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.)

A surprisingly nice shoe from Skechers. There is plenty of toe room and the shoe required no "break-in" period. They were super comfortable immediately. Would recommend this shoe to others and would consider another pair for myself.

better price here than at the mall. the gold logo they use on the tongue now is not durable at all. i can see it starting to wear off.
Reviewer Trevor Stewart

A little heavier than expected. Seem to fit fine with orthonic. Had to increase shoe size to accommodate orthonic.

While I had never heard of this brand I decided to give them a shot to see what I thought about them.
I found that these shoes fit true to size and are incredibly comfortable. The mesh like fabric allows airflow keeping your feet from getting too hot while still providing ample support.
I have used these over the last few months and they have held up very well, performed excellently and quickly became a go to pair of shoes when I knew I was going to the gym or to be on my feet most of the day.
I have been very pleased with these sneakers and would not hesitate to recommend them or purchase another pair from this brand. The price is amazing for the quality of this shoe.

My husband loves em. Wears them on days he will be on his feet a lot.
Reviewer John M Starrels
These shoes fit great and look good. I tried a different brand same size and returned as the fit was small and cramped. These Skechers fit so much better and make my feet feel a lot better.
Reviewer Jean MacDonald
They last me and are comfortable due to their great thick soles!
