Detailed Review

Primus Trail II FG Kids trainers feature the same Firm Ground outsole found in other Vivobarefoot FG footwear series. These minimalist trainers have rugged outsoles for enhanced traction and protection and feature lightweight and flexible mesh uppers for breathability. The shoes are suitable for children who love to run around because of their light and barefoot feel that promotes natural foot movement.

Vegan-Friendly Materials

The Primus Trail II FG Kids are made of sustainable materials, without any animal products used. It’s vegan-friendly with its upper mesh made of recycled PET plastic bottles. 

 

This is because Vivobarefoot aims to use natural and sustainable materials that still focus on durability and are eco-friendly. The company continues to limit chemical substances, using products and systems that have less of an environmental impact. This allows their users to connect with nature better through the materials and ground connection. 

 

Primus Trail II FG vs Primus Trail FG

The FG in the Primus Trail II FG Kids stands for Firm Ground, which makes it different from the first Primus Trail Kids. The first model featured a multi-terrain-terrain outsole with a hexagonal lug design. But with the newer version, the Primus Trail II FG, it features Vivobarefoot’s Firm-Ground outsole that is said to withstand various underfoot conditions.

 

According to reviews, the Firm Ground Outsole makes the Primus Trail II FG Kids more versatile than its predecessor. While the first version was best made for more urban terrain and less technical trails, the Primus Trail II FG can be used on the road and challenging trails for walking, training, or even running. 

 

The similar thing can be said about the Primus Trail FG. While both models offer the Firm Ground outsole, reviews mention that the Primus Trail II FG Kids have an updated construction that makes it more durable and versatile. Kids can use it for tougher trails compared to its predecessor, which is best suited for less technical terrain and roads.

Firm Ground Outsole

The Firm Ground Outsole can cope with dry, wet, rubbly, rocky, or firm surfaces with the sole featuring multi-terrain traction. Furthermore, the soles are made with a sticky rubber compound, adding to the shoes’ grip. The outsoles are also puncture-resistant, which adds to its protection against sharp objects and rough terrains. 

 

On the other hand, there is a sports version of the Primus II FG Kids, which is the Primus Sport II FG Kids. This particular model has a similar outsole, though it focuses on improved movement for sports and playtime in fields. At the same time, the Primus Trail II concentrates on slightly firmer soles for added protection on technical terrain. Furthermore, the Primus Sport II FG Kids features a Velco strap, compared to the lace-up system the Primus Trail II FG has. 

Mesh Upper

Some of the notable features the Primus Trail II FG Kids, like the adult version of the Primus Trail II FG, has are from its FG outsole and mesh upper. The mesh is very flexible, constructed to the shape of a foot. Reviews share that the design and flexible mesh results in a better fit and encourage natural movement. 

 

Furthermore, the lightweight mesh upper is flexible and quick-drying, which reviewers say adds to its comfort. The shoes fit snugly on kids and are easy to take on and off with its speed lacing and toggle fastening system. 

Besides the Primus Trail II FG Kids, there are also other Vivobarefoot Primus models for kids, made for different settings. For instance, there is the Primus School II. What makes both models different is that the Primus Trail II FG Kids is made with a Firm Ground sole and more so for trails, while the Primus School II has a multi-terrain sole more suitable for classrooms, playgrounds, or even out in the city.
