Review on Xero Shoes Prio Minimalist Barefoot Men's Shoes by Joe Roberts

I currently own a pair of Z-Trek, Hana and Prio. These shoes have allowed me to throw away pretty much everything I have from the remaining pairs of shoes, except for the Merrell gloves, which I only use for running. The Xero shoes meet all my other shoe/sandal needs, but I can certainly walk in them. Having fully adjusted to barefoot life, I really hate wearing a 'regular' shoe with a pointed toe, foam, heel lift and to bear stiffness. above. My posture, balance, core strength and running technique have all improved a lot. I no longer suffer from hip, knee or calf pain. I love that they're making Han A and Prio in all black now and that's what finally made me buy a Prio. The patented outsole design is simple and great. The rubber hugs the foot a bit and proved to be quite durable. However, it is not an anti-slip coating. The only uncomfortable shoes I still have to wear regularly are my work shoes with slip-on soles. The toe front of the whole shoe and overall design is very nice and the strap system allows the shoe to move and stay on the foot. Hanas are more comfortable than any slippers I've worn, but even in the laceless style I can walk in them because of the straps. As for the sizes, I would recommend to err on the larger size. All my Xeros are 11. In comparison, my Merrell vapor and trail gloves are 10.5. I started trying 'barefoot' running many years ago when the first Vibrams came out and I have to say it took quite a while for my feet and biomechanics to fully adjust, especially when I mainly wear other normal shoes. That was until I found a closed, lined, heelless shoe that I could actually convert, so I'm glad it's becoming more affordable and the Xero really seems to lead the way as she gets pretty.
