FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Primus Trail Knit has a standard fit. While the knit upper offers some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. Consider trying them on if possible.

How long does it take to get used to barefoot shoes?

The adaptation period varies greatly among individuals, typically ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Start with short walks and gradually increase duration and intensity.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The knit upper is breathable and may not be fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain might result in wet feet. Ensure they are dried thoroughly afterward.

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

The Primus Trail Knit focuses on enhanced breathability and a sock-like fit for general trail and urban use. The FG (Firm Ground) models typically have a more aggressive outsole for specific terrain conditions.

Are the insoles waterproof?

The insoles are designed for comfort and can be removed. They are not waterproof but are made from man-made materials and should be air-dried if they get wet.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While versatile, the primary design is for natural movement on trails and pavements. For specific gym activities requiring lateral stability or heavy lifting, other footwear might be more appropriate. However, they can be suitable for general fitness activities where ground feel is desired.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have the correct size. If transitioning to barefoot shoes, try removing the insoles for a more minimalist feel and allow your feet time to adapt gradually.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for versatility. For maximum grip on very wet or slippery surfaces, proceed with caution and be mindful of the terrain.

Debris entering the shoe

The sock-like construction helps minimize this. Ensure the shoe is laced appropriately for a snug fit around the ankle. For very dusty or sandy conditions, consider gaiters.

Knit upper shows signs of wear

Avoid abrasive surfaces where possible. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor snags, try to gently smooth them down rather than pulling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes natural foot movement and posture.
  • Excellent ground feel for enhanced proprioception.
  • Lightweight and highly breathable for comfort.
  • Versatile for both trail running and everyday wear.
  • Sustainable construction using recycled materials.

Cons

  • Requires an adaptation period for those new to barefoot footwear.
  • May offer less cushioning than traditional trainers, which some users may prefer.
  • The knit upper, while breathable, might offer less protection against significant impacts.
  • Durability on extremely rugged terrain might be a concern for intense use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use. Simply ensure you have the correct size. If you prefer a more minimalist feel, the insoles can be easily removed.

Compatibility: The Primus Trail Knit is compatible with various terrains, from light trails to urban environments. They are suitable for individuals accustomed to or transitioning to barefoot footwear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Insoles: If removed for cleaning, ensure they are also air-dried completely before reinserting.
