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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very comfortable for 1st minimalist shoe *by on Reviewed in the United States September 9, 2022* As mentioned, this is my first minimalist shoe and the reviews are accurate. I’ve worn these for a couple weeks now and I’m very happy with the room for my toes, the level heel, and right amount of protection for my feet. I ordered a half size down from my normal size (13) and the 12.5 is a perfect fit. It’s also nice that it’s a little wide because I have wide feet. They are stylish and go with anything I’m wearing.The only downside I’d point out is that they don’t ventilate as well as I would’ve thought given the mesh exterior. It seems to trap heat and moisture more so than other mesh sneakers I’ve owned.Otherwise, it’s a nearly perfect shoe. Let’s see how long they hold up after a few months of wearing them around. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Removing the insole made it a 5 star product! *by on Reviewed in the United States February 1, 2020* When I first got this, I ordered the speed force at the same time and kept this one because it looked better and felt firmerI was skeptical about how good it might be at first because the heel padding was substantial and the sole didn’t feel as close to the ground as my vivo primus lite didBut then today I removed the insole and BAM! Felt like a totally new shoe. My toes could curl better, I had better ground feel, it was just amazing.So for- the price (save $50 vs vivo primus lite)- the durability (way better durability than vivo)- the look and feel (sleek, neutral)If this doesn’t break down on me I think I’ve found my new favorite everyday shoe ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shoe has generally good make, but toebox smaller than I hoped *by on Reviewed in the United States May 4, 2025* Design looks good and sturdy, with a fairly sized toebox. Do not that it doesn't allow full toe spread, if you're looking into the barefoot shoes option. Nice bonus though that the silver strips in this model are reflectorized - useful for certain outdoor conditions ## Frequently Bought Together - Xero Shoes Men’s Prio Barefoot Athletic Sneaker - Xero Shoes Women’s Prio Barefoot Athletic Sneaker --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://botswana.desertcart.com/products/303276822-prio](https://botswana.desertcart.com/products/303276822-prio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Botswana* *Store origin: BW* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
