## Description

Imagine you’ve just come home after a long day at work or on the trail. If you can’t wait to take your shoes off the moment you walk in the front door, you’ve been wearing the wrong shoes. Life-Changing comfort and superior performance come from using your feet naturally. That’s what Xero Shoes let you do. Whether you’re out on a run, trying out a new trail, hitting the gym, or toeing a slackline, you’ll love the Prio’s combination of freedom and protection. WHY YOU'LL LOVE THE PRIO: “Just-Right” Protection: The Prio uses the same 5.5mm FeelTrue® rubber as our Z-Trek sandal, so you get great protection while still getting the ground feedback that your feet love. The optional 3mm insole lets you have more or less of a “barefoot feel” depending on your mood. Lightweight: A men’s 9 is only 8.7 ounces each – you’ll barely notice you have them on. Secure-feeling: Our Huarache sandal-inspired reflective heel and instep straps hold your foot securely – with or without socks – while keeping your toes free to move. Plus, the Prio is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

Review: Fantastic for running. - I bought a pair of size 12 Xero Men's Prio Cross Training shoes, as I have been having issues with running. I have always had issues with my feet, as I'm a size 11.5 wide shoe, and find it difficult to buy shoes off the shelf. I was going to buy a pair of 2E width proper running shoes, but subsequently discovered barefoot / minimalist training shoes just in time. I had started running bare foot on my home treadmill, and had learnt how to land on the ball of my feet, rather than the heel. I then decided to buy a pair of the Xero Prio shoes, taking a size 12, being a half size larger, for feet swelling during running. The shoes are flexible, very lightweight, and with the inner 3mm insole removed, I get a little extra room in the wide toebox. It's almost impossible to revert back to heel running when you learn how to run in these shoes. You can also increase or decrease the tension with the laces, that also wrap around the shoe, held in place with fabric bands, on the side of the shoe. These shoes are very comfortable, have room at the toe for wide feet, easily flexible and breathable, and make running seem almost effortless compared to my old running style on the heel. Seems like Xero has got the balance and shoe technology just right. If you want an almost barefoot running experience, with protection to your feet, I would advise anyone to consider these shoes. Once you get used to the new running pattern on the ball of the foot, as opposed to the heel, the whole barefoot thing makes perfect sense. Seems like I've previously bought the wrong type of shoes all my life, up until buying these. Very happy indeed, and would certainly buy these shoes again. Excellent choice, and also a reasonable price. If you do a lot of running or training, foot health is vital and Xero seem to have made these shoes to promote just that.
Review: My favourite shoe - I absolutely love these as my day to day shoe. I had the women's versions but found them too narrow for my feet. Old faithful Vs brand new arrivals. My previous pair survived 2 Glastonbury festivals as my only footwear used (hence it's rough appearance!) Vs my nice new pair that arrived yesterday. I've had my previous pair for 2 nearly 3 years and the insole has worn away and so has some of the sole. But given this is my 90% of the time shoe and the huge number of steps put on them through glasto I've been thoroughly impressed with the durability of them. That why I bought a second pair. I have a different model of the Xero that I use for OCR and the gym and really like them too. They are a quality brand of barefoot shoe that looks decent and less clown or beach shoe like others can. The only criticism I have is sizing, I've never experienced different men and women's sizes until barefoot shoes, surely it would make more sense to just call them narrow or wide because I have to purchase the mens version which I have no issues with (I like mens shorts and trousers because, you know, pockets!!) but some people may be put off or not want to buy shoes labelled for the opposite sex.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone worn these for a long time without durability issues? I see a lot of reports about the upper becoming unglued/falling apart quick.**
A: I bought two pair. Prio and the 360.  Took a trip to Albuquerque and the first pair (prio) didn’t make it a week before the sole started to come unglued. Xero was surprisingly not helpful with getting the pair replaced. I decided not to buy from them again.

However, the other pair 360 are going strong enough after almost two years as a mostly gym use shoe (lifting, boxing, martial arts, running) that I’m considering another pair. They almost look new and have hundreds of running miles on them.

Still haven’t decided but we will see.

**Q: How do these feel for people with plantars?**
A: If you're referring to plantar fasciitis, we don't claim to improve any particular condition. Although, many of our customers have reported reduced symptoms from incorporating more natural movement (using natural movement footwear, aka Xero Shoes) into their daily routines. Our shoes and sandals are designed to allow the feet to move naturally. Many have said the body has a tremendous capacity to heal itself when it's allowed to function naturally, but there are many causes for plantar fasciitis and no magic formula works for every person. The best thing would be to consult your primary healthcare provider.

**Q: How is the grip on indoor courts? (For sports like basketball & volleyball)**
A: Really good actually. It gets slippery when wet.

**Q: Do the prio & the 360 fit the same???**
A: Yes, they both fit true to size.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing shoes
*by M***A on 15 November 2025*

I’m really happy with these barefoot shoes. They are very light, flexible, and my husband says they feel almost like walking without shoes. The material is good quality, the fit is true to size, and they are comfortable even after a full day of wearing them. He loves the natural feel and better balance they give him. Definitely worth it.
