Appear to be made well with decent cushion support inside, and not heavy on the feet. Standing and walking for hours at my job has made my feet wide. Sometimes even wide shoes have boxy front giving my toes no room and constant rubbing as I walk. Not with these shoes. So far as I walk in the city haven't felt any issues wearing these. Five stars for getting it right! I'd buy again.

I have been wearing these exact shoes for I ver 12 years. Each pair last more than 3 years and I wear them everyday. Good fit and wide.
Reviewer D Alvarez
Super fast shipment on these shoes. Great quality. I have another pair the is 3 years old and still in great condition. I walk on cement floors all day and my feet feel great. Would buy this product from this seller again and recommend to others.
Reviewer Judy H Smith
I now have 4 pairs, fit comfort and wear are perfect.
The price is more then worth it. Finally a shoe wide enough and
adjusts to high archs on my large foot. Blends with sport to dress
casual.

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 nicest business casual shoe for men. Feels like wearing sneakers to the office but looks great.
Reviewer Still the Beaver
THese are very nice shoes, well made and a great price. Requested for Christmas by my 14 year old and he is very happy.

I am usually a sneaker 13, sometimes a 12 in boots. The 13 here fits me perfectly. My foot is wide, which is what pushes me up into a 13 sometimes. This is wider and more comfortable than it looks, much because it is soft enough to gently conform to my foot. No problems there or with the size at all.
The black looks good, and that means the rubber strip doesn't stand out so much on the bottom. I know that's there by design, but I don't usually like a big wall of rubber.
These are comfortable, easy, casual, The only odd thing is getting the lace ends through the holes at the top, but not a big deal at all. These look good, but certainly won't last forever - they become a deal when your size and color choice happens to be the low end of the price scale (which I think they keep around just to entice you to look in the first place).

wonderfully confortable
Reviewer E MCKINNEY
Love these shoes, supper comfortable. If you are going for long 3 mile plus walk running shoes are more comfortable, but for everyday wear these are great.
