I shouldn't of had waited so long to purchase these shoes! From walking to playing soccer with my children these shoes are just so comfortable and have helped with a heal injury that would always come back with my previous running shoes.

Broke them in by just walking, first paid of minimalist shoes Ive owned. Walked about 10 miles over the course of a week and A half or so. My first run was 4 miles and amazing. My lace certainly was slower at first just getting used to the feel, which doesnt bother me. I wanted to ease in and not hurt myself. Seriously love the shoes, love the small company and supporting small businesses. My husband is waiting for his size to come back into stock so that he can purchase his first pair!

I love that they feel great on my feet. They are also helping my back a lot. I have huge back issues, but when I wear these sneakers, I can feel the difference right away. My gait changes and my pain is relieved. I am grateful that my friend had told me about them. Now, I want to get the fabric flats!!

I was looking for a zero drop, flexible "sneaker" type shoe and these fit the bill- very comfortable, nice wide toe box, pretty durable sole. Wouldn't mind a few more color selections in neutral tones!

I love the Prio and hope you get more in. It has room for my orthotics which most shoes don't. Thanks, and let me know when you get more!

I love these sneakers and how wide my toes are able to spread in them. I used to get knee aches and i had a crunch in my hip on more cushioned running shoes, now I have no issues On these sneakers.

Purchased a pair of prios to use for multiple uses such as walking on a treadmill, walking on pavement and for my trip to Glacier national park. They surpassed my expectations. I love them!!! I plan to invest in more Xero shoes.

I have returned them as they did not fit like the black prios that I have. They are much tighter and more narrow in the toe box. I love my first pair I ordered through Amazon in April. I wear them everyday

When I first put on, I thought they were too small, but I gave them another shot and decided I liked them. I think the unusual toe box shape threw me.
I did a test run, and only meant to do a mile but they felt so good I did 3. The next day the bottom of one foot had a callous, so I over did it. I could definitely feel my calves working more than normal. I do like just walking in them also.
Overall I’m happy with them. I’m going to ease into running with them more. The soles feel like they’ll last a while.
I normally run in Brooks Ghost 8.5. These are an 8.5 and They fit with just a tiny bit extra. Maybe a 9 would have been better. I just wear with thin socks.

I am wearing them for plantar fasciitis so it’s about feeling some discomfort and correcting your gate.

This is my second pair of Prios. I bought my first pair directly from the Xero website. I wear them all day every day and would probably still be wearing my first pair if I had had the discipline to not wear them gardening, which got them pretty dirty. The sole is good and tough and showed little wear after months of pavement walking. I have wide feet and bunions and these shoes do not rub anywhere; they require no break in. My first pair was black but for the second pair I got Robin's Egg, which is cute because there is more contrast in the colors.

I usually don't review products, but I had to review these shoes. I was hesitant to buy them because of the low profile but am now so happy I did. I usually wear a 7 - 7 1/2 medium shoe and I originally ordered a 7. My toes hit close to the end of the 7 but the 7 1/2 fits me perfectly. I bought them for riding my bike around town, and as I get more comfortable in them, I find myself wearing them on short walks. I'm sure they will graduate to longer walk status soon! The violet color are really fun to wear.

I am a recent convert to the minimalist shoe movement and this is my second pair of Xero shoes. I'm becoming a big fan. There is small amount of getting used to the "barefoot" feel but it's working great for me. My feet, legs, back and hips feel much better since I switched from a highly padded, thick soled sneaker.

Feel great. Feet feel tired as I’m used not used to barefoot style shoes. My toes love the extra space!

Love these shoes so much. I got the purple color and they are adorable. The perfect minimalist sneaker. I walk miles and miles in them every day and they are awesome!

These are so comfortable that is the only pair of shoes I wear all day , and Leto then on until going to bed. I don’t feel the need to take them off to rest my feet. They are also great walking shoes, comfortable from the beginning. But do wear them a little at a time. Your body needs to adjust to the zero drop angle ( completely flat).
I will be buying more xero shoes soon!

I wear and 81/2 and the size was perfect, the look is perfect, but my foot could not adjust to the thin flat sole. I love the concept and the look of these shoes, but not the feeling. I guess I’m going back to Brooks.

This was comfortable shoe. I didn't like the toe that was more square. Personal preference.

Very flexible, which I wanted. But so little cushion that my kitchen floor felt hard when I put them on. Not something I'd go for a run in on concrete sadly. Was looking for an alternative to the Nike Free Run. For flexibility in the sole, this gets a lot of points. But it doesn't provide the cushion. It's a hard combination to find.

They were a little strange when I first put them on cause I feel like they have no support at all but I played pickle ball in them and then I was pleasantly surprised!! I really thought I wouldn’t like them or my knee would start hurting wearing them …but I did! They have more of a duck foot appearance than your regular sneakers but I kinda like it! Different! Can seem to move more agile in them! Did add an arch support insert next time I played which seemed better!

I found these shoes difficult to slide into and one of the shoes had a seam inside that rubbed the top of my foot. I tried them without the inner sole and found them too sensitive to the feel of the ground for my comfort. Otherwise, they are well made and may fit someone else better.

If you like a zero drop shoe with lots of toe room this shoe is for you! It is very minimalist so if you need even a little padding or arch support you might want to add an insole.

These a good looking and the soles are nice and not slippery. However, they are a bit wide and a bit short even though I ordered my regular size as recommended. They will not work for me.
