Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Prio

I didn't really like the feel of the Prio. I ordered 3 different Xero shoes to try and compare, and this was my least favorite. It fits true to size, but it felt very thick everywhere, around my ankle, the whole shoe and toe box. So much padding! For a petite, low volume foot, I just felt like I was wearing a clown shoe. The HFS was awesome (although it ran half size small); it was so comfortable on my foot, just felt like I wasn't even wearing a shoe at all! However, since it will be my first barefoot shoe, I opted to keep the 360, as it is also very comfortable, will be better for cross training, and this way I can test out running in a barefoot shoe with a bit more cushion on the sole. Prio runs true to size, as does 360. HFS ran a half size smaller than usual. Prio and 360 fit me in 5.5, which is my usual size (for example I wear 5.5 in Brooks running shoes). Had I wanted to keep the HFS, I would have had to re-order it in a 6.

I love these shoes. I have struggled with foot issues for years - plantar fasciitis, a bunion, sore feet. My podiatrist suggested I look at these issues as biometric ones -- how my foot lands, how it moves, how it balances. These shoes address all those issues. I can feel the ground, use my toes more, use my foot muscles more. I wore them half a day for a few days, as I've never used zero or near-zero shoes before, but quickly they became my wear-all-the-time shoe. The wide toebox is wonderful. And, the shoes look great! I am more confident with my feet than I was in traditional thick-soled sneakers. I really love these shoes.

So comfortable

my first try at minimalist shoes. 0mm heals, very little padding in soles. They do have padding around the ankles which allows me to wear them even though I have narrow feet.

These shoes are awesome! I'm transitioning all my footwear to barefoot style shoes and I was nervous with running shoes. These are comfortable, and don't stick out as barefoot shoes style wise like some do. They look like any other shoe but don't restrict your feet. You can really feel the road when you run in them which I'm getting used to. Anya's Reviews on Pinterest is a great resource for barefoot shoe info.

These shoes are so comfortable. I use them for work an often have to walk and be on my feet a lot. They wore out a lot quicker than a pair of Merrell trail running shoes I had. But honestly I'm going to buy another pair of Xero shoes and not the Merrell's again because the Xero's are more comfortable than the Merrell;s

After trying to decipher the Xero size charts and reading reviews I decided to order a 9.5 which is the size I wear regardless of brand. They are too small! My toes press against the front of the toe box.

Love these shoes! I have been looking for a functionally barefoot shoe that doesn't "look" like a barefoot shoe and I have finally found my favorite pair! The only complaint is I need longer shoe strings as I have a high/thick midfoot but I dont mind purchasing some to replace and often have to do this with my shoes.

I wear a 5.5 in nearly everything, I ordered these new to the brand. At first trying them on I thought they may be just too perfectly sized to my foot (my toe felt slightly too close) but decided to keep them and I am glad I did because that feeling went away and they are the perfect shoe! I have been wearing Palladium and Doc Martens for years and my body was feeling it, these have made me rethink my footwear choices.

Fantastic daily shoe and perfect for those with orthotics. I keep buying different versions because I like them so much.

Felt like wearing no shoes! lots of freedom! two insoles allow for the amount of cushion desired.

First time trying zero depth shoes. Love the generous toe box. Wore them to a Silver Sneakers workout and they felt great.

Super comfortable.

These shoes are great for the gym, with lots of room in the toe box and minimal padding to make you feel like your feet are fully engaged.

Bought these for boxing/kickboxing. Working out great. Nice wide toe box.

Perfect for Indoor Rowing! They are flat, hard and a rounded toe, which is perfect for my wider feet.

Love them

Great barefoot shoe. These aren’t for people who want or need a lot of support and cushion—it’s truly a barefoot experience. Love the style, and my husband loved the style so much he ordered a pair! Highly recommend!

I love how light weight and flexible these shoes are. I hardly feel like I am wearing anything at all! Perfect for running around town and kicking a ball around with my kids.

These shoes are exactly as described. They are the next best thing to going barefoot, which I love. If you are transitioning from shoes with a great deal of support you will need to give your feet time to get used to them.

Great fitting shoe and the wide toe box is refreshing ND comfortable.

I got these for lifting. I love them! I did size down from my usual 10 to 9.5.

The shoe itself is awesome. I’ve fallen in love with Xero shoes. I wear them during powerlifting and they provide me with the stability and comfort that I need. But, they run a bit shorter than my normal size. I wear a size 9 and ordered a size 9. My toes touch the tip of the shoe. Gonna try a half size up.

Totally comfortable shoe, no negative issues at all.

I LOVE these shoes. I’ve had them for about 9 months now and alternate them with traditional running shoes. I wear them for long walks and short (2 mile) runs. I also wear them around town a lot. I don’t wear socks with them and can’t recall them ever giving me a blister. I think they have helped improve my posture too!
