*UPDATE:* I finally have an affiliate link for these shoes - tidd.ly/3g03mUA so if you want to do me a massive favour if your purchasing them go via that link :D Just an update I now have the Tracker Decon Low FG2's which are also BUT i'm still using these as well because they are going strong and great for warmer days, gym days or walks around town.

Great review, thank you. I have a pair or Vivobarefoot which I love but would love the all weather ones coming into autumn but agree they are so damn expensive!

The sole separating from the upper seems to be hit or miss with Vivo's. I have some pairs I've worn tons for 2 years+ and have no issue, but one other pair seems to be plagued by it. Fortunately it doesn't seem too common and I'm overall happy with the use and wear I get from my pairs.

Yeah strange isn't it! My FG ones were tough as anything and my last primus lites didn't have this probelem. I agree on the whole it's worth it for me 👍

My all weather Primus trail 2 have both split at the toe bend area. I’ve only had them since May, I do walk 4 miles and workout in them 5 days a week. However for the price I’m very disappointed. The original Primus lites I had lasted nearly 3 years and only the soles eventually wore out.

Hi! My only doubt is if they keep warm in the winter months. I always have cold feet.... I normally use very normal nike sneakers. Can these primus lite all weathers be compared to normal sneakers (nike, vans...) in terms of protection from the cold? Thank you!

@alexreader

Жыл бұрын

Becuase they are super thin and flexible in all areas its pretty tough in the cold still even with these. Better than the normal primus lites but still cold. The tracker decons I find another step up in terms of warmth and having been wearing those through the winter, which has been mostly successful. Sometimes with thick socks. Hope that helps, maybe check out my tracker decon video they might be better!

Have you had to fully clean them yet? I've had mine for approximately 1 month and worn them most days and have been really enjoying them but they are starting to smell a bit (likely to do with the warm weather we've been enjoying recently) - I think due the water resistant materials used, there's maybe not as much breathability as the regular versions.

@@spursmanmatt ah lovely, weather has been amazing! Yeah I did 20 mins at 30° with hand wash liquid. Had no problem with the sole or anything afterwards and even the glue repair I did was all fine. But I guess it's probably not recommended to wash them ha

I’m thinking about getting these shoes but the durability is bothering me a bit after seeing you use Gorilla glue. Did the shoes come apart again? I think UHU Glue works good as well. I don’t know why VIVO doesn’t stitch the sole onto the upper for reinforcement. Perhaps it’s wise to make sure your toenails are cutback regularly and you wear silicone toe spacers to splay the toes better inside the shoe, which might help keep the toes from digging into the shoe material when walking or running, so they don’t fall apart. Great review!

@alexreader

That's exactly what I thought about the stitching. But they have started to do that with a couple of models like the tracker decons, one reason I really like those. But no they didn't come apart again 🥳

I'm thinking of getting a pair to replace a worn pair of Kannas that I wore without socks in the summer for 3 years (I washed them often). They fit like a slipper. Have you worn your Primus All Weather's without socks in warm weather, and if so, do you get too warm? Is there anything, such as a seam, rubbing on the top of your foot?

I can't wrap around idea of a shoe with barely any cushion to absorb the daily impact of walking let's say on concrete floors all day which ultimately could strengten your lower back and hips...

@alexreader

The idea is without the cushioning it forces your feet to do more work and thus makes them stronger over time

Hi i am planning to buy my first barefoot shoes. Can u pls suggest whether should I go with the standard Primus or I can also go with trail fg? My usage is mainly for gym and walking. Thought I don't like that goofy toe shape of the Primus lites😅

I got a lot of stick for the weird shape of them to start with but now I love them and they are becoming more "fashionable"! I'd personally go with the trail FG version, I think you get near the same ground, feel, flexibility and lightness but they just seem much more durable and versatile. Both are nice though 👌 let me know what you go for!

Hi i am buying the trail 2 FG all weather black colour. But i have read some reviews that after some time they develop cracks near the tip area. Do u have any idea? And my feet length is 27cm so should I go for 28.2cm length or 28.9 cm length?

@alexreader

Жыл бұрын

@@marsstrucktraveller7277 is that these ones - tidd.ly/3CvBfoR? I've not experienced that on my primus lite all weathers and the upper looks very similar. But is that cracks in the outsole? I've also had the normal trail's with that FG sole and they lasted me a very long time! In terms of the sizing i'd think about when and what your going to be using them for, because you could probably go for either. If your wearing them in warmer conditions or to do exercise your feet are going to swell a bit. But if your wearing them in colder conditions where your not exercising maybe the smaller size might work. Also sock thickness might be something to think about. But overall seems the 29.9cm might be the better option.
