Increíblemente bueno

Reviewer MSchulz

I've put many, many miles on these. I plan on buying another pair. My arches were giving me trouble prior to buying these... now I just have shin splints.

Reviewer H Campbell

The sizes seem to run 1/2 a size small. Very nice sneakers.

Reviewer Terry M Webb

It took a while for my husband to get used to them but he is very happy with them

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.)

These are a medium brown color shoe that definitely qualify as a “sneaker” type shoe. They have what I’d call gum soles, but with a zig zag pattern for traction. Above the bottom, between the bottom and the upper is a cream white border around the entire shoe that is about 3/4 inch in height. The leather upper is a soft type leather that I do believe would get even softer with wear and break in, but even right out of the box, are pretty soft and comfortable. They do fit well for the size. The shoes come with two sets of laces, one that are a reddish-brown solid color, and the others are a brown/white two tone for styling. These are a mid-cut shoe that have good padding around the entry. These are very nice shoes that will be just the ticket for winter casual when you don’t want to wear regular runners or trainers.

I wear a women's size 11 USA. The chart that displays the size ratio of Converse men's to women's says a men's 8 equals a woman's 10. I read the previous reviews about how these shoes run large so I opted for the size 8 men's and they are actually a little long. The width is o.k. but I wish they were a quarter of an inch or so shorter, but they still fit well enough. I have a pair of Converse shoes just like these except white, and underneath the tongue it says it's a men's 8 and they fit perfectly so I was a little surprised that these were on the long side. I've always loved the classic Converse tennis shoe whether it's a high top or low top. I recently purchased the black low top and like I said earlier, it fits well enough except for being a little too long in the toe. The good thing about that though, is that I'll never have to worry about my toes getting crunched when walking down steep inclines.

I don't know about men's sizes, but if you are buying a pair of these shoes for a woman, it might be a real good idea to go down a size from what she normally wears in other shoes.

Reviewer M Fulks

These shoes were a great value for the price. They fit well at the correct size, very light and comfortable, and seem well made. I have had them for a month now and they have held up very well. However, there is a concern that I do not see others have mentioned. The soles are slippery on a smooth surface, they do not seem to grip like most sneakers, and this problem has persisted. Overall, this is not a big problem for me, but I can see this could be an issue for some and felt I needed to mention it.

I have worn Sketchers for a while now, being addicted to the women's GoWalk style. I ordered these for my husband, he had been complaining that his shoes were heavy and uncomfortable before too long on his feet. He was rather skeptical of my sales pitch, that the shoes are amazingly light in weight, provide great arch support and are comfortable all day long, but I ordered them for him anyway. When they arrived he tried them on and bounced about the house like a little kid! He said he had never worn shoes that were so comfortable - he was sold. Bought two more pair in different styles for himself. Fit as they should, no issues at all.

Reviewer Stephen Wagner

I absolutely love these sneakers. I bought these searching for comfort, as well as, style. As a bartender, I’m always on the lookout for a comfortable (all day) sneaker, as I’m on my feet long hours and these definitely provide that. Great cushioning, bounce, and style. I will say that Puma’s run about a 1/2- 1 size smaller than most brands. I can usually wear a 7-7 1/2 in men’s sneakers (9 in women’s) but after buying a 7 1/2 I had to exchange them for the 8 men’s.
