Stone Island x 574 Legacy 'Steel Blue'

Reviewer marzipan

These are really awesome shoes. My 13 year old daughter has worn them out and wants another pair.

Reviewer Alex Foster

The most comfortable Brand of casual shoes I've ever worn. Can easily be worn with or without socks, look good in formal and casual situations. They last a long time, each pair I've had were well traveled and worn for 3-4 years before showing signs of wear and tear.

Reviewer Amanda K Bear

99% of the time you can count on Clarks. Well made with good quality. No other brand can say that.

Reviewer Meredeth Beers

Look for 1/2 size larger and you'll be OK

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.)

NO dislikes shoes are very confrontable.

These seem to be a bit larger than what I'm used to for a 9 1/2 but my foot is so wide they don't movemuch. It's hard finding a dope pair of 4E's and these fit the bill so they get the top rating from me.

I wanted to get a pair of old school Tigers for some time....like since the mid '70s. I was always leaning towards Mexico 66s, but I have to walk on cobblestones quite a lot and could see that they just wouldn't work for that. I then found out about the Corsair... I thought they were a ripoff of the Nike Cortez, but the Tigers were designed first in '69 when the Nike founders were working with Onitsuka Tiger, before they started their own company and split the sheets, taking the Cortez name.
Anyway, these are really comfortable and look terrific. I never see these out on the street. I did have to go up a 1/2 size because my feet are a little wide and these are a bit narrow.

Reviewer Kristy Brown

These shares are a classic look and similar to other See Vee's shoes I have purchased. They meet my expectations and the price was reasonable.

Reviewer DAVID ONEAL

Very comfortable shoe and I’m very pleased with my purchase.
