$89.99

The Xero Shoes Prio is what I describe as the OG barefoot shoe. This shoe is Xero's mainstay and is built for tackling pretty much everything. Decent price, durable, and functional.

COLOR • Black/White
Heel to Toe Drop 0.0mm

Timeless Construction: The huarache-inspired upper gives a nod to some of the oldest, consistent shoes made.

Rubber Outsole: Full rubber outsole has an arrow tread for promoting forward propulsion.

Reinforced Toe Box: The toe box is reinforced which is great for some protection from outdoor and gym elements.

Removable Insole: The insole is removable and internal construction is finished. Ground closeness is your preference.

Breathable Mesh Upper: The mesh throughout the forefoot and midfoot breathes well. Go sockless or don't!

These Size Similar To

The Feelground, Splay, and Tolos. I'd size these the same as you wear in those brands.

How I Suggest Sizing These

I'd go true to size for narrow and medium-width feet. If you have E-width feet, you'll also probably be safe going true to size in these.

However, if you want additional wiggle room for your E-width good, go up a half-size.

For 2E+ width feet, sizing up a half-size can be a safe call if you want to ensure you have a lot of extra toe box room.

To Confirm: Xero Shoes Sizing Guide

I always recommend spot-cleaning barefoot shoes and using a three-pronged approach to do it thoroughly.

  • Step 1: Grab your barefoot shoes, a clean washcloth, a soft soap void of harsh dyes and fragrances, and lukewarm water.
  • Step 2: Get your washcloth wet with lukewarm water and dab less than a dime-sized amount of soap on the damp washcloth.
  • Step 3: Remove your cross-training shoe’s insoles and spot clean areas on the shoes that need a little attention. Do not soak your shoes. Repeat this process of dampening your washcloth and rubbing trouble areas until your shoes look noticeably cleaner. If you have bright colorways, rub softly to avoid ruining your shoe’s colorway.
  • Step 4: Once you’re satisfied with the appearance of your shoes, place them by a vent or dry area in your house and remove their insoles until thoroughly dried.

All returns and exchanges are accepted for unworn, like-new shoes within 30-days.

Features worth knowing

The core construction details that I think are worth knowing before you buy!

1. Grippy Rubber Outsole: Arrow tread pattern is consistent and promotes a solid level of grip when training and wearing these casually.

2. Lightly Reinforced Boot: Like additional boot security? The suede overlay helps to promote better lock down when tackling CrossFit WODs and athletic-style sessions.

3. Reinforced Toe and Wide Toe Box: If you're new to barefoot shoes, the wide toe box and reinforced toe can be great construction features to help you acclimate to this style of shoe while protecting your feet more.

4. Breathable Mesh: Breathability paired with durability. The mesh on this shoe promotes ventilation without compromising durability by being "too light" for tougher gym sessions.
