Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Prio

What a feeling to get my feet back on the ground! Bought a pair for my wife and son as well, this is how we were meant to walk!

These shoes are great. It's a big change for me, but so glad I found them.

I bought these for my 13 y/o son and now he doesnt want to take them off! He says they are more comfortable than his flip flops and let him run around as he likes. I couldnt be happier.

I love the Prio! They give my feet room to breath but don't slide around when running or working out. I like the look of my all black shoes too.

Being someone with flat feet and a bad i can really appreciate these shose i also practice chi gung and now these are my go to shoe when training the feed back from the ground is almost like being bare foot, love ya work guys.

XERO SHOE HAS THE SENSATION OF WEARING NO SHOES AT ALL. ELEVATED HEELS IN RUNNING SHOES THREW OFF MY BALANCE AND COMPROMISED MY ARCH. AS DEMONSTRATED IN YOUR VIDEO MY ARCH WASNT ALLOWED TO DO WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. NEVER THOUGHT ID BE ABLE TO RUN AGAIN BUT I CAN NOW AT LEAST DO EASY JOGS. DID FOUR NYC MARATHONS IN YEARS PAST. MAY HAVE ONE MORE LEFT IN ME AT 79. BORN TO RUN AND EL CABALLO BLANCO/TARAHUMARA QUITE A STORY AND MOST LIKELY AN INSPIRATION FOR THE XERO SHOE. GOOD WALKING/RUNNING SHOE.

I was going through shoes like crazy but with Xero shoes sole warranty I had to get these. I had barely any treadware even after a year and I walk 5-10 miles/day at my job.

I was skeptical before I bought them and at first wearing because since I started walking and jogging 5 years ago Ive started to have increasing worse soreness in my arches, so started buying increasing more padded, pillowy shoes, but the problem got worse. I thought maybe its just a part of middle age and considered getting fitted for special arch supports. But, no, these did the trick. I guess the other shoes were too soft and causing muscle atrophy or something. Im beyond relieved the problem has finally been solved. Really love these shoes.

The new pair was a warranty replacement, after about a year and a half there was some tearing and Xero was great about it, their 2 year warranty is solid and after sending back the old shoes they sent me a new pair free of charge.

It's been 2 months since I got the shoes. It is very hard to shift from "commercial" running shoes to a minimalist shoe. I was sore the first time I ran 5km. I was sore in places I never knew there were muscles as I never worked those particular muscles with the other shoes. I used to have lower back ache when running and now it is almost gone. Even the my sore knee is recovering and I can't feel it being sore anymore.

I wanted to live the product and support your vision, however, upon tightening the tongue and lacing up my first day, the tongue tore on the inside. Its not entirely ripped off of the body of the sneaker, but I can feel the stitch and tear from the inside, with my foot and fingers.

Surprisingly comfortable and well-fitting shoes. I use them for running, sports and casual wear. I'm wearing them even now while writing this review. They are pleasantly wide. They do slip when playing sports on grass, but that's to be expected. The only thing that disappointed me was the color. I ordered the black version, which according to the photos is supposed to have quite distinctive grey stripes. But in real life, they are not significantly visible and the whole shoe is so strangely dark black that it looks like a low rubber boot.

These are my everyday shoes and theyre awesome! Highly Recommend

Awesome, wonderful shoe, I have had them for 53 days!!! You can feel the ground and every little thing you step on. My back and knees do not hurt after running/walking. If you need more ground feel just pull out the removable insole. Very Comfortable, they air out nicely, no smell. They could look better(one of the better looking barefoot shoes) but, because of all the other benefits its definitely 5 stars.

I started my barefoot/minimalist shoe journey with a pair of your Genesis sandals due to the 5,000 mile sole warranty (I used to wear out sandals and flip-flops quickly), then used a pair of Merrell Vapor Glove 3, but my most recent pair was your Prio and I love them! I am in IT and I have a desk treadmill, so the all black pair made the dress code, but I could still walk in my barefoot shoes. These are so much more comfortable than my Merrell's, which I still use for dirty jobs, but plan on getting something else from you once my Merrell's wear out. They have just enough protection in the soles so that most things don't hurt, but I can still feel everything well.

The shoe fit well but I was looking for a bit more cushion because I can't always run on the trail.

I dont do surveys unless you want to pay my current hourly rate at $300 per hour min 2 hours?

I love my Prios! I can wear them all day and my feet feel great! Hoping to get a leather pair of Xero's for the office soon!

These shoes are built tough, I have a pair that I have worn at work for 2 years just to see how long they would last and they are still holding up but are nearing there end. I am a mechanic and I am on my feet all day and the shoes get exposed to oil and gas and coolant all the time with no issues. The inner lining of the shoes gave out first but didnt effect the comfort level more of a visual thing when putting on or taking off. Bottom line is Zero shoes are awesome, I own many pairs for different occasions.

I bought these shoes a year ago. When I first tried wearing them they felt really good on my right foot, but within a few minutes my left foot was in excruciating pain. So I put the shoes in my closet, considered them a waste of money and forgot about them. I had a injury to the ball of my left foot when I was in the military and since then have struggled with finding footwear that I could walk comfortably in. I eventually had to resort to custom orthodics and shoes in order to not be in pain with every step. About a month ago I read the book 'Born To Run' about indigenous running people in Mexico that could run 100's of miles with nothing, but rubber Sandals on their feet. The book also discussed how modern footwear was developed and why modern shoes are bad for your feet. After reading the book I was reminded of my pair Xero Prior collecting dust in my closet. So, I decided to give them another try. I started slow wearing them for a few minutes at a time several times a day. Then gradually increased my time wearing them based on how my feet felt. I am now wearing my Xero shoes almost exclusively and for the first time in 20 years I don't have pain in the ball of my left foot. Today I noticed that the soles of my feet are becoming very muscular and th skin on my feet are becoming thick and tough. I am so glad I decided to give these shoes another try. The more I wear them the more comfortable they get. I also love the biofeedback I get from being able to feel the ground under my feet. I feel more stable and my balance has improved because of it. Highly recommend, however you may need to make the transition very very slowly.

Light. Airey. My feet have never felt better.

These shoes are excellent. I walk in them everyday, averaging 7km, and have had no issues. Took about a day or two to get used to them as you end up using different muscles and tendons to adjust, but once made, hips, knees, all joints, are much improved.

I think these shoes are a great product. I am using the Prio as my racquetball shoes. I did get some great negative feedback when I landed on my heel, but I have adjusted and love using them now. Interesting enough, when I put my very high dollar court shoe on now, it feels that I have no support whatsoever. It feels like I am going to lose my balance.

While I love the look and feel of these shoes, after 2 months the sole is splitting apart from the side of the shoe and also at the front under the toes which has tripped me up a couple of times on my runs. I switched to these shoes from merrell trail gloves. While I do like these better than the trail gloves, they tended to at least last a year or so while rotating my shoes.

I love that these have the comfort I've come to expect from Xero - the soles are fantastic, and the padding around the ankle is nice. The lacing system works well, and I really feel like I can move in these and all of it feels very natural. Also, LOVE the Lunar colorway - they look stylish, but professional enough to wear to work. Excellent shoe overall, probably will buy again when they wear out.
