Im in love with the wide toe box and fit of these. I got them in purple and Im obsessed. I use them for indoor exercise in my home gym or at a studio and they are 100% perfect for my feet!! I have narrow feet and they work great.

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 usually buy a specialty sneaker for working out, since I also wear Correct Toes spacers and toe socks, for balance. I have weird toes, what can I say? I usually buy Altras, but I wear the treads out fast, like six months, so I decided to try these out. I am impressed. Hopefully, it will last longer. They are really lightweight and super comfortable. They do feel different and in a good way. Most likely I will buy another pair. Wearing spacers you have to go a half size up, but I have noticed the same size Altras fit me perfectly.

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!

The shoes were hard to get on at first, they had to be unlaced some and wide open to get on...but, they feel goo on with good toe room. Comfortable to walk in. My color was blue but I had wanted the lavender. No real girly looking but alright. I am a senior lady and I was looking for that barefoot feeling since I have neuropathy and need total comfort.

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 have started to experience heel pain from being on my feet for hours at work. I have flat feet and also suffer from shoes that cause rubbing on my outer sides ( there are big bumps on either foot..not sure if they're bunions or what) and no shoe has been pain free until now. A coworker told me her PT recommended Xero shoes for foot health..her and I both own Hoka Bondi 7s. And it was actually under her recommendation that I found the Hokas and purchased them a month ago. She told me that her PT told her that the foot pain will never truly heal with the Hokas because her foot will never be strengthened the way they would in a barefoot shoe. He recommended Xeros. This info blew my mind since it was so contrary to what I've known, but it also made sense to me. Since I still somewhat suffer from shoes that don't accommodate my wide feet (had to order the Hokas in wide and still have some pain) I was up for trying them. A barefoot shoe is naturally shaped to a foot right out of the gate...no special sizing required. They just arrived today, so I have no idea how they'll perform for the long haul but immediately my foot fit in them. And they were comfortable. Also, because I can make a clear connection with my foot fall and the ground through the thin sole, I could immediately feel how "wrong" I was walking. On my right, and most problematic foot, I was walking on the outer side of my foot. The inside of my foot was barely even making contact with the ground. Now that I know this, I can work on correcting it. I'm easing into it so I don't have pain...my current work shoes have one of the biggest soles I've seen.

I wanted a lightweight, barefoot-feel running shoe and I got it! Very comfortable and flexible, and cute on my size 10 feet.

I got these for my wife. She absolutely loves them. She has very wide feet, as in double-wide shoe sizes, and this fits her a half size up from her "true" size. She raves about how comfortable these are.

I bought my Xero shoes from the Xero website, before Zappos carried them. I will buy my next pair from Zappos for the expedited shipping. These are not the most stylish sneakers in the world. However, I find they are my go-to sneakers for everyday wear and especially for long walks. I can no longer tolerate shoes with huge soles -- I feel unsteady on them. I feel much more confident in the low profile Xeros. I do recommend that you give these a try.

They fit very well! I have Mortons Neuromas and need a wide toe box, and my feet are very comfortable in them. I wish they didn't have the stripes on them. It would be nicer if they were just a solid color, but as for comfort for my Mortons Neuroma problem, they can't be beat.

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.

Good shoe for minimalist who needs some protection and/or to look more conventional. Be aware that the heel/back of the shoe is very wide and cannot be tightened without tightening the instep (over the arch). I liked them, but they began to make my foot burn just in the house. I have a very high arch, so the problem was my foot, not the shoe. Give them a try. Very pretty in purple!
