Re)new and improved- remade with more sustainable materials that have reduced the impact this footwear has on the planet. Personally, I would love to see improvements for the next Primus Trail models as this shoe does have areas where its performance falls short.

Another perk to this shoe is that I think it’s a pretty good intro model for the barefoot enthusiast who is wanting to wear this style of shoe for more hikes and trail runs. Made using a recycled all-weather mesh textile to create high-performance footwear that's at home in colder conditions on untouched terrain. Our finest reconditioned footwear is ‘like new’, showing very few signs of wear and will be ready for a newpair of feet. My first initial feeling in these shoes was that although the shoe is wide as predicted and designed, the upper is quite low and the mesh on the toes quite stiff meaning the toes don’t have a lot of wiggle room upwards.And even though it may add unnecessary ounces, most of the upper is reinforced with panels and cross braces of recycled rubber. However, other users mentioned that it might get too hot during the intense summer heat, though they still enjoy running with them without socks. Grass, soft woodland loam and gravel paths are the natural environment for the Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG, and they’re a pleasure to wear in these environments. Considering their molded nature, these shoes are like the vast majority of others in that they will not be repairable. Reviewers state that the shoes are water-resistant and offer proper traction on varying trails and terrains.

Made using a recycled all-weather mesh textile to create high-performance footwear that’s at home in colder conditions on untouched terrain. During a challenging 50km trail run like The Guzzler I felt the Primus Trail gave me ample support and allowed me to run over five hours feeling supported and performing well.A question that I’ve received a few times on my YouTube channel is in regard to how the Primus Lite III compared to the Primus Trail II FG. The upper mesh is super flexible, and Vivo appear to have put some extra stitching where the mesh meets the more substantial side plastic in this area. If you have any questions about barefoot running or anything at all just drop it down below (or any of my social medias) and I’ll be glad to get back to you ASAP! Continuously improved through athlete testing and material innovation, the Primus Trail II FG has nothing more or less than exactly what you need – all with high-performance, recycled, animal-free materials. These will be in good condition, butwill proudly show their repairs and their new replacement soles as they arelovingly reconditioned to meet the demands of another pair of feet.

Also, considering the amount of traction they give, you still feel the ground rather than the treads. With trail shoes that have lower lugs, you’ll always be capped when tackling different grades on more technical terrain. While it may not be as breathable during hot summers, it stands up well to both hot and cold conditions. The level of comfort on offer – especially considering the low-profile nature of the design – is also impressive, and makes the shoe comfortable enough for long days.The lugs on this model will be more than enough on surfaces that don’t require a ton of tread to maintain traction. Re)new and improved- remade with recycled materials that have reduced this impact this footwear has on the planet. The sole is rigid and not as flexible as previous Vivobarefoot shoes I’ve worn, however this is a good feature as the ground feel is still there, but due to rigidness gives great protection and comfort when running on hard, sharp surfaces. After the first few runs, when our sockless test dummy began to get the beginnings of blisters on the tops of his big and little toes (where the upper surface of the shoe creases as the toes flex forwards), he applied some lube and his skin soon became accustomed to the shoes.
