Wearing these to ymca. Fit is perfect. I bought 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and that worked out well with very roomy toe box that I wanted due to aging toenails.

I really liked this shoe. It was comfortable and looked nice, but basically broke down within a year. I wore them out to a casual rehearsal dinner BBQ, and they got muddy, it was the final kick in the butt I needed to throw away broken shoes, despite only being 1 year old

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 love it that these shoes are exactly what my husband has been wearing for at least 5 years. I looked everywhere in stores but only found them here. They are perfect and fit so well.

I bought some water shoes through Lands' End years ago, and their inside, next-to-the-skin portion was not nearly as smooth and comfortable as these shoes, but the construction and basic principle is the same.

These water shoes have a firm, rubber sole to protect the feet from rough ground, and they have a good grip on slippery rocks to prevent falls. These are closed-toe shoes, which means they also protect the top part of your feet and your toes.

They look, from a distance, as if they are just regular athletic shoes. However, unlike most athletic shoes, they do not use tie laces. Instead, they have an adjustible "bungee tie" system, which means your shoes will not come untied, and you can slip these shoes on and off and still have the shoe feel securely fastened.

These shoes have holes for draining water and a mesh construction on the upper part which both releases water and dries quickly when you return to land. Note that these shoes are "water ready" but not waterproof. They will definitely get wet.

As to size, if you will for some reason be wearing socks, then you might want to go up a half size from your normal size. These shoes are meant to be worn without socks.

These shoes would be perfect for wading in the ocean or a river or stream. They would be great for rafting, inner-tubing, or boating in general.

The color is a masculine charcoal with yellow trim, and they are technically made for men. However, if a woman knows her comparable size in men's shoes, I don't see why a woman could not wear these as well.

The price is rather steep for what these are, and that might give some people pause. I'd recommend shopping around and comparing prices before you decide on these.

Trying a new style and I’m loving it

By far the best tennis / walking shoes I have ever owned.

Reviewer topcop101

These shoes didn't require much breaking in, thankfully. The soft outer reflected the soft interior. However, the shoes are thick and heavy, and caused some walks to work to be a little burdensome.

Reviewer Bruce Shen
