FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Primus Lite Knit trainers are designed for barefoot performance and can be used for running, especially by those accustomed to minimalist or barefoot running. However, they offer minimal cushioning and support, so an adaptation period is recommended.

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

The key difference is the barefoot design: zero-drop sole, wide toe box, and flexibility, promoting natural foot function. They lack the cushioning and structured support found in conventional trainers.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot length from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the provided size guide to find your corresponding UK size.

Can I wear these shoes without socks?

Yes, the breathable Tencel™ blend upper and cork footbed are designed to be comfortable against the skin, allowing for sockless wear.

What does 'zero-drop' mean?

Zero-drop means there is no difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This encourages a more natural foot strike and posture.

How durable is the knitted upper?

The knitted upper, made from a blend including Tencel™, is designed for flexibility and breathability. While durable for everyday activities, it can be susceptible to snags from sharp objects.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Primus Lite Knit trainers are not waterproof. The textile upper is breathable but will allow water to pass through.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Remove the insoles for a more spacious feel.

Slight discomfort in the arch area.

This may be due to the zero-drop and minimalist design. Gradually increase wear time. Consider consulting a podiatrist if discomfort persists.

Upper material feels delicate.

Avoid contact with sharp objects, rough surfaces, or abrasive materials that could snag or tear the Tencel™ blend upper.

Insoles absorb moisture and odors.

Remove insoles regularly and air them out. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
