Expensive very good made shoes
Reviewer JZW
These are great shoes. My wife gets the ghost series, but using the Brooks website, I was able to determine that this is the best series for myself. My wife and I like to walk, after my knee replacement surgery, I need a good shoe to avoid ever having to go through that again. These are great.

This shoe suited me well for 3 month with fairly use. I used this shoes 10 hours per week and it served me well. The rubber sole really helped me from slipping in the kitchen area with wet surface. Nothing has been torn yet. I'm expecting this shoe will last me for a good 8 months.

Couple of years ago I purchased a pair of Skechers slip-ons and though I wore them everyday, they were dangerous. They would slip off, they provided no support, and countless times I came close to turning an ankle...still I wore them for several years. I decided enough was enough and I gambled on these slip ons, and LOVE THEM. They fit perfectly (size 13 narrow foot), they provide decent support and generous cushion. They are super comfortable and are very stable. I would not run in them, but they are great for all casual situations...even wore them to church when I was feeling really casual.

I loved this shoes for work, are really comfortable. However, a sample or guide of size with more detail is needed in order to ensure they fit before buy them. Because the first one I ordered were small but then the exchange were too large.
Reviewer JoeP
These shoes are amazingly light and comfy. I do buy a size up and put a Crocs brand insole in them for more comfort. Totally spoiled by these now, better than crocs.

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.)

Months later I still love my two pairs of these shoes. (I have one pair that are smaller that I use for general around town wear, and a 1/2 size larger I use for longer walks) I often put them on when I get home from a long hike/walk and they are very comfortable to spend the rest of the day in because of the way they spread your toes out. They are great for walking on rocks because the 'blocks' on the bottom stick like glue. But wet they are very slippery. And it takes a while for them to dry out. The sole is about worn out on one of my pairs but there are no holes anywhere in the shoe, not even between the toes where the material seems very thin. My longest walk in them has been 10 miles on a paved bike trail.
I'm bumping my review up to 5 stars for having performed so well over the long run.
