Le scarpe sono perfette sia per la taglia che per l’estetica! Le ho regalate a mio marito come primo paio per approccio al barefoot e già le adora!

These are my first pair of barefoot casual sneakers that actually look like the trends out there and I’m super happy with my purchase.

Just a warning for big BF ext Hudis’s ya, these aren’t nearly as flexible as my other BF shoes, but I knew that going in. Even so, they are comfy & fit well. I followed the sizing suggestions to measure my foot vs. just ordering my normal size & I’m glad I did.

Shipping was quick & easy, even coming from overseas! I highly recommend if you want a trendy sneaker that is comfy & fun!

Great quality shoes with good toe flex and space for the toes.

With feet of 248mm with socks on I wear size 40.

The border around the ankle may be a little stiff at first but it softens after some wear.

I liked them so much I ordered them in black leather and in the black/white vegan version too!

100% recommend.

These are the only “cool” looking barefoot shoes that my bunion-foot self has ever come across. I was worried they’d make my feet look like duck feet, but they’re super sleek and cute. Comfort wise they offer my wide feet/bunions lots of room and don’t squeeze anywhere. I’ll be buying another pair soon :-) Only con is shipping to Canada costs an arm and a leg.

Super bequeme Sneakers! Sehen auch echt toll aus. Zehen haben genügend Platz und trotzdem sehen sie nicht extrem breit aus vorne. Sohle sehr weich. Den Boden spürt man nicht so wie z.B. bei den Wildlingen, da das Material dicker, ansonsten geniesst man aber alle Barfussschuh-Vorteile! Beim ersten Mal tragen hatte ich eine Blase am Fersen, nach ein paar Mal einlaufen ist das Material nun aber angenehm weich. Ersetzten meine Nike Schuhe und werden nicht die letzten sein die ich bestellt habe!

I've worn them for about a month and they are SO comfy!! The insoles they come with provide a bit of cushioning, just the right amount to still feel the ground when you walk. I have wide feet and I loved the extra roomy-ness, they are super comfy and they look super cool too!! As soon as I saw the design I fell in love with these shoes, and as soon as I put them on I knew they were right for me. I am very prone to getting very painful blisters on my toes and my heel with almost any shoe I wear, but I have walked with these for more than an hour and... zero blisters!!! I am so so happy, I hope they never break lol, I'll definitely buy another pair soon :D

These are SO cute, SO comfy and so easy to clean. I got my true to size 38 and I have plenty of room even to wear my correct toes with them. They were a bit stiff in the heel and sides at first but broke in quickly. So happy I finally purchased these and will be buying another color.

I love these shoes. When I first got them, I thought that they were too big, but I wasn't prepared for the roominess. After I tightened up the laces, they felt great on my feet. I'm still adapting to using them but they're my favorite shoes right now. I alternate them with the barebarics Zoom.

The shoes in very comfortable and I love them. But after 2 months of wearing them I have to wash them and they completely destroyed with unevenly coloring in different shades of blue in different places. They really look bad now, looks like I have to throw them away

Świetne buty do rozpoczęcia przygody z barefoot. Wyglądają bardzo dobrze i są porzadnie wykonane. Są jednak dla mnie trochę zbyt twarde wokół kostki, ale liczę na to, że z czasem się wyrobią. Na ten moment żałuję, że wzięłam rozmiar zgodnie z instrukcją, tj. dodałam do długości dłuższej stopy 0.5cm. Mam dość asymetryczne stopy i w tym układzie lewy but jest zdecydowanie za duży i przesuwa się podczas ruchu. Żałuję, że od razu nie odesłałam i nie zamówiłam swojego standardowego rozmiaru.

Ich hatte immer Probleme mit herkömmlichen Schuhen, aufgrund meiner Fußweite, aber das hat sich endlich geändert. Seitdem ich Barefoot Sneakers trage, haben meine Füße viel mehr Platz und ich habe keine Schmerzen oder Blasen mehr. Und sie sehen dabei auch noch gut aus.

Ich trage die Zing jetzt schon seit ca. 2 Monaten regelmäßig.

Zuerst einmal: Die Schuhe sehen wirklich sehr gut aus. Optisch habe ich mich direkt in sie verliebt. Leider sind sie allerdings doch recht steif und fest. Am Anfang ganz besonders, sodass ich erst Bedenken hatte, ob ich sie behalten soll. Im Laufe der Zeit sind sie auf jeden Fall weicher geworden, trotzdem finde ich, hat man jetzt nicht das "klassische" Barfußschuhgefühl. So oder so, ich würde auf jeden Fall die Einlegesohlen rausnehmen. Dann hat man schon mehr Gefühl und Flexibilität als in "normalen" Schuhen, trotzdem jedoch einen Punkt Abzug, weil sie auf der Skala noch eher Richtung Normalschuh tendieren.

Product Description

“My go-to shoes for just about everything.” – Andy P.

The Prio is the most comfortable shoe for everything you do.

Whether you’re out on a run, trying out a new trail, hitting the gym, or toeing a slackline, you’ll love the Prio’s combination of freedom and protection.

“Just-Right” Protection:

The Prio uses the same 5.5mm FeelTrue® rubber as our Z-Trek sandal, so you get great protection while still getting the ground feedback that your feet love. The optional 3mm insole lets you have more or less of a “barefoot feel” depending on your mood.

Lightweight:

A men’s 9 is only 8.7 ounces each – you’ll barely notice you have them on.

Secure-feeling:

Our Huarache sandal-inspired reflective heel and instep straps hold your foot securely – with or without socks – while keeping your toes free to move.

Plus, the Prio is made from 100% vegan-friendly materials.

Imagine you’ve just come home after a long day at work or on the trail. If you can’t wait to take your shoes off the moment you walk in the front door, you’ve been wearing the wrong shoes.

Life-Changing comfort and superior performance come from using your feet naturally.

That’s what Xero Shoes let you do.

Natural Fit. Natural Motion. Natural Feel.

Plus Xero Shoes are backed with a 5,000-mile sole warranty.
