For the cost/drip ratio, you cannot beat these kicks.
Surprisingly comfortable for an inexpensive shoe that some may consider only for aesthetics.
If you are concerned about creasing the toe, buy toe cap protectors at the same time as it (crease) will show after very little use.
I bought toe caps and it's kept it straight with no loss in comfort.
I always get tons of compliments on these shoes, and they feel great.
There are some minor craftsmanship details that look rough on close inspection but, nothing most people would ever notice and I nothing I would have any issue with for the price.
I have seem similar shoes for 10x the price, and you would not know the difference from 1m away.
I will likely buy another pair to store away, for whenever these end up wearing out.

The shoe fit pretty good except that the back was a bit too short and it wasnt as deep as hoped for the insert. Have a hard time finding shoes for size 17 long toe foot. Usually cant find a wide enough toe bow so have been trying the wide width. They were so close to being what was wanted, but did return the shoes. Burgendy/hemp is not as bad as red, but I'll wear most colors if I can just find the right fit.

Great shoe, It just was a little big.
Reviewer G Sydnor
Shoes look and feel great. I'm very happy with them, though I've already scuffed them up a bit from overuse - that should tell you how often I've been using them! I really enjoy these and I'm glad I got them for the summer. Looking forward to getting them clean and bright for much more use. Thank you very much!

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.)

The shoes look and feel well made. A plus considering the price. The hook-and-loop fastener makes the shoes easy to put on and take off. There is not a lot of support for the arch of the foot, so I sometimes use an insert for extra support.
Reviewer S Clancy
These shoes are extremely lightweight and fit perfect.
Reviewer Kim Pullen
Bought these to replace a pair exactly like them that were several years old and very well worn. They are perfect. As always, Skechers are a well fitting long lasting shoe. We caught them on sale so that was a super bonus!! Highly recommend.
Reviewer S Blackburn
Daughter loves them. Both my teen and young adult wear Converse just about every day. I tried on a pair last weekend and after about a half-hour understood why -- it's like going barefoot. Comfortable for young feet, but no arch support these old ones (not to mention they look ridiculous this side of 50).
Reviewer Dennis J Mahon
It fits perfect. Looks great. Got tons of compliments.
