Xero ShoesWomen’s Barefoot Shoes | Prio Original Barefoot Cross Trainer | Lightweight, Zero Drop Sole, Minimalist | Running Shoes for Women

Love these shoes. Knee pain went away ever since I started using them. The are also stylish.

Will buy again

I had to return due to the sizing. I ordered my usual size, but they were too short. I recommend ordering 1/2 size up. Other than that, it looked like a nice shoe. But I can't comment on much else since I couldn't wear it.

I'll try to make this short and simple for my review.I ordered 3 different pairs of "barefoot" style shoes as I was looking to have something for weightlifting so I could feel more ground as I still need somewhat of support due to plantar fascitis.Xero Prio - feels sorta bulky (little heavier), fits true to size and has lots of wiggle room for toes. I think this one would definitely be a good running shoe or if you want more weight on your feet.Xero HFS - feels very lightweight, fits true to size but as the manufacturer website states to go up half a size is totally a personally preference. I had plenty of wiggle room left in the toe box and felt much more secure in this shoes when doing lunges, deadlifts, etc. I would recommend this one hands down but your width of foot might depend if you want to go up half a size or not. I just feel overall the flexibility and movement was hands down better in this one. I did order 2 of these...both regular size and half size up and I felt that the regular size that I normally wear worked better for me.Vivobarefoot - everyone rants and raves about this brand but honestly it was just OK.. I mean the gripping power of the underneath of the shoe was spot on for weightlifting, wiggle room is more than necessary,etc. I did not like the front area of the shoe at all when doing lunges or calf raises...the plasticy/vinyl part of the shoe near the boxes ended up hurting my feet because of how it scrunched. It was not really a "natural" movement. I just felt for the amount of money spent, the quality could be better. I could see that the material can easily come undone overtime from constantly "scrunching" when walking, lunging, etc... For $160...NOT worth it. They do run true to size but for the amount of money I feel it's a waste of money.Again, just an honest review and my opinion. Good luck!

The fit is excellent. 7.5 was true to size for me. I wore them at least 3 days while at a conference and I walked miles exploring the area. No pain in my feet. I like the reflective strap design. I would suggest wearing a sock that comes up higher than the shoe at the back of the ankle as it did rub bare skin and I could see that a blister could form in that spot. Even though the laces are kinda round, they stayed in my dbl knot and didn’t come undone while walking. Hope these last awhile as I'm pretty hard on my shoes.

I usually wear a 7 Wide sneaker or a 7.5 Wide sneaker. I ordered the Prio in a 7. I do have bunions and they do not rub against the rubberish material at the toes or inner sides, however after wearing them a week or two, my pinky toes have become squashed and red. They should be wider for people like me who take Wide. The length of the shoe is fine. The laces are great for adjusting width and comfort. These also have reflective stripes, and look cool for fashion. I will be wearing them with my orthodics on top of their insert (soles). Important to note they already have a small crack on the sole. But they did improve my posture while walking, on literally the first day, and my core muscles actually relaxed (stomache area) followed by my shoulders dropping down, instead of being tensed up. I also put thin Orthodics from my Dr, right over the foot bed, and they fit fine.If you have wide feet these are not for you, but probably excellent for normal width feet.

I'd been suffering from a torn tendon for about a year - going to a podiatrist and in physical therapy, trying every "supportive" shoe in the market, inserting arch supports in them all, and listening to my podiatrist when she said I should never walk barefoot again. By luck and chance, I decided to start working with a well-educated trigger point therapist and the first thing he said was "why are you wearing arch supports when you already have high arches??". Good question. If my arches are already high, then supporting them means causing them to arch even more, pulling on the tendons around my foot. As he said, humans were born without shoes so we should be walking around as if we don't have them on. But we as civilized humans want to protect our feet from the elements, nature and man-made.He recommended I try barefoot shoes and after ordering a few different types and trying them all on, walking around my house for a few hours each, I settled on these because of the snug feel around my narrow foot and heel and because even going without socks while wearing them, the inner sole of the shoe didn't rub wrong in any places (not on top, not on the bottom). And the type of laces used by the company stays laced when walking.All the shoes I'd been wearing over the past year made my feet ache after a few hours in them and I simply wasn't healing as fast as I wanted to. After wearing these barefoot-type shoes for about a month, allowing my feet and arches to spread out, I'm starting to even run a few days a week! Now, I wouldn't recommend anyone not take the advice of their doctor, but I would recommend thinking logically about the advice being given and consider alternatives. These shoes are one of the best decisions I've made for my health in years!

Do not wear these on wet floors. They do not have the right traction to keep you from slipping and falling. I would not buy these for this reason.

I am definitely surprised at how much I like these shoes. Believe me, I was very hesitate to even try them. I started with wearing them 1/2 hour at a time, gradually increasing the amount of time, as suggested. I have had no issues, no pain wearing them, and they are very comfortable. I've been wearing them with toe socks too, and it all feels very natural. So much better for my feet!

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

As advised by other reviews, I went up half a size when ordering these and they fit perfectly! Loads of room for toes to wiggle and extra reinforced area for that upper part that always gets a hole in it when your big toe pokes into it. Comfortable to walk in and comes with an optional removable insole so you can decide how 'barefoot' you want to go depending on the surface you are walking on. Look good and like the photos, quick delivery, good instructions and packaging. Haven't run in them yet as I read you need to get your feet used to them walking first, but my feet and knees feel good wearing them and I have high hopes when I do start running in them as I have always had fallen arches and knee pain, even with trainers with arch support. Would definitely recommend!

Really comfy, does what it says on the tin. But has to order a size up, and they still seem a little on the edge of being small.

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.
