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.)

As a working stiff, not a suit, jeans were my go to pants from my teen years until I retired in my mid-60s. For all that time, Levi's were the gold standard for jeans. Once I retired, I shifted from jeans to sweat pants or gym shorts, depending on the season. Those have a very relaxed, comfortable fit that goes well with being an old retired guy. So it's been a while since I've worn Levi's products. I was delighted to see that these shorts adhere nicely to that company's standard of excellence.
These shorts are well made, with a hefty, durable feel to them that I really like. They feel more like sweatpants than jeans, which means that they are very, very comfortable, with a relaxed fit that I also very much like. I put on a clean pair of shorts every morning, wear them all day, then sleep in them that night, and then change them in the morning. That means the two most important things to me about a pair of shorts like these are their durability and their comfort. These seasonal sweatshorts score better on both counts than any other shorts I own atm. You can be sure that these will be my go to shorts from now on.

Surprisingly well fitting sneakers. I take a womens 10/11 or a mens 9. I always need wide width (genetic bunions, yay), so I wasn't sure how these would fit. When they arrived, I thought no way would they fit. They looked super narrow and small. Optical illusion as they went on no problem, and fit my feet well. Somehow makes my feet look narrow, too.
They have a sock like opening & upper. Stretchy but secure feeling. I wouldn't call it a lace up sneaker as there is no tongue. There is really no need for the laces, but it does provide some ability to adjust how it fits along the top portion. Just know that you can't make it tighter at the top near opening.
They do look exactly like in the pictures.
They feel secure on the feet. The insert is cushiony, almost provides a bit of a bounce. Has a slight arch, so if you have high arches or walk more on your sides, then this may exacerbate that. I have high arches but it doesn't feel too off. I was able to wear them all day around the house doing chores and felt comfortable enough. At some point I thought it could use more cushion.
They are a light weight sneaker, yet the sole is sturdy. I haven't gone on a walk with these yet, so I am not sure how they do in that regard (but will update). They were comfortable and sturdy enough for around the house and basic errands.
A lot better than anticipated.

This Nike Sneaker is very well made to last and the fit was perfect! Very comfortable and easy walking!
Reviewer Victoria J Spencer
For the cost, these shoes easily exceeded expectations. Surprisingly more comfortable than I expected, even after wearing them all day. I'll definitely be getting another pair soon.
Reviewer Theresa Wilkin
These shoes are very roomy in the toe box, comfortable, and offer good support. The removable insole has a good arch and molds itself to the contours of your foot. The shoes were comfortable all day from the first day I put them on, so I didn't need to do the "wear them for 2 hours per day" break-in treatment. In fact, the third day I owned them I wore them to work - on a concrete floor for 12 hours, and had no problems at all.
This is definitely my new favorite shoe.
