Very comfortable! I still have to use my SuperFeet inserts, but I'm quite satisfied with my shoes.

I am a huge Chuck fan - BUT I have flat feet, and can wear them comfortably. My husband and daughter cannot. I feel like most people that wear Chucks do so because they want to make a "fashion statement" at the cost of their feet... I just need them for my flat feet - and thus every 10-12 months I order a pair of Black Chuck Taylors, works for me!

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 size 8. They have a weight of 8.25oz each. So they are quite lightweight. This is because the sole is Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (plastic). The upper is mesh and breathable. There is a nice padded footbed, which is removable. Slight bit of arch support. Not much padding around the heel / ankle. They are a little slick on the bottom. Very attractive look.
These shoes are Made in China and being sold by a Chinese company on Amazon. At the current price of 43 bucks, they are at least 10 bucks overpriced, but they are very attractive and nice overall.

I love Merrells, they are far and above my favorite shoe brand. Their barefoot stuff is amazing, and their other shoe styles are all excellent. Now this shoe, wow, it is fantastic. Comfortable, stylish, I just love it. Another amazing job Merrell!

These shares are a classic look and similar to other See Vee's shoes I have purchased. They meet my expectations and the price was reasonable.

I got this pair of shoes so that I had something to wear around (instead of wearing my workout sneakers and wearing them out quicker, which is what I normally do).
First thing is, they're shiny and physically nice to look at. I'm not vane or anything, but it's nice to have things that aren't completely trashy. They look good. The size is right in line with what I'd expect (I tend to get a half a size bigger because my feet are a little on the wide side).
They're comfortable but also very thin and light. They aren't going to be good for working out but that's not what they're presented as. Like I mentioned, they're good for casual moving around, allowing me to save my workout sneakers. They still feel durable enough and they breath nicely.
An interesting side note, they did not come in a box, they came in a bag (with material stuffed into them to keep them from collapsing). I don't care about the box, it just ends up in the recycle bin, but I just thought I'd point it out.
Overall, I'm very happy with these.

Love them!! I just wish they were a bit more loose. They are a little on the tight side.
