As a longtime customer who has owned Emerica shoes and watched the quality go down throughout the years. These shoes are a great pair to own. The quality is good and as expected for an $80 pair of shoes. Very happy with my purchase.

I have 10+ pairs of Cole Haan shoes and they're all great, but these are the most comfortable out of all of them.

There were a gift. He absolutely loved them Said they are VERY comfortable. Works in a warehouse with lots of walking. They arrived on time. No problem. They were in a bag not a box, box would have been better.

Bought these for my husband for Christmas. He is a standard 10.5 and they were a perfect fit and he is mesmerised by the comfort. No breaking in, no rubbing at the back.

Finding basketball shoes for men can run extremely high sometimes. This was a good deal and they are great for the basketball workout. No foot pain afterward. Worn by a 5'9" Man About 185lbs With A Muscular Build.

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.)

These were great shoes before KSwiss replaced the comfortable contoured insoles with the flat memory foam insoles. I removed the memory foam insoles and replaced these with Walk Hero Plantar Faciitis insoles. With the high arch, these insoles restore the comfort of the shoes, and eliminate the need for additional costly orthotics.

My daughter loves them. Vans are her favorite school shoes. I love that they last all year long.
