Vivobarefoot Primus Lux, Mens Premium Leather Trainer, with Barefoot Sole

The best shoe I've had in ages. This is such a great, comfortable, stylish and flexible shoe. I've tried many other minimal/barefoot shoes - some of which I've quite liked, none of which I've loved - and this is hands-down my favorite. They are extremely comfortable (considering they are a minimal shoe with an inevitable lack of cushiness), and fit just as I'd expect and are nice and wide in the front leaving plenty of space for the toes to spread out as they naturally should. As someone who has some degree of foot discomfort/plantar fasciitis, this has been very welcome.They are also very well constructed, at least after several weeks worth of use, which hasn't been the case with some other Vivo shoes I've owned in the past.My only wish would be that they would offer them in other colors too. The blue wouldn't have been my first choice, but fortunately it's rather dark and quite close to black as another reviewer commented, so it's pretty neutral and doesn't clash with black or grey pants. I would love to see this shoe in other color options too such as black, grey, browns, army green, etc as well. I'm pretty sure I would purchase them all if they were tasteful. I haven't seen the the lighter color they offer in person, but the photos don't look too appealing which is a shame.But this is an all around fantastic and unique shoe which I hope they continue to make for many years to come!

The shoe itself is pretty decent. It looks as expected and the surface material held together well. The sole is very flexible, as advertised, but they don't tell you that it also stretches over time. The sole on mine has stretched so much that it is detaching from the rest of the shoe.

I am a big fan of Vivobarefoot shoes, this is the fourth pair that I have purchased. The leather on this pair is high quality, and the shoes are quite comfortable. One difference from some other Vivobarefoot shoes is that the insole is not removable or replaceable.

This shoes are wonderfully made and extremely confortable, just too large! I wish vivo made 6.5 for men.

Most comfortable shoes I have ever owned perfect right out of the box. First day I wore them I spent 12 hours working on my feet, felt great. My only complaint is that wish they were a little less busy and casual looking. I have super wide feet and vivos are the best

I love the previous version of these shoes, though the current version has a neoprene (?) rear/heel, which holds the foot in the shoe snuggly though also grabs & pulls my socks down. ;( So, for me, these don’t work, though can be worn sockless. Also, they don’t come with an insole.

I have worked outside on a farm for 20 years. I do most work barefooted... about 15 years ago I discovered barefoot shoes. When I have to wear shoes that's what I wear! I had to exchange this pair for one size larger: 45 eur exchanged for 46. Now I have the BEST SHOES ever!! I absolutely love these.

I know, having no cushion shouldn't count as a "Con" for barefoot shoes. However, I've used other barefoot shoes from Merrell and Vibram and this one is by far the less cushioned of all. Even on barefoot shoes, minimal heel cushion is an essential need when walking over hard surfaces, and this model doesn't provide any. It seems Vivobarefoot acknowledged the issue as the most recent models come with a slim insole, which this model lacks.Additionally, craftmanship is not the best. The leather had some scuff marks to the point the shoes looked used, and some seams look like they will not hold up for a long time. Unfortunately, I missed the returned window (I was traveling) and **Vivobarefoot refused to accept a return or provide a partial refund afterwards**. Customer support is not the best. Had this been Merrell, they would have taken them back, no questions asked. Really disappointed at this brand, I guess the reviews were over-hyped.
