Broken in a month- warranty doesn’t work if you buy it here
Shoe is incredible. Your foot feels completely different, and it’s changed the way I walk in a good way. I work with specialists due to disability and these shoes have really helped me feel the ground and walk better.Defective pair was replaced and the new ones are great. Be wary that all warranty claims are handled by Amazon if you buy here. Was confusing, but I got the shoe replaced. Was a hassle again because the price changed.

These are great.
Got these becuase I love the barefoot feel and wide toe boxes. They are comfy, light and best of all look great.Be warned if you have never worn barefoot shoes. I start with something a little more cushioned then work your way down to here.

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

Versatile and overall great shoe
The Prio is arguably my favorite shoe I've gotten from Xero, and I'm glad that I spent the extra bit on the suede version. Now I have a shoe for general athletic activities, as well as casual formal events.I have an interesting foot shape in that I not only need a wide toe box , but also have a wide mid foot and tall foot overall. This shoe fit well across the board (was 12.5 before, and got 12.5 for this shoe)It felt almost like a slipper when first trying it out, but taking the insoles out significantly increases the barefoot feel. I like that versatility in how I can use it; for recovery or training.I recommend this shoe for anyone starting out, or several months/years into your foot health journey. Try the black suede version if you attend casual-formal events, but otherwise it seems like all Prio versions have the same fundamental build so any would be a good addition for most activities.

License to wear slippers all day long
Breathable and nice looking. When I first purchased these, I was warned that I would have to work into these shoes. I have had for 3 weeks and I have worn all day everyday except 2 days (due to rain and/or snow). The shade looks nice and I prefer gummy soles whenever possible. I am a school teacher and I am on my feet all day. I don’t intend to use these as my running shoes, but I do walk a mile to school each day and these have not disappointed.Update-After 6 months … I still love them and I have to try another pair. During the summer, I had to do a lot of construction tasks around the house. Tasks that included reflooring our home. Lots of ups and downs — these were just so comfortable I used them all the time. They cleaned up really nice. This suade version did rough up a bit in the process. Now working on the ladder for the past week, up and down, my feet and legs and back still feel great. I AM ORDERING ANOTHER PAIR OF XEROS. Two are better than one.UPDATE.. I have had for almost 3 years now, and they have been everywhere with me. They are now retired as my home slippers. Not because they are shot, just cuz I have bought more Xeros. I am a HUGE fan now,

Definitely run small
This was my first pair of barefoot shoes but I ended up returning them because they were too small. I normally wear a 12.5 or 13 and have a standard amount of room to spare but my toes went all the way to the end on these in size 13. Their size guide is not helpful at all because it just shows a us/uk size chart. Showing the US size and the equivalent measurement in cm or inches would be much more helpful. They were pretty comfortable for the 15 minutes I wore them in the house and stepping on my concrete porch. Overall I like them but I think they are a bit expensive for what they are and their size chart is completely useless. I like the look and comfort but I’m going to try some other brands.Update: So after returning the Xeros, I ordered some shoes from another brand which were also too small and it was the largest size they made. I really don’t understand why barefoot shoe makers deviate from the standard sizing, especially without giving an actual measurement. Anyways I came back around to these but got a size 14 which fit much better. I’m still leaving the review at 3 stars though. I went with these because I like the look of them despite the low Amazon reviews and some complaints of the strap ripping thru the sole. I only got these for casual everyday wear and not for running or hiking so I hope the strap won’t be an issue. I’ll update if I have any issues.One month update: So I’ve been wearing these for about a month and I’m pretty happy with them. I really like the look and style of these. They remind me of the Onitsuka Tigers ultimate 81 that I wore for years. So far they have been holding up fine and are helping my feet get back to normal. I have been doing toe exercises, wearing toe spacers and wearing these shoes everyday. I can see a little difference in my foot shape but it’s more noticeable when trying on my old pair of regular shoes which no longer fit so I’m glad to be making progress already. Hopefully I’ll see more changes in a few more months. I haven’t had much discomfort from transitioning to these shoes other than a little soreness between the metatarsals (the long bones that run from the base of the toe to the ankle) which is due to the muscles and tendons stretching and being used more. I do believe in these types of shoes and wish they were around when I was a child. I would recommend trying them and if you have young children I would suggest to get them into these types of shoes asap.
