In my experience, Vivobarefoot has created one of their best shoes yet with the Primus Lux. I have been enjoying the Indigo version for a couple of weeks. Out of over a dozen pairs, it is the most comfortable and best feeling Vivobarefoot shoe I own, requiring zero break-in. The glove soft, finely perforated, unlined leather top allows my foot to breath and feels wonderful against my bare feet. In truly hot weather, nothing beats a sandal or bare feet for coolness, but I think I'll be able to wear this shoe all summer without a sock liner.

I also have the Stealth 2 Lux with this same outsole, which is my favorite of the various types by Vivobarefoot. Somehow, It feels even better in the Primus Lux, perhaps due to the thin leather footbed. This is a very flexible shoe which seems to have a tad less internal volume than most other models, but it fits fine since I don't have a "thick" foot. The tongue is not too long and does not rub the tendon on top of my foot where it bends up to my leg.

The upper wraps snugly around my ankles and heel, yet doesn't feel tight. This has the unexpected benefit of making it hard for those little pebbles that are seemingly everywhere to bounce into the shoe, irritating my bare feet. With most other low-top shoes, this minor annoyance sometimes makes me have to stop frequently and take off my shoes to empty the pebbles. For this reason, though I love my Xero Z-Trail sandals, I avoid wearing them in many kinds of terrain because I constantly have to stop and dislodge pebbles and other debris stuck between my feet and the top of the footbed.

For me, the Primus Lux is an attractive shoe that I can wear almost anywhere. I like how the subtle "V" logos are embossed in the same color, rather than made of contrasting dots as with the related Primus Trio model. The glued (not sewn) outsole has tasteful, wavy undulations where it meets the side of the shoe. Up front, this gives the appearance of a slightly flat front toe cap, but it is actually rounded.

As for the white sole color, I realize that white soles are very popular now for athletic and casual shoes. I like it, but would prefer a dark blue or black color for the simple reason that those colors don't show dirt and grime like white does. Perhaps Vivobarefoot will be good enough to offer this fine shoe in all black? A medium-toned red top with the white sole would probably be popular, too.

I am glad Vivobarefoot continues to innovate and offer barefoot, minimalist shoe enthusiasts so many attractive and functional shoe choices.

Thanks for reading.

(Btw, I purchased these from Vivobarefoot at regular price.)

I like these better than the stan smiths. they are mesh, so they do get dirty easier, but the price is way better and they look pretty similar.

Reviewer Andy Maree

Good pair of work shoes. This is my second pair. The last pair lasted 8 months. They are comfortable. They give good support and are lite weight.

Reviewer Kristy Brown

These shares are a classic look and similar to other See Vee's shoes I have purchased. They meet my expectations and the price was reasonable.

When my 12-year old son said that he wanted these shoes, I ordered them. I have purchased several New Balance products (for my family) in the past, and have found them to be durable and comfortable. When these arrived (quickly and ahead of schedule I might add), I was pleasantly surprised. They look better in person than the photo. The shoes run true to size (my son wears a 10 ½) and he says that they are very comfortable. He even thinks that they extremely stylish (or as stylish as green shoes, with camouflage accents and orange laces can be). And I will be able to tell you in about 4 months how well they wear (traditionally tennis shoes last about 6 months before they begin to tear up) after he puts some more miles on them. But overall, I give them 5 stars.

I typically wear a wide shoe and this one's advertised as a medium width so I knew the risk I was taking... Sure enough- if you have a wide foot, do not order these. That being said they do fit, just too snug for me. I did test them though and they're very comfortable to walk in and they are extremely lightweight. Highly recommend them if you have a normal to slimmer foot!

Reviewer Ed Lambert

The fit is quite good. It is almost a slipper/shoe that should work well in warmer weather. An unusual no separate tongue design means that a shoe horn will be necessary for some, including me.

He has a hard time finding shoes that fit right. He loves these.
