Balenciag* Wmns Runner Sneaker 'Dark Pink'

Reviewer Zee Torres

Great look and durability especially for the price. Also got them a day earlier than expected.

Reviewer KrysEnvy

Comfortable, extremely light and steel toe. Can't beat these shoes.

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.)

My husband wore these men's fashion oxford sneakers tonight for the first time. He says they're comfortable and he loves the tan leather. He didn't have any trouble lacing them up either which can be trouble for him sometimes. The soles are rubber with pure leather and fabric for the upper part of the shoes. They're comfortable to wear with the breathable mesh lining and Ortholite insoles that wick moisture and odor away. Helps to prevent fungus. My husband said the inside are very comfortable to wear as it has more cushion than he expected. The bottoms of the rubber soles have anti-slip traction for better movement even on rough ground.

My husband ordered his regular size but they were too small, so I returned them for a half size larger and they fit perfectly. So I would recommend a half size larger than your normal size. The return was easy and they shipped another pair out quickly. Great shoe and great service!

Reviewer Kianna A Stewart

Comfortable, good looking, and decent Price. Like walking on a pillow

Reviewer LEAVER

Again another comfortable shoe by New balance, size 13 fit perfect. I'm very stylish shoe. Lightweight. I've only had one pair of New balance shoes that actually were absolutely horrible I returned them. But all other 15 pairs including this one are dynamite.

Reviewer Rdog

Fits as expected, because after reading other reviews I ordered a size larger than I normally wear. Good cushion and support.

Reviewer Arlene G Bravo

The Columbia Fairbanks are comfortable, supportive, and have a good sole. The grippy sole is the most important part of a shoe for me, since I have an older individual wearing these sneakers, and avoiding slipping/falling is super important. The shoes are worn for daily walking about and work well for that.

The arch support feels great; there’s no foot fatigue at the end of a day wearing these. The mesh is breathable, but doesn’t block out any water, including puddles.

The sizing is true to size.

The look of the wide lacing is a personal preference (not a big fan) but definitely makes putting the shoes on and taking them off much easier than a narrow-tongued sneaker. Overall, the look of the shoe isn’t too athletic, so it could be worn in a variety of settings if you’re looking for comfort/support.
