Women’s Prio Lightweight Barefoot Running Shoe

My wife loved these for the gym. But, they soon became her hiking shoes as they help with balance and foot strength the more you wear them. She has so many shoes and several pair of gym shoes. Enough protection on rocks, and dry fairly quick after crossing creeks, etc. The zero-drop shoe craze slowed down, from what I’ve seen, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re great for strengthening your feet, which in turn strengthens everything else above, helps with arches, and can also help turn your wimpy feet into what God intended. They help with posture as well, which can help alleviate many posture-based back and hip pains. Great company and I don’t think you can go wrong with the brand. True to size. Look great. Built excellent.

I have had Xeros for years, but finally my wife decided to get these as her first pair. I was a bit anxious about size, but tried to use the suggested length to approximate which size we should get. I was amazed when we opened the box. It looked tiny compared to her brooks and another shoes. I didn’t think there was a chance they would fit. I WAS SURPRISED that they fit perfectly. Even without arch support, her comment after the first week was how much she felt her back was more aligned and legs felt great. She is an elementary music teacher and always on her feet … and she love them. She wore 9 in brooks, and loves 8 in Xeros.

Ok, they're truly a zero drop, flat shoe. You'll feel all the rocks. I'm good with the fit, they're a tiny bit long. Plenty of toe room. Very lightweight, and they look pretty classic sneaker. I'm going to look at a better insole and probably be happy with them, especially since I got them at almost half price

My shoe size is 8, which is also what Amazon suggested for this purchase. But I could see that these shoes were shorter than my other shoes when I took them out of their box, and my toes touch the tip of them. I will return these and try 8.5 instead.

I am absolutely in love with the womens' Prio sneakers. They have protection on the sides and front toes, like regular shoes, so they can last and be roughed up a bit. There's mesh around also, for breathability. The souls have a lot of traction, and durability for being so thin, so they've lasted over a year so far. I would consider these even slip resistant for the most part. The laces are adjustable to shape to your feet. They have awesome light reflection straps in the back and on the sides. They are absolutely flat, with Xero drop, giving you better posture. Without my orthodontics, they work better for improving bunion pain. Oddly the orthotics must give too much lift. But...they should have a wider toe box for wide feet. If you're in between sizes, I'd suggest sizing up. And they don't offer them in a mens' 5.5 or 6, to order for a slightly larger toe box. Bunion people may not be satisfied with the width. They are super light and flexible and give you a free feeling. You can feel the ground and some rocks, but not too much. I believe the souls are perfect for a sturdy yet light, barefoot shoe. If anyone knows of a comparable brand that are wider, please let me know. Or different line of Prio. Thank You!

I have a lot of pain issues including a deteriorating back. These are the only shoes I wear for walking distances or working out in. Plus they help my balance better and I fin’t twist my ankles like I did with the higher padded shoes. My personal trainer also wears them. It takes a little getting used to walking in them but well worth it.

These shoes are very comfortable and have lots of room in the toe box, I run in them, hike in them, and even bike in them. They have held up great for all of it so far.

I like the idea of Xero shoes. When I put them on, they felt kind of boxy. I like the extra room in the toe area, but they felt like a box around the sides of my feet. I had to adjust the shoestrings differently than on other shoes, but that helped make them more comfortable. I walked all day on a parking lot, and my feet felt good. They felt supported and free. The shoes are light weight material. The traction is very good with no slipping on any surface. The only reason they are 4 stars from me is due to the boxy look around the arches and heel.

She delivers what it says, wide toe box and comfortable

Love, love, love these trainers. I initially purchased a pair for gym use but they were so comfortable and durable I got a second pair for hiking. For 'barefoot' shoes they are great quality for the price and surprisingly tough. I've worn them on different terrains (rocks, paved roads, gravel, sand) and they haven't failed me yet (I checked for splits and cracks after a 20km hike but there were none). I have tried several other brands of barefoot shoes but these are by far the best for price, comfort and endurance. These particular ones are not waterproof and won't be suitable for use in the winter. I'll definitely be purchasing more from Xero.

Solo los he utilizado un par de veces para entrenar en el gimnasio y la bicicleta y me gustan mucho. Sobre todo sin la suela extra, me encanta que puedo sentir claramente la pisada como si estuviera descalza. No es mi modelo favorito de xero shoes pero es muy cómodo

First pair of xero shoes I've bought and they are falling apart after 8 weeks.

È stato il primo tentativo con le barefoot, ma le ho restituite. La scarpa in sé è comoda ma calza piccola serve ordinare un numero più grande. Ho deciso di restituirle piuttosto che ordinare il numero giusto per 2 motivi : 1- la punta non è poi così ampia come mi aspettavo, anche se, ovviamente, è più ampia di una scarpa ordinaria. 2- troppa stoffa sul dorso del piede! Il materiale è si molto flessibile ma spesso, per questo motivo il piede risulta un po' "pagnotta ". Sulla comodità alzo le mani.
