Nothing sketcy about Sketcher. A few years ago I had some major foot trouble so since then I have been careful to protect my hoofies with ankle support and molded foot inserts. None of that matters if you have lousy shoes. I first bought a pair of Skechers Men's Afterburn Memory-Foam Lace-up Sneakers at a small box store after seeing them advertised. Best cheap shoe I ever wore. Liked them so much that I just bought a backup pair here...but I didn't have to. My older pair is still going strong. Lastability. So, if you're not some kind of shoe diva and are looking for a good ride...get yours. I like 'em!

These shoes took my back through memory lane as I laced them up with the extra pair of FAT laces that were provided.. That was a nice surprise! I will be ordering another pair of these once I scuff these up on these next few months of summer. Haha! Old School is the only school I know! Great buy! Fast shipping! All around excellent service! Thanks!!!

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.)

Being this is my second pair of Puma's and like most of the reviews on here....If your going to purchase Puma's always buy 1/2 size larger. You will save your self a lot of time by doing this. Look at other reviews and you will see many on here have said the same thing....Select 1/2 size larger.....
This is a great driving shoe and looks great....guess that's why they call them "Fashion Sneakers...
Reviewer Thomas DeFanti
shoe is made very well, good quality..I purchased a similar pair and I had to get one size larger than my regular shoes. really liked the shoes, my advise is purchase one size larger than your true shoe size, also when I received a pair of shoes similar to these as a gift, I ran into a problem. The shoe had laces off to the side, not centered with shoe. I wore them only one time and the next day when I was putting them on, one eye loop tore. I contacted PUMA and they stated I need receipt, when and where purchased. I contacted the person who gave them as a gift and they did not save receipt, due to that I saved the shoe to wear on my vacation which were months away. It has been over a year ago, and I still have the shoes in the box sitting in my closet. Be very cautious about purchasing PUMA shoes with eye loops, if so make sure you save receipt.
