Review on Xero Shoes Men's Prio Cross Training Shoe: Lightweight, Zero Drop, Barefoot Performance by Richard Nonya

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. felt so strong that they decided to buy Xeroshoes 6mm running sandals - at that time Xeroshoes was called "Invisible Shoes". We liked these sandals so much that we wore them every year for the next 4 years and eventually switched to thinner (3mm) sandals. Then, when the Merrell Vapor Glove came out, we tried it on 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. We liked that the Vapor Glove was ultra-thin (3mm) and yet a very attractive running shoe! Then, when the Vivobarefoot Stealth came out, we fell in love with it because of its thinness (3mm) and larger toe box. Vivobarefoot Stealth has been offering running shoes for the last few 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!
