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.

Shoe has generally good make, but toebox smaller than I hoped
Design looks good and sturdy, with a fairly sized toebox. Do not that it doesn't allow full toe spread, if you're looking into the barefoot shoes option. Nice bonus though that the silver strips in this model are reflectorized - useful for certain outdoor conditions

One year in and still going.
I've had these shoes for nearly 1 year now. I wear them nearly every day. Apart from the laces being replaced, these have held up very well. I was a little concerned when I first got them because they were very light and did not seem like they might be durable. But I've had them for 11 months now, and they are still in great shape. I am not needing new shoes right now, but I will buy these again when they eventually need replacement.

Removing the insole made it a 5 star product!
When I first got this, I ordered the speed force at the same time and kept this one because it looked better and felt firmer I was skeptical about how good it might be at first because the heel padding was substantial and the sole didn’t feel as close to the ground as my vivo primus lite did But then today I removed the insole and BAM! Felt like a totally new shoe. My toes could curl better, I had better ground feel, it was just amazing. So for - the price (save $50 vs vivo primus lite) - the durability (way better durability than vivo) - the look and feel (sleek, neutral) If this doesn’t break down on me I think I’ve found my new favorite everyday shoe

Not good for wide feet.
My feet are built like upside down triangles, so I had to buy the shoes two sizes bigger, and even then it's too small.

Great shoe decent price
Ended up fitting perfect. I mostly do long walks on concrete sidewalks, and the shoes perform with great comfort.

Never loved shoes this much before!
These shoes are just perfect for me. They’re so comfy I can leave them on all day and not even think about it. My feet feel great and free. These are quite different, especially as everyone are wearing like 1+ inch of foam in Hokas, etc. The soles on the Xero are a few mm thick, flat and have basically no structure. You literally feel the ground including all it’s imperfections. The only downside is they can be a little slippery on some surfaces when wet, more so than other shoes.

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.
