PRIO: MULTI-PURPOSE ATHLETIC SHOE (MEN)

These are the best all round minimalist shoes I’ve worn and run in. Super versatile, comfortable and a joy to wear. Highly recommend ?

A Fantastic shoe. Definately worth the money. Was my first bearfoot style of shoe and was very happy with the performance and I am hooked on the feel. I mainly used them for Training in the gym and a bit of running and they've held up well.

As a teacher and runner, I’m on my feet all day. These shoes are ridiculously comfortable. Let me give you an example. Recently I was asked to referee basketball games all day. Throughout all of the hours I was on my feet, the Prio did not let me down. My feet were well supported and it was like I didn’t referee at all. The rubber sole is highly durable. After 2 years of daily wear, you can barely see any impact on the sole. However, there is a minor point I would like to mention. The upper needed a better glue to remain attached to the soul for a longer period of time. That said, I have just bought my next pair of Xero shoes. I simply love having them on my feet more than any other shoe.

Really not happy with these shoes. The build quality is ultra poor for the price you pay for them. The outer at the toe bend (if that makes sense) has broken down and the soles have come away from the upper at the heels of both shoes and also at the ball of the feet. I only wear these as a casual shoe so it's not like they've had a hard life. Would be one star but they are actually a comfortable shoe, just poorly made

Had an old wide-toe box zero drop shoe that has served me well at the gym for years, but was time to get something new. The brand I have always been loyal to messed with their latest versions so I went looking for a new one to try and kept coming across Xero being high up in recommendation lists. Pulled the trigger and am happy I did. These are very comfortably, feel more durable than my old ones, and fit was perfect for having ordered online. Experience on the website was great and shipping was fast within Australia. No complaints. Activities: weight lifting (like the zero drop and wide toe box for squats) and cardio like bike and jump rope. Have not used for running.

Am using this shoe for martial arts and it is quite good in terms of comfort and grip. There was a concern regarding sizing when received but I was able to take it to the Rosebery where the helpful store owner check the fit and exchanged for a more appropriate one.

I bought these a couple months ago now and these are my first "barefoot" style shoe. I wear these shoes to work (I'm a PT). I love the wide toebox, it gives my toes a lot of freedom and feels great to walk around in. Construction so far seems solid and good, no signs of stitching coming loose or fraying. I like the design of the white ones, they have an 80's/90's retro kind of look. Only 2 negatives; 1, pretty uncomfortable to do standing calf raise exercise, but that is subjective. They are fine for other exercises. 2. The removable inner sole is rubbish. I wore the shoes with them in for the first few weeks to get used to the shoe but I had to remove them. No matter what, they kept sliding back up the heel which I had to fix every few minutes, as it was extremely uncomfortable. Overall I'm very happy with the shoe, I like the design, good construction, quite comfortable, good toe spacing, just wear them without the removable inner sole.

Having read about this kind of approach to footwear years ago, I have been slow to act. It wasn’t until I removed my shoes at the gym one morning that I noticed such a difference in stability and contact feel. I’ve been wearing these shoes non stop for a few days. My feet feel a little sore from adjusting to the lack of cushioning but the experience of being able to feel all the joints in my feet react to walking is amazing. I highly recommend that you give them a try.

The Prio meet all the requirements I need and want in a shoe. Stylish, quality make, flexible, wide toe box, breathable, zero drop, ground feel, stylish, versatile and suitable for all genders and ages. I have super wide feet and they surprisingly have gotten even more wider since I've switched to barefoot shoes (used to be women's size 9 now women's 10). Xero says their men's shoes are wider so I got a men's 8.5 and it's fitted perfectly. I got my husband size 11 and he says they're definitely true to size. I will be getting all my kids these shoes.
