Xero Mens Barefoot Prio - Black Shoe

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.

they arrived well before i was told they would, the quality is exelent and every bit as comfortable as I expected them to be. but don't be fooled these are real barefoot shoes with minimum foot support. So if you are looking for the barefoot experience give them a try

First of all, I wear a size 9 in every shoe I’ve tried. However, I had to return the first pair I purchased without any hassle at all because it was creasing around the tops of my toes.After that, I decided to go a half size down to 8.5, and it made a huge difference. These shoes are incredibly comfortable, to the point where I sometimes forget to take them off. In contrast, my normal Merrell hiking shoes (which I also love for hikes) make me eager to take them off and let my feet breathe.I’ve thoroughly tested these shoes, walking from 7 to 12+ miles a day with my dog over varying terrain, and they feel great from the start to the finish of my walks.I plan to purchase a pair for my partner as a birthday gift as soon as the right color and size become available. They look durable, so I hope they last a while, and I’ll definitely renew them when the time comes.

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.

At first I was worried they wouldn’t fit, my previous shoes were 5 1/2 and I ordered the 6 1/2, but they were perfect. They feel not like you’re barefoot, but sort of a middle ground between socks and shoes. You’ll probably have to double knot them because the laces come undone very easily. Funny thing, I’m only 9 ish days in and my feet don’t tickle any more. If your a parent with particularly young kids I also recommend getting them barefoot shoes to encourage proper, natural development.

I've been wearing barefoot shoes now for over 5 years. These have a lovely wide toe box with a lot less of a slope in the toes than some other brands which is perfect for me. The sole is a perfect barefoot sole in my opinion not so thin that your soles hurt after running /jumping i.e. high impact activity outdoors - however still thin and flexible. I've worn them for a few months now and I'm really pleased with the quality , value and durability

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.

Super comfortable, I’ve done nearly every run in them since I bought them. Don’t feel the need to take them off when the run is over
