I needed shoes to walk on a treadmill. These shoes fit the bill. Well made and comfortable. I'm sure they would be fine for walking outside too.

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 shoes. They are super “plain”, but that’s something that I really like about them. Just black-and-white, with the Lacoste logo on the side. They are leather uppers with a rubber sole. They have some arch support inside. The inside padding is “reasonable”. Due to the rubber sole, they are not super lightweight, but also not too heavy. These shoes are Made in Vietnam, so at the current starting price of seventy-five bucks is a bit steep, but they are quite nice overall.

This review is for size 12. It is comfortable for walking and working in my yard. Breathable and skin-friendly material keeps foot dry. These shoes are tough that ensure the flexible movement and cushioning effect. I am 190 pounds and it works for me. I used to get shin splints while jogging, but these have been holding in well. They got as expected & were a great price for the value.

I usually go for new balance but these are very nice. I found a new favorite show.

The Columbia Fairbanks are comfortable, supportive, and have a good sole. The grippy sole is the most important part of a shoe for me, since I have an older individual wearing these sneakers, and avoiding slipping/falling is super important. The shoes are worn for daily walking about and work well for that.
The arch support feels great; there’s no foot fatigue at the end of a day wearing these. The mesh is breathable, but doesn’t block out any water, including puddles.
The sizing is true to size.
The look of the wide lacing is a personal preference (not a big fan) but definitely makes putting the shoes on and taking them off much easier than a narrow-tongued sneaker. Overall, the look of the shoe isn’t too athletic, so it could be worn in a variety of settings if you’re looking for comfort/support.
