Love these shoes. Perfect for the office or shorts and a tee. Ordered on whole size smaller than my Nike or Asics. Comfortable for all day wear.

I'm tough on shoes. I bought these just as some knock arounds for my automotive shop and they have ended up being the longest lasting, most durable shoes I have ever had.
I have used these when welding and have had them grinding on the concrete when I am under a car for a straight year and they have maintained.
The sole lasted much longer than most shoes (I've gone through Tland boots in less than 4 months) and they are still holding together a year later.
The sole has finally become worn to the point where the sides sort of mushroom out but they have not worn through and the uppers are still perfect with zero show or wear.
I'm hoping the all black comes available again and I will order another pair.

Bought these with my birthday money and exactly what I wanted!

Bought these because wearing my gym shoes for long days on my feet just was not fashionable. These shoes look great while being very comfortable to wear all day on my feet. They are super lightweight. The nylon is very thin and not very water resistant, but then again what nylon shoe is. For reference my gym shoes are Nike Free 5.0 and Flyknit 4.0. If those shoes are 10 out of 10 for comfort and support, I give these 9 out of 10. I cannot comment on durability, but I am going on vacation soon so we will see how they stand up to probably 100 miles of walking in the next month or so.

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.)

Comfortable, no need to breaking, look good, wear satisfactorily.
Reviewer Enigma Machine
These shoes have nice tread on the bottom. Neither super lightweight nor super heavy. I have the size 8 and they have a weight of 12oz each.
Firm padding on the footbed. No arch support. Nice padding around the ankle.
These shoes are Made in China. They are nicer / better quality than the really cheap Chinese shoes being sold at the same price on Amazon.
Reviewer Amie Tedeschi
Really nice shoes, surprising detail and new shine. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the brownish sole (actually sort of an odd version of brown) on black shoes, but the shoes still look great overall. They come with high end extras, like the stick inside the shoe to keep its shape, and a nice shoe bag - better than most of the ones you might get from hotels.

I bought them as a gift for my husband. He wore them when traveling overseas and walked a lot.
The leather is stylish and elegant. He loves them a lot.

My husband loves this sneaker. What a relief as he is the most difficult guy when it comes to buying shoes. According to him, they never fit right. These sneakers look very nice right of the box. The insole is memory foam, so they are very comfy.
