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.

Best barefoot shoes I’ve tried so far
Easily the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I have several pairs of ‘barefoot’ shoes and these are really good. Fully flexible sole, not too thick and no unwanted ‘toe-spring’. Insole removes easily. I’ve got them dirty and washed them in the washing machine several times, with no issues. They clean up as-new. I’m writing this about a year after buying them.

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.

Takes a little time to get used to but I like them
Please please ease your way into these. If you have never used zero drop bare foot shoes that is. These would be 5 stars but after a few medium length walks, the very thin sole of the shoe would slide up and past my heal.... so I took it out. But they didn't work as designed so 1 star gone. As for the rest of the shoe... I love them. Its crazy how your body adapts to the shoe. Your gate gets smaller to avoid heal striking and your cadence gets faster. I have never had such a secure feeling shoe. Once them laces are tied the shoe becomes one with your foot. The toe box for me is perfect and after a while of periodically wearing them, I do feel a tightness on some shoes where my feet have spread a little :) Another bad things but it's minor is the laces have worn some what. All in all a great shoe, I wish the plan white ones where out when I bought these but hey that's life. Would love a golf shoe of these, might try one of the more off road types they have.

Perfect gym shoes 👍🏻
A much better shoe for the gym, wide toe box - no toe pain at all 😃 Tainers just don’t have the flexibility needed.

Amazing shoes
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.

Lasted 3 months
I've been wearing barefoot shoes for nearly ten years and love trying different brands. The best are Vivo and I don't mind a pair of Merrel to save a bit of money. I'd heard of Xero but we're always very expensive in the UK but saw these for £90 and thought I'd give them a try. I didn't like the look of them as soon as they arrived. They look like bad looking school shoes and felt a bit tight. However, I've worn them a lot over the last 3 months until I noticed the sole coming away on both shoes. Amazon agreed to refund and return without any issue but I'll never buy Xero again.

Comftorable shoe but extremly poor quality
I bought these 5 months ago and I haven't worn them that much due to cold weather. Yet they started falling apart. The sole is ungluing itself from the shoe in various places. Update: after reaching out to customer support they kindly honoured the warranty and sent me a replacement pair, which will hopefully not have the same manufacturing defects.

Durável, bem construído, qualidade e conforto.
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.

Very comfortable for 1st minimalist shoe
As mentioned, this is my first minimalist shoe and the reviews are accurate. I’ve worn these for a couple weeks now and I’m very happy with the room for my toes, the level heel, and right amount of protection for my feet. I ordered a half size down from my normal size (13) and the 12.5 is a perfect fit. It’s also nice that it’s a little wide because I have wide feet. They are stylish and go with anything I’m wearing. The only downside I’d point out is that they don’t ventilate as well as I would’ve thought given the mesh exterior. It seems to trap heat and moisture more so than other mesh sneakers I’ve owned. Otherwise, it’s a nearly perfect shoe. Let’s see how long they hold up after a few months of wearing them around.

This is an excellent shoe: flexible yet sturdy
This is an excellent shoe: flexible yet sturdy. It is a minimalist shoe so don't expect to get a lot of arch support. However, if balance is important to you, these are the right shoes! There is very little give from the sole so you can really use your foot muscles to provide balance, flexibility, and grip. Highly recommend these shoes!
