Amazing Quality at a Great Price
Amazing! I started my barefoot shoes journey a month ago with WHITIN brand here on Amazon, but I decided to upgrade to something with better quality and reputation seeing as I'm loving them. Vivo's seemed too pricey for the quality, so I found Xero, and I'm so glad I did! These shoes feel absolutely amazing compared to my other ones.The look is stylish, the feeling is so comfy and grounded, and the sizing is perfect. I normally wear size 12 shoes (brannock 12) and these 12s are perfect fits that allow a bit of toe room for splay. I have relatively normal feet width edging towards wide, and these have plenty of room for me. The quality seems great overall, but only time will tell how they hold up.Overall, I'm very happy with these, and will write back over time seeing how they hold up and fare across time. Very good option if you're looking for an upgrade or for a good-wyalott starting point.

Excellent construction.
Awesome barefoot shoe , they look great , theyre reflective , they fit great ( nice wide toe-box ) , very solid construction. Manage to be as protective as possible without violating the no-support , flexible , barefoot feel.I've had a few brands of barefoot shoes but these are by far the best. Worth every penny.

Great non-frills shoes
My feet have a strange shape - shorter and wider. With the conventional shoes, I have to go one size up to get the width fit and this leaves a larger space in front of my tubes.This pair from Xero solved the problem. The shape is almost like custom for my feet. I don’t wear shoes inside my house and this pair extends that habit into outdoor.Some notes for people who are considering these (and maybe all other barefoot shoes):Since the sole is so thin, I can basically feel every imperfection on the ground/ surface on which I am standing.I can even feel the temperature of the ground/ surface - hot and most likely cold.The insole has a bunch of ventilation holes on it (see the photo). Those holes are pretty large and I can feel them. I can wear teh shoes without the insoles (the shoes are fully finished nicely) but I want to keep the insoles in.I had to change the way I walk and run. No heel strikes.When I walk on hard surfaces, these shoes make some tapping noise.During the first week, my calves and feet got tired because, I guess, I was using my feet and calves more, which is a good thing about these shoes.Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE these shoes. My toes are spread wider now and my feet feel stronger. I will never go back to the conventional “Wide shoes”, “Heel to Toe =xxx mm”, “Rocker sole” shoes.I own two pairs of these shoes.

Good quality for zero rise, but lacks comfort
Sizing is true. Love the zero rise and much more comfortable on my joints. There is no padding, though, so if you’re looking for zero rise and comfort, this is not the shoe you will feel every crack in the ground and every pebble off trail. I’ve used for four months now and no quality issues.

Xero Prio Nio
Xero Prio Neo is more comfortable to wear than Neo because it's more flexible. No break in required. (I have a pair of Neos and it felt great until my feet got wider) Wore right out of the box for 4-5 miles and it felt great. Neo is much sturdier but more rigid due to it's stitching. Laces are more heavy duty on the Neo. Prio Neo is a GREAT shoe except for it's flimsy laces. I would recommend it.

Slippers for the gym but better
First try on a barefoot style shoe. I like them. Can’t see the high cost of some shoes out there. Not much to them. They are light and flexible and have an insole that can be removed if desired. I left them in. Slippers for the gym? Great for use at the gym for weight training, calisthenics and the like. I would not use them personally for jogging or hiking. I measured my foot and checked the size guide. I find they are true to size and are the same size recommend as my set if Nike 860s.
