FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Primus Trail Knit features a standard fit. While the knit upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find other Vivobarefoot models more accommodating.

How do I transition to barefoot shoes?

Transition gradually. Start with short periods of wear for low-impact activities like walking. Focus on relearning natural foot mechanics. Listen to your body and increase duration slowly to avoid injury.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The knit upper is breathable, which means it will absorb water. While they dry relatively quickly, they are not waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider water-specific footwear.

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

The 'FG' in Primus Trail Knit FG typically indicates a slightly different outsole pattern or construction for enhanced grip on specific terrains, while the Knit version emphasizes breathability and a sock-like fit.

How durable is the knit upper?

The knit upper is designed for breathability and flexibility. While durable for regular trail and urban use, it may be more susceptible to snagging or abrasion from extremely sharp objects compared to a more robust synthetic material.

Do these shoes have arch support?

No, Vivobarefoot shoes, including the Primus Trail Knit, are designed to promote natural foot function and do not include built-in arch support. The foot's own musculature is encouraged to strengthen.

Troubleshooting

New to barefoot shoes, experiencing discomfort

This is common. Gradually increase wear time, starting with short walks. Focus on proper barefoot gait mechanics and consult resources on barefoot training.

Shoes feel too loose or lack support

Ensure you have the correct size. If still an issue, try reinserting the insoles or considering socks with a snugger fit. For significant support needs, barefoot shoes may not be the ideal solution.

Knit upper feels overly flexible for certain tasks

These shoes prioritize natural movement. For activities requiring significant lateral support or protection against impact, consider specialized footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes natural foot movement and posture.
  • Highly breathable knit upper enhances comfort during activity.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue.
  • Durable design suitable for varied terrain.
  • Made with recycled materials, appealing to eco-conscious consumers.

Cons

  • Requires an adaptation period for those accustomed to traditional shoes.

  • Zero-drop sole may not be suitable for all individuals or activities without proper conditioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have chosen the correct size for optimal barefoot performance. The removable insoles can be taken out if you prefer an even more direct ground feel or need to clean them separately.

Compatibility:

Primus Trail Knit trainers are designed for a standard fit and are compatible with most foot types, especially those looking to transition to barefoot footwear. They are suitable for a range of activities including running, walking, and general fitness.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  • Insoles: Remove insoles for separate cleaning and to speed up drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
