Xero Shoes Women’s Prio Barefoot Athletic Sneaker

Perfect fit, hold up well, very comfortable. I wear them everyday.

Bought these for my wife because she has balance issues. The shoes seem to help with balance and are really comfortable to wear.

These shoes were exactly what we were looking for. They are well-built and align well with the barefoot living mentality. They are lightweight, comfortable, and true-to-size. We have purchased them twice, and we will buy them again after these ones are worn out!

The prio is an excellent shoe, but my feet are a strange size! They are great looking and comfortable. I need a quarter size, unfortunately. I'm keeping the larger size and wearing thicker socks! They are great for fitness and I'm hoping they help reduce my shin pain. My husband swears by the men's Prio and has 2 pairs! Xero shoes last for years, and are durable even if worn a lot.

My favorite shoes! I have a bunion on one of my feet and always get painful feet with normal sneakers or shoes. I now own two pairs of Xero shoes and will be buying more. The best wide toe box and zero drop shoes. I go on long walks with these and they are my go to for basically anything that doesn’t require me to fully dress up or go out on an evening. Great travel shoes too! Style is perfect in my opinion and very breathable.

Just so everybody knows, around 2018 the company adjusted their sizing. I recommend going a half size down from your usual size. The company says they are now true to size, but I find it is still just a tad large. I am a 7.5 normally but I got a 7 - at first they were snug and it seemed like they would be too small since my toes reached the edge of the shoe. But after walking around the house in them a whole day they fit perfectly. They were comfortable right away. I don't think they need any breaking in after a day of light use. I am used to barefoot shoes and cannot do the floppy beavertail clown shoes look and feel. Been there done that when first starting out. I need to depend on accurate footwork and wanted a barefoot shoe for parkour. I believe this is it. Also just wanted to say how comfortable these are. Plenty of ground feel and wide toe splay for days, but just enough cushion that you can do sports, hike, or walk in them all day on pavement. Update: I've been wearing these for a year and they're still in good shape. My go to shoe.

Maybe I should have ordered another size up, but out of the box these weren't as roomy as I expected them to be. Toe box isn't that spacious (or wearing barefoot shoes for a bit has caused an unusually large toe-spread). I'm a week in, and they've loosened up a bit and are more tolerable / comfortable. The laces are constantly coming undone, and honestly they feel better with super loose laces so I might replace those with something different. Not worth the price, but I'd worn them around too much to return with the try before you buy option.

These shoes are light, airy, and definitely give you the feeling of being barefoot! They wash up beautifully just tossed in a washing machine, even the white pair! They dry in minutes if placed in the sunshine! Just know this: if you are on hot pavement you will know it after a few minutes. It would be great if they could work in some heat protection in the soles. Obviously you will feel the uneven ground, like rocks and pebbles and that might be uncomfortable if your feet aren't used to it. They are really great for travel as your feet can breath and you can wiggle your toes like slippers! If you like going barefoot 'sans' the dirt and germs, then these are for you! I really like them but again a little heat protection would be a real upgrade...
