FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, Vivobarefoot shoes, including the Primus Lite IV, are designed with a wide toe box to allow for natural toe splay, making them suitable for many with wider feet.

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

The adaptation period varies greatly among individuals. Some may adjust within days, while others might take a few weeks. It's crucial to transition gradually and listen to your body.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the materials are breathable, they are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion is not recommended. Ensure they dry thoroughly afterward.

What is the main difference between Primus Lite IV and other trainers?

The Primus Lite IV is a barefoot shoe with a zero-drop sole, wide toe box, and extreme flexibility, designed to mimic natural foot function. Traditional trainers often have elevated heels, narrower toe boxes, and are less flexible.

How do I clean the off-white colour to keep it looking fresh?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be effective. Always air dry away from direct heat to preserve the material.

Are these vegan trainers?

Yes, the Primus Lite IV utilizes vegan materials, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Initial discomfort when walking or running

This is common when transitioning to barefoot shoes. Start with short durations and gradually increase wear time. Focus on proper barefoot form.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Vivobarefoot shoes are designed to be wide, so ensure your toes have room to splay. Adjust lacing for a secure but not restrictive fit.

Squeaking noise during movement

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder may also help.
