Worth the price tag
Supremely comfortable. Worth the fairly steep price. Going to keep wearing these as my fair-weather shoes for as long as they hold up.

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.

A good option for "barefoot" walking.
I usually buy my barefoot type shoes direct from the manufacturer. However this model was presented to me by Amazon at a discount price. I think that the Prio model is one of the best for walking my dogs on "dry" trails.

Comfy but don't last!! Expensive but cheaply made
Don't last! Too bad they are very comfortable . 8 mos after purchase sneakers tearing like a cheap pair of Chinese sketchers...both of them ...see pics!!! Unable to contact customer service from their website. VERY DISAPPOINTED
