Reviewer Linwe

Perfect for high arch and Fred flintstone feet. Super pleased with these two pairs. Would buy a black pair but I never find a 12EEEE

Reviewer Geoffrey Openshaw

Awesome shoes. Great fit.

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.)

It isn't easy to find comfy shoes in size 11. These fit the bill!

Reviewer A S Henry

My boyfriend loves these, they're comfortable, great support, lightweight and he especially loves the color. They fit him perfectly.

I really wanted this show to fit perfectly because it really looks amazing, however my fit are boarder line in the wide category and these are just way too narrow. Length is perfect but due to the narrowness it’s just too tight on the upper outer part of my feet. Great looking design and otherwise conformable.

Reviewer Michelle L Courtney

Really like this style. Getting harder to find

Reviewer C Andreas

They’re perfect. I already wore them.

Reviewer Margaret Mason

I love these shoes/I have purchased several pairs

Reviewer Melinda Mabie

These are great quality and fit nice. They are cool as well; some shoes get really hot but these are very cool. Some of the users mentioned scuffing on the front toe but I for one have not experienced that. Buy with confidence as they are a great pair of shoes!
