Great casual shoe. Runs pretty true to size.

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.)

I have the black swede shoes. They could easily be mistaken for canvas, but they are indeed black swede. Very classic look. Plain and simple, which I quite like. They have really nice arch support inside, which often is not the case. Some padding around the ankle, as well as the footbed, though not a ton. They are still quite comfortable. A little bit heavy as the sole is rubber. Not a lot of tread on the bottom, but some. These shoes are Made in China, so kind of pricey at seventy-five bucks, but nice, casual shoes overall.

My 6’3”, 235lb Division I football player son loves these. (Size 13)

If he finds them comfortable, then they get a thumbs up from me.

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 love Keds Kickstart sneakers. This is my third pair. These run very true to size. I measure 5.5 and on the upper end of a medium width. I usually size up to a 6 in all my shoes, and I did this with my first two pairs. That was a mistake. Even though I wear no-show cotton socks with these, the 5.5 is perfect. If you wear your sneakers barefoot, definitely do not size up!

If the kickstart feels narrow to you, pull the laces out completely, gently stretch them open, put them on you feet, stand up in them, THEN loosely lace them. Within a week, they will start to stretch, and you’ll need to tighten the laces all the way down.

I really like the black slub satin. There’s a subtle sheen to the satin, and the plush velvet laces are just the right touch.

You may lose an inch in height wearing these as they have less of a sole than others have, making them feel almost like ballet slippers must feel, but it feels good once you get used to it. There is little cushioning in the sole so they are mainly for casual wear and probably not good for running etc.

Reviewer B Spinney

I love the look of these shoes. I find that the fit is good, but if you are wearing for long periods, I am not sure they are the most comfortable shoes. I use them for a night on the town, but not for working.

I'm trying to walk an hour after dinner every night. I bought these to replace my dr scholls walking shoes. I think these shoes make me walk a little faster! They also make me stand up straight!
