Convinced him to let me look online and saved $25 over retail

Reviewer Lorien Pratt

My husband's absolute favorite hiking/urban shoe -- he has 4 pairs and if they ever wear out, my guess is he'll buy more.

My husband loves these. I purchased a woman's pair and told him they were the most comfortable sneakers I'd ever tried. He decided to order and is very happy. They are comfortable and he can't say enough good things about the fit. He's been paying $123 for sneakers at a sport shop - these beat those sneakers hands down. We will purchase these again.

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.)

Love these shoes. Be sure to order a half size smaller. I have nothing negative to say. Great shoes, great price.

Honestly. . . These shoes are super ugly. Having said that. . . . I quite like them. Hahahaha

They are very lightweight. I have the size 8 and they weigh 6oz. There is really nice padding inside. There’s also arch support. They easily slip-on, as there is so much stretch to the fabric. I like the tag on the back to help pull then on. Very breathable.

The sold is anti-skid. It’s plastic. I have some other shoes with what I believe to be a similar sole. I thought that they would wear-down quickly. . . but. . . that’s not been the case.

These shoes are Made in India. They look and feel cheap. . . but. . . I can’t get past the comfort part. Ever if they don’t last all that long. . . I’ll enjoy them while I can.

These were great shoes before KSwiss replaced the comfortable contoured insoles with the flat memory foam insoles. I removed the memory foam insoles and replaced these with Walk Hero Plantar Faciitis insoles. With the high arch, these insoles restore the comfort of the shoes, and eliminate the need for additional costly orthotics.
