No laces of course, so these are not suitable for a trail hike, but they are light and comfortable and great for walking around town. This is my third pair.

I have a hard time finding shoes to fit . I've got small, wide feet so my shoes are either too short or too long. These fit great, heavy duty but very comfortable!
Reviewer Thorsteinn Skansbo
Nice shoe. Sturdy and stylish.

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 black shoes. They are super “plain”, but that’s something that I really like about them. Just black-and-white, with the Lacoste logo on the side. They are leather uppers with a rubber sole. They have some arch support inside. The inside padding is “reasonable”. Due to the rubber sole, they are not super lightweight, but also not too heavy. These shoes are Made in Vietnam, so at the current starting price of seventy-five bucks is a bit steep, but they are quite nice overall.

The fit of these slip on sneakers is true to size. I got a pair in size 11, and my size 11 foot fits just fine. The fit is better with socks on but even without socks the sneaker has a decent fit (there's some lifting of the heel when not wearing socks but it's not excessive or troublesome).
They are surprisingly comfortable. There's padding that provides reasonable support. They are all plastic in construction which makes them perfect as a garden shoe since I can just hose them off when they get muddy. They are also great for around the house and running errands. I like that they are slip ons, which makes it quick and easy to put on/take off. However, these would not be my first choice for taking long walks -- I prefer lace up shoes for that to provide better support.
The only area that was somewhat disappointing is the sole. The manufacturer claims they are non-slip and that's true when walking on a rough surface, such as a sidewalk. Even in the rain these felt sure footed outside. However, on smooth surfaces, such as a wet tile floor, I didn't get that sure footed feeling. I didn't fall (at least not yet) but I have to be more mindful when walking compared with other shoes that have a softer, more grippy sole. The sole on these shoes is rather hard and unyielding. That's good for making the shoe last a long time without wearing out, but not so good for grip.
The sole drops my score to 4.5 stars but I'll round up to 5 since everything else about these sneakers hits the mark. They fit well and are comfortable, practical shoes. The styling is nothing to shout about, but as long as my feet are happy, I don't care what they look like!

Shoes are for my husband who wears a size 14 and has a difficult time finding shoes that are comfortable and fit well. He loves these Skechers and has had them on since they arrived. He's breaking them in for a trip we are taking in the Spring and no doubt they will serve him well.

These wonderful canvas sneakers will be perfect for this upcoming Spring and Summer season!
These shoes fit perfectly and are plenty roomy for my just slightly wider feet. Some shoes I’ve purchased throughout the years - especially sneakers have been more slender than I am comfortable with but these have plenty of room within them to give enough support to my entire foot without feeling like they’d be too wide for most. The soles have a great traction to them and the insoles are very comfortable. I tried them out with some kaki shorts and they looks awesome! I am definitely looking forward to wearing them in the upcoming seasons.
I’d definitely recommend these Basics canvas sneakers.

I buy these for my husband for work. They're the best shoes for walking on concrete floors that is wet and sometimes has grease spilled on it. These shoes last him about a year to a year and a half compaired to other cheap shoes that last a month at his work. They are worth the price and are a good quality. You can always buy soles for added comfort, but for my husband I assume they are comfortable enough because he has never complained about discomfort. I've bought him 3 pairs of these in the past 6 years.
