Extremely comfortable. I love the knit feel. High quality foot wear for a great price online. Amazon rocks in my view.

Bought these for my husband for Christmas. He is a standard 10.5 and they were a perfect fit and he is mesmerised by the comfort. No breaking in, no rubbing at the back.
Reviewer Tyler Collins
This is the first work shoe that is narrow enough for my husband’s foot. We are buying a second pair to have on hand because they are so comfortable and sturdy.

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.)

Bought this as a gift for my dad and he said this is the first shoe that I got him that fits great and is so comfortable… Aw, I’ve been getting him shoes for decades and finally, this is great! We will be getting more of these!
Reviewer Mactabage
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.

I like New Balance shoes. I wore the last pair for many many years, so when I saw this retro style I really liked them. Ended up with another pair as well. The best thing about them is that they are not that other brand which is a four letter word to me. They are super light and comfortable- should probably mention that !
Reviewer M Barton
I got a half size larger based on past experience with other athletic shoes and they fit fine. Toe box is not cramped at all. Memory foam makes shoe very comfortable to wear.
