Okay, these are (or appear to be) all cloth, even the soles. Mine are pretty tight fitting but I’ve bought other slip on type shoes that seem to fit just right and after wearing them for a bit then there too loose, so I’m hoping that after I wear these, they loosen up a bit and for just right.
What I DO like is they are light weight and due to the cloth soles, my feet breathe much better than wearing rubber or plastic soles slippers.

My husband goes through shoes like crazy so I try to buy him a pair for his birthday in the summer or for the holidays. Vans are obviously more durable than the $15 shoes from Wal-Mart or Target, but paying the extra $30 for a few extra months is well worth it since my husband can go through 4 pairs of the cheap shoes in 6 months, easy!

When my husband's sneakers started wearing out after only a couple of months, he picked these out on Amazon and has been raving about them ever since. He wears a size 8, which is what I ordered, and has a very narrow foot. These fit perfectly.
Reviewer Jake Hester
Cute. I wear 8.5, bought an 8.5, and it fits perfectly
Reviewer John M Thorpe
I had to get a size smaller. I am usually in a womens 10 but got these in a 9 and they fit perfect.

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.
