They fit well, but as these style shoes does not have arch support, I use an arch support that you can get from store (about $12/pair) and these shoes are so comfortable and fits well. I am generally a men's size 12, but with these men's size 11 work perfect. Not to mention they are awesome looking shoes.

Great arch support and keen fashion appeal. Very comfortable.

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 very wide feet and the 4E width is perfect. I bought 2 colors, black and olive. Very happy with them!

I’m quite “confused” by these shows. They are made in China. “Puno King” is a Chinese company selling on Amazon. On the size it shows “RP Crew”. After doing some research. . . I still have no idea what it stands for. I’ve found the same design on some shirts. . .but no other information. I know that RP can stand for Roleplay. . . But as far as being a “Hip-Hop Fashion Statement”. . .. Who knows. If you really like the “RP part. . .This same company offers other shoe options where the RP is in Black and shows-up more.
These shows are heavily padded around the ankle as well as on the tongue. There is nice padding on the footbed, but next to no arch support. The sole is non-skid rubber. Because of the rubber sole; these shoes are a little bit heavier than some other options.
Overall I like them. . . but. . .at the current price of thirty-seven bucks. . . I think they are kind of expensive for Made in China shoes.

My husband has always used sketchers for coaching basketball and loves the support. These are just as good as the ones he has paid much more for.

I ordered these for a Christmas gift for our son and they came very quickly and in great shape. They look great and fit like a charm. Vendor did a very good job getting them out so fast and they are brand new for a good price.

My grandson loves these shoes! He works in the kitchen and they have to wear slip resistant and oil resistant shoes. Since he is on his feet all day and is flat-footed - these work really well for him.
Reviewer Shelley L Patterson
I love how subtle these are. Not overly loud or flashy. They do wear out too quickly.
