Xero Shoes Men's Prio Barefoot Athletic Sneaker

I've had these for nearly a year now and they have held up great! I only wear them in the gym so I don't worry about them degrading too much. My feet feel stronger and much more agile now that I've been going 'barefoot' while exercising. There was about a week of super mild discomfort while my body adjusted, but it was quickly overtaken by new PRs and much better performance overall. My running mile time is down and my lifts are much stronger as my legs and core have adapted to stabilizing me instead of my shoes doing all the work. They're extremely light and thin so I can pack them in my gym bag easily. They wash pretty well too. I've put them through the laundry twice now and they don't show signs of exaggerated wear from it. My feet don't really sweat as much as they used to in my old cross-trainers so they never get too funky. Definitely like the modest price too. They're not so cheap as to be suspicious but not so expensive as to feel like a ripoff for being made of half the material of a normal shoe.

I am in my 70s and have, in recent years, developed foot and knee pain. Visits to podiatrists only made my pain worse. Both podiatrists sold me expensive orthotics, which increased my knee pain so much that I could hardly walk. I told both podiatrists that I have no pain when I walk around barefoot, but they just brushed that off, saying that I should never go around barefoot because it will ruin my feet. When I started going barefoot more and more, and wearing bedroom slippers and flip-flops with no arch support, my pain virtually disappeared. The pain always came back, however, when I wore traditional brand-name athletic shoes. Eventually I discovered Xero barefoot shoes and ordered a pair. Each time I wore the Xero Shoes out walking I experienced less and less pain until, after about two weeks of wearing only these shoes, my foot and kneed pain completely disappeared. I now own four pairs of these shoes and plan to buy two more pairs, including their dress shoes. The wide toe box lets my toes spread out when I walk rather than be squeezed together, which feels much better. The zero-drop soles transfer much less force to my knees. The thin soles take some getting used to, especially when walking on concrete or asphalt sidewalks. Since the insoles are removable, I simply took them out, inserted flat cushion insoles, then put the original shoe insoles back in the shoes on top of the cushion insoles. This provides some cushioning but does not give any arch support or change the zero-drop feature of the shoes. I have since read that wearing traditional brand-name athletic shoes can eventually ruin one's feet and knees because the toes are squeezed together, the higher heels throws off the body's biomechanics, and the thick cushioning causes a person to develop weak arches. Now I only wear Xero Shoes. I realize that everyone is different, but if you have developed foot and knee pain while wearing traditional brand-name athletic shoes, you may want to give Xero shoes a try. But give them a couple of weeks to work their magic. Highly recommended!

Favorite shoe so far (just bought another pair), super comfortable, but do think the soles wear too fast. Got maybe 1000-1500 miles before they were blister factories, and their site does state like a 5k mile warranty so felt a little low on lifespan compared to brand marketing Otherwise pretty good, no forced arches or weird drop, almost like going barefoot. Gate is good when walking Fits well, maybe a touch cramped in toes. And pretty decent look for a barefoot shoe

My son loves these shoes because they are lightweight, comfortable and allows his toes to stretch out. This is his third pair. He gets one a year. These have replaced tennis shoes for him. It took him a little time initially to get used to them, but he purchased these originally after a lot of research. They are versatile and can be worn for casual or more formal events depending on the color. These were on sale for about 25 percent off of their original price so were a great value. He would highly recommend these shoes.

These have been great! I have very wide feet (4 to 6 E) These shoes actually fit my wide feet great! A very propper built shoe! Materials seem to be high quality and robust. Unlike other barefoot shoes in this price range I haven't lost any sole in the couple of months I've owned them.

If you’re using barefoot style of shoes with zero drop, these are definitely a good choice. They’re pretty comfy and lightweight and seem durable so far. I just wanna highlight that the width at the toes is not the widest for this kind of barefoot shoes so keep that mind.

My first pair of Xero Prio were the suede variety in 11.5. They fit perfectly and are my favorite shoes. I bought the regular material Xero Prio in 11.5 and they fit almost half a size smaller. Still somewhat comfortable to walk and exercise in, but my toes feel a little contact with the interior of the shoe.

The shoes are great! I came from the Merrell wrapt that I’m a size men’s 10.5 in to an 11.5 in these. I’m size 11 in Keens and New Balance 574 for reference. I have a slightly wide foot but not wide enough for EE or a wide designated shoe/boot. The Prio is a bit loose all around which is fine for me. I only give it 4/5 because it took a minute to get sizing correct and they were super squeaky on polished concrete floors. Overall very comfortable shoe with a nice design.

家の中では「かかと落とし」で歩いたりしていないのに、靴を履いたら歩き方って変わるんですね。それだけ今の靴が足を守ってくれてる事を改めて知ると同時に自身の体の軸のおかしさにも気づかせてくれた靴です。 極端に言えば、ビジネスホテルのペラペラのスリッパで外を歩いているような新鮮さにこればかりを履くようになりましたよ。

Muito bom e confortável! Certamente comprarei outros! Estou usando sem insole! Legal que o próprio tênis é construído para ambas opções, de acordo com a sua adaptação ao barefoot movement.

Looks good feels good

I now have 2 pairs of Xero Prio shoes which I use for casual wear, long walks, exercise and daily use. I'm not a runner but I put them through a decent amount of wear and they have held up well. I've had my first pair for over a year now and they still look great with no sign of damage and very little wear. The glue has held up very well with no peeling. I have flat wide feet and need room in the mid sole as well as the toe box and the Prio's provide that for me. I have been wearing barefoot shoes for about 2 years now and the Xero Prio's are my favorite daily comfort shoe. I also have some Vivo Barefoot shoes which I like but not as much as my Xero Prio's. I highly recommend the Xero Prio shoe for anyone transitioning into barefoot shoes or anyone else who wants a great comfortable zero drop, wide toe box, wide mid sole reliable shoe. If you are transitioning into barefoot shoes from regular shoes, watch some youtube videos on transitioning safely and slowly to avoid injuries. Pics provided.
