant to some degree but will allow water to pass through if submerged. They are designed for breathability and quick drying.

What does 'FG' stand for in the product name?

FG typically stands for 'Firm Ground', indicating that the sole is optimized for traction on dry, hard, and sometimes slightly damp natural surfaces like packed earth or grass.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.

Loosen the laces, especially around the forefoot, to allow for natural toe splay. Ensure you are wearing the correct size; consider the natural width of your foot.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.

The hexagonal tread provides good grip, but extremely wet or slippery surfaces may require slower movement. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris.

Debris getting into the shoe despite sock-like construction.

Ensure the ankle collar is fitting snugly against your leg. Consider wearing higher socks or using gaiters for additional protection on very dusty or sandy terrain.

Discomfort during initial wear.

Vivobarefoot shoes often require a transition period for feet to adapt to the minimalist design. Start with shorter walks and gradually increase duration. Focus on proper barefoot walking technique.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional breathability due to the engineered mesh upper.
  • Excellent grip and traction on various surfaces thanks to the hexagonal tread.
  • Comfortable, sock-like fit that helps prevent debris entry.
  • Lightweight construction promotes natural foot movement.
  • Stylish, contemporary design suitable for both active and casual wear.
  • Made with recycled materials, appealing to eco-conscious consumers.

Cons

  • Minimalist sole may require an adjustment period for users accustomed to cushioned shoes.
  • Laces might require frequent re-tying if not secured properly.
  • The light color of the upper could be prone to visible dirt and stains.
  • Durability of the knit material on rough trails could be a concern for some.
  • Limited arch support might not be suitable for individuals needing significant foot correction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you lace them appropriately for a secure yet comfortable fit, allowing your toes to splay naturally. The sock-like construction means you simply slip them on.

Compatibility: The Primus Trail Knit FG is designed for a wide range of surfaces, including trails, roads, and gym environments. They are compatible with most sock types, or can be worn sockless due to the comfortable interior lining.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the mesh upper and sole with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Laces: Hand wash laces separately if needed. Ensure they are fully dry before re-lacing.
