## Overview

The Xero Shoes Mens Prio Black UK 7.5 blends minimalist design with advanced barefoot technology, featuring a 5.5mm FeelTrue® rubber sole for optimal ground feel and protection, ultra-lightweight construction at 8.7 ounces, and secure reflective Huarache straps.

## Description

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. 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. WHY YOU'LL LOVE THE PRIO: “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.

Review: 本日初めて履いて30分ほど歩いてきました。つま先の締め付けがないほど、幅が広くて気持ちがいいと感じる履き心地でした。履き慣れないうちは、足の裏が痛いと感じることはあると思います。裸足の感覚と考えると一般的な靴を履いていたところからの履き替えであれば普通のことだなと思います。長く履いてみて、どのように歩き方が変わるかが楽しみです。個人的にはリピートしていきたい靴でした。
Review: This time im sure about this one 10/10! 🤩😍 thankU!

- “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.
- 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.
- Vegan* The main fabrics and materials used in our Vegan* range are entirely synthetic and not sourced from animals. However, we can’t currently confirm that all smaller parts (like glues or dyes) meet strict vegan standards. We’re working toward full traceability and believe in being upfront about that.
- Life Changing Comfort Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel. All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and Live Life Feet First!
- This product is true to size – we recommend buying your exact size.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone worn these for a long time without durability issues? I see a lot of reports about the upper becoming unglued/falling apart quick.**
A: I bought two pair. Prio and the 360.  Took a trip to Albuquerque and the first pair (prio) didn’t make it a week before the sole started to come unglued. Xero was surprisingly not helpful with getting the pair replaced. I decided not to buy from them again.

However, the other pair 360 are going strong enough after almost two years as a mostly gym use shoe (lifting, boxing, martial arts, running) that I’m considering another pair. They almost look new and have hundreds of running miles on them.

Still haven’t decided but we will see.

**Q: How do these feel for people with plantars?**
A: If you're referring to plantar fasciitis, we don't claim to improve any particular condition. Although, many of our customers have reported reduced symptoms from incorporating more natural movement (using natural movement footwear, aka Xero Shoes) into their daily routines. Our shoes and sandals are designed to allow the feet to move naturally. Many have said the body has a tremendous capacity to heal itself when it's allowed to function naturally, but there are many causes for plantar fasciitis and no magic formula works for every person. The best thing would be to consult your primary healthcare provider.

**Q: How is the grip on indoor courts? (For sports like basketball & volleyball)**
A: Really good actually. It gets slippery when wet.

**Q: Do the prio & the 360 fit the same???**
A: Yes, they both fit true to size.
