Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Prio

I am normally a 10.5 or 11. I read that Xeros run small, so I ordered an 11 of the Prio. They were definitely too LARGE. I didn’t love the style either, so I’m trying a different Xero style in 10.5.

The overall shoe fit well in in terms of size. However, the left shoe was not well stitched on the inside. All the parts that come together to hold the laces were exposed and rubbed uncomfortably. The right shoe was fine - so it looks like one of the pair wasn't finished properly. Exchanging and hoping that I get a well stitched pair.

Tried two pairs of these. After a few months the first pair had a sole separate, also after a few months the second pair had tongue stitching fail. These shoes are comfortable and fit my feet very well. It's a shame they only last a few months. I'll be looking for something else.

My goal was to find a replacement shoe for training and these did not fit the bill. They are great shoes for day-to-day wear. The toe box is very roomy but too roomy for my preference in lifting/crossfit/HIIT. They look nice and the laces were great, just too padded and bulky for athletics. I hope Xero makes a shoe similar to Merrell's bodyglove or INOV-8's bare-XF. These are the type of shoe better suited to certain sports (any day to day use).

Got my usual Size 8 and it's huge on me. I like the wide toe box, but there is very little cushioning and zero arch support.

Material is good, the style is wierd. The fit had good toe box size but the shoe still felt narrow. Overall, it's a good shoe to explore minimalist shoe, but it wasn't for me.

They're comfortable, for sure. However, they're falling apart quite early. They're probably my least worn shoes. I think it may be because the material has become wetted several times. I have no issues with my other shoes, and I have 4 pairs of shoes and one pair of sandals from Xero. I love them, just not these.

I love these shoes! I've owned them for 6+ months and my feet haven't ached in the morning since then! My only issue is that the bottom of the shoes come off, and just kinda dangle? I contacted customer service a few months ago with pictures about this issue I never got a response back. I was a little disappointed, but I've been working with the shoes I've got and I'm happy!

Its not a bad show but its rather bulky compared to my vapor glove or trail glove in same size. Had to use a thick insole to get my foot to fit nice inside but visually looks like a boot.

I love these shoes. They look great and feel great, but they are coming apart already and ive only had them about 2 months. I would be disappointed if they were half the price that they are, but for the price I paid I'd like them to last a lot longer than these are.

They fit great, and are really comfortable and I think think they look great too. After a few hours wearing them, I have a minor pain that resembles plantar fasciitis. I have no idea if the shoes are to blame or not. I have really flat feet, and custom orthotics from a chiropractor, and she doesnt want me wearing these shoes.

Ive had these shoes for about 3 months now. They look and feel great. A little more cushion than I was used to with my Vivos but not enough to dull sensation. I wear them almost everyday but dont use have only used them for vigorous running or playing sports a few times because every time I did I felt like I was going to bust out of the shoe. Well....that happened. The toe box is already coming separated from the sole on my right shoe. I was disappointed because I feel like I treat my Vivos 5x rougher but theyve held up for over 5 years now and look only a little worse for wear. I would recommend this shoe as a casual walker, not for sports or exercise despite its sleek appearance.

Background/Disclaimer: I'm 5'9" and 150 pounds, been an off and on runner since 1980. Currently run about 100 miles/month mostly on dirt roads, some asphalt and a few miles on trails. I've experimented with true barefoot running for about a decade on and off, but never more than a mile or two just a few times a month and always on a track or athletic field to protect my feet. The Prios are my first foray into 100 percent barefoot style running shoes, though I have owned a pair of Z-trek sandals from Xeroshoes for some time.

Well made but might not be best for a heavier person. The fit is good but the lack of any cushioning takes some getting used to especially for longer walks where if you have knee issues as in my case causes some discomfort. Quality and foot fit is great.

Wish I could give you a fair appraisal

Great shoe. Looks great, feels great. But the sizing is way to big. I use 44 (eu) in more or less all brands. Some adidas models run a little small, so I have two or three pairs a half size larger. These shoes is one whole size to big. I ordered a 11 us which corresponds to 44 eu in xero's charts, and there is a 2 cm gap from the the front tip of my big toe to the front inner edge of the shoe. A size 10 would be just right, as one size down would mean 1 cm shorter. Now my feet are swimming in them, they are just too large. So be ware.

This shoe struck me as a "meh" shoe. I like the ankle and rear foot support, but the toe box is WAY too narrow, and it causes my pinky to curl into the fourth toe. Very disappointed, as this was marketed as a wide toe box.

I love Zappos! And Xero shoes. I have one pair and wanted another. Because the shoes aren’t marked with any kind of a designation, I took a chance on these. The length was fine but the toe area was way too wide. I will try again with another pair.

Feel flimsy. Limited support but that’s intentional.

My husband is a true 9.5 and has worn Xero shoes before. These are very different from previous models - much narrower. They are also a full ounce heavier than previous models. Also, the removeable footbed rolls out too easily - very slippery. Something has changed at Xero as I'm reading similar reviews on their latest product this year.

The website said these run true to size. To be safe I went a half size higher than my usual. They were still too small. Had to return the shoes.

This was my first attempt at some minimalist shoes. As my first minimalist shoes, I was happy that they had an insole to be able to help transition from my "normal" padded shoes. Unfortunately, it seems that any amount of walking causes the insole to slowly start sliding back under my heel, leaving a gap under the toe. Apparently some other people on Reddit have had the same issue after a decline in quality of the insole material. The comfort is quite good until this happens - at which point its really irritating behind the heel and feeling the edge of the insole under the toes. I haven't gotten to put any distance on them because of this issue. The style is OK - obviously the wider toe box is a bit less fashionable, but I'm at a point where I'm more about something that is anatomically correct for my feet and body than trying to be a model. The insole sliding issue means that I'll be sending these back and trying a different brand/model.

comfortable, lite weight shoes BUT have bruised my feet after 3 runs (2 miles each) despite running in other minimalist/barefoot shoes for the past few years (New Balance and Merrell).

Cheaply made - returned first pair because "leather" was splitting after a couple of months... replacement was easy, yet second pair not much better. Done it Xero...

My true size is US9.5, and I was told that I would need half a size bigger to allow for more toe rooms so I bought US10 size. After wearing a couple of times, I felt the toes would jam into the front so I removed my think socks, but it would still cause jamming into my toes, so I removed the inner sole to make more room, but after wearing a while in bare feet it still would jam into the toes. So for this brand of shoes, one would need to order one full size up from true size in order to accommodate for proper toe expansion.
