This is my husband's second pair of Saucony gym shoes and he loves them. They're lightweight and comfortable. I don't know how they'd be for running but he wears them during his commute to and from the train station.

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

Great shoes. Fits like a glove and feels like pillows on your feet. Just buy them, you won’t regret it.

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.)

These are TOO CUTE! I'm a 6.5 with a high arch, narrow heel, and super wide toe. These fit PERFECT! The style is more boxy and chunky. So if you're looking for a slim fitting sleek shoe, this is not it. I already know these shoes are going to get compliments!

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.
Reviewer Dave Raphael
An extremely light-weight shoe. These are a good knock-around and quite stylish. Fit was a tad small, but they will stretch. Not something I would recommend for a 10-mile hike, but fine for around town. The weight surprised me, but I would expect this comes at some detriment to durability.
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.

I haven't owned shoes in years. Even in the coldest (okay chilliest) winter days here in FL I wore sandals. I needed a pair of shoes for an event and after seeing numerous TV commercials for Skechers wide fit shoes I took a shot and ordered these in a 12 4E. They're amazingly comfortable with a ton of room for my toes. They don't pinch or bind. I have a flat foot and was glad to find there isn't a high arch in these shoes and the memory foam insole (not removable sadly) really cushions your stride. The soles have nice traction and the uppers are sturdy but breathe nicely, on an 83° day when the rest of me was sweating my feet were surprisingly cool and comfortable. These really aren't a sneaker they're more like a lightweight walking/trail shoe. They're also attractive. Hopefully they're as durable as they are comfortable.
