Review: Great Initial Impression. Worth a look - I bought these to replace my New Balance minimalist shoes that have been out of production for a while. My first impression is that these shoes are fantastic. They are breathable, lightweight, flexible, and the toe box is wide enough to accommodate my wide feet. I typically wear 2E (extra wide) shoes and boots and these are everso slightly wider than what I'm used to, which is a good thing. The heel section fits like a glove to prevent a sloppy fit and the material/construction is comfortable with or without socks. Make sure to measure your foot and reference the size chart offered, my shoes fit me similar to other shoes/boots of the same size. Two minor drawbacks: 1) Shoe laces are the thick round type that don't always stay tied. 2) Insoles comes out every time I take the shoes off.
Review: Great workout shoe - I used to wear vibrams back in the day but those looked silly and Merrill’s vapor gloves more recently. Just got these prios in black and white, and have worn them for 3 gym sessions. I love them so far. Fit great - I wear 13 in most all my shoes and their 13’s fit great - so true to size. I also have wide feet and these have plenty of room where my Merrill’s felt a bit cramped. The “hurachi-sandal-style” straps really lock in the heal for HIIT training and sled work. They seem well made and I expect them to last. Lastly, what I really love is that these actually look like a sneaker and not a foot glove. I’m really happy I stopped researching and pulled the trigger. desertcart was much cheaper than the Xero website which was a plus.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, but soles wear faster than expected
*by J***H on November 4, 2025*

Favorite shoe so far (just bought another pair), super comfortable, but do think the soles wear too fast. Got maybe 1000-1500 miles before they were blister factories, and their site does state like a 5k mile warranty so felt a little low on lifespan compared to brand marketing Otherwise pretty good, no forced arches or weird drop, almost like going barefoot. Gate is good when walking Fits well, maybe a touch cramped in toes. And pretty decent look for a barefoot shoe
