Xero Shoes Men’s Prio Suede Barefoot Athletic Sneaker

This was more or less my first real world experience with barefoot shoes, and I must admit they are comfortable shoes I have ever owned.

Breathable and nice looking. When I first purchased these, I was warned that I would have to work into these shoes. I have had for 3 weeks and I have worn all day everyday except 2 days (due to rain and/or snow). The shade looks nice and I prefer gummy soles whenever possible. I am a school teacher and I am on my feet all day. I don’t intend to use these as my running shoes, but I do walk a mile to school each day and these have not disappointed. Update- After 6 months … I still love them and I have to try another pair. During the summer, I had to do a lot of construction tasks around the house. Tasks that included reflooring our home. Lots of ups and downs — these were just so comfortable I used them all the time. They cleaned up really nice. This suade version did rough up a bit in the process. Now working on the ladder for the past week, up and down, my feet and legs and back still feel great. I AM ORDERING ANOTHER PAIR OF XEROS. Two are better than one. UPDATE.. I have had for almost 3 years now, and they have been everywhere with me. They are now retired as my home slippers. Not because they are shot, just cuz I have bought more Xeros. I am a HUGE fan now,

I bought these Xero shoes after having originally tried a much cheaper brand of barefoot shoes. I love those shoes, but they aren’t very fashionable nor built for activity besides casual walking. These on the other hand are both of those things. My normal size is a 10.5US and the size 11 fits perfectly. Lightweight and exactly the kind of support I’d expect from a barefoot shoe. Fashion is obviously an individual choice and barefoot shoes are not the norm with their wide toe box. Even so, in have still gotten compliments on their look. Overall I liked these so much, I went ahead and bought a pair of sandals as well. Which I also love.

I thought the shoes were comfortable when trying them on, usually wear size 11.5 or 12 in regular shoes, 11.5 fit with just enough extra room so my toes weren’t at the very edge. Immediate downside was that I slipped in the kitchen with vinyl flooring that had some slight oil residue from splattering while cooking. Avoid anything remotely slick.

Supremely comfortable. Worth the fairly steep price. Going to keep wearing these as my fair-weather shoes for as long as they hold up.

super lightweight shoes, really love how they look and feel

The Prio is arguably my favorite shoe I've gotten from Xero, and I'm glad that I spent the extra bit on the suede version. Now I have a shoe for general athletic activities, as well as casual formal events. I have an interesting foot shape in that I not only need a wide toe box , but also have a wide mid foot and tall foot overall. This shoe fit well across the board (was 12.5 before, and got 12.5 for this shoe) It felt almost like a slipper when first trying it out, but taking the insoles out significantly increases the barefoot feel. I like that versatility in how I can use it; for recovery or training. I recommend this shoe for anyone starting out, or several months/years into your foot health journey. Try the black suede version if you attend casual-formal events, but otherwise it seems like all Prio versions have the same fundamental build so any would be a good addition for most activities.

This was my first pair of barefoot shoes but I ended up returning them because they were too small. I normally wear a 12.5 or 13 and have a standard amount of room to spare but my toes went all the way to the end on these in size 13. Their size guide is not helpful at all because it just shows a us/uk size chart. Showing the US size and the equivalent measurement in cm or inches would be much more helpful. They were pretty comfortable for the 15 minutes I wore them in the house and stepping on my concrete porch. Overall I like them but I think they are a bit expensive for what they are and their size chart is completely useless. I like the look and comfort but I’m going to try some other brands. Update: So after returning the Xeros, I ordered some shoes from another brand which were also too small and it was the largest size they made. I really don’t understand why barefoot shoe makers deviate from the standard sizing, especially without giving an actual measurement. Anyways I came back around to these but got a size 14 which fit much better. I’m still leaving the review at 3 stars though. I went with these because I like the look of them despite the low Amazon reviews and some complaints of the strap ripping thru the sole. I only got these for casual everyday wear and not for running or hiking so I hope the strap won’t be an issue. I’ll update if I have any issues. One month update: So I’ve been wearing these for about a month and I’m pretty happy with them. I really like the look and style of these. They remind me of the Onitsuka Tigers ultimate 81 that I wore for years. So far they have been holding up fine and are helping my feet get back to normal. I have been doing toe exercises, wearing toe spacers and wearing these shoes everyday. I can see a little difference in my foot shape but it’s more noticeable when trying on my old pair of regular shoes which no longer fit so I’m glad to be making progress already. Hopefully I’ll see more changes in a few more months. I haven’t had much discomfort from transitioning to these shoes other than a little soreness between the metatarsals (the long bones that run from the base of the toe to the ankle) which is due to the muscles and tendons stretching and being used more. I do believe in these types of shoes and wish they were around when I was a child. I would recommend trying them and if you have young children I would suggest to get them into these types of shoes asap.

Las compramos para mi marido que juega al pádel, y la verdad que aunque dicen que la suela no es muy buen, lleva dos partidos y tiene agarre de suela con el suelo, son cómodas, barefood y respetuosas con el libre movimiento de los pies. Así que buena compra y recomendable 100%

Grundsätzlich sind Xero Schuhe aus gut haltbarem Material und angenehm zu tragen, sowie auch für längere Strecken eine gute Wahl. Diese haben 2 Punkte Abzug erhalten, weil sie sich für längere Strecken nicht eignen. Die Zunge ist separat vom Hauptschuh von unten an diesen angenäht und ein schmales Stück Stoff inklusive der Naht reiben von oben auf dem Spann. Dies fällt bei kurzen Strecken zunächst nicht auf. Beim Fahrrad fahren fällt das allerdings nicht auf, da sind sie gut zu gebrauchen.

Fit well, looks good, size matched.... all I need from a shoe ordered online.

They are too narrow for wide shoe toolbox, and not as barefoot as vivobarefoot, for example Plus they sent me the wrong size - direct return
