Air Jordan 1 Mid Barely Grape

Reviewer John Pawlusiak

These are comfortable and they look great. I believe they have a stitched rubber cup sole, which are common on fashion sneakers and I love them for their comfort. The leather isn't anything to write home about, but it's comfortable and finished well.

I purchased these with a deep discount, so I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of them. At full price, however, there are better quality fashion sneakers, but finding them in all these colors may prove difficult.

I put down that they run a little large, because they do for athletic shoes, although they run as expected for dress shoe brands, like Cole Haan. So I ordered a half size down from my usual athletic shoe size (nike, et al) and they fit perfect. So choose your size based off your dress shoes, rather than your athletic sneakers, as you should always do when you're not ordering from an athletic shoe brand, unless you've been instructed otherwise.

Overall, I'm very pleased with these shoes and will consider paying more for another pair in the future, but only if they're on sale.

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.

My husband hates shopping, especially for anything shoe or clothing related, so it proves difficult sometimes to find him the right goods, and still have him looking good/feeling good. He likes black, and has wide feet, so these were perfect, and he still feels like he can look decent when we go out. These were fine for their purpose, and a great deal on price. For those who have stubborn, hates to shop partners? These are the ones.

Arrived with the unexpected but much welcomed red and white stripes.

Reviewer Christopher W Green

They were perfect. Going to get another pair as sometimes good shoes don’t stay in stock.

Reviewer Maria Escobedo

Great all around (adidas knockoff) shoes for the price.

Reviewer Margie Mcnulty

Very comfortable, no problems yet.

Reviewer Cherylle Cowley

I watched my 83 year old husband struggle to put on his shoes and get them laced up. I recalled seeing a shoe that solved this problem. Amazon had it! They have totally saved the day! I ordered a pair for myself, a half size larger as suggested, and am thrilled with them. I had two strokes this year and these shoes are a lifesaver, so very comfortable and give me stability and so perfect in every way.

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.)
