Have you experienced the all weather version of the primus? Wondering if the quality is similar to the vivo tracker - how the synthetic material compares to the leather
I've been really enjoying your content. You've helped me wrap my head around this whole ultralight backpacking thing better than many others. I'm looking for a new pair of minimalist to try and this video came at just the right time. Thanks for the great content.
As a trail runner, I think I’m confused about is why are they so heavy and I noticed a lot of the minimal two barefoot trail shoes are heavy than a regular shoe. It’s interesting they can lighten anything up that would be the greatest trail shoe ever but for me, it’s a minimal to short distance I want to go really long and real fast. I’m gonna go in something lighter usually that’s when I go with sandals.
i've used the prio but never considered them supportive enough for a long trail.. i guess it depends on your baseweight enjoying your content & lookin forward to your CDT.. you must be hyped! ATB
Great video. Considering buying the Primus Trail FG III all-weather but not sure what the differences are between the Primus Trail FG II. Any recommendation?
Im glad to know the lack of stitching on the sole isn't a problem. I bought the Vivobarefoot Decon Low because the sole is stitched and glued. However they don't breathe well for desert conditions, and they are heavier than the Primus Trail, maybe too heavy for a barefoot sneaker.
Hola amigo, me has convencido me voy a comprar un par de estas Vivobarefoot. Hasta ahora solo he caminado y corrido con las Vibram FiveFingers, (durante los ultimos dos años). A ver que tal me sientan la Vivobarefoot. Las FiveFingers tienen la suela mucho mas delgada. Un saludo, y enhorabuena por tu canal. Ya tienen otro seguidor.
Enjoyed the vid. How much space do you have at the front of your toe? Ive ordered a pair and im not sure how much free space i should allow for multiday hikes.
Thank you for the video. Did you have to size up versus your normal size? If yes, how did it feel? It seems to be a very common problem with vivo owners.
I also wear barefoot shoes, the company I tend to prefer overall is Vivobarefoot. I have been wondering if it is possible to long distance hike in barefoot shoes. I don't want to change my footwear style for a thru hike. Thanks for this video! 👍
Por supuesto, yo es lo que hago con mis Vibram FiveFingers que son prácticamente descalzas. Así, que con estos Vivo Primus que tienen mas altura al suelo y protección, no deberías de tener problemas.
What do you like to wear for socks with these? I'm planning to make the switch to barefoot shoes this year and wondering if my beloved Darn Toughs can do the job or if I'll need to replace them.
@@chrismichael1161 in my experience darn tough socks are too narrow in the toe area just like most other socks. They negate the benefits of having a wide toebox in the first place. I prefer to either use toe socks or 50 denier women's nylon socks. The nylon socks are particularly good because you can just Wade through rivers and puddles without care as they won't really hold much water and dry damn quick. I'm completely anti goretex for hiking outside of snow season, and normally wear the most breathable shoe possible with extremely minimal socks.

do you suggest hiking with the normal classic primus lites that are used for road-running?
Have you tried the all-weather version? What are your thoughts that variation?

finally lmao ive been looking for a review about these shoes and whether or not they dry quick or not. thank you!
Do you wear socks with these shoes? If so, what kind?
How well do these perform on smooth and damp rocks and larger boulders?
Enjoyed your Arizona trail content. Looking forward to seeing your CDT hike

I think you got the good out of those, Waldo. Haha!
Have you tried the newer number 3 version yet? If so what which one would you recommend?
What socks do you wear with them please? (I’m from the UK)
This will be my next purchase, thank you friend. I'd love to hike with you if you return to the states

Absolutely, as long as you’re used to wearing barefoot shoes. I always hike in Vivo’s in the BC mountains

My last 300 miles!
How true are they for size? Thanks
Sorry for slow response. I wear size EU 43 but my true foot may be more like 42. They fit very nicely.

I always wear my Darn Toughs with my barefoot shoes. No other socks will do.
@@chrismichael1161 Do you find that your toes have enough room to move around? I'm really hoping I can keep using the Darn Toughs they're great socks!
Definitely. Toes still splay in the socks
@@chrismichael1161 glad to hear I don't have to give up my favorite socks! Thank you!

do you think the SG will last longer than the FG since the tread is deeper?
