I am 84 years old. I got my first Xeros 10 days ago. These are the only comfortable shoes I have ever put on my wide feet. Wish I had found shoes like this before my toes were permanently so realigned.
None of our shoes will feature arch support, however since they are completely flat, they should work well with most inserts since they won't alter the shape of them. In other words, you can absolutely add your own arch supports to our shoes and the supports should work as intended.
We currently do not have an ETA on our next Prio All-Day SR restock, however you can sign up for restock notifications via our newsletter here: bit.ly/newsletter-ni. We may also have availability for these through Amazon and/or REI, so they may be worth checking as well. Hope that helps!
I'm having what I think might be Achilles tendonitis. Would using a normal shoe at my desk job at work and using Xero shoes for all my other activities help this settle?
We would love to give you personal advice, but we are not doctors and can't specifically answer or give advice regarding your question. However, we’ve written a blog post about this that you might find helpful: xeroshoes.com/barefoot-running/will-barefoot-running-heal-my-injuries/
@@xeroshoes thank you. I have spent the day trying to figure it out. I have been using barefoot shoes for a while, not Xero because in the UK I hadn't heard of you guys before. My next pair will definitely be a Xero shoe though. I believe I have tight calves brought on by my weight training, desk job and my jogs to the coffee shop with bad form during my lunch breaks. Thanks for the info. Will you be supporting NHS and other UK services like you do in the U.S?
Happy to help! We currently do not have information on whether or not we will offer the same sort discounts and benefits for our UK site. That said, we will be sure to pass along your comment to the appropriate parties.
I’m coming from Altra HIIT shoes. I’m looking for something from Xero with the similar wide toe box. Which one of your shoes has a wide toe box, is good for CrossFit, shuttle runs, sprinting, weightlifting, and has a decent stack height.
Our 360 would likely be a good pick for most of those activities. They were designed with HIIT and Cross-Fit in mind and offer excellent lateral support. These will also have one of our thicker stack heights for an athletic style. For sprinting and shuttle runs, something like our Speed Force II may be better suited. That said, all of our shoes will feature a wider than average toe box and will be zero drop, which will also help with lifting. Hope that helps!
The 360 has an outsole built for lateral motion whereas the Speed Force II has an outsole built for forward motion. The Speed Force II will have a thinner sole (7.0mm compared to 9.5mm of the 360). The Speed Force II will also be lighter and very breathable.

Your shoes helped me get over 15 years of back, knee and hip pain. Thank you so much for all you do! My kids love wearing your shoes, too.
That is awesome!
No hair products! I was really needing to know the answer to those luscious curlz.
I can attest to putting out way more power with xero shoes on the bike
Hi, my son needs arch support. So you have shoes with built in arch support, or will putting in arch support work well with these shoes?
None of our shoes will feature arch support, however since they are completely flat, they should work well with most inserts since they won't alter the shape of them. In other words, you can absolutely add your own arch supports to our shoes and the supports should work as intended.
Need a re-up on the sizes for the Prio SR. Finding a zero drop, wide toe box nonslip shoe for work has been impossible so far.

Do the Prio SR Mens come in sizes larger than 10.5? Shalom
We are currently out of stock in our larger sizes, however the sizing will go up to a Men's 15.

@@xeroshoes thank you for the prompt response. What would be some of the differences between the 360 shoe and the speed force?
The 360 has an outsole built for lateral motion whereas the Speed Force II has an outsole built for forward motion. The Speed Force II will have a thinner sole (7.0mm compared to 9.5mm of the 360). The Speed Force II will also be lighter and very breathable.
