Great shoe and wears well

Reviewer Jeremiah L Graves

My 13yr-old son purchased these with his birthday money. We looked at the "known" brand, and these were about half the price, and with better reviews! He has not been disappointed at all. We did order a half size larger, based on the comments/feedback, and they fit great.

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.)

My husband has always used sketchers for coaching basketball and loves the support. These are just as good as the ones he has paid much more for.

Reviewer KKoshy

These are a nice sleek causal shoe, that fit as expected. They pretty much match with anything which is cool. They are comfortable and seem to be made well. I think my only complaint is the tongue. It's very thin and short, hard to get a grip on it to slip the shoe on. Otherwise overall happy with the shoe.

Reviewer Mary Ellen Hershey

I bought these for a gift and they are exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately not him. While he liked them a lot they are quite narrow and he needs a wide fit. These would be perfect for spring and summer and I will repurchase in a wide width.

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.

Converse Chucks never disappoint , they’re a winner year after year . Reading the reviews I knew these particular shoes ran big , I normally wear a 9.5 and ordered a 9 (they aren’t sold in half sizes,)I could have actually worn an 8 in this shoe they run at least an entire size big.
