Forza Trainer is Xero's model designed to provide you with security and comfort during your workouts at the gym and even as everyday footwear. With a sock-like opening design (no tongue) and a locking strap that gives you security at the heel and instep level, Forza Trainer will be your new favourite shoe.
Materials: the upper is a breathable mesh made from a moisture-wicking fabric to keep your feet feeling nice and fresh while in use. Silky soft lining, which absorbs moisture and keeps your feet dry.
Design built similar to a bootie. “Forza” means “strength” in Italian.
The materials used are also 100% vegan-friendly.
Midfoot strap, molded sidewall, grippy tread, moisture wicking
Lightweight: 7.4oz for a Women’s size 7 and 8.7oz for a men’s size 9.
This model has an extra grippy outsole, perfect for workout activities. If you are looking for an everyday shoe, this is an excellent option as well.
Zero drop
High amount of ground feel and extra flexible outsole.
The Forza Trainer fits true to size, but a little more narrow than other Xero shoes. We recommend going half a size up for width if you need it.
Xero uses gendered American sizing: there is 1.5 size's difference if you're translating between men's and women's sizing. For example, a women's 9.5 is the same length as a men's 8, but the men's will be wider and taller (higher volume).
The footprint shape is rectangle.
Designed for low and medium volume fit. If you have high volume, you can try taking the insole off.
This model is a little more narrow than other Xero shoes. We recommend half a size up in that case.
The fit is double adjustable: with thin laces in the instep area like most shoes and a locking strap that gives you security at the heel and instep level.
We recommended this shoe for slope toebox shape.
The width in the forefoot area is centered.
The Forza Trainer provides lots of sensation through the sole, and feels very close to the ground.
If you are new to minimal shoes and used to thick, stiff soles, you may prefer starting off with a more forgiving model.
If you enjoy when shoes feel as close as possible to being barefoot, this would be a great model for you.
Spot clean the uppers. You can wipe the soles with a damp cloth. Do not put it in the washing machine. Handwash sparingly (lay flat to dry).
These shoes are meant to be worn during your workouts and on a daily basis, thanks to their versatile design and construction.
The bootie-like construction is geared toward providing security during your workouts as it features a locking strap that securely holds the instep and heel. Plus, you'll feel an added sense of lateral stability thanks to the midfoot strap, molded sidewall, and grippy tread.
The Primus Trail III All Weather SG is expected to fit true to size based on the official Vivobarefoot website. Vivobarefoot uses gendered European sizing. This means a men’s 41 and a women’s 41 are the same length, but the men’s are wider and taller throughout, and the women’s sizing is shallower and narrower.
Fit Notes:
The Primus Trail III All Weather SG is a great choice for those looking for a trail runner that offers both ground feel and strong grip on soft or slippery terrain. With a total stack height of 7.5mm, including a 2.5mm base and 5mm lug height, this shoe provides the perfect balance of protection and sensory connection to the ground.
Even though it has a slightly higher stack height compared to other Vivobarefoot models, you can still expect that same ground feel you love, with added protection from sharp and rough off-road surfaces.
If you are new to barefoot shoes and used to stiff and supportive trail shoes or boots, start out slow and easy with these as they will be a big change and may require you to strengthen and mobilize your feet to get back to your usual trail performance.
You can brush off dirt and wipe these clean with a damp cloth as recommended by Vivobarefoot. Make sure to allow the shoes to dry at room temperature and out of direct heat sources like direct sunlight and the radiator.
With wear, the shoes can lose some of their water resistant qualities and so Vivobarefoot recommends using Liquiproof Premium Protector to replenish the water repellent qualities. For daily wear, treat once a month. For casual wear, treat as needed.
