VIVOBAREFOOT Primus Trail II FG All Weather, Mens Off-Road Shoe with Barefoot Firm Ground Sole

Product Information

One of the areas where the Primus Trail II FG excels is on trails and hikes that would be considered light or easy terrain. The lugs on this model will be more than enough on surfaces that don’t require a ton of tread to maintain traction. I like this shoe most for dirt trails since they’re generally fairly flat in the context of the terrain you’ll encounter.

However, the amount of flex on offer here does pose a bit of a challenge when a stable platform is needed. Even on steep grassy slopes there’s no chance of seriously digging in, it’s all about working with the terrain rather than fighting it – fine in everyday situations, but potentially concerning on steeper, more exposed terrain. Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG Review: verdictIf you have additional Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG sizing and fit questions, drop a comment below and I’ll try to help accordingly. Price Breakdown Over the course of my testing, I tried to use the Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG on a variety of trails and hikes to help contextualize where they perform the best and where they fall short. My problem is that Vivo doesn’t offer half sizes for a US 10.5. Wondering if you think a US 11 would fit right? Re)new and improved- remade with more sustainable materials that have reduced this impact this footwear has on the planet. 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. These questions are mostly asked by folks who want a shoe for outdoor activities, but also a model that they can train in.

Vivo appear to be making a real effort to go beyond greenwashing, and also source their labor ethically. These efforts undoubtedly push the price up a little, but compared to some other running shoes, the price tag on the Primus Trail is not extreme. The last thing to like about this model is the breathability of the upper construction and how easy they are to clean. This shoe is designed with sustainable materials and the upper is composed of a lightweight mesh build. If you’re using these in warmer climates, then I think you’ll enjoy how well these shoes breathe. There are not many significant updates when comparing the Primus Trail II All Weather with the Primus Trail II FG . Most reviewers of the Primus Trail II All Weather FG say that the shoes offer great durability and comfort during the colder weather, though, along with improved foot protection. This is compared to the Primus Trail II FG, which is more suitable for less intense weather. I’d say size a little bit up, but I personally like a tight shoe – as long as your toes aren’t touching the end you’re good. You want about 1 thumb-length from your big toe to the end of the shoe in terms of extra space.

Swarovski NL Pure10x42 review: sensational high-end binoculars for wildlife spotting and spectator sports If you’re someone that wants to save a little money and you want to go the barefoot trail shoe route, then you might want to look into the Xero Shoes Mesa Trail model. This model will cost you less and deliver a similar performance to the Primus Trail II FG. The upper material is made from a hybrid mix of materials including recycled materials , reusing post-consumer plastic waste that keeps this material from ending up on landfills. The upper is comfortable and durable. 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. After some time in the shoes this feeling of the upper did loosen as the upper material stretched with use. In terms of an issue with the fit of the shoe this is where it started and finished, otherwise the fit of the shoe is comfort personified. The upper material is very durable and after more than 1000km, with a number of runs in very wet and muddy condition the Primus Trail is still very similar to it’s original condition.

I personally think this is a good thing because it adds to this shoe’s ability to protect the feet and not beat them up while also giving you enough to simulate being barefoot. This model has a 2.5mm base sole with 4mm lugs which work really well on light and moderately technical trails. The Primus Trail II All Weather FG shoes are recycled all-weather mesh textile for their rs and soles. It has no animal products included in the shoes, making it vegan-friendly.Overall, the Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG is a great shoe for casual rambles and around town, or in other words, a trail shoe for the environmentally conscious. A combination that will suit many right down to the ground… Rewild and reconnect. Primus Trail II FG is durable, flexible and vegan. Made with recycled high performance materials, to create lightweight and breathable footwear for the great outdoors. Letting you move naturally on the trail, closer to nature. 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.

Having already done a Vivobarefoot Primus Trail review (which I loved), I was very keen to try the new Primus Trail 2 All-Weather / winter which Vivobarefoot launched. The Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG is a fairly good trail running and hiking barefoot shoe. This model excels for more casual hikes and trails where the terrain is not super technical or loose. The first thing to like about the Primus Trail II FG is that it provides adequate foot protection on different types of trails. The “FG” in the name of this model stands for “Firm Ground” which is a means of classifying particular soles used in some Vivobarefoot Shoes. The FG in this model basically adds to this shoe’s protection and gives you a slightly more stiff sole to walk on.While the lugs on the Primus Trail II FG may not be the best for technical trails, they’re not so jarring that they impact lifting and stability in the gym. That being said, I think if you want one of these models for hikes and trail runs that can also double as a good shoe in the gym, then you should go with the Primus Trail II FG.
