Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Men's Prio Cross Training Shoe by Xero Shoes - Lightweight Zero Drop, Barefoot Performance by Tony Jockheck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than Merrells and Vivobarefoot!

My wife and I started wearing minimalist sneakers 9 years ago after reading the book Born to Run. Then we started with Feiyue Kung Fu shoes. Our feet felt so strong that we decided to buy the Xeroshoes 6mm running sandals - back then, Xeroshoes was called "The Invisible Shoes". We liked these sandals so much we wore them everywhere for the next 4 years, and their thinner (3mm) sandals. Then, when the Merrell Vapor Glove came out, we gave it a try and fell in love all over again with the idea of wearing shoes instead of sandals. So we wore them for the next 2 years. the fact that the Vapor Glove was ultra thin (3mm) and still a very attractive running shoe! I've been wearing Vivobarefoot Stealth running shoes for a number of years, although they are very expensive ($150). We recently saw some very positive reviews for the Xeroshoes Prio running shoes. So we decided to try them out. We put them on and immediately fell in love all over again with the company that sold us their running sandals in 2012. Their Xeroshoes Prio is even better than the Merrell Vapor Glove or the Vivobarefoot Stealth. The upper is firmer and the outsole is better stitched to the upper. The outsole is more durable, including a 5000 mile guarantee! And the special lacing technique makes them super, so they can be easily adjusted to both wide and narrow feet! My wife and I fell in love all over again with the company we started in 2012 (Xeroshoes) when it was called Invisible Shoes. Many thanks to Xeroshoes for developing the perfect minimalist sneaker!
