VIVOBAREFOOT Primus Trail II FG All Weather, Mens Off-Road Shoe with Barefoot Firm Ground Sole
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
The Vivobarefoot Primus Trail FG II is the specific trail running shoe from the British minimal shoe pioneers. It is built on the basis of the Vivobarefoot philosophy ofbeingwide, thin and flexible and as close to barefoot as possible. 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. Of course, performance levels will depend a lot on who is in the driving seat, because with a true barefoot shoot like this, it comes down to reading the trail well and intelligent foot placement – which is what natural running is all about, so that’s not a negative.
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… 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. I’m considering a new trail shoe that also can double as a solid all around gym/weightlifting shoe. Which shoe would you recommend for best performance for both occasions: the vivobarefoot primus trail 2 fg or Xero mesa trail? 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.

Performance Comparison
The Vivobarefoot Primus Trail II FG should fit true-to-size for most trail and hiking enthusiasts. This model has more than enough width and its length fits pretty true. However, I’d definitely suggest using Vivobarefoot’s sizing tool before investing in this model. Montane Women’s Tucana Pants are a wardrobe staple for year-round comfort whilst walking and exploring
Adidas Terrex Agravic Ultra trail running shoes review: built to keep on going and going and going… 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. Furthermore, its wide toe box helps with users’ natural foot movement. Consumers also say the toe box adds to its comfort, feeling flat, flexible, and wide. Fit and SizingHey! For the Trail, I’ve actually changed my thoughts on their sizing as I’ve worn them more, especially for longer hikes. I’d suggest going up a half size in the Trail as it runs a little shorter compared to the Primus Lite and Geo Racer! Re)new and improved- remade with more sustainable materials that have reduced the impact this footwear has on the planet. 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 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.
Review Summary
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? Behind the lugs, the shoes have a 2.5mm base, which is designed to maximise ground feel, while the textured arch should provide zonal grip for technical trail movement. 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. 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.
