I wear orthodics in these shoes. They fit like slippers and I wear them everyday. This is my second pair; I wore the first pair out

This is my third pair of Xero shoes. This pair feels a little snug and I bought the exact same size. I am hoping after a month of wearing them; they will loosen up

I like the light weight of the shoes. Using primarily for gym rowing and treadmill. The front third of the shoe feels wide, so not sure about stability in an outside environment.

The minimal sole support is okay, but the middle-laced portion of the shoe felt like it restricted my feet too much. Runs big, 1/2 larger. Not sure I'll be buying another pair. They need to refine this shoe style.

I have wide feet and a lot of wide width shoes don't fit the sides of my feet, but these in medium width fit me perfectly with toe room to spare I might add. First barefoot/minimalist shoe I've tried and lives up to the description, can feel what you're stepping on and does seem to work parts of your feet that cushioned shoes don't (judging by how sore my hamstrings were after a half mile jog). Do feel like I overpaid even though I got these for a discounted $80~ or so though. Might add a star if these hold up in durability and I remember.

This was the first time buying a barefoot shoes after having issues with my normal brand. Overall not a bad shoe I have only ran about five miles in them. My only complaint is the color I love bright colors and for my size it was black or blue.

They feel nice so far on wide feet. I tend to stand a lot while barefoot and these add just a little layer of cushion. I bought the black/white and the red. I'm not in love with the style, although it isn't terrible. The reds were a little ridiculous looking while the black/white masks the slightly goofy proportions of the shoe.

Transitioning from regular to zero drop with thin soles is not easy. But these shoes are good. I don’t feel comfortable walking on pavement for more than half a mile. But good in gym or casual office wear setting.
Probably will get used to it. I like the shoe overall.

this is a nice shoe--looks good and is well constructed, but it for folks who like to go bare foot. The sole is thin

The shoes fit great, but the soles are a little stiffer than I would prefer, based on similar shoes I've had. However, that probably means that they will wear longer than some others. They are well-made and sturdy, and I like the way they look. I plan to get a lot of use out of them.
I'd also recommend:
Merrell

These are nice looking shoes. They felt good, but didn't seem like they would be very robust in the long term. More of a lounging/style type shoe. I went with the Keens instead due to the robustness. I did like the way these looked a little better though.

Once you figure out the proper size for this type of shoe, they fit great. I continue to buy them because they are some of the most comfortable shoes I've found. To me, they blend the best of a "barefoot style" shoe with the protection of something a little sturdier. I can't feel every little pebble in the road, but I can feel the road, know what I mean? There's no arch support, and the heel isn't built up.
The blue color makes me feel cheerful. It's bright, but not too bright.
I deducted one star from the overall score because they wear out pretty quickly. I ordered a pair in April, and today (early December), one shoe's heel has a hole in it. Keep in mind that these have pandemic miles on them -- that is, for me, far less than normal wear. I put them on for my daily walk (1 hour) and quick errands outside. Otherwise, they are parked next to the door. (To be fair, I'm not exactly light on my feet. But for the cost, I hoped for greater longevity.)
I'd also recommend:
None. Only Xero shoes for me.

Good if you need a wide toe box shoe. But no arch support and feel like you’re walking barefoot given lack of padding.

Size 10 fits me perfectly in most cases. These felt like 9s. Since Zappos didn't have 10.5, I ordered from Xero having been assured by Xero the 10.5 should be fine. We'll see. They are pretty though right?

Shoes fit well and are flat, flexible, and thin, though not exactly foot shaped toward the toes as other minimalist shoe brands tend to be. Great overall except for the toe box not being quite wide enough for feet to splay.

My primary use is walking, so I'll review it with that in mind. The style is awesome (love the 'lunar' look) and I really appreciate the fit, which is roomy but not bulky or drapey. Only two downsides: 1) I had a couple of pairs with inconsistencies in manufacturing, from improperly fitted soles to surprisingly different fit, and 2) these shoes surprisingly breathe a lot less than my Gen 5 Merrell Trail Gloves.

I like it so far. It may replace my Merrell trail runner 4, which is not made anymore. If the shoe wears well, I will give it five stars.

Love the shoe, but I think I could do better in a 10.5 instead of an 11.

Sizing was a bit off with both pairs, they get a bit slippery on wet surfaces, and the first pair I had had to be warranty exchanged after about 6 months-customer service for this was flawless. The extra room in the toe box is magnificent! Feeling the surfaces below without all that extra cushion makes me feel so much more sure-footed and my balance has improved remarkably since using these. All in all, my feet are definitely happier.

The shoes are very comfortable. Only issue I had are that Prios run a bit bigger than what the Excurions do. I have the Excursion before the changed the design and they are my go to shoe. The Prios are my back up go Roa for everything.

Great functional barefoot shoe. Quality. They look a little wide or fat in the upper, and I dont mean the toe box I mean like padding around ankle etc. from the pictures, Im looking forward to getting my hands (or feet) on a pair of hfs at some point in the future, as well as a trail option
