Love the shoes, but first pair very narrow and had to be returned. My husband's feet are average to slightly narrow width. Had to get a full size larger.

Love the shoes! Good cushioning, fit foot well, which is often challenging due to having a narrow foot. Shoe doesn’t have a moveable tongue, and is a little heavier than comparable shoes, but an excellent value!

They fit true to size, they are comfortable, and the color (blue71) is so awesome. For $20, they are great. My only complaint is that one of the shoes is not centered, so the laces are off center. It's not enough to cost a star or send them back, I mean they're 20 bucks, you can't expect them to be perfect...

I got these shoes for work because I needed all black shoes and none of the ones I found were stylish or cheap. I ended up buying these which were $50 but honestly it was worth it. Most of these all black work shoes fall apart within a month but I've had these for a little bit longer than a month and they're still in perfect condition. They are comfy, they are easy to put on and take off, and they are low-key stylish.
I'm obsessed with the fila brand, especially this style of shoe and I was so happy to find black for work.

They fit well and are very comfortable. They look fantastic with shorts!!

Never had vans before, thought I would give them a try. They are very well made and sturdy. The only reason I gave them 4 stars was the first day I wore them I got a blister on the back of my heel from them. Hopefully I can break them in with no more blisters! I really like the shoes so I hope they work out!

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 coloring will come off if you have to clean it. also, if these get wet, your socks will turn blue. if kept dry, they are great shoes. more for fashion than athletic performance though.

I’m 45 years old & I have chronic lower back pain. These are extremely comfortable! Great for long day wear. I usually wear crocs everywhere I go, but these are actually better for times when I’m standing or walking more than I’d like to. I usually wear a size 12 wide in mens shoes but because I wear them in the summer w no socks, I bought an 11.5 reg & they fit perfectly.
