Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Prio

Great looking shoe. Can't wait to try it out at the gym

Love my Xero's! This is my pair. I was skeptical about barefoot shoes at first but I am loving them now! No more plantar fasciitis pain or low back pain!

Purple Xeros are everything I want in a barefoot style shoe. I love the wide toe box and minimal padding. Love the color and the lightness for packing and jumping! Can't wait to order more!!

Perfect fit my usual size. This is my second pair of Prios and I love them. I wear them almost everyday. I like the way they look too. Love gray, they go with most everything.

Great looking shoes and felt great for CrossFit.

These shoes are quite comfortable and very nice looking—a little something different for a change!

This is my first pair of barefoot shoes. Didn’t really know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. They are really comfortable and I like the way they look. They’re so pretty. I’m now on my 5th pair. They not only look good but they have helped my balance so much. I’m so glad I got them.

These are zero drop shoes so there is not supposed to be an arch support. It takes a day or two to get used to the difference, but I absolutely love them. I've always felt better in flat shoes and these are finally just right. The width gives your feet room to naturally spread. I didn't realize that I was having trouble with my feet, constantly switching shoes, because of all the different footbeds and cushioning. I've finally found the right shoe.

Unfortunately I have a high instep and not narrow feet and bunion couldn't fit my feet inside shoe. If you have a narrow feet you shouldn't have a problem.

Happy every time I put them on!

These running shoes look cute enough to wear when casually dressed, and I love them for running or walking.

Due to a hip replacement there is a 1/4” difference in my leg length so I have to wear a lift in my right shoe to compensate. Therefore I have trouble finding a shoe that will accommodate, fit comfortably and look good. These check all the boxes. Plus I really appreciate the wider toe box. I wear a medium width and these are not larger in the toe box area because of that. Still plenty of room to wear my no show socks. Love these??!

Yes there is not arch support, cause it is a shoe that is suppose to help you go back to your natural walking when you did not have the arch support yet. I really enjoy them. I feel like my feet can breath and take a break from the safety shoes I have to wear at work. I wear these on my days off for a few hours at a time. And my feet feel great. If you want more reviews. Just go the the website for Xero shoes.

I absolutely love these shoes! I’ve had a nerve and plantar fascia issue in my left foot for years. Regular shoes seem to aggravate the nerve issue causing severe pain. I got this pair in Feb 2022 and I have had very little issues since I started wearing them. Plenty of room in the toe box and my foot is allowed to move naturally.

My first experience with zero-drop shoes, and I'm a fan. These are stretchy and protective without heavy construction. They're as comfortable as a pair of slippers, and make it much easier for me to maintain an aligned posture.

I usually wear a size 8.5M in US Womens but ordered a 9 since other reviewers recommended to size up. The 9 fits perfectly! I wore them with the included sole the first few days and then took out the sole for better “barefoot” benefits. Love this! I will likely buy this brand again in other styles soon.

Perfect fit and color. Received lots of compliments on these shoes. Very comfortable to wear.

Although these aren't the most stylish pair of shoes I've ever purchased, they are without question the most comfortable. I have osteoporosis in my spine (a side effect of a cancer medication), so I have to be very careful not to fall. These shoes allow me to spread my toes out, which, along with the flat sole, helps me maintain my balance. I plan to recommend them to all my friends!

I wanted to love this shoe, but the sizing didn't work out. For reference, my favorite athletic shoe has been a Nike Zero in size 8, and I've worn them out. I've wanted to find a minimal barefoot shoe, and several friends rave about this brand, so I decided to order a women's 8.5 (in case the shoes ran small). The 8.5 was way too tight, both in the length and width. Other than sizing, the shoe felt like a cloud! It was light and flexible. I might try ordering the equivalent men's shoe to get a wider fit for my toes.

I absolutely love these shoes. They fit my foot just right, without squishing them or being too wide. My toes have plenty of room to move around, but they don’t look like clown shoes, the way some minimalist shoes do. They’re great for workouts, casualwear, and or stylish enough to pair with cuter outfits as well.

Very nice wide toe box. I ordered half size up and was perfect.

Bought on Zappos. Fit is 1/2 size smaller than what I normally wear (My 7.5 translates to a 7). Oddly enough (because I am someone who wears orthotics in my shoe) these felt rather nice. Surprisingly so. What a nice surprise considering I had just rejected a good 2 dozen via mail shoes from companies that are outstanding and I had previously worn for higher level of stability and support. Back they all went. It was rather a joke, return labels being printed right and left. Then, I took a chance thinking outside of the box, because a prior pair of Salomon felt rather minimalist/feel the ground to that style, which Salomon had since discontinued. This put back that steady feel the ground to a shoe and felt amazing right off the bat. Took it to the street, and realized needed a touch of cushioning (via heel cushions) which lay nicely under the insole that came with the shoe. Yup... ya use an orthotic and this can adapt. With that realization in mind, I turned that thinking up a notch to accommodate my low arches and need to lift the heel with a thin insole in place of the one that came with it. Dr. Scholl’s Plantar Fasciitis (this worked) or Superfeet carbon (this is yet to arrive) are potential candidates for this. I am used to that dance, for I've been doing it for years, and am a bit of an expert at adapting shoes to match my needs. I am fit, 63, but the docs cannot believe my age... All because I keep my tail moving, hiking etc. alongside of nutrition. What you put in, you definitely get in. It's like a health investment that pays dividends for years to come. So if you are wondering if you can make that transition to a different type of shoe that is minimalist, the Prios is that entry door. In fact I will probably go back to the insoles that came with these shoes when not on pavement, when hiking on dirt trails for it really felt nice and didn't feel like it needed that extra support under those (dirt ground, vs pavement/sidewalk) conditions. There is some sort of shaping support to the natural sole of this shoe, that doesn't quite leave you flat bottomed. I have inspected it and have come to that conclusion. So nice to loose all that bulk, for it was really feeling heavy and a touch awkward compared to a more minimal shoe. As a result, I have now ordered two other Xero shoes (one hiking boot and one trail shoe) in three sizes each to figure out what is the best fit in those. I will update that here if anyone hits a like on the review. I will simply take that as a 'people are waiting to see what my take is on those' signal. The only thing that would indeed be better and give a 5 star from me is if Xero sold an orthotic for their shoes for the older or foot compromised population, so I didn't have to order that in a hunt and peck fashion, to find one that works. But yeah this is a minimalist shoe and I get that. I am just grateful minimalist to Xero does not define as no support.

Fit true to size. I am absolutely loving these shoes. Perfect for wide feet and meant for toes to splay how they do when you are barefooted. As a hairstylist and on my feet all the time I needed something that would be comfortable. Crocs were always my go-to but I wanted to give something else a try. I've read that barefoot shoes can improve your foot strength by up to 60% by retraining them. I was amazed when my foot stopped hurting like it was. I definitely plan to get a couple more of their styles if my feel continue to do well in these!

I really like these shoes however they were about a half size too big. I usually wear I size 6 but there was too much room at the toe end in these so I had to return and have exchanged them for a 5.5 which fits perfect. Thanks Zappos for super easy return and exchange on these.

Extremely comfortable shoe; great for those transitioning to barefoot style shoes. I plan to use it as my everyday shoe for walking for exercise, running errands, etc. I also plan to try it out it as my trail shoe (light hikes in the woods), as I no longer want to use my usual hiking shoe due to it's high drop.
