Detailed Review

Primus Trail II All Weather FG is a trail runner made for rough terrains and most weather conditions. It’s made from strong and durable materials, which users have said that last long. Adding to that, the shoe also offers an adequate ground feel for barefoot trail runners to enjoy, though one must be careful when on slick terrain. 

 

There are other similar Vivobarefoot Primus Trail models you can look into, like the Primus Trail II SG. They have similar features but if you usually run on muddy or slick terrain, you may appreciate this model. This is made of a Soft Ground outsole, which users say grip over mud and rubble well.

Materials

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. 

 

Like other Vivobarefoot FG models, it features the company’s unique Firm Ground sole, which has a 2.5mm base and 4mm lug height. The FG sole is made of high-quality materials to provide adequate traction and stickiness for a strong grip while still maximizing ground feel on most terrains. 

 

Reviews have mentioned liking the textured arch and lug height, and while it doesn’t provide the most barefoot feel, it’s responsive enough for its design and wherever they run on. That said, other reviews also state that the traction might be a bit dicey when on slick terrain, so you will need to be careful. While the traction is adequate on most terrains, it may not hold on to extremely slippery surfaces if uncareful. 

 

As for the quality of the materials, reviews have said that it can hold up well in most terrains and weather conditions, hence its name “All Weather.” The shoes are also water-resistant with non-absorbent materials, and though they do get soaked when walking in streams, they stay dry as you run on puddles, other wet surfaces, or during rainy weather. 

Performance

Users of the Primus Trail II All Weather FG shoes have mentioned that the Primus Trail II All Weather FG shoes have good responsiveness, thanks to their flexibility and lightweight features. People who have used the footwear said that since the shoes react well to their feet, feeling more of the ground connection.

 

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 Sizing

Reviews have mentioned that the shoes are true to size and fit as expected. Because it has a wide toe box, those with narrow feet say it takes time to get used to the freedom around their toes. But those with wide feet appreciate it as they get to splay their toes without feeling restricted. 

 

Primus Trail II All Weather FG vs Primus Trail II FG

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. 

 

But if you live in hotter climates and prioritize breathability, the Primus Trail II FG may be a better choice, according to reviews. Users have mentioned this particular Vivobarefoot Primus model is more breathable and feels cool during warm days compared to the Primus Trail II All Weather FG, but they still have similar features, such as the Firm Ground sole and vegan materials.

 

Final Call: Are the Primus Trail II All Weather FG Shoes Worth It?

While a bit pricier compared to the non-All Weather Primus Trail GF shoes, reviews mentioned that its versatility and all-season features make it worth the price. However, other users mentioned that it might get too hot during the intense summer heat, though they still enjoy running with them without socks. 

 

It gives enough barefoot feel for beginner and veteran runners, according to reviews. Some newbie barefoot runners have said that it takes time to get used to the shoes and feel the muscles in their feet and calves work hard because of the efficient ground connection.
